Introducing dynamic analysis using Malthus's Principle of Population.

From: The Journal of Economic Education | Date: January 1, 2003| Author: Pingle, Mark | Copyright information

Abstract: Dynamic models are increasingly used in economics, especially in macroeconomics. However, the skills required for constructing and analyzing dynamic models are advanced relative to those required for static models. Consequently, dynamic models are difficult to introduce into courses where the technical skills of students are modest or substantially varied. The author illustrates that, because it is inherently dynamic, Malthus's Principle of Population provides a natural c...

Multiple minisequencing screen for seven southeast Asian nondeletional [alpha]-thalassemia mutations
Clinical Chemistry ; [alpha]-Thalassemia is the most common globin disorder in the world, and the severe forms are especially prevalent among Southeast Asians. It is a disorder of absent or reduced production of [alpha]-globin chains resulting from mutations in the [alpha]-globin gene cluster on chromosome 16p13.3.

American Family Physician ; [Alpha.sub.1] -PI for Emphysema Due to [Alpha.sub.1] -Antitrypsin Deficiency [Alpha.sub.1] -antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder that may result in premature pulmonary emphysema. Affected persons are deficient in the protective protein, [alpha.sub.1] -proteinase inhibitor ([alpha.sub.1]
Signal Peptide-Dependent Targeting of a Rice [alpha]-Amylase and Cargo Proteins to Plastids and Extracellular Compartments of Plant Cells1
Plant Physiology ; [alpha]-Amylases are important enzymes for starch degradation in plants. However, it has been a long-running debate as to whether [alpha]-amylases are localized in plastids where starch is stored. To study the subcellular localization of [alpha]-amylases in plant cells, a rice (Oryza sativa)

Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology ; Fe(IIalpha]-ketoglutarate ([alpha]KG)-dependent hydroxylases catalyze an amazing diversity of reactions that result in protein side-chain modifications, repair of alkylated DNA/RNA, biosynthesis of antibiotics and plant products, metabolism related to lipids, and biodegradation of a variety of
Modulation of Bacterial Growth by Tumor Necrosis Factor-[alpha] In Vitro and In Vivo
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine ; Tumor necrosis factor-[alpha] (TNF-[alpha]) plays an important role in innate immunity. Recent in vitro studies have shown that TNF-[alpha] may also serve as a growth factor for some bacteria. We examined the physiologic relevance of this phenomenon both in vitro and in vivo. Recombinant mouse
Overexpression of Tumor Necrosis Factor-[alpha] Diminishes Pulmonary Fibrosis Induced by Bleomycin or Transforming Growth Factor-[beta]
American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology ; Tumor necrosis factor-[alpha] (TNF-[alpha]) is thought to be important in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. However, surfactant protein-C/TNF-[alpha] transgenic mice do not spontaneously develop pulmonary fibrosis but instead develop alveolar enlargement and loss of elastic recoil. We
Oncostatin M is a potent stimulator of (alpha)1-antitrypsin secretion in lung epithelial cells: Modulation by transforming growth factor-beta and interferon-gamma
American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology ; alpha^sub 1Antitrypsin (alpha^sub 1AT) plays a key role in lung homeostasis. Although the hepatocyte is considered as the primary source of of alpha^sub 1^ -AT, we have previously demonstrated that rat alveolar epithelial type II cells as well as the human A549 cell line synthesize alpha^sub 1^-AT,
