Kavli Affiliate: G. Ravichandran |Summary:The cytoskeleton (CSK) plays an important role in many cell functions. Given the similarities between the mechanical behavior of tensegrity structures and the CSK, many studies have proposed different tensegrity-based models for simulating cell mechanics. However, the low symmetry of most tensegrity units has hindered the analysis of realistic 3D structures. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Haokun Zhao, Haokun Zhao, , , | Summary: Time series forecasting is central to decision-making in domains as diverse as energy, finance, climate, and public health. In practice, forecasters face thousands of short, noisy series that vary in frequency, quality, and horizon, where the dominant cost lies […]
Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | Summary:The SPLENDOR Collaboration studies novel narrow-gap semiconductors and engineered a substrate agnostic detector platform to achieve $mathcalO$(meV) energy sensitivity designed for low mass dark matter searches. This was achieved using low-capacitance and low-noise commercial CryoHEMTs in a split-stage topology integrated throughout a dilution refrigerator. Designed with a source-follower HEMT at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rafael Nunez | Authors: Pieter van Dillewijn, Lydia M. Bernabéu-Roda, Virginia Cuéllar, Rafael Núñez, Otto Geiger, Isabel M. López-Lara and María J. Soto | Summary: Bacterial volatile compounds play important roles in intra- and interkingdom interactions but very little is known about their effects on soil and plant microbiomes. The legume symbiont Sinorhizobium […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anastasia Kiyonaga | Authors: Yueying Dong, Yunchen Hung, Lana Gaspariani and Anastasia Kiyonaga | Summary: Working memory (WM) representations may be more action-oriented and anatomically widespread than previously assumed. For instance, oculomotor signatures like gaze biases can reflect spatial WM content. However, the specificity and functional relevance of such signatures is unclear. Here, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marshall Hussain Shuler | Authors: Elissa Sutlief, Shichen Zhang, Kate Forsberg, Rie Kaneko and Marshall G Hussain Shuler | Summary: Activities with diminishing returns pose a unique computational problem for the brain, requiring a combination of outcome evaluation and temporal tracking. Deciding the right time to stop one pursuit and move to alternatives […]
Kavli Affiliate: Martin Lindquist | Authors: Patrick Sadil and Martin A. Lindquist | Summary: Task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful tool for studying brain function. However, the reliability and viability of small-sample studies remain a concern. While it is well understood that larger samples are preferable, researchers often need to interpret findings […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tatyana Sharpee | Authors: Mingchen Yao, Anoop Praturu and Tatyana Sharpee | Summary: The increasing size of datasets poses challenges for their visualization and interpretation, highlighting the need for scalable and effective analysis methods. Hyperbolic embedding have shown strong potential in capturing complex hierarchical structures across diverse systems. However, existing hyperbolic embedding methods […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | Summary:We model the impact of source confusion on photometry and the resulting spectrophotometric redshifts for SPHEREx, a NASA Medium-Class Explorer that is carrying out an all-sky near-infrared spectral survey. Spectral confusion from untargeted background galaxies degrades sensitivity and introduces a spectral bias. Using interpolated spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alex Pollen | Authors: Jingwen W Ding, Chang N Kim, Marilyn R Steyert, Andrew T Yuan, David Shin, Dimitar Ivanov, Tomasz J. Nowakowski and Alex Aaron Pollen | Summary: Down syndrome (DS), caused by trisomy 21 (TS21), is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability1,2. The neurological impacts of DS first manifest […]
