The Dragon-II simulations — II. Formation mechanisms, mass, and spin of intermediate-mass black holes in star clusters with up to 1 million stars

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Manuel Arca Sedda, Albrecht W. H. Kamlah, Rainer Spurzem, Francesco Paolo Rizzuto, Mirek Giersz | Summary: The processes that govern the formation of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in dense stellar clusters are still unclear. Here, we discuss the role of stellar mergers, star-BH interactions and accretion, as […]

Endotaxial Stabilization of 2D Charge Density Waves with Long-range Order

Posted by dbos Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Charge density waves are emergent quantum states that spontaneously reduce crystal symmetry, drive metal-insulator transitions, and precede superconductivity. In low-dimensions, distinct quantum states arise, however, thermal fluctuations and external disorder destroy long-range order. Here we stabilize ordered two-dimensional (2D) charge […]

On the Bipartite Entanglement Capacity of Quantum Networks

Posted by dbos Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Gayane Vardoyan, Emily van Milligen, Saikat Guha, Stephanie Wehner, Don Towsley | Summary: We consider the problem of multi-path entanglement distribution to a pair of nodes in a quantum network consisting of devices with non-deterministic entanglement swapping capabilities. Multi-path entanglement distribution enables a network to establish end-to-end […]

Direct Entorhinal Control of CA1 Temporal Coding

Posted by klaurent NTNU

Kavli Affiliate: Clifford Kentros | Authors: Matteo Guardamagna, Oscar M.T. Chadney, Federico Stella, Qiangwei Zhang, Clifford Kentros and Francesco P. Battaglia | Summary: Local computations of CA1 neurons are shaped by two direct input streams, from CA3 and EC LIII. By specifically silencing the direct input from the entorhinal cortex, we found that single-cell temporal […]

Effect of coat-protein concentration on the self-assembly of bacteriophage MS2 capsids around RNA

Posted by dbos Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Vinothan N. Manoharan | First 5 Authors: LaNell A. Williams, Andreas Neophytou, Rees F. Garmann, Dwaipayan Chakrabarti, Vinothan N. Manoharan | Summary: Self-assembly is a vital part of the life cycle of certain icosahedral RNA viruses. Furthermore, the assembly process can be harnessed to make icosahedral virus-like particles (VLPs) from coat protein and […]

ECL: Class-Enhancement Contrastive Learning for Long-tailed Skin Lesion Classification

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Yilan Zhang, Jianqi Chen, Ke Wang, Fengying Xie, | Summary: Skin image datasets often suffer from imbalanced data distribution, exacerbating the difficulty of computer-aided skin disease diagnosis. Some recent works exploit supervised contrastive learning (SCL) for this long-tailed challenge. Despite achieving significant performance, these SCL-based methods focus […]
