NIGHTTIME LIGHTS AND POPULATION MIGRATION: REVISITING CLASSIC DEMOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVES WITH AN ANALYSIS OF RECENT EUROPEAN DATA

Nighttime Lights and Population Migration: Revisiting Classic Demographic Perspectives with an Analysis of Recent European Data

This study examines whether the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) nighttime lights can be used to predict population migration in small areas in European Union (EU) countries.The analysis uses the most current data measured at the smallest administrative unit in 18 EU countries provided by the European Commission.The ordinary least

Off-label use of a carotid filter to solve an unexpected complication at the active fixation of Endoanchors during EVAR

There are few reported intraoperative complications of endoanchors during endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm (EVAR), and no cases of endoanchors fracture are described.In this case we report an unusual complication and a lucky try of bail-out.A 76 years old male affected by a 55 mm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with tortuous proximal nec

Genome-wide analysis of Dof transcription factors and their response to cold stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Abstract Background Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a food crop for humans worldwide.However, temperature has an effect during the vegetative and reproductive stages.In high-latitude regions where rice is cultivated, cold stress is a major cause of yield loss and plant death.Research has identified a group of plant-specific transcription factors, DNA bin

Alterations in germinal center formation and B cell activation during severe Orientia tsutsugamushi infection in mice.

Scrub typhus is a poorly studied but life-threatening disease caused by the intracellular bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi (Ot).Cellular and humoral immunity in Ot-infected patients is not long-lasting, waning as early as one-year post-infection; however, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.To date, no studies have examined germinal center (GC
