Holmstrom Cohomology operation

Consider two Generalized cohomology theories hh and kk on CW pairs. A sequence of natural transformations Ψ n:h nk n+s\Psi^n: h^n \to k^{n+s} commuting with the connecting homomorphisms is called a natural transformation of degree ss. If h=kh = k, call this a stable cohomology operation of degree ss. There is a similar notion for Reduced cohomology theories.
