## Abstract This paper builds on the empirical literature on corporate growth rates — which suggests that corporate growth rates are very nearly random — and asks whether this empirical work is consistent with standard theories of the firm. We examine both static and dynamic optimizing models of fi

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of stimulus intensity on heart rate response in 18 low-risk human fetuses between 37 and 40 weeks gestation. Each fetus was stimulated in quiet sleep with a 30-s voice sound at intensities of 80 dB and 90 dB. The fetal cardiac electrical signal w

In experiments with one freshwater (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) and three marine organisms (Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Cyclotella mna, and Chaetoceros galvestmensis), mercury was more toxic than the other metals tested (silver, cadmium, lead, and copper) ; and its toxicity is comparatively irreversible.
