Remittances and Inequality: A Dynamic Migration Model We develop a model of the interdependencies between migration, remittances and inequality, and investigate how migration and subsequent remittances affect inter-household inequality in the origin communities. An important feature of our model is that we take into account the impact of migration on the local (rural) labor market. Migration is...

The migration section is the reflectivity distribution modulated by the discrete Green’s function for migration. For a poorly sampled trace distribution, the Green’s function introduces noise into the migration image that can obscure its interpretation. Using this migration Green’s function and assuming shift invariance, we propose an economical method to deconvolve the Green’s function from th...

Toddler/Apela/Elabela is a conserved secreted peptide that regulates mesendoderm development during zebrafish gastrulation. Two non-exclusive models have been proposed to explain Toddler function. The 'specification model' postulates that Toddler signaling enhances Nodal signaling to properly specify endoderm, whereas the 'migration model' posits that Toddler signaling regulates mesendodermal c...

This paper reviews the effect of natural disasters on human mobility or migration. Although there is an increase of natural disasters and migration recently and more patterns to observe, the relationship remains complex. While some authors find that disasters increase migration, others show that they have only a marginal or no effect or are even negative. Human mobility appears to be an insuran...

objective(s): the study aimed to investigate the effects of resveratrol on colorectal cancer hct116 cells, including cell viability, apoptosis, and migration, and the partial mechanisms focused on hedgehog/gli-1 signaling pathways. materials and methods: we chose the appropriate time and concentration of recombinant human sonic hedgehog (shh) stimulation by cell viability. the proportion of cel...

Evaluation of this noise attenuation technique on real data conclusively shows significant improvement in data coherency and a decrease in high frequency random noise with no noticeable migration effects or artifacts. The method seems especially useful in situations where migration produces artifacts, high frequency random noise is present or where techniques such as spectral balancing have lef...

Cell migration plays a crucial role in numerous cellular functions, and alterations in the regulation of cell migration are required for invasive transformation of a tumor cell. While the mechanistic process of actin-based migration has been well documented, little is known as to the specific function of the nonmuscle actin isoforms in mammalian cells. Here, we present a comprehensive examinati...

Gliomas are a type of brain tumor derived from glial cells, which outnumber neurons and support neuronal activity. Glioma cells have been extensively investigated to understand mechanisms by which they proliferate and migrate; glioma cells utilize ion channels found on the cell surface to shrink and facilitate easier migration; it is believed that successful glioma cell migration is dependent o...
