This paper examines the relationship between household emigration and short-term crisis in a mid-19 century rural, Tuscan community. Based on a detailed reconstruction of individual and household life-histories, this study demonstrates the strong association between household emigration and different kinds of short-term stress, whether economic, epidemiologic, or household related. Despite some...

Pakistani doctors (MBBS) are emigrating towards developed countries for professional adjustments. This study aims to highlight causes and consequences of doctors’ brain drain from Pakistan. Primary data was collected from Mayo Hospital, Lahore by interviewing doctors (n=100) through systematic random sampling technique. It found that various socio-economic and political conditions are working a...

A model of the spatial emergence of an interstellar civilization into a uniform distribution of habitable systems is presented. The process of emigration is modelled as a three-dimensional probabilistic cellular automaton. An algorithm is presented which defines both the daughter colonies of the original seed vertex and all subsequent connected vertices, and the probability of a connection betw...

HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) decrease atherosclerosis by lowering low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol. Statins are also thought to have additional anti-atherogenic properties, yet defining these non-conventional modes of statin action remains incomplete. We have previously developed a novel mouse transplant model of atherosclerosis regression in which aortic segments from diseased don...

It has been proposed that, in higher vertebrates, the onset of neural crest cell migration from the neural tube involves spatially and temporally coordinated changes in cellular adhesiveness that are under the control of external signals released in the extracellular milieu by neighboring tissues. In the present study, we have analyzed the dynamics of changes in cell-substratum adhesiveness dur...

Neural crest cells originate in the dorsal neural tube but subsequently undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), delaminate, and migrate to diverse locations in the embryo where they contribute to a variety of derivatives. Cadherins are a family of cell-cell adhesion molecules expressed in a broad range of embryonic tissues, including the neural tube. In particular, cadherin6B (Ca...

Zeng, Min, Hong Zhang, Clifford Lowell, and Pingnian He. Tumor necrosis factor-induced leukocyte adhesion and microvessel permeability. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 283: H2420–H2430, 2002. First published August 8, 2002; 10.1152/ajpheart.00787.2001.—The objective of this study was to investigate whether leukocyte adhesion and/or emigration are critical steps in increased microvessel permeabi...

The Labor Market Effects of Immigration and Emigration in OECD Countries In this paper, we simulate the labor market effects of net immigration and emigration during the 1990’s in all OECD countries. To accomplish this, we are the first to employ a comprehensive database of migrant stocks, grouped by education level and country of origin/destination, for the years 1990 and 2000. Due to the much...

Italian Migration Italy is a country with a long history of emigration and a very short experience of immigration. The paper first surveys the Italian emigration pattern describing the characteristics of the Italian emigrants (age, sex, skill level), their area of origins and the directions of their movement. The determinants of the migration choice are then analyzed as well as the policies aff...
