Prophages as a source of antimicrobial resistance genes in the human microbiome

Posted by dbos UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Laura K Inglis, Michael J Roach, Susanna R Grigson and Robert A. Edwards | Summary: Prophages—viruses that integrate into bacterial genomes—are ubiquitous in the microbial realm. Prophages contribute significantly to horizontal gene transfer, including the potential spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, because they can collect host genes. Understanding […]

Subaru Hyper-Supreme Cam observations of IC 1396: Source catalogue, member population, and sub-clusters of the complex

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Swagat R Das, Saumya Gupta, Jessy Jose, Manash Samal, Gregory J. Herczeg | Summary: To identify member populations of IC 1396, we employ the random forest (RF) classifier of machine learning technique. Random forest classifier is an ensemble of individual decision trees suitable for large, high-dimensional […]

Unveiling the sea: universality of the transverse momentum dependent quark distributions at small $x$

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Paul Caucal, Marcos Guerrero Morales, Edmond Iancu, Farid Salazar, Feng Yuan | Summary: Within the Colour Glass Condensate effective theory, we demonstrate that back-to-back dijet correlations in dilute-dense collisions involving a small-$x$ quark from the nuclear target can be factorised in terms of universal transverse momentum dependent […]

The Ambiguous Age and Tidal History for the Ultra-Hot Jupiter TOI-1937Ab

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Alyssa R. Jankowski, Juliette Becker, Melinda Soares-Furtado, Andrew Vanderburg, Zijun He | Summary: Ultra-short-period (USP) planets are a rare but dynamically significant subset of the exoplanet sample, and understanding their dynamical histories and migration processes is necessary to build a complete picture of the outcomes of planet […]

SAPPHIRES: A Galaxy Over-Density in the Heart of Cosmic Reionization at $z=8.47$

Posted by dbos Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Yoshinobu Fudamoto, Jakob M. Helton, Xiaojing Lin, Fengwu Sun, Peter Behroozi | Summary: We report the discovery of a galaxy proto-cluster candidate (dubbed MACS0416-OD-z8p5) at a spectroscopic redshift of $zsim8.47$, dating back to $sim550$Myr after the Big Bang. The observations are part of the JWST Cycle-3 treasury […]

How to Train Your Dragon: Automatic Diffusion-Based Rigging for Characters with Diverse Topologies

Posted by dbos UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Zeqi Gu, Difan Liu, Timothy Langlois, Matthew Fisher, Abe Davis | Summary: Recent diffusion-based methods have achieved impressive results on animating images of human subjects. However, most of that success has built on human-specific body pose representations and extensive training with labeled real videos. In this work, […]

Two-qubit logic and teleportation with mobile spin qubits in silicon

Posted by dbos Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Yuta Matsumoto, Maxim De Smet, Larysa Tryputen, Sander L. de Snoo, Sergey V. Amitonov | Summary: The scalability and power of quantum computing architectures depend critically on high-fidelity operations and robust and flexible qubit connectivity. In this respect, mobile qubits are particularly attractive as they enable dynamic […]

Mechanism of Shape Symmetry Breaking in Surfactant Mediated Crystal Growth

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Sam Oaks-Leaf, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We present a dynamical model of crystal growth, in which it is possible to reliably achieve asymmetric products, beginning from symmetric initial conditions and growing within an isotropic environment. The asymmetric growth is the result of a […]

Functional Correspondences in the Human and Marmoset Visual Cortex During Movie Watching: Insights from Correlation, Redundancy, and Synergy

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Qiang Li, Ting Xu, Vince D. Calhoun, , | Summary: The world of beauty is deeply connected to the visual cortex, as perception often begins with vision in both humans and marmosets. Quantifying functional correspondences in the visual cortex across species can help us understand how information […]
