TL;DR: Baldwin and Gu as discussed by the authors provide an overview of the productivity program at Statistics Canada and a brief description of Canada's productivity performance and provide an update of Canada’s productivity performance in more recent years and analyses the sources of weak productivity performance.
Abstract: Baldwin and Gu (2008) provide an overview of the productivity program at Statistics Canada and a brief description of Canada’s productivity performance This paper provides an update of Canada’s productivity performance in more recent years and analyses the sources of weak productivity performance in Canada since 2000

TL;DR: This paper showed that the banks that relied most on wholesale funding contracted their lending the greatest during the crisis and increased their monitoring of informationally opaque firms for which the potential for informational rents is the highest.
Abstract: Banks reliance on short-term funding has increased over time. While an effective source of financing in good times, the 2007 financial crisis has exposed the vulnerability of banks and ultimately firms to such a liability structure. We show that it was the banks that relied most on wholesale funding that contracted their lending the greatest during the crisis. Our results suggest, however, that banks propagate liquidity shocks by reducing credit only to a certain type of borrowers. Importantly, in the financial crisis banks passed the liquidity shock only to public firms and not to private firms. Loans to private firms were affected through a different channel, largely through higher retained shares by lead arrangers. Vulnerable banks increased their monitoring of informationally opaque firms for which the potential for informational rents is the highest.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated in this paper that maintaining both models and their common variations is not practical for the development of larger and more inclusive models and it is argued that only one of the above models and its expanded forms should be used to describe the results of experiments with a diversity of toxicants.

TL;DR: This is the first report for cryopreservation of C. levisecta, an important step in conserving and re-introducing this critically imperiled species in nature.
Abstract: In this study conservation of Castilleja levisecta Greenm., a globally endangered species was addressed through in vitro cryopreservation of shoot tips. In vitro cultures were successfully established using seedlings received from British Columbia, Canada. Shoot tips excised from in vitro propagated plants were cryopreserved using a droplet-vitrification method following optimization of individual protocol steps such as pre-culture, treatment with vitrification solutions, and unloading. The highest plant regrowth after cryopreservation (66%) was achieved when shoot tips were pre-cultured in 0.3 M sucrose for 17 h followed by 0.5 M sucrose for 4 h, incubated in an osmo-protectant solution (17.5% [v/v] glycerol and 17.5% [w/v] sucrose) for 20 min, exposed to vitrification solution A3 (37.5% [v/v] glycerol plus 15% [v/v] dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) plus 15% [v/v] ethylene glycol (EG) plus 22.5% [w/v] sucrose) on ice for 40 min, and unloaded in 0.8 M sucrose solution for 30 min. Healthy plants were developed from cryopreserved shoot tips and propagated in vitro using nodal segments. Plants derived from in vitro culture and from cryopreserved tissues were successfully rooted and acclimated in a greenhouse with 100% survival rate. Acclimatized plants were reintroduced in a naturalized propagation area at the Conservation Nursery at Fort Rodd Hill, Canada. Twenty of 94 reintroduced plants (21%) survived the transit from lab to field and some had started to flower. This is the first report for cryopreservation of C. levisecta, an important step in conserving and re-introducing this critically imperiled species in nature.
