When does division of labor lead to increased system output?
This paper develops a set of simplified dynamical models with which to explore the conditions under which division of labor leads to optimized system output, as measured by the rate of production of a given product. We consider two models: in the first model, we consider the flow of some resource into a compartment, and the conversion of this resource into some product. In the second model, we ...
متن کاملDoes HTLV-1 infection lead to increased intima-media thickness (IMT)? “Evidences form human clinical studies”
Briefly, based on the previous evidence and the results of the present study, it seems that infection with HTLV-1 by destruction of sub-layers of arteries, especially the intima layer, leads to disruption of the integrity of sub-layers of arteries and through various mechanisms, causing the sub-layer’s destruction, increasing the intima-media thickness, changing the lipid profile, and developme...
متن کاملWhen does ISO 9000 lead to improvements?
The aim of this paper is to discuss and explain the conditions under which ISO 9000 is likely to have positive effects on organisational performance and employee development. The results described in this paper are coming from a research project looking at ISO 9000 in a more integrated manner using the different research strategies. Both questionnaire surveys and case studies investigating the ...
متن کاملWhen Does Labor Scarcity Encourage Innovation?
This paper studies whether labor scarcity encourages technological advances, i.e., technology adoption or innovation, for example, as claimed by Habakkuk in the context of 19th-century United States. I de ne technology as strongly labor saving if technological advances reduce the marginal product of labor and as strongly labor complementary if they increase it. I show that labor scarcity encour...
متن کاملWhen does cyclic dominance lead to stable spiral waves?
Species diversity in ecosystems is often accompanied by the self-organisation of the population into fascinating spatio-temporal patterns. Here, we consider a two-dimensional threespecies population model and study the spiralling patterns arising from the combined effects of generic cyclic dominance, mutation, pair-exchange and hopping of the individuals. The dynamics is characterised by nonlin...
