Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Amanda Bentley-DeSousa and Shawn Ferguson | Summary: Mutations that increase LRRK2 kinase activity have been linked to Parkinson’s disease and Crohn’s disease. LRRK2 is also activated by lysosome damage evoked by chemical and pathogenic stimuli. However, the endogenous cellular mechanisms that control LRRK2 kinase activity are not well understood. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew M. Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Lizhou Sha, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Luke G. Bouma, Chelsea X. Huang, | Summary: Blanco 1 is an $approx 130,mathrm{Myr}$ open cluster located 240 pc from the Sun below the Galactic plane. Recent studies have reported the existence of diffuse tidal tails extending 50-60 pc from the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wen Liu, Wen-Hao Bian, Xiao-Zhuo Chu, Jing Wang, | Summary: Employing the renormalization group approach, we carefully investigate the critical behavior of two-dimensional tilted semi-Dirac semimetals induced by the fermion-fermion interactions in the low-energy regime. After incorporating all one-loop corrections, we derive the coupled RG equations of […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Masafusa Onoue, Xuheng Ding, John D. Silverman, Yoshiki Matsuoka, Takuma Izumi | Summary: Understanding the rapid formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early universe requires an understanding of how stellar mass grows in the host galaxies. Here, we perform an analysis of rest-frame optical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Manfred Klaffenboeck, Michael Gleicher, Johannes Sorger, Michael Wimmer, Torsten Möller | Summary: Visual Parameter Space Analysis (VPSA) enables domain scientists to explore input-output relationships of computational models. Existing VPSA applications often feature multi-view visualizations designed by visualization experts for a specific scenario, making it hard for domain […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Erica Thygesen, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Zoë L. De Beurs, Andrew Vanderburg, John H. Livingston | Summary: K2-2 b/HIP 116454 b, the first exoplanet discovery by K2 during its Two-Wheeled Concept Engineering Test, is a sub-Neptune (2.5 $pm$ 0.1 $R_oplus$, 9.7 $pm$ 1.2 $M_oplus$) orbiting a relatively bright […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Xinhu Zheng, Anbai Jiang, Bing Han, Yanmin Qian, Pingyi Fan | Summary: Anomalous Sound Detection (ASD) has gained significant interest through the application of various Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in industrial settings. Though possessing great potential, ASD systems can hardly be readily deployed in real production sites […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Burchat | First 5 Authors: Ismael Mendoza, Andrii Torchylo, Thomas Sainrat, Axel Guinot, Alexandre Boucaud | Summary: We present an open source Python library for simulating overlapping (i.e., blended) images of galaxies and performing self-consistent comparisons of detection and deblending algorithms based on a suite of metrics. The package, named Blending Toolkit […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Haoming Howard Li, Qian Chen, Gerbrand Ceder, Kristin A. Persson, | Summary: Advances in lithium-metal anodes have inspired interest in discovery of Li-free cathodes, most of which are natively found in their charged state. This is in contrast to today’s commercial lithium-ion battery cathodes, which are […]
