An index for sustainable development

PSL Quarterly Review, 2004
As a possible improvement to the United Nations' Human Development Index (HDI), we propose including in the set of individual variables some of an environmental or social nature. Thus, by rescaling all the variables non-linearly it is possible to mitigate the effect of outliers and synthesize by principal components, or alternatively by a different ...

The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

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.

Riverine communities in the Central Amazon are largely subject to erosion and sedimentation risk

Communications Earth & Environment
Sedimentary processes cause large changes in riverscapes and alter river banks and margins, leading to major hazards for riverine communities. However, regional mapping of the resulting risk remains scarce, especially in remote Amazon regions.

Developing sustainable development [PDF]

WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2008
Ralf Brand and Andrew Karvonen (The ecosystem of expertise: complementary knowledges for sustainable development. Sustainability: Science, Practice and Policy, 3(1), pp 21–31, Spring 2007) suggest that sustainability poses challenges to the discourse of technical experts and that many existing models do not fit with traditional disciplinary boundaries.

Interaction vesicles as emerging mediators of host‐pathogen molecular crosstalk and their implications for infection dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...
