Why Do AGN Lighthouses Switch Off?
Nearby galactic nuclei are observed to be very much dimmer than active galactic nuclei in distant galaxies. The Chandra X-ray Observatory has provided a definitive explanation for why this is so. With its excellent angular resolution, Chandra has imaged hot X-ray-emitting gas close to the gravitational capture radius of a handful of supermassive black holes, including Sgr A∗ in the nucleus of o...
متن کاملGenetic Switch Underlies C. albicans Quick Change Act
In the fungus world, just as in the business one, the key to success is flexibility. A fungus that can adapt and change to its environment is positioned to leap into new opportunities ahead of the competition. If this is true, then Candida albicans is the Starbucks of fungi. C. albicans is a small, mobile fungus present in all of us, usually in the gastrointestinal tract or the mucus membrane. ...
متن کاملCandida albicans versus Candida dubliniensis: Why Is C. albicans More Pathogenic?
Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are highly related pathogenic yeast species. However, C. albicans is far more prevalent in human infection and has been shown to be more pathogenic in a wide range of infection models. Comparison of the genomes of the two species has revealed that they are very similar although there are some significant differences, largely due to the expansion of viru...
متن کاملWhy do firms switch banks? Evidence from China
This paper uses a sample of matched data of firms-banks in China over the period 1999-2012 to determine the drivers of firms switching behaviour from one bank relationship to another. The findings conform to the extant literature and therefore indicate that the switching behaviour of Chinese firms is no different to firms elsewhere. The results show that the principal driver of a switching acti...
متن کاملPhenotypic switch: The enigmatic white-gray-opaque transition system of Candida albicans
Candida albicans represents the most common commensal and opportunistic fungal pathogen colonizing humans. As a member of the normal microflora, it is present on the skin and the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract and female genital tracts. It is therefore not transmitted. It lies in wait for a change in some aspect of the host physiology that normally suppr...
