EdgeVision: Towards Collaborative Video Analytics on Distributed Edges for Performance Maximization

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Guanyu Gao, Yuqi Dong, Ran Wang, Xin Zhou, | Summary: Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based video analytics significantly improves recognition accuracy in computer vision applications. Deploying DNN models at edge nodes, closer to end users, reduces inference delay and minimizes bandwidth costs. However, these resource-constrained edge nodes may […]

The physical basis of self-organization of the mammalian oocyte spindle

Posted by dbos Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel J. Needleman | First 5 Authors: Colm P Kelleher, Daniel J Needleman, , , | Summary: To prepare gametes with the appropriate number of chromosomes, mammalian oocytes undergo two sequential cell divisions. During each division, a large, long-lived, microtubule-based organelle called the meiotic spindle assembles around condensed chromosomes. Although meiotic spindles have […]

Long-Range Repulsion Between Chromosomes in Mammalian Oocyte Spindles

Posted by dbos Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel J. Needleman | First 5 Authors: Colm P Kelleher, Yash Rana, Daniel J Needleman, , | Summary: During eukaryotic cell division, a microtubule-based structure called the spindle exerts forces on chromosomes, thereby organizing and segregating them Extensive work demonstrates that the forces acting parallel to the spindle axis, including those responsible for […]

Stochastic thermodynamic bounds on logical circuit operation

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Phillip Helms, Songela W. Chen, David T. Limmer, , | Summary: Using a thermodynamically consistent, mesoscopic model for modern complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors, we study an array of logical circuits and explore how their function is constrained by recent thermodynamic uncertainty relations when operating near thermal energies. […]

TESS Giants Transiting Giants III: An eccentric warm Jupiter supports a period-eccentricity relation for giant planets transiting evolved stars

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Edward H. Morgan | First 5 Authors: Samuel K. Grunblatt, Nicholas Saunders, Ashley Chontos, Soichiro Hattori, Dimitri Veras | Summary: The fate of planets around rapidly evolving stars is not well understood. Previous studies have suggested that relative to the main sequence population, planets transiting evolved stars ($P$ $<$ 100 d) tend to […]

Observation of Negative Surface and Interface Energies of Quantum Dots

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Alivisatos | First 5 Authors: Jason J. Calvin, Amanda S. Brewer, Michelle F. Crook, Tierni M. Kaufman, A. Paul Alivisatos | Summary: Surface energy is a fundamental property of materials and is particularly important in describing nanomaterials where atoms or molecules at the surface constitute a large fraction of the material. Traditionally, […]
