Two new species of Enclisis Townes, 1970 from Spain are described and illustrated: E. dichroma sp. n. and E. schwarzi sp. n. The new species are distinguished from the closest species E. infernator and E. ornaticeps by head and leg…

Although it is reasonable to expect that the frequency of a generic dipeptide XY in proteins is the same of its counterpart YX, on the basis of an accurate statistical analysis of a large number of protein sequences, it appears…

The development of new high-throughput sequencing technologies has increased dramatically the number of successful genomic projects. Thus, draft genomic sequences of more than 60 plant species are currently available. Suitable bioinformatics tools are being developed to assemble, annotate and analyze…

Delirium is a common manifestation of acute, reversible, brain dysfunction in critically ill patients. It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). Detection and prevention of risk factors for delirium is critical. Daily assessment…
