Why we need the concept of land-grab-induced displacement [PDF]
, 2014 This paper challenges the traditional threefold classification of forced migration, and proposes a new concept: land-grab-induced displacement. The concept sheds light on issues that are shrouded by the conventional typology.

Nonlinear hybrid-mode resonant forced oscillations of sagged inclined cables at avoidances [PDF]
, 2007 We investigate non-linear forced oscillations of sagged inclined cables under planar 1:1 internal resonance at avoidance. To account for frequency avoidance phenomena and associated hybrid modes actually distinguishing inclined cables from horizontal ...

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Quantification of surface displacements and electromechanical phenomena via dynamic atomic force microscopy [PDF]
, 2016 Detection of dynamic surface displacements associated with local changes in material strain provides access to a number of phenomena and material properties. Contact resonance-enhanced methods of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) have been shown capable of detecting ~1-3 pm-level surface displacements, an approach used in techniques such as piezoresponse ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Second-order effects of the magnetic vector potential in the Aharonov-Bohm experiment [PDF]
, 2019 Recent experiments with the Aharonov-Bohm geometry have shown that, in addition to an electron-interference fringe shift, there is also a lateral displacement of the electron diffraction envelope. In this paper, we derive a displacement force based on a second-order expansion of the magnetic vector potential.

Avalanches and force drops in displacement-driven compression of porous glasses [PDF]
Physical Review E, 94 033005 (2016), 2016 Similarities between force-driven compression experiments of porous materials and earthquakes have been recently proposed. In this manuscript, we measure the acoustic emission during displacement-driven compression of a porous glass. The energy of acoustic-emission events shows that the failure process exhibits avalanche scale-invariance and therefore ...

The Economics of Forced Displacement: An Introduction [PDF]
, 2017 Forced displacement -- defined as the displacement of refugees and internally displaced persons due to violence -- has reached an unprecedented scale and global attention during the past few years, particularly in the aftermath of the Syrian refugee crisis in 2011 and the European Union's migration crisis in 2015.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Transient receptor potential melastatin‐4 (TRPM4) is overexpressed in prostate cancer (PCa). Knockout of TRPM4 resulted in reduced PCa tumor spheroid size and decreased PCa tumor spheroid outgrowth. In addition, lack of TRPM4 increased cell death in PCa tumor spheroids.
