Resolving the Mystery of the Fine Structure Constant

Resolving a zoological mystery: the kouprey is a real species.

The kouprey is a rare and enigmatic forest ox discovered by scientists in Cambodia only in 1937. Numerous morphological hypotheses have been proposed for the origin of the kouprey: that it is a species closely related to banteng and gaur, two other wild oxen of southeast Asia; a morphologically divergent species placed in a separate genus, named Novibos; a wild species linked to aurochs and dom...

Candida albicans proteinases: resolving the mystery of a gene family.

Fungal infections of mucosal surfaces are extremely common, debilitating and often recurring diseases, which are frequently caused by the yeast Candida albicans. Furthermore, in the severely immunocompromised host, C. albicans may also cause deepseated or even life-threatening systemic infections. In order to colonize, infect and evade host defence mechanisms, C. albicans possesses a repertoire...

Resolving the mystery of the dwarf galaxy HIZSS003

The nearby galaxy HIZSS003 was recently discovered during a blind HI survey of the zone of avoidance (Henning et al. 2000). Follow up VLA as well as optical and near-IR imaging and spectroscopy (Massey et al. 2003; Silva et al. 2005) confirm that it is a low metallicity dwarf irregular galaxy. However there were two puzzling aspects of the observations, (i) current star formation, as traced by ...

Resolving the Mystery of X-ray–faint Elliptical Galaxies: Chandra X-ray Observations of Ngc 4697

Chandra observations of the X-ray–faint elliptical galaxy NGC 4697 resolve much of the X-ray emission (61% within one effective radius) into ∼80 point sources, of which most are low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). These LMXBs provide the bulk of the hard emission and much of the soft emission as well. Of the remaining unresolved emission, it is likely that about half is from fainter LMXBs, while t...
