PDRF: Progressively Deblurring Radiance Field for Fast and Robust Scene Reconstruction from Blurry Images

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheng Peng, Rama Chellappa, , , | Summary: We present Progressively Deblurring Radiance Field (PDRF), a novel approach to efficiently reconstruct high quality radiance fields from blurry images. While current State-of-The-Art (SoTA) scene reconstruction methods achieve photo-realistic rendering results from clean source views, their performances suffer when […]

A thermodynamically-consistent model for ATP production in mitochondria

Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Guadalupe C. Garcia, Thomas M. Bartol, Jr., Terrence J. Sejnowski and Padmini Rangamani | Summary: Abstract Life is based on energy conversion. In the nervous system, in particular, significant amounts of energy are needed to maintain synaptic transmission and homeostasis. To a large extent, neurons depend on oxidative phosphorylation […]

The JCMT Transient Survey: Single Epoch Transients and Variability of Faint Sources

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Doug Johnstone, Bhavana Lalchand, Steve Mairs, Hsien Shang, Wen Ping Chen | Summary: Short-duration flares at millimeter wavelengths provide unique insights into the strongest magnetic reconnection events in stellar coronae, and combine with longer-term variability to introduce complications to next-generation cosmology surveys. We analyze 5.5 years […]

From Prediction to Action: Dissociable Roles of Ventral Tegmental Area and Substantia Nigra Dopamine Neurons in Instrumental Reinforcement

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Janak | Authors: Kurt Michael Fraser, Heather J Pribut, Patricia H Janak and Ronald Keiflin | Summary: Abstract Reward-seeking requires the coordination of motor programs to achieve goals. Midbrain dopamine neurons are critical for reinforcement and their activation is sufficient for learning about cues, actions, and outcomes. Here we examine in detail […]

Understanding the effects of charge diffusion in next-generation soft X-ray imagers

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Foster | Summary:To take advantage of high-resolution optics sensitive to a broad energy range, future X-ray imaging instruments will require thick detectors with small pixels. This pixel aspect ratio affects spectral response in the soft X-ray band, vital for many science goals, as charge produced by the photon interaction near the entrance […]
