The article presents new tests oftbe convergence hypothesis. It first analyzes the unconditional pattern of growth of human and physical capital (conventionally measured by an inventory method) and shows that these tests do support the hypothesis that domestic inputs of poor countries appear to be c

The question of whether there is a tendency for regional convergence has become a central topic for economic research. This paper considers the issue of convergence across Greek regions, following the theoretical basis of the neoclassical model of economic growth. Our analysis ยฎnds no evidence of co
Derivatives of isogenic stringent (relA+) and relaxed (relA) strains of Escherichia coli were compared in respect of rates of the dissociation of peptidyl-tRNA from ribosomes during protein synthesis. The derivatives both contained a mutant pth gene which rendered temperature-sensitive their peptidy
Peptidyl-tRNA dissociates from the ribosomes of Escherichia coli during protein biosynthesis. The ribosome editor hypothesis states that incorrect peptidyl-tRNAs dissociate preferentially. Editing would therefore prevent the completion of proteins containing misincorporated amino acids. We have isol
The hypothesis that all life on earth traces back to a single common ancestor is a fundamental postulate in modern evolutionary theory. Yet, despite its widespread acceptance in biology, there has been comparatively little attention to formally testing this "hypothesis of common ancestry". We review
