The aggregate analysis of logistics cost and total factor productivity
… of logistics cost and total factor productivity (TFP). The paper discusses the theoretical aspect of TFP growth estimation and the concept of logistics cost as percentage of GDP as the factor indicating efficiency in logistics operations. Calculation of TFP from 1960-2001 is obtained by using …

A system dynamics model for total-factor productivity measurement of the manufacturing system: its implications for JIT
… and built to measure total-factor productivity (TFP) which represents a global performance measure of the manufacturing system. TFP captures the integrated, synergistic effect of the system variables and functions on global system performance. A major part of the research was devoted to building …

Misallocation and Productivity: Micro Evidence from Bangladesh
… allocations dependent on both individual TFPs and distortions and resulting in aggregate output and TFP losses. Using detailed household farm-level data from Bangladesh, I measure the observed gross TFP of Bangladesh's agriculture. I find that capital and intermediate inputs are …

Investigating the Roles of the Stk Locus in Development, Motility and Exopolysaccharide Production in Myxococcus Xanthus
… a developmental cycle, displays a type IV pili (TFP) mediated surface motility known as social (S) gliding. Beside the polarly localized TFP, the fibril or extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) is also required for S-motility to function. It is proposed that S-motility, along with the related …

Localization of Type IV Pilin Polymerization Proteins in Clostridium perfringens
… which has gliding motility through type IV Pili (TFP). Since the discovery of TFP in Gram-positive bacteria is relatively new, more studies are required to understand the mechanism and interaction of the proteins of this machinery. Moreover, the similarities between TFP and type 2 secretion system …

Regulation of Exopolysaccharide Production in Myxococcus Xanthus
… retraction of polarly localized type IV pili (Tfp). Besides Tfp, exopolysaccharides (EPS), another cell surface associated component, are also required for M. xanthus S motility. Previous studies demonstrated that the Dif chemotaxis-like signal transduction pathway is central to the regulation …
