The current status of galaxy formation [PDF]
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012 Understanding galaxy formation is one of the most pressing issues in cosmology. We review the current status of galaxy formation from both an observational and a theoretical perspective, and summarise the prospects for future advances.

Schrödinger's Doctrine of Identity: On the Role of Advaita Vedānta in Erwin Schrödinger's Thought
Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.Ever since Erwin Schrödinger learned about Indian thought through Arthur Schopenhauer, it occupied a visible role in both his published writings and personal books. Schrödinger called for a “blood transfusion” of Indian thought into the West and, in one notebook, construed the Upaniṣadic slogan “Brahman = Atman” as the “closest thing to the truth ...

MOLECULAR GAS AND STAR FORMATION IN NEARBY DISK GALAXIES [PDF]
, 2013 We compare molecular gas traced by 12CO (2–1) maps from the HERACLES survey, with tracers of the recent star formation rate (SFR) across 30 nearby disk galaxies.

Characterization of the Cubamyces Menziesii Terpenome
ChemBioChem, EarlyView.The genome of Cubamyces menziesii reveals 18 putative sesquiterpene cyclase genes. These genes are cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, yielding 10 active enzymes. Using farnesyl diphosphate as substrate, the enzymes are analyzed, and the products characterized after bioconversion, uncovering diverse sesquiterpene structures. This study highlights

A Fundamental Relation between Supermassive Black Holes and Their Host Galaxies [PDF]
, 2000 The masses of supermassive black holes correlate almost perfectly with the velocity dispersions of their host bulges, Mbh ∝ σα, where α = 4.8 ± 0.5. The relation is much tighter than the relation between Mbh and bulge luminosity, with a scatter no larger

A LAW FOR STAR FORMATION IN GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 We study the galactic-scale triggering of star formation. We find that the largest mass-scale not stabilized by rotation, a well defined quantity in a rotating system and with clear dynamical meaning, strongly correlates with the star formation rate in a wide range of galaxies.

ChemCatChem, EarlyView.An enzyme that has been identified and characterized as capable of hydrolyzing paclitaxel (Taxol), a key anticancer drug derived from Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia) has been identified. Molecular docking (MD) simulations map the catalytic triad and critical residues that drive substrate‐enzyme interactions. The findings indicate the catalytic potential

GAS REGULATION OF GALAXIES: THE EVOLUTION OF THE COSMIC SPECIFIC STAR FORMATION RATE, THE METALLICITY–MASS–STAR-FORMATION RATE RELATION, AND THE STELLAR CONTENT OF HALOS [PDF]
, 2013 A very simple physical model of galaxies is one in which the formation of stars is instantaneously regulated by the mass of gas in a reservoir with mass loss scaling with the star-formation rate (SFR). This model links together three different aspects of
