This paper reports the composition and horizontal distribution of an earthworm community at El Molar (Madrid), and the underlying causes of its distribution. Five species of earthworms were found. The most abundant species were Hormogaster elisae, Allolobophora rosea and Allolobophora caliginosa trapezoides, which showed an aggregate-type distribution. Coarse sand, organic matter and nitrogen a...

One hundred and twenty-six cases of pityriasis rosea seen over two years in north Staffordshire were analysed for clustering in time and space. A statistically significant degree of clustering was found; this was evident among female patients considered separately but not among male patients. The incidence of the condition was higher in patients working in, or attending, educational establishme...

Microtubules (MTs) are key components of the cytoskeleton for all eukaryotes and are vital for cellular processes such as mitotic spindle formation, intracellular transport, vesicle formation, cellular signaling, and migration. These functions depend on the dynamic nature of MTs, which arises from the polymerization and depolymerization events of individual heterodimers, made up of αand β-tubul...
