Growing Pains: Challenges for a Rising China
(MIT Press - Journals, 2014) -
The growing role of web-based geospatial technology in disaster response and support
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)This paper examines changes in disaster response and relief efforts and recent web-based geospatial technological developments through an evaluation of the experiences of the Center for Geographic Analysis, Harvard University, ... -
Growing Up Shuar: Life History Tradeoffs and Energy Allocation in the Context of Physical Growth Among an Indigenous Amazonian Population
(2016-05-16)Life history theory assumes that organisms allocate energetic resources (i.e., calories) to primary life functions such as maintenance, growth, reproduction, and physical activity in a manner that maximizes fitness. Under ... -
GrowRange: Anytime VCG-Based Mechanisms
(AAAI Press / MIT Press, 2004)We introduce anytime mechanisms for distributed optimization with self-interested agents. Anytime mechanisms retain good incentive properties even when interrupted before the optimal solution is computed, and provide better ... -
Growth and fabrication with single-walled carbon nanotube probe microscopy tips
(American Institute of Physics, 2000)Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) probe microscopy tips were grown by a surface growth chemical vapor deposition method. Tips consisting of individual SWNTs (1.5–4 nm in diameter) and SWNT bundles (4–12 nm in diameter) ... -
Growth and Fluctuations: A Causal Interpretation
(MIT Press, 1960)I. Introduction, 416.--II. The dynamic input-output system, 420.--III. Stability of the dynamic input-output system: investment policy, 423.--IV. Stability of the dynamic input-output system: output policy, 430.--V. Summary ... -
Growth and Inequality: The Role of Foreign Trade and Investment
(Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard University, 2001)This paper addresses the influence of foreign trade and investment on inequality or, more generally, on the distribution of income, with a focus on developing countries. There has been some scholarly debate on the influence ... -
Growth and population structure of Paracentrotus lividus (Echinodermata:Echinoidea) in two contrasting habitats
(Inter-Research Science Center, 1995)Two populations of Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck) (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) from the Northwestern Mediterranean were compared to ascertain the plasticity and adaptive value of certain biological parameters. These ... -
Growth Differentiation Factor 11 Is a Circulating Factor that Reverses Age-Related Cardiac Hypertrophy
(Elsevier BV, 2013)The most common form of heart failure occurs with normal systolic function and often involves cardiac hypertrophy in the elderly. To clarify the biological mechanisms that drive cardiac hypertrophy in aging, we tested ... -
Growth in a Time of Debt
(American Economic Association, 2010) -
Growth in Cities
(University of Chicago Press, 1992)Recent theories of economic growth, including those of Romer, Porter, and Jacobs, have stressed the role of technological spillovers in generating growth. Because such knowledge spillovers are particularly effective in ... -
Growth in Regions
(National Bureau of Economic Research, 2013)We use a newly assembled sample of 1,503 regions from 82 countries to compare the speed of per capita income convergence within and across countries. Regional growth is shaped by similar factors as national growth, such ... -
Growth of Flagellar Filaments of Escherichia coli is Independent of Filament Length
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012)Bacterial flagellar filaments grow at their distal ends, from flagellin that travels through a central channel \(\sim 2 nm\) in diameter. The flagellin is extruded from the cytoplasm by a pump powered by a proton motive force ... -
Growth of hydrodynamic perturbations in accretion disks: Possible route to non-magnetic turbulence
(Elsevier, 2006)We study the possible origin of hydrodynamic turbulence in cold accretion disks such as those in star-forming systems and quiescent cataclysmic variables. As these systems are expected to have neutral gas, the turbulent ... -
Growth of Nanotubes for Probe Microscopy Tips
(Nature Publishing Group, 1999) -
Growth of polygonal rings and wires of CuS on structured surfaces
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2011)Polygonal rings and microwires of covellite-type CuS were grown on micropillar arrays using chemical bath deposition and characterized by SEM, TEM, and XRD. A growth mechanism involving heterogeneous nucleation of CuS ... -
Growth of Selmer Rank in Nonabelian Extensions of Number Fields
(Duke University Press, 2008)Let \(p\) be an odd prime number, let E be an elliptic curve over a number field \(k\), and let \(F/k\) be a Galois extension of degree twice a power of p. We study the \(Z_p\)-corank \(rk_p(E/F)\) of the \(p\)-power Selmer ... -
Growth of ZnO Nanowires Catalyzed by Size-Dependent Melting of Au Nanoparticles
(Institute of Physics, 2009)We present a general approach to growing ZnO nanowires on arbitrary, high melting point (above 970 °C) substrates using the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) growth mechanism. Our approach utilizes the melting point reduction of ... -
Growth or Glamour? Fundamentals and Systematic Risk in Stock Returns
(Oxford University Press, 2010)The cash flows of growth stocks are particularly sensitive to temporary movements in aggregate stock prices, driven by shocks to market discount rates, while the cash flows of value stocks are particularly sensitive to ... -
Growth Patterns for Shape-Shifting Elastic Bilayers
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017-10-16)Inspired by the differential-growth-driven morphogenesis of leaves, flowers, and other tissues, there is increasing interest in artificial analogs of these shape-shifting thin sheets made of active materials that respond ...
