CAPM describes the relationship between risk and expected return for an individual portfolio or security. Its underlying theory has prompted lively discussion about what "risk" actually means, asserting that only "systematic" (non-diversified) risk brings real reward to investors.

Radiative neutron [beta]-decay in effective field theory
We consider radiative [beta]-decay of the neutron in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. Nucleon-structure effects not encoded in the weak coupling constants [g.sub.A] and [g.sub.V] are determined at next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion, and enter at the O(0.5%)-level, making a sensitive test of the Dirac structure of the weak...

Rapid, simultaneous genotyping of five common Southeast Asian [beta]-thalassemia mutations by multiplex minisequencing and denaturing HPLC
[beta]-Thalassemias are inherited hemoglobin disorders characterized by reduced production of [beta]-globin chain. The severe forms of [beta]-thalassemia produce marked anemia starting a few months after birth, and survival relies on regular blood transfusion and the lifelong use of drugs to prevent iron accumulation (1). [beta]-Thalassemias are among the commonest genetic...
