Output Growth Decomposition in the Presence of Input Quality Effects: A Stochastic Frontier Approach [PDF]
How do physical capital accumulation and total factor productivity (TFP) individually add to economic growth? We approach this question from the perspective of the quality of physical capital and labor, namely the age of physical capital and human ...

Unbalanced Growth, Senescence and Aging [PDF]
Usually, cells balance their growth with their division. Coordinating growth inputs with cell division ensures the proper timing of division when sufficient cell material is available and affects the overall rate of cell proliferation. At a very fundamental level, cellular replicative lifespan-defined as the number of times a cell can divide, is a ...

Flow ecology of invasive suckermouth catfish in urbanized ridge-to-reef systems on O’ahu, Hawai’i
IntroductionThe effects of flow regimes on the ability of invasive species to establish and maintain populations in the ridge to reef (R2R) systems common to oceanic islands is not well understood.

Age and size at maturity: sex, environmental variability and developmental thresholds [PDF]
In most organisms, transitions between different life-history stages occur later and at smaller sizes as growth conditions deteriorate. Day and Rowe recently proposed that this pattern could be explained by the existence of developmental thresholds ...
