Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Akifumi Chitose, Masahiro Ibe, Yuhei Nakayama, Satoshi Shirai, Keiichi Watanabe | Summary: Metastable cosmic strings appear in models of new physics with a two-step symmetry breaking $Gto Hto 1$, where $pi_1(H)neq 0$ and $pi_1(G)=0$. They decay via the monopole-antimonopole pair creation inside. Conventionally, the breaking rate has […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Bingzhi Liu, Yin Cao, Haohe Liu, Yi Zhou, | Summary: Diffusion models have demonstrated promising results in text-to-audio generation tasks. However, their practical usability is hindered by slow sampling speeds, limiting their applicability in high-throughput scenarios. To address this challenge, progressive distillation methods have been effective in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mounya Elhilali | Authors: Bernhard Englitz, Sahar Akram, Mounya Elhilali and Shihab Shamma | Summary: SPerception can be highly dependent on stimulus context, but whether and how sensory areas encode the context remains uncertain. We used an ambiguous auditory stimulus – a tritone pair – to investigate the neural activity associated with a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alessandra Lanzara | First 5 Authors: Ivan Pelayo, Derek Bergner, Archibald J. Williams, Jiayuwen Qi, Mahfuzun Nabi | Summary: PtTe$_2$ and PdTe$_2$ are among the first transition metal dichalcogenides that were predicted to host type-II Dirac fermions, exotic particles prohibited in free space. These materials are layered and air-stable, which makes them top […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Goldberg | Authors: Michael E Goldberg, Michelle D Noyes, Evan E Eichler, Aaron Quinlan and Kelley Harris | Summary: Short tandem repeats (STRs) are hotspots of genomic variability in the human germline because of their high mutation rates, which have long been attributed largely to polymerase slippage during DNA replication. This model […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alan David Kaplan | Authors: Duy Duong-Tran, Ralph Kaufmann, Jiong Chen, Xuan Wang, Sumita Garai, Frederick Xu, Jingxuan Bao, Enrico Amico, Alan David Kaplan, Giovanni Petri, Joaquin Goni, Yize Zhao and Li Shen | Summary: Human whole-brain functional connectivity networks have been shown to exhibit both local/quasilocal (e.g., set of functional sub-circuits induced […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Tian Xia, Jia Liu, Zhiping Chen, , | Summary: In this paper, we study the distributionally robust joint chance constrained Markov decision process. {Utilizing the logarithmic transformation technique,} we derive its deterministic reformulation with bi-convex terms under the moment-based uncertainty set. To cope with the non-convexity and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gang Su | First 5 Authors: Jia-Wen Li, Gang Su, Bo Gu, , | Summary: To realize room temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors is still a challenge in spintronics. Recent experiments have obtained two-dimensional (2D) room temperature ferromagnetic metals, such as monolayer MnSe2. In this paper, we proposed a way to obtain room temperature ferromagnetic […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Mikaela C Kasperek, Adriana Velasquez Galeas, Maria Elisa Caetano-Silva, Zifan Xie, Alexander V Ulanov, Michael R La Frano, Suzanne Devkota, Michael J Miller and Jacob M Allen | Summary: Ingestion of fermented foods impacts human immune function, yet the bioactive food components underlying these effects are not understood. Here, […]
