Do metropolitan areas mean anything? A research note.

"In this brief study, I ask the most elementary question about the coherence of [U.S.] central cities and suburbs: are their population changes correlated in any simple way?...Specifically, I ask the following question: suppose one knows the national population growth rate, whether an SMSA component is the central city (cities) or suburbs, and the region in which the SMSA is located, then would the ability to explain the component's population growth rate be improved by knowing which SMSA the component is in?... The conclusion is that there appears to be an SMSA effect on population growth."

Dynamics of rural-urban migration in India: 1960-1981.

"This paper analyzes a multi-sectoral simulation model of the Indian economy designed to isolate the sources of Indian economic growth and urbanization since 1960. The model shares many common traits with other computable general equilibrium (CGE) simulation models, and its underlying framework is neoclassical. The model stresses spatial issues so that it can provide predictions on rural/urban labor demands, and hence on migration flows. The central issue we seek to evaluate is whether a neoclassical development paradigm can explain adequately the somewhat paradoxical patterns of urbanization and economic growth observed in India since 1960. Our conclusion is a qualified, affirmative response, based on the model's ability to replicate key macroeconomic variables."

Some ultrastructural effects of insulin, hydrocortisone, and prolactin on mammary gland explants.

The effects of insulin, hydrocortisone, and prolactin on the morphology of explants from midpregnant mouse mammary glands were studied. Insulin promotes the formation of daughter cells within the alveolar epithelium which are ultrastructurally indistinguishable from the parent cells. The addition of hydrocortisone to the medium containing insulin brings the daughter cells to a new, intermediate level of ultrastructural development by effecting an extensive increase of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) throughout the cytoplasm and an increase in the lateral paranuclear Golgi apparatus. When prolactin is added to the insulin-hydrocortisone medium, the daughter cells complete their ultrastructural differentiation. There is a translocation of the RER, Golgi apparatus, and nucleus and the appearance of secretory protein granules within the cytoplasm. There is excellent correlation between the ultrastructural appearance of the alveoli and their capacity to synthesize casein.
