Active assembly and non-reciprocal dynamics of elastic membranes

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Bowick| First 5 Authors: John Berezney, John Berezney, , , | Summary:Equilibrium self-assembly and conventional materials processing techniques fall far short of mimicking dynamic self-actuating processes that are commonplace throughout biology. To bridge the gap between living and synthetic matter, we study adhesive non-thermal fibers immersed in an active fluid. Autonomous chaotic […]

Searching for GEMS: Characterizing Six Giant Planets around Cool Dwarfs

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Shubham Kanodia, Arvind F. Gupta, Caleb I. Canas, Lia Marta Bernabo, Varghese Reji | Summary: Transiting giant exoplanets around M-dwarf stars (GEMS) are rare, owing to the low-mass host stars. However, the all-sky coverage of TESS has enabled the detection of an increasingly large number of them […]

Long Range Energy-energy Correlator at the LHC

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Yuxun Guo, Xiaohui Liu, Feng Yuan, , | Summary: We study the forward-backward azimuthal angular correlations of hadrons in association with multi-particle production in the central rapidity region in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. We apply the nucleon energy-energy correlator framework, where the spinning gluon distribution introduces […]

Cross-sectional imaging of speed-of-sound distribution using photoacoustic reversal beacons

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yang Wang, Danni Wang, Liting Zhong, Yi Zhou, Qing Wang | Summary: Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) enables non-invasive cross-sectional imaging of biological tissues, but it fails to map the spatial variation of speed-of-sound (SOS) within tissues. While SOS is intimately linked to density and elastic modulus of tissues, […]

$boldsymbol{Steiner}$-Hardness: A Query Hardness Measure for Graph-Based ANN Indexes

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Zeyu Wang, Qitong Wang, Xiaoxing Cheng, Peng Wang, Themis Palpanas | Summary: Graph-based indexes have been widely employed to accelerate approximate similarity search of high-dimensional vectors. However, the performance of graph indexes to answer different queries varies vastly, leading to an unstable quality of service for downstream […]

Enhancing Uplift Modeling in Multi-Treatment Marketing Campaigns: Leveraging Score Ranking and Calibration Techniques

Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Yoon Tae Park, Ting Xu, Mohamed Anany, , | Summary: Uplift modeling is essential for optimizing marketing strategies by selecting individuals likely to respond positively to specific marketing campaigns. This importance escalates in multi-treatment marketing campaigns, where diverse treatment is available and we may want to assign […]

HMGB1 restores a dynamic chromatin environment in the presence of linker histone by deforming nucleosomal DNA

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Hayden S Saunders, Un Seng Chio, Camille M Moore, Vijay Ramani, Yifan Cheng and Geeta Narlikar | Summary: Summary: The essential architectural protein HMGB1 increases accessibility of nucleosomal DNA and counteracts the effects of linker histone H1. However, HMGB1 is less abundant than H1 and binds nucleosomes more weakly […]

Prompt-Softbox-Prompt: A free-text Embedding Control for Image Editing

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Yitong Yang, Yinglin Wang, Jing Wang, Tian Zhang, | Summary: Text-driven diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in image editing, but a crucial component in these models-text embeddings-has not been fully explored. The entanglement and opacity of text embeddings present significant challenges to achieving precise image editing. […]
