Microorganisms exist in the environment as multicellular communities that face the challenge
of surviving under nutrient-limited conditions. Chemical communication is an essential part …

Historically, appreciation for the roles of resource gradients in biology has fluctuated
inversely to the popularity of genetic mechanisms. Nevertheless, in microbiology specifically, …

We present a one per cent measurement of the cosmic distance scale from the detections of
the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon …

The Astropy Project supports and fosters the development of open-source and openly
developed Python packages that provide commonly needed functionality to the astronomical …

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) started a new phase in 2008 August, with new
instrumentation and new surveys focused on Galactic structure and chemical evolution, …

We present cosmological results from the final galaxy clustering data set of the Baryon
Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. Our combined galaxy …

The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is designed to measure the scale of
baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter over a larger volume than the …

Cells in assemblages differentiate and perform distinct roles. Though many pathways of
differentiation are understood at the molecular level in multicellular eukaryotes, the elucidation …

We present the first public version (v0.2) of the open-source and community-developed
Python package, Astropy. This package provides core astronomy-related functionality to the …

The Python programming language is a high-level, interpreted (as opposed to compiled)
programming language that has become an industry standard across many computational …
