[Migration, climate and health]
24 Oct 2009 
Many tentative connections have been postulated between migration and climate. This article points to rural-urban migration, particularly into low elevation urban slums prone to flooding as an issue needing urgent attention by health professionals. ... Read more...
Comparison of physician workforce estimates and supply projections.
19 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Estimates of physician supply in the United States have been based on data that may overestimate the number of older physicians in the workforce. OBJECTIVE: To compare physician workforce estimates and supply projections using the American ... Read more...
Cooperative social clusters are not destroyed by dispersal in a ciliate.
12 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The evolution of social cooperation is favored by aggregative behavior to facilitate stable social structure and proximity among kin. High dispersal rates reduce group stability and kin cohesion, so it is generally assumed that there is ... Read more...
