The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement: a new instrument for international organisations and NGOs [PDF]

open access: yesForced Migration Review, 1998
International organisations and NGOs have an important new document to turn to when they advocate on behalf of internally displaced populations: the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.

Gas-induced segregation in Pt-Rh alloy nanoparticles observed by in-situ Bragg coherent diffraction imaging

open access: yes, 2019
Bimetallic catalysts can undergo segregation or redistribution of the metals driven by oxidizing and reducing environments. Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI) was used to relate displacement fields to compositional distributions in crystalline Pt ...

Iron‐dependent lysosomal LDL oxidation induces the expression of scavenger receptor A in human THP‐1 monocytes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In human monocytic cells THP‐1, a limited uptake of native—not oxidized—LDL/VLDL induced expression of scavenger receptor A and cellular adhesion. Induction was inhibited by lysosomotropic (WR‐1065) and lipophilic (BHT) antioxidants and by siRNAs against ferritinophagy.

Spectral Properties of the Discrete Random Displacement Model [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
We investigate spectral properties of a discrete random displacement model, a Schr\"odinger operator on $\ell^2(\Z^d)$ with potential generated by randomly displacing finitely supported single-site terms from the points of a sublattice of $\Z^d$. In particular, we characterize the upper and lower edges of the almost sure spectrum. For a one-dimensional

Criminal violence and displacement in Mexico

open access: yesForced Migration Review, 2014
Rampant criminal violence, from direct coercion and physical threats to the erosion of the quality of life and livelihood opportunities, pushes people to move in a variety of ways. Not everyone forced to move has equal access to protection or asylum.

An approach for coherent periodogram averaging of tilt‐series data for improved contrast transfer function estimation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The contrast transfer function (CTF) is an imaging aberration that is a major resolution‐limiting factor in cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Precise CTF estimation is key to overcoming this limitation, but is particularly challenging in cryo‐electron tomography (cryo‐ET) data. Here, we present an approach for using geometric information to assist in

Analysis of Coupled Scalar Systems by Displacement Convexity [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Potential functionals have been introduced recently as an important tool for the analysis of coupled scalar systems (e.g. density evolution equations). In this contribution, we investigate interesting properties of this potential. Using the tool of displacement convexity, we show that, under mild assumptions on the system, the potential functional is ...

Improving Kenya’s response to internal displacement [PDF]

open access: yesForced Migration Review, 2008
Over 300,000 Kenyans were displaced by post-electionconflict between December 2007 and January 2008. Kenyaneeds a coherent policy and capacity building for addressinginternal displacement.

The role of circular RNAs in regulating cytokine signaling in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cytokines present in the tumor microenvironment fuel cancer development. Aberrant expression of circRNAs contributes to cancer progression. Cytokines are involved in regulating circRNA biogenesis. Furthermore, aberrantly expressed circRNAs regulate the expression of ligands, receptors, and downstream effectors involved in cytokine signaling to promote ...

Internal displacement and peacebuilding in Colombia [PDF]

open access: yesForced Migration Review, 2009
The advances in laws related to IDPs have not addressed the relationship between internal displacement and peacebuilding in Colombia.
