The cosmopolitan genus Carex L. represented about 1,800-2,000 species mainly in temperate and cold regions of the world. 49 species of Carex found in North-eastern India and 33 species in the rest part of India. Systematics of different taxa (subgenera, sections species pairs etc.) of the genus is quite complicated. In Carex, utricle morphology and fruit epidermal silicabodies have been used to...

Se gli studi collodiani hanno spesso guardato a Un romanzo in vapore (1856), primo esperimento narrativo del giovane Lorenzini, dal punto di vista per lo più strutturale e narratologico, il presente contributo studia l’opera linguistico, considerandola alla stregua un documento linguistico inedito. La mutata prospettiva permette descrivere la prima lingua dell’autore conseguentemente individuar...

Alpha-catenins play key functional roles in cadherin-catenin cell-cell adhesion complexes. We previously reported on alphaT-catenin, a novel member of the alpha-catenin protein family. alphaT-catenin is expressed predominantly in cardiomyocytes, where it colocalizes with alphaE-catenin at the intercalated discs. Whether alphaT- and alphaE-catenin have specific or synergistic functions remains u...

Chiefly thanks to the studies by Lester King and Karl Eduard Rothschuh, historians have been broadly informed about the iatromechanical system of Friedrich Hoffmann. More recently, Ingo W Muller has examined the influential Halle professor's main work Medicina rationalis systematica (1718-40), including its parts on therapeutics, in greater detail, critically comparing it with examples of modem...

We consider finite Galois extensions of Qp and deduce bounds on the discriminant of such an extension based on the structure of its Galois group. We then apply these bounds to show that there are no Galois extensions of Q, unramified outside of {2,∞}, whose Galois group is one of various finite simple groups. The set of excluded finite simple groups includes several infinite families. Understan...
