Optimality in superselective surface binding by multivalent DNA nanostars

Kavli Affiliate: Jos Zwanikken | Summary:Weak multivalent interactions govern a large variety of biological processes like cell-cell adhesion and virus-host interactions. These systems distinguish sharply between surfaces based on receptor density, known as superselectivity. Earlier experimental and theoretical work provided insights into the control of selectivity: Weak interactions and a high number of ligands facilitate […]

SWAT: A System-Wide Approach to Tunable Leakage Mitigation in Encrypted Data Stores

Kavli Affiliate: Hu Zhan | First 5 Authors: Leqian Zheng, Lei Xu, Cong Wang, Sheng Wang, Yuke Hu | Summary: Numerous studies have underscored the significant privacy risks associated with various leakage patterns in encrypted data stores. While many solutions have been proposed to mitigate these leakages, they either (1) incur substantial overheads, (2) focus […]

Divergence Based Quadrangle and Applications

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Anton Malandii, Siddhartha Gupte, Cheng Peng, Stan Uryasev, | Summary: This paper introduces a novel framework for assessing risk and decision-making in the presence of uncertainty, the emph{$varphi$-Divergence Quadrangle}. This approach expands upon the traditional Risk Quadrangle, a model that quantifies uncertainty through four key components: emph{risk, […]

Diffuse neutrino background from past core-collapse supernovae

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Shin’ichiro Ando, Nick Ekanger, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Yusuke Koshio, | Summary: Core-collapse supernovae are among the most powerful explosions in the universe, emitting thermal neutrinos that carry away the majority of the gravitational binding energy released. These neutrinos create a diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB), one of the […]
