Since the first half of the nineteenth century, the secular rate of growth in real gross product per labor hour in the U.S. domestic business economy gradually accelerated from about 0.5 percent a year to a maximum average annual rate of 3.5 percent in the subperiod 1948-66 (see Table 1). Since then, it declined to about 1 percent during the period 1973-78, and then fell absolutely in 1979 and ...

This paper uses ideas for stochastic search implementations of adaptive Bayesian models, such as those outlined in Denison, Malick and Smith (1998 a,b) and Chipman, George and McCulloch (1998a) and effectively applies these ideas to logspline density estimation and triogram regression. Interesting comparisons are made to assess the effect of greedy search, stochastic search and model averaging....

This article describes the problems the author's basic writing students have had in generating ideas for writing in response to timed essay tests. Since many of the common pedagogical approaches for helping students generate or create ideas for writing are ineffective, the author proposes an alternate technique based on the classical notion of the topoi. This ideological system enables students...

From the results of these studies we conclude that: 1. The sympathetic cardiac nerves, as does levarterenol, increase myocardial contraction, (indicated by a shorter, more abru...

Mounting evidence suggests that partial disequilibrium—meaning disequilibrium for some elements, but not for others—may be a common but rarely detected phenomenon during metamorphic mineral growth, even in ordinary prograde reactions that progress to completion. Detailed examination of compositional variations in garnet crystals over a range of metamorphic grade suggests distinctly different sc...

This paper develops a model of organizational culture and effectiveness based on four traits of organizational cultures; involvement, consistency, adaptability, and mission. These traits are examined through two linked studies: In the first, qualitative case studies of five firms are used to identify the traits and the nature of their linkage to effectiveness; In the second, a quantitative stud...
