Risk sharing and internal migration KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
Over the past two decades, more than half the population in our sample of rural Tanzanians has migrated out of their home-communities. We hypothesize that this powerful current of internal migrants is changing the nature of traditional institutions such as informal risk sharing. Mass internal migration has created geographically disperse networks, on which we collected detailed panel data. By quantifying how shocks and consumption co-vary across ...
Internal migration and ethnic division Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven
Starting from the observation that Brazilian history has led to the development of a very distinct system of race relations, this paper focuses on the (re)creation of ethnic divisions in a new city, Palmas, the capital of the Brazilian state Tocantins. Because the city was only founded in 1990, internal migration has heavily influenced the composition of the citys population. The research shows that residential proximity and interaction between ...

Ligand migration through the internal hydrophobic cavities in human neuroglobin Universiteit Antwerpen
Neuroglobin (Ngb), a member of the globin superfamily, was found in the brain of vertebrates and is suggested to play a neuroprotective function under hypoxic conditions by scavenging nitrogen monoxide (NO) through a dioxygenase activity. In order for such a reaction to efficiently take place and to minimize the release of reactive intermediates in the cytosol, the cosubstrates O2 and NO and other unstable reaction intermediates should bind ...
The external impact of the EU immigration policy: a study of migration policy in the relations between the EU and Albania Universiteit Gent
Enceladus's internal ocean and ice shell constrained from Cassini gravity, shape, and libration data KU Leuven
©2016. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. The intense plume activity at the South Pole of Enceladus together with the recent detection of libration hints at an internal water ocean underneath the outer ice shell. However, the interpretation of gravity, shape, and libration data leads to contradicting results regarding the depth of ocean/ice interface and the total volume of the ocean. Here we develop an interior structure model ...
