We define united K-theory for real C*-algebras, generalizing Bousfield’s topological united K-theory. United K-theory incorporates three functors — real K-theory, complex K-theory, and self-conjugate K-theory — and the natural transformations among them. The advantage of united K-theory over ordinary K-theory lies in its homological algebraic properties, which allow us to construct a Künneth-ty...

Inflation-linked bonds have gained notoriety in recent years. The global volume has increased tenfold in the past decade, with the United States, the United Kingdom, and France among the largest issuers of these securities. Inflation-linked bonds (commonly known as linkers) are a unique asset class in that it is one of the few that offers a nearly perfect (direct) hedge against inflation, while...

Monoclonal antibodies represent the fastest growing class of biopharmaceutical products and have a host of applications in medical research, diagnosis, therapy, and basic science. The production of recombinant monoclonal antibodies has revolutionized the generation of immunoglobulins, and their use represents a strategic breakthrough, affecting the global pharmaceutical market for therapeutic p...

s:2011:"Background: Imidacloprid (IMD) is a systemic insecticide which acts as an insect neurotoxin and belongs to a class of chemicals called the neonicotinoids which act on the central nervous system of insects. According to previous studies, IMD is rated as "moderately toxic" on an acute oral basis to mammals and according to United States Environmental Protection Agency this compound is cla...

Health services and policy research (HSPR) represent a multidisciplinary field which integrates knowledge from health economics, health policy, health technology assessment, epidemiology, political science among other fields, to evaluate decisions in health service delivery. Health service decisions are informed by evidence at the clinical, organizational, and policy level, levels with distinct...

there has been a recent development and explosion of interest among academicians across a wide range of disciplines in the use of virtual class room. utilization of the virtual class room as a laboratory experimentation for teaching and learning has increased significantly in recent years as development tools for web based applications have become easier to use and computers have become more ca...
