One of the best parts of working on exhibitions drawn from the ZMA’s extensive permanent collection is the opportunity it provides for a look at some of the hidden gems at the museum. During the preparation of Sketching American Modernism‚ I discovered a painting that captured my interest. The work was the Portrait of Mrs. Helen McCoy Storer‚ c. 1910 by Charles Alden Gray (1857-1933). While arguably not by one of the most well-known artists in our collection‚ it was‚ at that moment‚ the most intriguing

leukodystrophy. According to American Journal of Neuroradiology (2002)‚ leukodystrophy is a progressive disease of myelin sheath in which a genetically determined metabolic defect results in confluent destruction‚ or failed development‚ of central white matter. Most leukodystrophies are autosomal recessive or X-linked recessive with onset in early childhood. Dominantly inherited leukodystrophies with onset in adulthood are rare (http://www.ajnr.org/content/27/4/904.full#xref-ref-1-1). Furthermore the

dark matter in galaxies and in the Universe? Since early 1930s physicists attempted to understand and solve the “missing mass problem” in the galaxy and universe. This missing mass problem has spurred on astronomers and particle physicists on a quest to gain greater understanding of the universe. One of the key postulations to solve this missing mass problem is dark matter. Scientist has continually conducted experiments attempting to provide evidence for the existence of dark matter in the

What Is Physics and What Are Its Uses? Physics‚ a branch of science‚ is traditionally defined as the study of matter‚ energy‚ and the relation between them. The interaction between matter and energy is found everywhere. In order for matter to move‚ it requires some form of energy. Sports show many good examples of the relationship between matter and energy. For instance‚ a pitcher requires energy to throw a baseball at the incredible speed and accuracy that is needed to keep the batter from

These points include inflation‚ dark matter and dark energy‚ the cosmic microwave background (CMB)‚ and red shift. The theory states that the universe sprung from a singularity an infinitely dense point. A process called inflation took over from there‚ and all the matter expanded exponentially from one very small point to something the size of a basketball in a fraction of a second. Inflation is very
