Scientific paper

Simple numerical considerations show that growth via minor mergers can
be important only for the most massive galaxy disks, and limits to this
process can estimated starting from major-merger rates. A relation is
suggested between the lifetime of dust entering a disk during such
events and the subsequent star-forming history.
