Cell Migration01:09

Cell Migration

17.0K
Cell migration, the process by which cells move from one location to another, is essential for the proper development and viability of organisms throughout their life. When cells are not able to migrate properly to their ordained locations, various disorders may occur. For example, disruption in cell migration causes chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

Cytoskeletal Coordination in Cell Migration01:32

Cytoskeletal Coordination in Cell Migration

4.8K
A migrating cell changes its shape during the cyclic events of attachment and detachment from the substratum and repositions the cell organelles correspondingly. These complex events are orchestrated by the dynamic cytoskeletal network comprising actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Cytoskeletal crosstalk — the direct and indirect communication between the different components — is crucial for this coordination. Direct communication involves various linker...

Introduction to Joints

3.0K
The adult human body usually has 206 bones, and except for the hyoid bone in the neck, each bone is connected to at least one other bone. Joints are the location where bones come together. Many joints allow for movement between the bones. At these joints, the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones can move smoothly against each other. However, the bones of other joints may be joined by connective tissue or cartilage. These joints are designed for stability and provide little or no...

Movement Joints in Buildings

117
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Planar Rigid-Body Motion

446
Understanding the movement of a rigid body in planar motion involves recognizing that every particle within this body is traversing a path that maintains a consistent distance from a specific plane. This concept is fundamental in the study of physics and mechanical engineering, and it allows us to comprehend better how objects move in space.
Planar motion is typically divided into three distinct categories. The first is rectilinear translation, demonstrated by a subway train that moves along...

Microtubules in Cell Motility01:24

Microtubules in Cell Motility

3.3K
Microtubules are thick hollow cylindrical proteins that help form the cytoskeleton. Microtubules have varied roles in the cell. These filaments help form cellular appendages like cilia and flagella, which are responsible for locomotion. The cilia arise from basal bodies, separated from the main body by a membrane-like structure forming the transition zone. This zone is the gate for the entry of lipids and proteins, creating a unique composition of lipids and proteins in the ciliary membrane and...

Area of Science:

  • Urban planning
  • Transportation science
  • Environmental studies

Background:

  • Urban car use contributes to pollution, noise, and space constraints.
  • Identifying factors influencing modal choices across diverse regions is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To model urban transport modal share using Active mobility (A), Public Transport (B), and Cars (C) as an ABC triplet.
  • To investigate the relationship between city size, income, and car usage patterns globally.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from approximately 800 cities across 61 countries.
  • Development of a model to express modal share as an ABC triplet.
  • Statistical analysis of car use against city size and income.

Main Results:

  • Larger cities with longer distances and congestion show less Active mobility and car use, but increased Public Transport.
  • Higher income strongly correlates with increased car usage; doubling income leads to a 37% rise in car journeys.
  • Significant regional variations exist: Asia favors Public Transport, North America/Oceania rely heavily on Cars, and Europe shows diverse modal shares.

Conclusions:

  • City size and income are key determinants of urban transport modal share.
  • Regional context significantly moderates the relationship between socioeconomic factors and transport choices.
  • Understanding these dynamics is crucial for sustainable urban mobility planning and policy.
