The growth of the gargantuan black holes powering high-redshift quasars and their impact on the formation of early galaxies and protoclusters

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Jake S. Bennett, Debora Sijacki, Tiago Costa, Nicolas Laporte, Callum Witten | Summary: High-redshift quasars ($zgtrsim6$), powered by black holes (BHs) with large inferred masses, imply rapid BH growth in the early Universe. The most extreme examples have inferred masses of $sim ! 10^9,$M$_odot$ at $z = […]

Robust MPC with Zone Tracking

Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | First 5 Authors: Zhiyinan Huang, Jinfeng Liu, Biao Huang, , | Summary: We propose a robust nonlinear model predictive control design with generalized zone tracking (ZMPC) in this work. The proposed ZMPC has guaranteed convergence into the target zone in the presence of bounded disturbance. The proposed approach achieves this […]

Multicore fiber optic imaging reveals that astrocyte calcium activity in the cerebral cortex is modulated by internal motivational state

Kavli Affiliate: Jin Kang, Dwight Bergles | Authors: Yung-Tian A. Gau, Eric Hsu, Jaepyeong Cha, Rebecca W. Pak, Loren L. Looger, Jin U. Kang and Dwight E. Bergles | Summary: Astrocytes are a direct target of neuromodulators and can influence neuronal activity on broad spatial and temporal scales through their close proximity to synapses. However, […]

Inverse problems for Dirac operators with a constant delay less than half of the interval

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Chuan-Fu Yang | Summary: In this work, we consider Dirac-type operators with a constant delay less than half of the interval and not less than two fifths of the interval. For our considered Dirac-type operators, an inverse spectral problem is studied. Specifically, reconstruction of two […]
