 | | Growth rate : The number of persons added to (or subtracted from) a population in a year due to natural increase and net migration; expressed as a percentage of the population at the beginning of the time period. | | | Growth rates of 1.9 percent and higher mean that populations would double in about 36 years, if these rates continue. | | | Even today, the total world rice production would not be enough to meet the amount required for the final square of the chessboard. |

| | It is noteworthy that the period of declining growth rates covers the trends of development in the state during the period of implementation of the Washington Consensus-inspired reform process by the Chandrababu Naidu government. | | | The slow down in industrial growth in the post-liberalisation period is accounted by the deceleration in the growth of registered manufacturing sector. | | | A STUDY on development in Andhra Pradesh under economic reforms has confirmed that growth rates in various sectors were lower in the 1990s compared to the growth rates achieved in the 1980s, the all India growth rates and those of fast growing states. |

| | Growth rates of Gull- billed Terns in these Virginia colonies seem to be low relative to those of six other North American tern species from other geographic areas. | | | These findings suggest that growth rates of young Gull-billed Terns, as well as other reproductive parameters, need to be examined in detail in other coastal areas such as Texas, where the species is more abundant, to determine whether our growth results are species- or region-specific. | | | Because of concerns about apparent population declines and low productivity of Gull-billed Terns (Sterna nilotica) along the coast of Virginia, we investigated whether food limitations may result in retarded growth rates of young. |
