Charges fly over rival leprosy vaccines

Vaccines for Prevention of Leprosy

VACCINES CONTAINING MYCOBACTERIUM VACCAE AND THEIR USE IN THE CHILDREN OF LEPROSY PATIENTS IN IRAN

The policy of vaccinating children who live with leprosy patients, and who have responses to leprosin A of2rnrn or less, with BCG+killed Mycobacterium vaccae if they lack a BCG scar, or with killed M. vaccae alone if they have a BCG scar, has been followed over 3-4 years in two centers in Iran. Judged on the basis of skin test conversion to leprosin positivity, the policy has been highly su...

Rival Reactions

Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are major events, reshaping competition among related firms (traditionally called rivals). Despite their seeming importance, most M&A studies have found only a limited empirical impact on rival stock prices. Our paper revisits this issue using a novel approach to characterize the degree of interactions among related firms based on their stock return correlations ...

A Remark on Topological Charges over the Fuzzy Sphere

We determine the Chern characters of two projective modules over the fuzzy sphere and calculate the corresponding topological charges (Chern numbers). These turn out to have corrections—compared to the commutative limit—induced by the noncommutative structure of the three coordinates.
