Matter—the visible kind, that is—interacts with the universe in many ways. It absorbs and, in many cases, emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays, visible light, infrared, and more. It can generate magnetic fields of various sorts and strengths. Matter has mass, creating...
Researchers can also detect dark matter indirectly through specific signatures in cosmic rays and gamma rays. Scientists search for these signatures using space-based and ground-based observatories. Researchers are also trying to create dark matter with particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Co...
NANOCLUSTERING/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/Science Photo Library/GettyImages Alpha, beta, gamma rays: It almost sounds like the tagline of an old-school motion picture about aliens from outer space, newly arrived on Earth with their ultra-high-tech gadgets (and hopefully a warm disposition). In real...
More than 10 members of human PI-PLC isoforms have been identified and classified into three classes beta, gamma, and delta, which are regulated by distinct mechanisms. Here we report identification of a novel class of human PI-PLC, named PLCepsilon, which is characterized by the presence of...
In 2014, NASA'sFermi Gamma-ray Space Telescopemade maps of the heart of our galaxy, theMilky Way, in gamma-ray light, revealing an excess of gamma-ray emissions extending from its core. "The signal we found cannot be explained by currently proposed alternatives and is in close agreement wi...
Encoding the virus's make-up is the longest genome of any RNA-based virus – a single strand of nucleic acid roughly 26,000 to 32,000 bases long. There are four known genuses in the family, named Alphacoronavirus, Betacoronavirus, Gammacoronavirus, and Deltacoronavirus. The first two only...
The paper is concerned with several kinds of stochastic frontier models whose likelihood function is not available in closed form. First, with output-oriented stochastic frontier models whose one-sided errors have a distribution other than the standard ones (exponential or half-normal). The gamma an...
W.J. Freeman, who has been the principal investigator of pyriform gamma waves in unanesthetized animals, at first concluded that “during anticipation the amplitude of prepyriform electrical activity is in general related to the input to the nervous system, whereas during action it is related to...
In modern analysis, asymptotic notation is the preferred device to organize orders of infinity. There are a couple of flavors of this notation, but here is one such (a blend of Hardy’s notation and Landau’s notation). Formally, we need a parameter space equipped with a non-principal filt...
Finally, we present the promises and challenges that arise when seeking to incorporate microbiome data in dietary planning and portray the anticipated revolution that the field of nutrition is facing upon adopting these novel concepts. Key points Common multifactorial diseases in both industrialized and ...
