Story, page 6 USP’s Expertise in Pharmacy and Health Policy Demystify Medicare Part D POSTMASTER: Send address changes to USP Bulletin, University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, 600 South 43rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-4495, Attention: Marie Schwarzl. Periodicals postage paid at Philadelphia, PA. University of the Sciences in Philadelphia admits students of any gender, age, disability, race, creed, color, sexual orientation, or national origin. The University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. MEDICARE PART D has been in the news for well over a year now, and USP experts have written about it and have been quoted and interviewed on the subject on both regional and national levels. With the implementation of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) in January, USP has taken an active role in educating students, the health care community, health policy makers, and the public at large about the impact of the plan. “A major provision of the MMA is the creation of a new prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part D,” says RICHARD STEFANACCI, DO, MGH, MBA, AGSF, CMD, founding executive director of USP’s Health Policy Institute. “This will affect all stakeholders involved in health care, not solely those limited to seniors.” The impact of the new drug benefit will reach well beyond Medicare beneficiaries to affect managed care plans, physicians, hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, long-term care facilities, hospice and home health agencies, ambulatory surgical centers, insurance companies, and state governments. USP is taking a multipronged approach to educating stakeholders about the potential impact of the benefit, says Dr. Stefanacci. “We’re serving as an important resource in educating Medicare beneficiaries and key stakeholders about the new drug benefit USP BULLETIN: MEDICARE PART D PAGE 5 through speakers bureaus for major pharmaceutical companies, by providing resources in physicians’ offices, via an ongoing speaker series at USP, and by providing training to physicians and pharmacists involved in senior care to help them educate beneficiaries.” In addition, the Health Policy Institute has been instrumental in providing research and white papers, toolkits for physicians and pharmacists, information about Medicare Part D, and consulting services for health plans and other organizations looking to determine the impact of MMA. Health policy experts from USP will be lecturing at various national meetings throughout the year to identify the concerns of health care providers and policymakers. “As the oldest school of pharmacy in the country, it’s a natural fit for us to play a significant role in educating seniors and stakeholders in the pharmaceutical industry about how they will have access to medication in the future. We have a responsibility to do the necessary research and education and affect health policy going forward,” says Dr. Stefanacci. “The United States population of seniors will grow from 35 million to 80 million over the next two decades. This growth will cause an increased need for pharmaceutical products. As a result, how pharmaceuticals are accessed and paid for will have a major effect not only on the health and wellness of seniors but on how valuable resources are allocated.” As part of USP’s education initiative, the health policy program hosted an ongoing speaker series last semester about the MMA designed to highlight the changes that can be expected from a broad range of perspectives. The speaker series featured individuals from the long-term care community, health plans and insurance carriers, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the pharmaceutical industry, and advocates for elder care. The Health Policy Institute is also working with state legislatures to determine the best way to address issues of concern for Medicaid beneficiaries. Under the new drug benefit, all prescription coverage under Medicaid will be shifted into Medicare prescription plans. As a result, individuals who were dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid—many of whom are elderly and in long-term care facilities—face a number of limitations and exclusions on their prescription plans. “Because we’re a stone’s throw away from Washington, where the legislation was developed, we’re in a unique position to influence important policy issues that have come about as a result of this new drug benefit,” says Dr. Stefanacci. ROBERT FIELD, JD, MPH, PhD, director of USP’s graduate program in health policy adds, “We can make an important contribution to the health care community by offering our combined expertise on pharmacy and policy issues. We’re closely analyzing issues relating to the Medicare benefit as they arise and have brought together a variety of stakeholders in the drug benefit program through our speaker series. The summaries of these talks will be available on our website, which will also provide other resources and updates concerning MMA’s implementation.” (See www.healthpolicy.usip.edu.) “The new drug benefit will bring significant financial and policy implications to clinical care,” says Mark H. Beers, MD, particularly due to the large number of indieditor-in-chief of The Merck Manuals, who viduals in nursing facilities who will become participated in the speaker series. “USP is dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid bringing students, health care providers, and coverage under the benefit.” policymakers from a variety of professional Students enrolled in USP’s pharmacy and backgrounds—medical, social work, policy— health policy programs are currently learning together to provide a broad perspective and about the benefit through various pharmacy bring a clinical sense to what Medicare management and health policy courses.

RICHARD STEFANACCI benefit will be the key to its success. As future pharmacists, we are going to be on the frontline with patients and will interact with them more than any other health care professionals. Education will help us become patient advocates and allow us to help beneficiaries navigate through the sea of change that is coming.” Another presenter who took part in the health policy program’s speaker series, Paul Baldwin, executive director of the Long Term Care Pharmacy Alliance in Washington, D.C., notes, “Now that USP has expanded into the health policy arena, people are looking to the university as an authoritative source of information. This speaker series plays an important role in educating the various stakeholders about the potential impact of the Medicare drug benefit. In the long-term care community, the implications of implementing the benefit are significant, chair of the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Pharmacy Administration and associate professor of clinical pharmacy at USP. In addition, students are being encouraged to attend Medicare Part D continuing education programs to learn more about the benefit. USP currently has a grant proposal to allow students in the school of pharmacy to meet with seniors in the local community to educate them about how to select their pharmacy providers and enroll in Medicare Part D. If the grant is approved, students will team up with local churches to speak to seniors in their congregations about the benefit and what they need to do to enroll in Medicare Part D. Students will learn about the benefit and use that knowledge to educate seniors about various requirements of the prescription plan. “Through education and local outreach programs, we are preparing our students to address this important issue now and into the future,” says USP associate professor LIZA TAKIYA PharmD. It is an extremely important role that will help shape the understanding and implementation of this far-reaching benefit. USP BULLETIN: WEST CENTER PAGE 7 CHEMISTRY LAB. For many, the words conjure up a bevy of images and memories: the hiss of a Bunsen burner, scratched safety goggles, and a lab filled with white coats and unique aromas—where knowing how to properly dispose of toxic waste is as important as knowing the Periodic Table. It is this atmosphere that drove a young chemistry undergraduate into the University’s hub of theory, the West Center for Computational Chemistry and Drug Design. “It was the thought of having to wear safety glasses that drove me to Preston Moore’s office,” says RAEANNE NAPOLEON C’05. “And,” she adds upon consideration, “a love for theoretical research and tackling big problems.” A snapshot from the ab initio molecular dynamics simulation of Zr4(OH)8(H2O)16, a Zr(IV) tetranuclear species, important for the functioning of all commercially available antiperspirants.

An illustration representing the binding mode between heparin, a widely used anticoagulant drug (yellow), and a short aryl amide foldamer, a promising heparinantidote (red), designed with the aid of molecular dynamics simulations. Reprinted with permission from Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 44, Issue 41, October 21, 2005. It is this fascination with large theoretical problems, problems that require the equivalent of 128 computers to process, that Napoleon shares with her research mentor and West Center Director, PRESTON MOORE, PhD. Dr. Moore is one of six full-time researchers who use the West Center resources to apply theoretical and computational methods to chemical and biological problems. These methods help researchers solve mathematical models describing the nuclei and electrons that make up small molecules like aspirin and large protein molecules like hemoglobin. As the mathematical models and computational power improve, chemists will be able to expand their ability to predict the behavior of molecules. This, in turn, will allow West Center researchers to solve many practical problems, including simplifying the design of new drugs. VOJISLAVA POPHRISTIC, PhD, for example, uses “molecular dynamics” computational methods to advance her efforts to develop an antidote to heparin, which is widely used as an anticoagulant drug for treatment and prevention of thrombosis. RANDY ZAUHAR, PhD, on the other hand, is developing a “shape signature” computational method to tackle the problem of designing drug molecules, or inhibitors, against highly mutable targets such as HIV protease. Computational chemistry is a rapidly growing field that is continually developing more powerful computational tools to improve the ability of these methods. According to EDWARD BIRNBAUM, PhD, chair of the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, “As long as Gordon E. Moore’s law is still applicable and we continue to double computational speed every year or so, we’re going to keep finding better ways to do computational work.” Recognizing the field’s potential and seeing an opportunity to lead, the University has made significant investments in staffing and instrumentation over the last five years. The result is a rare combination of caliber and breadth, especially for such a small department. “A typical department of chem- istry with 20 faculty members will have one computational chemist,” says Dr. Moore. “We have six.” The West Center is also a rare forum for researchers from disparate fields to come together to work on common problems but from different perspectives. “For example, I’m doing molecular dynamic simulation, which is one part of computational chemistry. GUILLERMO MOYNA, PhD, is doing electronic structuring, which is what most people associate with theoretical chemistry. MICHAEL BRUIST, PhD, is investigating the dynamics of DNA in DNA-protein structures and unusual DNA structures, and ZHIJUN LI, PhD, is doing bioinformatics homology modeling, which is a way of determining protein structure so that drugs can be designed virtually on a computer,” says Dr. Moore. “It’s very diverse, but all have a need for large computations.” The National Science Foundation (NSF) West Center Director, Dr. Preston Moore and Niny Rao, PhD. “Not only is the West Center a vital resource for our own researchers throughout the University, but now with the future possibility of short courses, it also has great potential for affecting our industry partners nationally.” SUSAN BARRETT Assistant Vice President for Corporate, Foundation, and Alumni Relations cited USP’s concentration of expertise and common need and its focus on collaborative research as the major factors in its decision to award the University a nationally competitive Major Research Instrumentation grant in 2004. “It was a feather in our cap,” says Dr. Moore, “because USP’s proposal was pitted against larger topflight research institutions like University of Illinois and Carnegie Mellon University.” Awarded on merit alone, Dr. Moore’s NSF grant allowed the University to purchase a Beowulf Supercomputer Cluster with the processing capability of 128 computers. The NSF grant, although critical to the advancement of the West Center, built on the early accomplishments of Dr. Birnbaum, who advocated for the establishment of a center for computational chemistry and secured the first successful grant from the H.O. West Foundation. Without the visionary generosity of the H.O. West Foundation, Drs. Zauhar and Moyna—USP’s first computational chemists—would not have been able to fashion the University’s first computer cluster (20 CPUs) that established the center that bears the foundation’s name. On the momentum of this early and steady success, the West Center is driving forward. “Our immediate goals at the West Center are threefold,” says Dr. Birnbaum, “to reach out to the corporate community with consulting services and possibly a series of short courses in computational chemistry, to expand the profile and use of the center throughout the various departments in the University, and to offer more research opportunities to students, particularly undergraduates.” This latter effort is what allowed Napoleon to contribute to research that has culminated in three published papers and one pending publication. Now a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, Napoleon says she feels lucky about “getting in on the ground floor…when the West Center was basically me and Dr. Moore.” Napoleon cites her research experience at the West Center as one reason she feels she has a jump on her graduate school peers. After three years working with Dr. Moore in the West Center, Napoleon has a clearer sense of her research interests. As her own academic career and research interests flourish, so, too, does the West Center. According to Napoleon, “Based on the growth I’ve seen over the past few years, I have no doubt that the West Center is on the verge of national recognition.” Establishing the West Center as a nationally recognized center of excellence is on the minds of everyone involved with the center. SUSAN BARRETT, MEd, assistant vice president for corporate, foundation, and alumni relations, works closely with the West Center and shares its goals. “There are incredible opportunities for everyone,” says Barrett. “Not only is the West Center a vital resource for our own researchers throughout the University,” she notes, “but now with the future possibility of short courses, it also has great potential for affecting our industry partners nationally.” The West Center is now exploring how best to offer a series of short courses in computational chemistry and related areas specifically geared for a corporate or industry audience. These proposed one- to two-day workshops will be designed to introduce industrial scientists and managers to the power of the methodology and the tools used in computational chemistry and improve the skills of scientists who are already well versed in this methodology. There’s no doubt that the West Center is an active laboratory—having generated over 20 published papers in the last two years alone—but for now, it only has the resources to process one large mathematical problem at a time. As interest among University and industry researchers grows, time with the computer becomes a tighter commodity. It’s a lot like astronomers scheduling time at a mountaintop telescope. With such a diverse group of researchers and students A computer-generated vying for processing time, model of how a protein inserts into a membrane. it’s up to Dr. Moore to The lipid-bilayer surface arrange the schedule.

PROFESSIONALISM AND RESPONSIBILITY The White Coat Ceremony is a relatively new phenomenon throughout the health sciences. The first was held at the Arnold P. Gold Foundation of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York in 1993 and was used to impress on future physicians their “Hippocratic responsibilities.” The idea quickly caught on, and many health-related professions introduced the ceremony into the first year of the curriculum to remind students of their heavy responsibilities as members of a caring profession. At PCP, the ceremony is held at the start of students’ third year, the beginning of their Donning the Symbol of Professionalism: Third-Year Doctor of Pharmacy Students Honored in White Coat Ceremony pharmacy program and reminds students of the trust patients put in their pharmacists. “These students will have a lot of responsibility when they step out the door at the end of their time at USP,” says Dr. DiGate. “The White Coat Ceremony connects them to their goal by reminding them of that awesome responsibility.” THE 2005 USP CEREMONY More than 220 white-coat-clad students entered the Bobby Morgan Arena on October 2, 2005.

Dr. DiGate and ANDREW PETERSON PharmD, the chair of the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Pharmacy Administration welcomed the students and their families. STEPHANIE ZARUS P’85, PharmD’88, chief performance officer at ExcelleRx, a pharmaceutical care company in Philadelphia, gave the keynote address, encouraging students to believe they can accomplish this. “I remember sitting in that seat and wondering if I’d ever survive,” said Dr. Zarus. “Now look at me. You can do anything you want in this profession.” ELENA UMLAND PharmD, director of the doctor of pharmacy program, then introduced each student to the audience, and each was greeted by a faculty member and Dean DiGate. The students received USP/PCP lapel pins from the faculty and pinned each other at the end of the introduc- professional studies. “The symbolism is particularly pertinent in our program,” says RUSSELL DIGATE, PhD, current dean of PCP, “because most USP students enter the college of pharmacy right out of high school. After two years of preprofessional studies, this ceremony ushers them into the professional phase of the program, where they will be held to the highest standards.” The white coat, which has USP and Philadelphia College of Pharmacy embroidered on it, is worn for the first time for the ceremony and symbolizes the student’s acceptance into the brother- and sisterhood of professionals. Badges with their name and year are worn by all of the students. Students keep the coats throughout their careers at USP, using them in labs and on rotations.

While an undergrad at Oregon State, DON HILLIGOSS PharmD’75 wanted to join a UN-sponsored medical ship serving poverty-stricken countries. Acceptance into a hospital pharmacy residency program immediately following graduation required postponement of the idea. Grad school, a career, and family responsibilities then took precedence. More than 30 years later, Dr. Hilligoss had both the time and opportunity to pursue his goal. Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) in Siem Reap, Cambodia, became his workplace for three months, thanks to a unique program offered by his employer, Pfizer Global Research and Development. The company’s Global Health Fellow program sends employees into developing countries with high rates of HIV/AIDS in an attempt to have a beneficial effect on local health care delivery systems. When Dr. Hilligoss noticed the Cambodia position combined his training in pharmacy and pediatrics, he recalled his earlier desire. Dr. Hilligoss joined a multinational volunteer team at AHC. The hospital resulted from a trip photographer Kenro Izu made to photograph the Angkor monuments. Moved by the sight of so many children without medical care, he founded Friends Without A Border, and the hospital opened in 1999. AHC administrators asked Dr. Hilligoss to train and encourage the three hospital pharmacists to move out into patient care areas, becoming more involved. A heavy outpatient load, filling some 300 prescriptions a day, makes this difficult. To achieve the goal, Dr. Hilligoss and the pharmacists went on teaching rounds, became more involved in patient teaching, and provided consultations. “Basically,” he says, “I just did what Phil Gerbino, John Gans, George Downs, and Pete Vlasses taught me to do 30 years ago.” Current USP faculty, including Drs. Adeboye Adejare, Russell DiGate and Barbara Byrne, helped Dr. Hilligoss prepare for his trip. They provided the syllabus and lecture notes for the USP pharmacology and medicinal chemistry course. He selected modules pertinent to AHC as the basis for his lecture series. Dr. Hilligoss received his doctor of pharmacy from USP in 1975. He worked for two years as clinical coordinator of pediatric pharmacy services at The New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical College and then as a pharmacist at the University of California at Los Angeles Hospital. In 1980, Dr. Hilligoss became an assistant clinical professor of pharmacy and pediatrics at West Virginia University Medical Center in Charleston. Eight years later, he joined Pfizer in Groton, Connecticut, as a senior clinical investigator, becoming an associate director in 1991. One gratifying experience in Cambodia was seeing the drug fluconazole, an antifungal, being used to help children dealing with malnutrition and HIV. Angkor Hospital for Children in Siem Reap, Cambodia, became Dr. Hilligoss’s workplace for three months, thanks to a unique program offered by his employer, Pfizer Global Research and Development. While the drug being dispensed at AHC was a generic made in India, the package inserts contained specific information on pharmacokinetics and drug interactions directly out of Phase I studies Dr. Hilligoss had done with pediatric patients at Pfizer in the late-1980s. Dr. Hilligoss hopes to return to AHC. “It was much more personally rewarding than anything I’ve done lately,” he said. “I would encourage USP students to go on foreign rotations; I would even be willing to take a few over to Cambodia with me.” USP BULLETIN: BULLETIN BOARD PAGE 15 BULLETIN BOARD (below) Adeboye Adejare, PhD, chair of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Department and Roy Robson, PhD, coordinator of Intellectual Heritage. SARAH SPINLER TO SERVE ON MEDICARE MODEL GUIDELINES COMMITTEE Members of the United States Pharmacopeia elected SARAH SPINLER PharmD, professor of clinical pharmacy, to head the Cardiovascular Information Expert Committee and to serve on the U.S. Pharmacopeia’s Model Guidelines Expert Committee (MGEC). The Cardiovascular Information Expert Committee is one of 16 therapeutic-area committees that will support the MGEC. As the MGEC revises and updates the Medicare Model Guidelines, a classification system prescription drug benefit plans may use to develop their formularies, the expert committees will provide expertise. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act (MMA) designated the U.S. Pharmacopeia, which sets official quality standards for medicines manufactured and sold in the U.S., to create the Model Guidelines and to revise them as necessary. The U.S. Pharmacopeia plans to update the guidelines at least annually, reviewing materials for new FDA-approved drugs, incorporating changes in usage for covered drugs, and considering comments and feedback. Dr. Spinler will serve for five years. “It is an honor to serve on the Medicare Model Guidelines Committee,” says Dr. Spinler, “especially when one of our roles is to help ensure that older Americans have access to the medications they need.” USP has a long history with the U.S. Pharmacopeia, dating back to 1830 when George B. Wood, MD, professor of chemistry, was involved in the first revision to the United States Pharmacopeia. “Members of the USP faculty have been involved with the U.S. Pharmacopeia since its inception,” says Roger L. Williams, MD, executive vice president and CEO of the U.S. Pharmacopeia. “It’s a privilege to have another USP professor serving in this key role.” 700 STUDENTS GET REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE AT CAREER FAIR MARTIN LUTHER KING CELEBRATION USP students had a unique opportunity to meet prospective employers and practice their interviewing skills during the fall Career Fair sponsored by USP’s Career Services Department held in October. Nearly 700 students, representing virtually every USP major, participated in the event to meet employers and discuss career and internship opportunities. More than 60 medical centers, pharmaceutical companies, health care providers, laboratories, and corporations were represented at the fair. “It’s important for students to participate in these types of events to become familiar with many of the companies who will seek to hire USP talent when they prepare to graduate,” says PATRICIA PETERSON, MEd, director of Career Services. “Additionally, students learn how to market themselves in a professional manner.” Career Services offers a number of programs to help students polish their interview skills and professionalize their appearance. The department will host its annual Etiquette Dinner in March to help students refine their dining skills. A series of interview days will also be held throughout the semester to give graduating seniors an opportunity to interview for real job opportunities with employers. Poster presentation reflects USP’s commitment to service COLLOQUIUM GIVES FACULTY TOOLS TO INCREASE RESEARCH USP faculty and administrators gathered in December for the Second Annual USP Research Colloquium. Hosted by the Office of Sponsored Projects and Research, the daylong event showcased recent advancements in research at the University and offered an interactive forum for faculty to learn how to find funding for research. BARBARA BYRNE, PhD, vice president of academic affairs, said the Research Colloquium “sets the tone for USP’s research agenda” and provides an important opportunity to discuss “what has been and what will be.” The colloquium featured guest panelists and funding experts drawn directly from the University’s ranks. KAREN MITCHELL, director of the office of sponsored projects and research, moderated a panel discussion featuring staff from institutional advancement who discussed the various avenues of funding faculty can pursue, from corporations to foundations and government agencies. RUSSELL DIGATE, PhD, dean of Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, followed with a panel discussion devoted to demystifying the grant application review processes at the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. The day culminated in a series of group activities designed to introduce faculty to concepts of how to generate a fundable hypothesis and build collaborative partnerships. For RODNEY WIGENT, PhD, dean of the College of Graduate Studies and director of academic research, the colloquium was emblematic of the emerging research culture at USP. “We all need to pull together and participate to make this [research] happen,” said Dr. Wigent, “because, after all, scholarship is for everyone.” USP celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday by hosting best-selling New York Times author Omar Tyree (shown at right) combined with a poster presentation on service learning. The 2001 NAACP Image Award recipient, Tyree presented a lecture titled, “Has the Dream Been Attained?” Tyree reflected on the movement of self-empowerment that took place in the ’60s and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s march on poverty. The poster presentation reflected the many community service activities in which USP students, faculty, and staff are personally and professionally involved. The poster presentations included: • Kappa Epsilon fraternity and their work to raise awareness of breast cancer • Bridging the Gaps, a summer program that provides service to underserved populations while training community responsive health and social service professionals • A service learning class comprised of occupational and physical therapy students who worked with members of a quadriplegic rugby team The poster program was sponsored by the Center for Community Connections in the Division of Student Affairs, the Service Learning Committee, and the Civic Engagement Steering Committee.

EARL COAUTHORS ASSESMENT OF HEART FAILURE DRUG GRACE EARL PharmD, assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Pharmacy Administration, coauthored an article on the heart failure drug levosimendan with James Fitzpatrick, MD, from the Advanced Heart Failure/Transplant Center at Temple University. The article, published in Annals of Pharmacotherapy, evaluates the results of studies of the new calcium sensitizer levosimendan. It was published online, October 11, 2005, at www.theannals.com and in print in the journal’s November 2005 issue. The article examines the clinical trials and pharmacokinetic studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of levosimendan. This drug is in Phase III clinical trials and will likely be submitted for approval to the FDA in the near future. It may be a viable alternative to intravenous drugs such as dobutamine and milrinone used to treat patients hospitalized for acute heart failure. Patients with decompensated heart failure or patients awaiting heart transplantation may require intravenous drugs to increase cardiac output and relieve pulmonary congestion. “Levosimendan is effective and appears to have a lower frequency of adverse outcomes,” says Dr. Earl. “My colleague and I were interested in evaluating the available research on levosimendan because it has a unique mechanism of action. Levosimendan differs from all other available intravenous drugs in its ability to enhance the pumping action of the heart.” Dr. Earl’s interest in levosimendan comes out of her clinical practice at the Center for Advanced Heart Failure Management at Hahnemann University Hospital. Students in the doctor of pharmacy program have visited this site for their sixth-year Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience course since 2001. Students attending this rotation gain a better understanding of the pharmacotherapeutic management of patients with heart failure or following heart transplantation. Students interact with nurses and physicians in an outpatient setting to perform medication histories, offer patient counseling and in-services, and answer drug information questions.

It was very exciting to find out subscribers to ScienceDirect were so interested in accessing the article as well.” Dr. Vas, who has been at USP for three years, says that the article generalizes the notion of dimension of a finite von Neumann algebra to a larger class of purely algebraic objects. Von Neumann algebras are used in functional analysis, geometry, and topology as well as in theoretical physics. The result of the paper is interesting since the dimension of a von Neumann algebra is defined using its geometric and topological structure that the purely algebraic objects are lacking. The research of Dr. Vas shows that the dimension can be defined for this class of algebraic objects as well. ScienceDirect is the fruition of a project taken on by Elsevier, the publisher of more than 2,000 scientific and health care journals, and eight universities to create a digital library.
