Measuring the Temperature of Extremely Hot Shock-Heated Gas in the Major Merger MACS~J0717.5+3745 With Relativistic Corrections to the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect

Posted by klaurent October 9, 2025October 20, 2025Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Adam Mantz | First 5 Authors: Benjamin J. Vaughan, Benjamin J. Vaughan, , , | Summary: The conversion of gravitational potential to kinetic energy results in an intracluster medium (ICM) gas with a characteristic temperature near 10 keV in the most massive galaxy clusters. X-ray observations, primarily from Chandra and XMM-Newton, have revealed […]

Vascular endothelial-specific loss of TGF-beta signaling as a model for choroidal neovascularization and central nervous system vascular inflammation

Posted by dbos October 9, 2025October 20, 2025Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Jeremy Nathans | Authors: Yanshu Wang, Amir Rattner, Zhongming Li, Philip M Smallwood and Jeremy Nathans | Summary: In mice, postnatal endothelial cell (EC)-specific knockout of the genes coding for Transforming Growth Factor-Beta Receptor (TGFBR)1 and/or TGFBR2 eliminates TGF-beta signaling in vascular ECs and leads to distinctive central nervous system (CNS) vascular phenotypes. […]

Ingestion-activated CGRP neurons control learning but not satiety

Posted by dbos October 9, 2025October 20, 2025UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Zachary Knight | Authors: Brooke C Jarvie, Anagh Ravi, Rhea Nanavati, Longhui Qui, Truong Ly, Jun Y Oh, Olivia K Barnhill and Zachary A Knight | Summary: Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) neurons in the parabrachial nucleus are critical for sickness and malaise but have also been proposed to control non-aversive (rewarding) satiation. How […]

R2RGEN: Real-to-Real 3D Data Generation for Spatially Generalized Manipulation

Posted by klaurent October 9, 2025October 20, 2025UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Xiuwei Xu, Xiuwei Xu, , , | Summary: Towards the aim of generalized robotic manipulation, spatial generalization is the most fundamental capability that requires the policy to work robustly under different spatial distribution of objects, environment and agent itself. To achieve this, substantial human demonstrations need to […]

Gluon splitting at small $x$: a unified derivation for the JIMWLK, DGLAP and CSS equations

Posted by klaurent October 9, 2025October 20, 2025Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Paul Caucal, Paul Caucal, , , | Summary: We revisit the calculation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to dijet production in electron-ion collisions at small $x$. We focus on the back-to-back configuration where the relative transverse momentum $P_perp$ of the measured jets is much larger than […]

Direct Spectroscopy of 51 Eridani b with JWST NIRSpec

Posted by klaurent October 9, 2025October 20, 2025Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We present high-contrast direct spectroscopy of the low-mass, cool exoplanet 51 Eridani b (2-4 M$_textrmJup$, $sim$750 K) using JWST / NIRSpec in a fixed-slit configuration (F290LP / G395H, $3-5,mu$m, R$sim$2,700). A cross correlation analysis between the continuum-subtracted data and atmospheric forward […]

Bidirectional Representations Augmented Autoregressive Biological Sequence Generation:Application in De Novo Peptide Sequencing

Posted by klaurent October 9, 2025Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Xiang Zhang, , , | Summary: Autoregressive (AR) models, common in sequence generation, are limited in many biological tasks such as de novo peptide sequencing and protein modeling by their unidirectional nature, failing to capture crucial global bidirectional token dependencies. Non-Autoregressive (NAR) models offer holistic, […]

Variable-Rate Texture Compression: Real-Time Rendering with JPEG

Posted by klaurent October 9, 2025October 20, 2025Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Elias Kristmann, Elias Kristmann, , , | Summary: Although variable-rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real-time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we […]
