Transdisciplinary collaborations for advancing sustainable and resilient agricultural systems

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Abraham Stroock | Summary:Feeding the growing human population sustainably amidst climate change is one of the most important challenges in the 21st century. Current practices often lead to the overuse of agronomic inputs, such as synthetic fertilizers and water, resulting in environmental contamination and diminishing returns on crop productivity. The complexity of agricultural […]

Lateral prefrontal cortex controls interplay between working memory and actions

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Anastasia Kiyonaga | Authors: Anastasia Kiyonaga, Jacob Miller and Mark D’Esposito | Summary: Humans must often keep multiple task goals in mind, at different levels of priority and immediacy, while also interacting with the environment. We might need to remember information for an upcoming task while engaged in more immediate actions. Consequently, actively […]

SAGAbg II: the Low-Mass Star-Forming Sequence Evolves Significantly Between 0.05<z<0.21

Posted by dbos Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Erin Kado-Fong, Marla Geha, Yao-Yuan Mao, Mithi A. C. de los Reyes, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: The redshift-dependent relation between galaxy stellar mass and star formation rate (the Star-Forming Sequence, or SFS) is a key observational yardstick for galaxy assembly. We use the SAGAbg-A sample […]

SPECTER: An Instrument Concept for CMB Spectral Distortion Measurements with Enhanced Sensitivity

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey McMahon | Summary:Deviations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) energy spectrum from a perfect blackbody uniquely probe a wide range of physics, ranging from fundamental physics in the primordial Universe ($μ$-distortion) to late-time baryonic feedback processes ($y$-distortion). While the $y$-distortion can be detected with a moderate increase in sensitivity over that of […]

Optimal Visual Search with Highly Heuristic Decision Rules

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Anqi Zhang| Summary:Visual search is a fundamental natural task for humans and other animals. We investigated the decision processes humans use in covert (single-fixation) search with briefly presented displays having well-separated potential target locations. Performance was compared with the Bayesian-optimal decision process under the assumption that the information from the different potential target […]

The Faraday rotation measure of the M87 jet at 3.5mm with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Sijia Peng, Ru-Sen Lu, Ciriaco Goddi, Thomas P. Krichbaum, Zhiyuan Li | Summary: Faraday rotation is an important probe of the magnetic fields and magnetized plasma around active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets. We present a Faraday rotation measure image of the M87 jet between 85.2 GHz and […]

Symmetry-Based Structured Matrices for Efficient Approximately Equivariant Networks

Posted by dbos Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Ashwin Samudre, Mircea Petrache, Brian D. Nord, Shubhendu Trivedi, | Summary: There has been much recent interest in designing symmetry-aware neural networks (NNs) exhibiting relaxed equivariance. Such NNs aim to interpolate between being exactly equivariant and being fully flexible, affording consistent performance benefits. In a separate […]
