Cosmic Ray Mediated Thermal Fronts in the Warm-Hot Circumgalactic Medium

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Hanjue Zhu, Ellen G. Zweibel, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, , | Summary: We investigate the 1D plane-parallel front connecting the warm ($10^4$ K) and hot ($10^6$ K) phases of the circumgalactic medium (CGM), focusing on the influence of cosmic rays (CRs) in shaping these transition layers. We […]

EPContrast: Effective Point-level Contrastive Learning for Large-scale Point Cloud Understanding

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Zhiyi Pan, Guoqing Liu, Wei Gao, Thomas H. Li, | Summary: The acquisition of inductive bias through point-level contrastive learning holds paramount significance in point cloud pre-training. However, the square growth in computational requirements with the scale of the point cloud poses a substantial impediment to the […]

Domain-Adaptive Neural Posterior Estimation for Strong Gravitational Lens Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Paxson Swierc, Marcos Tamargo-Arizmendi, Aleksandra Ćiprijanović, Brian D. Nord, | Summary: Modeling strong gravitational lenses is prohibitively expensive for modern and next-generation cosmic survey data. Neural posterior estimation (NPE), a simulation-based inference (SBI) approach, has been studied as an avenue for efficient analysis of strong lensing […]

ybx1 acts upstream of atoh1a to promote the rapid regeneration of hair cells in zebrafish lateral-line neuromasts

Kavli Affiliate: A. James Hudspeth | Authors: Caleb C. Reagor and A. J. Hudspeth | Summary: Like the sensory organs of the human inner ear, the lateral-line neuromasts (NMs) of fish such as the zebrafish (Danio rerio) contain mechanosensory hair cells (HCs) that are surrounded by progenitors called supporting cells. Damaged NMs can quickly regenerate […]

Why do bats fly into cave doors? Inattentional blindness in echolocating animals

Kavli Affiliate: Cynthia F. Moss | Authors: Nikita M Finger, Keegan E Eveland, Xiaoyan Yin and Cynthia F Moss | Summary: Echolocating bats can navigate complex 3D environments by integrating prior knowledge of spatial layouts and real-time sensory cues. This study demonstrates that inattentional blindness to sensory information undermines successful navigation in Egyptian fruit bats, […]
