Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Qinyuan Zhang, Qinyuan Zhang, , , | Summary: Cosmogenic neutrinos (CNs) are produced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) interacting with cosmic background radiation. We investigated the properties of CN point/extended sources, i.e, the neutrino spectrum, and angular profile as functions of time, by assuming that UHECR […]
Kavli Affiliate: Deepto Chakrabarty | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We present the results obtained from timing and spectral studies of 15 thermonuclear X-ray bursts from 4U 1820-30 observed with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) during its five years of observations between 2017-2022. All bursts showed clear signs of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA catalog has been analyzed with an abundance of different population models due to theoretical uncertainty in the formation of gravitational-wave sources. To expedite model exploration, we introduce an efficient and accurate variational Bayesian approach that learns the population posterior […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rudolf Podgornik | First 5 Authors: Rashmi Kandari, Rashmi Kandari, , , | Summary: Precisely controlling the surface charge of zwitterionic macromolecules is crucial for tailoring their properties and optimizing them for specific applications. Here, we present a generalized calculation scheme for determining the screening length in solutions containing zwitterionic macroions, where the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xingde Li | Authors: Yongping Chen and Xingde Li | Summary: This study investigates the synthesis of pH-responsive, reversible nanocomposites comprising polystyrene sulfonate (PSS)-coated gold nanorods and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)-coated gold nanorods, along with their optical properties. We observed a pH-dependent swelling/shrinking of the nanocomposites and a dramatic red-shift (~ 60 nm) of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Ting-Hsuan Liao, Yi Zhou, Yu Shen, Chun-Hao Paul Huang, Saayan Mitra | Summary: We explore how body shapes influence human motion synthesis, an aspect often overlooked in existing text-to-motion generation methods due to the ease of learning a homogenized, canonical body shape. However, this homogenization can distort […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander Ji | First 5 Authors: Fabrícia O. Barbosa, Anirudh Chiti, Guilherme Limberg, Andrew Pace, William Cerny | Summary: The metallicity distribution function and internal chemical variations of a galaxy are fundamental to understand its formation and assembly history. In this work, we analyze photometric metallicities for 3883 stars over seven half-light radii […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Ignas Juodžbalis, Roberto Maiolino, William M. Baker, Emma Curtis Lake, Jan Scholtz | Summary: The depth and coverage of the first years of JWST observations have revealed low luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN) across a wide redshift range, shedding light on black hole (BH) assembly and feedback. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Boyuan Wang, Runqi Ouyang, Xiaofeng Wang, Zheng Zhu, Guosheng Zhao | Summary: Single-image human reconstruction is vital for digital human modeling applications but remains an extremely challenging task. Current approaches rely on generative models to synthesize multi-view images for subsequent 3D reconstruction and animation. However, directly generating […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Ford | First 5 Authors: Grgur Kovač, Grgur Kovač, , , | Summary: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in the creation of online content, creating feedback loops as subsequent generations of models will be trained on this synthetic data. Such loops were shown to lead to distribution shifts – models […]
