Holistic Parameteric Reconstruction of Building Models from Point Clouds

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zhixin Li, Zhixin Li, , , | Summary: Building models are conventionally reconstructed by building roof points planar segmentation and then using a topology graph to group the planes together. Roof edges and vertices are then mathematically represented by intersecting segmented planes. Technically, such solution is based […]

Global inducing point variational posteriors for Bayesian neural networks and deep Gaussian processes

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher Ober| First 5 Authors: Sebastian W. Ober, Sebastian W. Ober, , , | Summary:We consider the optimal approximate posterior over the top-layer weights in a Bayesian neural network for regression, and show that it exhibits strong dependencies on the lower-layer weights. We adapt this result to develop a correlated approximate posterior over […]

Orbital Modulation of Gamma Rays from PSR~J2339$-$0533

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Hongjun An, Roger W. Romani, Matthew Kerr, , | Summary: We report on orbital modulation of the 100-600 MeV gamma-ray emission of the $P_{rm B}=4.6$ hr millisecond pulsar binary PSR J2339$-$0533 using 11 yr of Fermi Large Area Telescope data. The modulation has high significance (chance […]

Dynamics of an inverted cantilever plate at moderate angle of attack

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Cecilia Huertas-Cerdeira, Andres Goza, John E. Sader, Tim Colonius, Morteza Gharib | Summary: The dynamics of a cantilever plate clamped at its trailing edge and placed at a moderate angle ($alpha leq 30^{circ}$) to a uniform flow are investigated experimentally and numerically, and a large experimental data […]

TESS Data for Asteroseismology: Timing verification

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Morgan | Summary:The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is NASA’s latest space telescope dedicated to the discovery of transiting exoplanets around nearby stars. Besides the main goal of the mission, asteroseismology is an important secondary goal and very relevant for the high-quality time series that TESS will make during its two year […]

Muons in supernovae: implications for the axion-muon coupling

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Robert Bollig, William DeRocco, Peter W. Graham, Hans-Thomas Janka, | Summary: The high temperature and electron degeneracy attained during a supernova allow for the formation of a large muon abundance within the core of the resulting proto-neutron star. If new pseudoscalar degrees of freedom have large […]

Spectral and spatial isolation of single WSe$_2$ quantum emitters using hexagonal boron nitride wrinkles

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory D. Fuchs | First 5 Authors: RaphaĆ«l S. Daveau, Tom Vandekerckhove, Arunabh Mukherjee, Zefang Wang, Jie Shan | Summary: Monolayer WSe$_2$ hosts bright single-photon emitters. Because of its compliance, monolayer WSe$_2$ conforms to patterned substrates without breaking, thus creating the potential for large local strain, which is one activation mechanism of its […]

Nanoscale Strain Engineering of Giant Pseudo-Magnetic Fields, Valley Polarization and Topological Channels in Graphene

Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh |Summary:The existence of nontrivial Berry phases associated with two inequivalent valleys in graphene provides interesting opportunities for investigating the valley-projected topological states. Examples of such studies include observation of anomalous quantum Hall effect in monolayer graphene, demonstration of topological zero modes in molecular graphene assembled by scanning tunneling microscopy, and […]
