Automated head-fixation training system with high levels of animal participation in psychoacoustic tasks

Kavli Affiliate: Patrick Kanold | Authors: Ji Liu, Kate Maximov and Patrick O Kanold | Summary: Abstract Many animal training paradigms rely on head-fixation. Head-fixation training is typically laborious and can benefit from automation to relieve the workload as well as to reduce the variability in the training outcome. Several groups have reported successful implementations […]

A selectivity filter in the EMC limits protein mislocalization to the ER

Kavli Affiliate: Vy Thuy Nguyen | Authors: Tino Pleiner, Masami Hazu, Giovani Pinton Tomaleri, Vy N. Nguyen, Kurt Januszyk and Rebecca M. Voorhees | Summary: SUMMARY Tail anchored proteins (TAs) play essential roles at both the ER and mitochondria, and their accurate localization is critical to proteostasis. Biophysical similarities lead to mistargeting of mitochondrial TAs […]

Design rules for controlling active topological defects

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Bowick | Summary:Topological defects play a central role in the physics of many materials, including magnets, superconductors and liquid crystals. In active fluids, defects become autonomous particles that spontaneously propel from internal active stresses and drive chaotic flows stirring the fluid. The intimate connection between defect textures and active flow suggests that […]

Mixed Neural Voxels for Fast Multi-view Video Synthesis

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Sinan Tan, Xinghang Li, Zeyue Tian, Yafei Song | Summary: Synthesizing high-fidelity videos from real-world multi-view input is challenging because of the complexities of real-world environments and highly dynamic motions. Previous works based on neural radiance fields have demonstrated high-quality reconstructions of dynamic scenes. However, […]

Quantum initial conditions for curved inflating universes

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | Summary:We discuss the challenges of motivating, constructing, and quantizing a canonically normalized inflationary perturbation in spatially curved universes. We show that this has historically proved challenging due to the interaction of nonadiabaticity with spatial curvature. We construct a novel curvature perturbation that is canonically normalized in the sense of its […]

Background Determination for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter Experiment

Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra | Summary:The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment recently reported limits on WIMP-nucleus interactions from its initial science run, down to $9.2times10^-48$ cm$^2$ for the spin-independent interaction of a 36 GeV/c$^2$ WIMP at 90% confidence level. In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of the backgrounds important for this result and for other […]
