TOP25 Hottest Articles. National Academy of Sciences. DEB - Funding - Assembling the Tree of Life. Genealogy of Life (GoLife) Solicitation 14-527 Full Proposal Deadline Date: March 25, 2015 Fourth Wednesday in March, Annually Thereafter Fourth Wednesday in March All of comparative biology depends on knowledge of the evolutionary relationships (phylogeny) of living and extinct organisms.
The ultimate vision of this program is an open access, universal Genealogy of Life that will provide the comparative framework necessary for testing questions in systematics, evolutionary biology, ecology, and other fields. Projects submitted to this program should emphasize increased efficiency in contributing to a complete Genealogy of Life and integration of various types of organismal data with phylogenies. This program also seeks to broadly train next generation, integrative phylogenetic biologists, creating the human resource infrastructure and workforce needed to tackle emerging research questions in comparative biology.
Systematics and Biodiversity Science Advances in Biological Informatics News. Virtual Library Of Medieval Manuscripts Created. Google "Edward the Confessor" and you'll get page after page of links to biographies of this 11th-century English king, to Westminster Abbey, which he founded and where he is buried, and to the Magna Carta, which was partly inspired by laws enacted during his 24-year reign.
But a completely digitized manuscript of the oldest surviving Anglo-Norman history of the king does not turn up — at least on the first 20 search pages — even though Cambridge University painstakingly scanned the sumptuously illustrated manuscript in 2003. That history, "The Life of King Edward the Confessor," probably written by a Benedictine monk named Matthew Paris sometime between 1250 and 1260, is not alone. Somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 rare and precious medieval manuscripts have been scanned over the past decade into formats that could be studied over the Internet if only scholars knew they existed and knew where to find them.

Happy Friday the 13th from Hubble! “A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises.
Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night.” -J. M. Barrie But off in space, a whopping 320 million light years away, lies the great Coma Cluster, the closest huge cluster of galaxies to us. Whereas our local group just has two large galaxies in it (our Milky Way and Andromeda), the Coma Cluster has over 1,000. But each of these thousand galaxies, should we choose to look at it in extraordinary detail, has its own, rich, and sometimes scary story. Enter the telescope. Of all the optical telescopes, only Hubble — from its vantage point in space — has the resolution and exposure time (28 hours!) Here it’s taken a look — at the highest resolution ever — at NGC 4911. Well, we have a nice looking face-on spiral galaxy here, that’s for sure. Okay, now we’re getting somewhere. 1.) 2.) What’s wrong?
Hercules A: Huge black hole emits two beams of matter into space. Black holes may be the most ironic objects in the Universe.
They are objects with gravity so fierce that if you venture too close, literally no force in the Universe can prevent you from falling in. Not even light can escape, which is why we call them what we do. Yet they also power the brightest objects in the Universe. As matter falls in, it forms a disk just outside the black hole that gets infernally hot, blasting out radiation bright enough that it can be seen across the Universe. Not only that, due to forces in the disk like friction and magnetism ramped up to mind-numbing intensities, this disk can focus and blast out two incredibly powerful beams of matter and energy which scream out into space, forming structures both vast and beautiful … like the ones seen in the galaxy Hercules A: Seriously, grab the embiggened version of that. And it’s hungry. Image credit: A. How’s your head? Describing this is getting difficult.
