Collective migration is a complex process that contributes to build precise tissue and organ architecture. Several molecules implicated in cell interactions also control collective migration, but their precise role and the finely tuned expression that orchestrates this complex developmental process are poorly understood. Here, we show that the timely and threshold expression of the Netrin recep...

collective behavior is regarded as one of the main issues in contemporary political sociology, a social phenomenon that has long challenged political systems. the purpose of this paper is to study the factors affecting the tendency of the students of shiraz toward collective behavior. to explain collective behavior, we have used neil smelser’s theoretical framework and from the structural-funct...

We study the construction of the collective-coordinate manifold in the baryon number two sector of the Skyrme model. To that end we use techniques of adiabatic large amplitude collective motion, which treat potential and kinetic energy on an equal footing. In this paper the starting point is the Ansatz proposed by Atiyah and Manton (Phys. Lett. 438B, 222 (1989)), which allows a study of the dyn...
