Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Sam Christian, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker, Adam L. Kraus, Logan Pearce | Summary: Studying the relative orientations of the orbits of exoplanets and wide-orbiting binary companions (semimajor axis greater than 100 AU) can shed light on how planets form and evolve in binary systems. Previous observations by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Kasai, Masahiro Kawasaki, Kai Murai, Shunsuke Neda, | Summary: We study a primordial black hole (PBH) formation model based on the framework of the inhomogeneous Affleck-Dine (AD) mechanism, which can explain the seeds of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). This model, however, predicts strong clustering of SMBHs […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristina Nielsen Loyal Goff | Authors: Soraia Barao, Yijun Xu, Rachel Vistein, Loyal Goff, Kristina Nielsen, Byoung-Il Bae, Richard S. Smith, Christopher A Walsh, Genevieve Stein O Brien and Ulrich Muller | Summary: The mammalian neocortex differs vastly in size and complexity between mammalian species, yet the mechanisms that lead to an increase […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Aleksandre Japaridze, Victor Struijk, Kushal Swamy, Irek Roslon, Oriel Shoshani | Summary: Synchronization plays a crucial role in the dynamics of living organisms, from fireflies flashing in unison to pacemaker cells that jointly generate heartbeats. Uncovering the mechanism behind these phenomena requires an understanding of individual biological […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, M. Cenk Gursoy, Senem Velipasalar, , | Summary: In this paper, we propose feature-based federated transfer learning as a novel approach to improve communication efficiency by reducing the uplink payload by multiple orders of magnitude compared to that of existing approaches in federated learning and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Linhua Jiang, Shuqi Fu, Feige Wang, Sarah E. I. Bosman, Zheng Cai | Summary: We present constraints on the spacetime variation of the fine-structure constant $alpha$ at redshifts $3<z<10$ using JWST emission-line galaxies. The galaxy sample consists of 572 high-quality spectra with strong and narrow [O III] […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Kathleen T Quach, Gillian A Hughes and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Prey must balance the need to avoid predators with the need to feed, a dilemma central to prey refuge theory. Additionally, prey must also assess predatory imminence, or how close predator threats are in space and time. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jean Fan | Authors: Jude Marvin Phillip, Pratik Kamat, Nico Macaluso, Chanhong Min, Yukang Li, Anshika Agrawal, Aaron Winston, Lauren Pan, Bartholomew Marvin Starich, Teasia Stewert, Pei-Hsun Wu, Jean Fan and Jeremy Walston | Summary: Cellular senescence is an established driver of aging, exhibiting context-dependent phenotypes across multiple biological length-scales. Despite its mechanistic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Lingdong Kong, Shaoyuan Xie, Hanjiang Hu, Yaru Niu, Wei Tsang Ooi | Summary: In the realm of autonomous driving, robust perception under out-of-distribution conditions is paramount for the safe deployment of vehicles. Challenges such as adverse weather, sensor malfunctions, and environmental unpredictability can severely impact the performance […]
