United States Military Retirement Migration: Patterns and Processes
… has a direct impact on population redistribution patterns. The rate and volume of the movement of military personnel and their dependents represents an important element in this redistribution. There is, however, an important additional population redistribution impact resulting more indirectly …

Ethnic migration patterns in South Africa: A case of Zimbabwean immigrants
… known about both the international and internal migration behaviour of this population group. This study reviews several migration theories, and existing evidence on Zimbabwean-born migration to South Africa and uses the 2011 Census and 2016 Community Survey data for South Africa to explore both …

"Building a comprehensive framework of African migration patterns: the case of migration between Senegal and Europe"
Migration theories, which guided prior research, have been predominantly based on static dichotomous categorizations. In particular most research has been guided by assumptions conceiving migration primarily as: 1) a one-off move from a departure country “A” to a destination country “B”; 2) …

Meaningful Migrations: Characteristics, Patterns and Outcomes : The case of Teotitecos of Oaxaca, Mexico
This thesis focuses on the migration of an indigenous Zapotec group from the town of Teotitlán del Valle, located in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The characteristics and patterns of Teotiteco migration are described and analysed. Furthermore, the possibility of migration transformations is …

A Mathematical-Experimental Strategy to Decode the Complex Molecular Basis for Neutrophil Migratory Decision-Making
… antimicrobial response as well as dysfunctional migration patterns. This behavior has been seen in patients with sepsis, where a person's immune system overreacts to an infection, leading to systemic inflammation throughout the body, causing tissue damage, multiple organ failure, and in many …

Multiple roles for Robo1/2 repellent receptors in guiding the facial nucleus and nerve
… the cell bodies and the axons undergo specific migration patterns to assemble central neuron patterns and peripheral nerve projections to target muscles. Our goal in this study was to define the molecular signals by which the facial cell bodies and their axons correctly make this long journey. …

The Potential of Coelomocyte Chemotaxis as an Immune Biomarker in the Earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris
Coelomocyte migration responses, both random and chemotatic, were examined in the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris. Coelomocyte random migration patterns towards non-stimulatory, non-chemotatic solutions were described. Migration responses to immunostimulatory agents lipopolysaccharides (LPS), …

Investigation of Neutrophil-Like HL-60 Cell Migration in a 3D Collagen Matrix
<p>It is known that cell migration in innate and adaptive immune system plays a fundamental role in human health. Among the immune cells, neutrophils are one of the most essential cells in protecting the body against invading pathogens. In the presence of chemoattractants, these cells are the first …
