Sugar sensation and mechanosensation in the egg-laying preference shift of Drosophila suzukii

Kavli Affiliate: John Carlson | Authors: Wanyue Wang, Hany K M Dweck, Gaëlle J.S. Talross, Ali Zaidi, Joshua M Gendron and John R Carlson | Summary: The agricultural pest Drosophila suzukii differs from most other Drosophila species in that it lays eggs in ripe, rather than overripe, fruit. Previously we showed that changes in bitter […]

Rewiring Dynamics of Functional Connectome in Motor Cortex during Motor Skill Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Takaki Komiyama | Authors: Saber Meamardoost, Eunjung Hwang, Mahasweta Bhattacharya, Chi Ren, Linbing Wang, Claudia Mewes, Ying Zhang, Takaki Komiyama and Rudiyanto Gunawan | Summary: The brain’s connectome continually rewires throughout the life of an organism. In this study, we sought to elucidate the operational principles of such rewiring by analyzing the functional […]

Actomyosin-driven division of a synthetic cell

Kavli Affiliate: Gijsje Koenderink | Summary:One of the major challenges of bottom-up synthetic biology is rebuilding a minimal division machinery. The animal cell division apparatus is mechanically the simplest, in which an actin-based ring constricts the membrane, as compared to microbes and plant cells where a cell wall is involved. Furthermore, reconstitution of the actin […]

TRIE++: Towards End-to-End Information Extraction from Visually Rich Documents

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Zhanzhan Cheng, Peng Zhang, Can Li, Qiao Liang, Yunlu Xu | Summary: Recently, automatically extracting information from visually rich documents (e.g., tickets and resumes) has become a hot and vital research topic due to its widespread commercial value. Most existing methods divide this task into two subparts: […]

Consistency test of the fine-structure constant from the whole ionization history

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Lu Chen, , , | Summary: In cosmology, the fine-structure constant can affect the whole ionization history. However, the previous works confine themselves to the recombination epoch and give various strong constraints on the fine-structure constant. In this paper, we also take the reionization epoch […]

Large deviation principle for reflected SPDE on infinite spatial domain

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Ran Wang, Beibei Zhang, , , | Summary: We study a large deviation principle for a reflected stochastic partial differential equation on infinite spatial domain. A new sufficient condition for the weak convergence criterion proposed by Matoussi, Sabbagh and Zhang ({it Appl. Math. Optim.} 83: 849-879, 2021) […]

Limits on X-ray Polarization at the Core of Centaurus A as Observed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Steven R. Ehlert, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Andrea Marinucci, Herman L. Marshall, Riccardo Middei | Summary: We present measurements of the polarization of X-rays in the $2-8 thinspace mathrm{keV}$ band from the nucleus of the radio galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A), using a 100ks observation from the Imaging […]
