Kavli Affiliate: Paul Brink | Summary:The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search low ionization threshold experiment (CDMSlite) achieved efficient detection of very small recoil energies in its germanium target, resulting in sensitivity to Lightly Ionizing Particles (LIPs) in a previously unexplored region of charge, mass, and velocity parameter space. We report first direct-detection limits calculated using the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jiansheng Chen | First 5 Authors: Weitao Wan, Jiansheng Chen, Cheng Yu, Tong Wu, Yuanyi Zhong | Summary: The softmax cross-entropy loss function has been widely used to train deep models for various tasks. In this work, we propose a Gaussian mixture (GM) loss function for deep neural networks for visual classification. Unlike […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Farhad Pourpanah, Moloud Abdar, Yuxuan Luo, Xinlei Zhou, Ran Wang | Summary: Generalized zero-shot learning (GZSL) aims to train a model for classifying data samples under the condition that some output classes are unknown during supervised learning. To address this challenging task, GZSL leverages semantic information of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Maria T. Zuber| First 5 Authors: Jana Lasser, Jana Lasser, , , | Summary:Due to its high lethality amongst the elderly, the safety of nursing homes has been of central importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. With test procedures becoming available at scale, such as antigen or RT-LAMP tests, and increasing availability of vaccinations, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daphna Shohamy | Authors: Jonathan Nicholas, Christian Amlang, Chi-Ying Lin, Leila Montaser-Kouhsari, Natasha Desai, Ming-Kai Pan, Sheng-Han Kuo and Daphna Shohamy | Summary: Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) through mechanisms that remain incompletely characterized. Similar to AD, TBI models present with cellular metabolic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Takeo Higuchi | Summary:The technique of weak value amplification, proposed by Aharonov et al. in 1988, has been applied for various fields of physics for the purpose of precision measurement, which is made possible by exploiting the freedom of `postselection’ specifying actively the final state in the physical process. Here we report for […]

Kavli Affiliate: David P. Huenemoerder | First 5 Authors: Joy S. Nichols, Yael Naze, David P. Huenemoerder, Anthony F. J. Moffat, Nathan Miller | Summary: Analysis of the recent long exposure Chandra X-ray observation of the early-type O star zeta Pup shows clear variability with a period previously reported in optical photometric studies. These 813 […]
Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: William J. Huggins, Sam McArdle, Thomas E. O’Brien, Joonho Lee, Nicholas C. Rubin | Summary: Contemporary quantum computers have relatively high levels of noise, making it difficult to use them to perform useful calculations, even with a large number of qubits. Quantum error correction is expected […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Gourav Khullar, Katya Gozman, Jason J. Lin, Michael N. Martinez, Owen S. Matthews Acuña | Summary: We report the discovery of COOL J1241+2219, a strongly-lensed galaxy at redshift $z$=5.043$pm$0.002 with observed magnitude $z_{AB}=20.47$, lensed by a moderate-mass galaxy cluster at $z$=1.001$pm$0.001. COOL J1241+2219 is the brightest […]
