For years, scientists have wondered how Yersinia pestis managed to do so with the, the bacterium having circulated among human populations for at least 5,000 years. Simply put: tolerant rat hosts ...

Research has revealed that the evolution of a single gene in Yersinia pestis - the bacterium that causes bubonic plague - allowed it to adapt and survive for so long. The study addresses key ...

Abstract: In this paper, a simple and effective image-magnification algorithm based on intervals is proposed. A low-resolution image is magnified to form a high-resolution image using a ...

In late 2014, four images of Supernova (SN) "Refsdal," the first known example of a strongly lensed SN with multiple resolved images, were detected in the MACS J1149 galaxy-cluster field. Following ...
