    Push and pull factors in migration according to Everett S. Lee (1917-2007) are categories that demographers use to analyze human migration from former areas to new host locations. Lee's model divides factors causing migrations into two groups of factors: push and pull.

  4. Sex selection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_selection

    As the sperms enter the human serum albumin, the differences in mass between the X and Y chromosomes manifest as the lighter male sperms push deeper into the protein than the females dragged down by the weight of the extra "leg" of the X sex chromosome. [20] This tiny difference creates separate layers of concentrated male and female sperm.

  5. Push–pull agricultural pest management - Wikipedia

    Push-pull technology has also been more widely seen as culturally acceptable and congruent because of the way it provides traditional roles for men and women in the agriculture work. [15] Because push-pull technology can fit within existing family frameworks, the practice does not demand an overhaul of existing dynamics. [15]

  6. Biomechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomechanics

    Page of one of the first works of Biomechanics (De Motu Animalium of Giovanni Alfonso Borelli) in the 17th centuryBiomechanics is the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell organelles, [1] using the methods of mechanics.

  7. Stress (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(biology)

    Environmental factors, internal or external stimuli, continually disrupt homeostasis; an organism's present condition is a state of constant flux moving about a homeostatic point that is that organism's optimal condition for living. [27] Factors causing an organism's condition to diverge too far from homeostasis can be experienced as stress.

  8. Bacterial initiation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_initiation_factor

    The IF2 initiation factor is a crucial component in the process of protein synthesis. The largest among the three indispensable translation initiation factors is IF-2, which possesses a molecular mass of 97 kDa. [17] [18] The protein has many domains, including an N-terminal domain, a GTPase domain, a linker region, C1, C2, and C-terminal domains.

  9. Biological dispersal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_dispersal

    Epilobium hirsutum — Seed head. In the broadest sense, dispersal occurs when the fitness benefits of moving outweigh the costs. There are a number of benefits to dispersal such as locating new resources, escaping unfavorable conditions, avoiding competing with siblings, and avoiding breeding with closely related individuals which could lead to inbreeding depression.
