Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Kirsten Harth, Dmitry Puzyrev, Ralf Stannarius, | Summary: Soft smooth particles in silo discharge show peculiar characteristics, including, for example, non-permanent clogging and intermittent flow. This paper describes a study of soft, low-frictional hydro-gel spheres in a quasi-2D silo. We enforce a more competitive behavior […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ann McDermott | Authors: Ann E McDermott and Eric G Keeler | Summary: Magic angle spinning NMR rotating frame relaxation measurements provide a powerful experimental strategy to probe biomolecules dynamics, as is illustrated by numerous recent applications. We discuss experimental strategies for this class of experiments, with a particular focus on systems where […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jean Laurent Casanova | Authors: Gaspard Kerner, Anna-Lena Neehus, Laurent Abel, Jean-Laurent Casanova, Etienne Patin, Guillaume Laval and Lluis Quintana-Murci | Summary: Ancient genomics can directly detect human genetic adaptation to environmental cues. However, it remains unclear how pathogens have exerted selective pressures on human genome diversity across different epochs and affected present-day […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles | Authors: Calvin J Kersbergen, Travis A Babola, Jason Rock and Dwight E Bergles | Summary: Neurons that process sensory information exhibit bursts of electrical activity during development, providing early training to circuits that will later encode similar features of the external world. In the mammalian auditory system, this intrinsically generated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Gregory L Gedman, Matthew T Biegler, Bettina Haase, Morgan Wirthlin, Olivier Fedrigo, Andreas R Pfenning and Erich D Jarvis | Summary: Vocal learning is a skilled motor behavior observed in several mammalian and avian species and is critical for human speech. While convergent gene expression patterns have highlighted similar […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Renato A. Dupke, Yolanda Jimenez-teja, Yuanyuan Su, Eleazar R. Carrasco, Anton M. Koekemoer | Summary: Fossil groups (FG) of galaxies still present a puzzle to theories of structure formation. Despite the low number of bright galaxies, they have relatively high velocity dispersions and ICM temperatures often corresponding […]
Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | First 5 Authors: Samar Safi-Harb, Brydyn Mac Intyre, Shuo Zhang, Isaac Pope, Shuhan Zhang | Summary: We present a broadband X-ray study of W50 (`the Manatee nebula’), the complex region powered by the microquasar SS 433, that provides a test-bed for several important astrophysical processes. The W50 nebula, a Galactic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael P. Brenner | First 5 Authors: Gideon Dresdner, Dmitrii Kochkov, Peter Norgaard, Leonardo Zepeda-Núñez, Jamie A. Smith | Summary: Despite their ubiquity throughout science and engineering, only a handful of partial differential equations (PDEs) have analytical, or closed-form solutions. This motivates a vast amount of classical work on numerical simulation of PDEs […]

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Aihara | Summary: The dark photon $A^prime$ and the dark Higgs boson $h^prime$ are hypothetical particles predicted in many dark sector models. We search for the simultaneous production of $A^prime$ and $h^prime$ in the dark Higgsstrahlung process […]
