    Occurrence, distribution and distinctive morphological traits of weedy Helianthus annuus L. populations in Spain and France

    We made a first descriptive study of weedy sunflowers infesting sunflower crop fields in one Spanish and three French regions. Overall, weedy sunflowers affected around 15% of sunflower fields. Infested fields...

    Microarray analysis of genes with impaired insulin regulation in the skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic patients indicates the involvement of basic helix-loop-helix domain-containing, class B, 2 protein (BHLHB2)

    One of the major processes by which insulin exerts its multiple biological actions is through gene expression regulation. Thus, the identification of transcription factors affected by insulin in target tissues...

    Long Range Correlations and Phase Transitions in Non-equilibrium Diffusive Systems

    We obtain explicit expressions for the long range correlations in the ABC model and in diffusive models conditioned to produce an atypical current of particles. In both cases, the two-point correlation functio...

    Thermodynamic Formalism for Systems with Markov Dynamics

    The thermodynamic formalism allows one to access the chaotic properties of equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium systems, by deriving those from a dynamical partition function. The definition that has been given ...
