The Mystery of the So Called “Trilobite Larvae” or “Perty'S Larvae” Definitely Solved

The So-Called Mystery Disease of Calcutta (Jhin-Jhinia or Thartharia)

any case himself, but he gave a description of what he had heard and asked for instructions in the matter. About the middle of November 1935, a field party was sent by the senior author to this place to carry out a preliminary investigation. Information collected showed that the ' disease' started suddenly in the latter part of September 1935 at Bolbule and Katakhali villages on the right bank ...

Mystery solved

Mutant mice lacking the integrin alpha8 subunit exhibit variable defects in kidney development with most mutants missing both kidneys. Several lines of evidence indicate that the known extracellular matrix ligands for integrin alpha8beta1 are either dispensable for or not involved in alpha8beta1 signaling during kidney development. This suggests the presence of an unknown ligand. A novel alpha8...

Pain: one mystery solved.

Detection of Paenibacillus larvae larvae spores in honey and diseased larvae Samples by culture and PCR

American foulbrood (AFB) is the most serious brood disease of the honey bee. Traditional methods are reliable but rather slow simply because they are based on biochemical, morphological and physiological identification of cultivated isolates. The aim of this study is the detection of Paenibacillus larvae larvae spores in honey and diseased larvae samples by culture and PCR. Therefore 54 samp...

The magic angle: a solved mystery.

We resolve the long-standing mysterious discrepancy between the experimental magic angle in EELS--approximately 2theta(E)--and the quantum mechanical prediction of approximately 4theta(E). A relativistic approach surpassing the usually applied kinematic correction yields a magic angle close to the experimental value. The reason is that the relativistic correction of the inelastic scattering cro...
