Why do we have so many excitatory neurons?

Kavli Affiliate: Carey Priebe and Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Qingyang Wang, Albert Cardona, Marta Zlatic, Joshua Vogelstein and Carey Priebe | Summary: Approximately four in five neurons are excitatory. This is true across functional regions and species. Why do we have so many excitatory neurons? Little is known. Here we provide a normative answer to […]

Quantifying transcriptome turnover on phylogenies by modeling gene expression as a binary trait

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Ammon Thompson, Michael R. May, Ben Hopkins, Nerisa Riedl, Olga Barmina, Benjamin J. Liebeskind, Li Zhao, David Begun and Artyom Kopp | Summary: Changes in gene expression are a key driver of phenotypic evolution, leading to a persistent interest in the evolution of transcriptomes. Traditionally, gene expression is modeled […]

Connecting Lyman-$α$ and ionizing photon escape in the Sunburst Arc

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: M. Riley Owens, Keunho J. Kim, Matthew B. Bayliss, T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Keren Sharon | Summary: We investigate the Lyman-$alpha$ (Ly$alpha$) and Lyman continuum (LyC) properties of the Sunburst Arc, a $z=2.37$ gravitationally lensed galaxy with a multiply-imaged, compact region leaking LyC and a triple-peaked Ly$alpha$ […]

A long-duration superflare on the K giant HD 251108

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Hans Moritz Günther, Dheeraj Pasham, Alexander Binks, Stefan Czesla, Teruaki Enoto | Summary: Many giant stars are magnetically active, which causes rotational variability, chromospheric emission lines, and X-ray emission. Large outbursts in these emission features can set limits on the magnetic field strength and thus constrain the […]

Textless Streaming Speech-to-Speech Translation using Semantic Speech Tokens

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Jinzheng Zhao, Niko Moritz, Egor Lakomkin, Ruiming Xie, Zhiping Xiu | Summary: Cascaded speech-to-speech translation systems often suffer from the error accumulation problem and high latency, which is a result of cascaded modules whose inference delays accumulate. In this paper, we propose a transducer-based speech translation model […]

Reducing disorder in Ge quantum wells by using thick SiGe barriers

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Davide Costa, Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Yi Huang, Sara Martí-Sánchez, Davide Degli Esposti | Summary: We investigate the disorder properties of two-dimensional hole gases in Ge/SiGe heterostructures grown on Ge wafers, using thick SiGe barriers to mitigate the influence of the semiconductor-dielectric interface. Across several heterostructure field […]
