UNLABELLED The anamorphic genus Phoma was subdivided into nine sections based on morphological characters, and included teleomorphs in Didymella, Leptosphaeria, Pleospora and Mycosphaerella, suggesting the polyphyly of the genus. Recent molecular, phylogenetic studies led to the conclusion that Phoma should be restricted to Didymellaceae. The present study focuses on the taxonomy of excluded Ph...

Neurons are highly polarized cells with a single axon and multiple dendrites derived from the cell body to form tightly associated pre- postsynaptic compartments. As biosynthetic machinery is largely restricted somatodendritic domain, vast majority of presynaptic components synthesized in neuronal soma, packaged into synaptic precursor vesicles, actively transported along sites biogenesis. In c...

Background: The impact factors of scientific journals are interesting but not unproblematic. It is speculated that the number of journals in which citations can be made correlates with the impact factors in any given speciality. Methods: Using the Journal Citation Report (JCR) for 1997, a bibliometric analysis was made to assess the correlation between the number of journals available in differ...

This paper examines whether the structure of metropolitan housing markets will impede metropolitan policies to improve the greenhouse gas performance and reduce transport energy dependence. With climate change and higher transport energy prices becoming pressing policy issues increasing attention is being directed to the capacity of metropolitan planning to overcome these challenges. For the pa...

Background: Compensation of brain injury in multiple sclerosis (MS) may in part work through mechanisms involving neuronal plasticity on local and interregional scales. Mechanisms limiting excessive neuronal activity may have special significance for retention and (re-)acquisition of lost motor skills in brain injury. However, previous neurophysiological studies of plasticity in MS have investi...

Cage rearing of northern bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus thynnus) in the Adriatic Sea is a relatively novel branch of aquaculture, with scarce literature on fish pathologies. In this study, viscera and gills of 52 specimens of 13 kg tuna showed an interesting composition of digenean parasitofauna. Most abundant and prevalent were the members of the Didymozoidae family Coeliodidymocystis abdominal...
