Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Vikram Pal Singh, Jingwen Li, Jude Mitchell and Cory Miller | Summary: Our understanding of how vision functions as primates actively navigate the real-world is remarkably sparse. As most data have been limited to chaired and typically head-restrained animals, the synergistic interactions of different motor actions/plans inherent to active […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Shreyansh Pitroda, Eric Sihite, Taoran Liu, Kaushik Venkatesh Krishnamurthy, Chenghao Wang | Summary: Our work aims to make significant strides in understanding unexplored locomotion control paradigms based on the integration of posture manipulation and thrust vectoring. These techniques are commonly seen in nature, such as Chukar birds […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Shreyansh Pitroda, Eric Sihite, Taoran Liu, Kaushik Venkatesh Krishnamurthy, Chenghao Wang | Summary: In a multi-modal system which combines thruster and legged locomotion such our state-of-the-art Harpy platform to perform dynamic locomotion. Therefore, it is very important to have a proper estimate of Thruster force. Harpy is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Diego Barberena, Matthew P. A. Fisher, , , | Summary: We study in detail the postselection problem in a specific model: bosons hopping on a lattice subjected to continuous local measurements of quadrature observables. We solve the model analytically and show that the postselection overhead […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chihway Chang | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Levine, Javier Sánchez, Chihway Chang, Anja von der Linden, Eboni Collins | Summary: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will survey the southern sky to create the largest galaxy catalog to date, and its statistical power demands an improved understanding […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jean Fan | Authors: Dee Velazquez and Jean Fan | Summary: Summary: Displaying proportional data across many spatially resolved coordinates is a challenging but important data visualization task, particularly for spatially resolved transcriptomics data. Scatter pie plots are one type of commonly used data visualization for such data but present perceptual challenges that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | First 5 Authors: Gautam Venugopalan, Giorgio Gratta, , , | Summary: Microscopic devices are widely used in optomechanical experiments at the cutting-edge of precision experimental physics. Such devices often need to have high electrical conductivity but low reflectivity at optical wavelengths, which can be competing requirements for many commonly available […]
Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Xiao Guo, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, , | Summary: Massive black holes (MBHs) exist in the Galactic center (GC) and other nearby galactic nuclei. As natural outcome of galaxy mergers, some MBHs may have a black hole (BH) companion. In this paper, assuming that the MBHs in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Jianquan Ge, Ya Tao, Yi Zhou, , | Summary: For compact submanifolds in Euclidean and Spherical space forms with Ricci curvature bounded below by a function $alpha(n,k,H,c)$ of mean curvature, we prove that the submanifold is either isometric to the Einstein Clifford torus, or a topological sphere […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: H. N. Smitha, Alexander I. Shapiro, Veronika Witzke, Nadiia M. Kostogryz, Yvonne C. Unruh | Summary: Accurate calculations of starspot spectra are essential for multiple applications in astronomy. The current standard is to represent starspot spectra by spectra of stars that are cooler than the quiet star […]
