The Resurgence in Wage Inequality and Technological Change: A New Approach (CBTC)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2021,

Social-science explanations for rising wage inequality have reached a dead end. Most economists argue that computerization has been primarily responsible, while on the other side of the argument are sociologists and political scientists who stress the role of political forces in the evolution process of wages. I would like to use my knowledge and experience to come up with an original theory on th...

Secretion of inflammatory mediators from eosinophils and their tissue residing cell-free granules: mechanisms and implications in inflammation (eosinophil secretion)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,

Eosinophils, both as end-stage effector cells and as Th2-immunomodulators, have the capacity to secrete varied inflammatory mediators, such as, cytokines and enzymes that are stored in their cytoplasmic secretory granules. Among them are the cationic proteins: major basic protein, eosinophil peroxidase, and the eosinophil RNases. In the last decade several studies, both in vitro and in vivo, have...
