Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Vanessa Böhm, Jia Liu, , , | Summary: We study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on astronomy using public records of astronomical publications. We show that COVID-19 has had both positive and negative impacts on research in astronomy. We find that the overall output of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Tianyi Hao, Xuxin Huang, Chunjing Jia, Cheng Peng, | Summary: Combinatorial optimization is of general interest for both theoretical study and real-world applications. Fast-developing quantum algorithms provide a different perspective on solving combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we propose a quantum inspired algorithm for general locally […]

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Salem al-Mosleh, L. Mahadevan, , , | Summary: Growing a flat lamina such as a leaf is almost impossible without some feedback to stabilize long wavelength modes that are easy to trigger since they are energetically cheap. Here we combine the physics of thin elastic plates with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Changhao Wang, Yuyou Zhang, Xiang Zhang, Zheng Wu, Xinghao Zhu | Summary: Manipulating deformable linear objects by robots has a wide range of applications, e.g., manufacturing and medical surgery. To complete such tasks, an accurate dynamics model for predicting the deformation is critical for robust control. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Haojie Hu, Kohei Inayoshi, Zoltán Haiman, Eliot Quataert, Rolf Kuiper | Summary: We study the long-term evolution of the global structure of axisymmetric accretion flows onto a black hole (BH) at rates substantially higher than the Eddington value ($dot{M}_{rm Edd}$), performing two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations with and without […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aneesh Sivasankaran, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey, Luke Zoltan Kelley, Aklant Bhowmick | Summary: We study gas inflows onto supermassive black holes using hydrodynamics simulations of isolated galaxies and idealized galaxy mergers with an explicit, multiphase interstellar medium (ISM). Our simulations use the recently developed ISM and stellar […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Qingping Zheng, Jiankang Deng, Zheng Zhu, Ying Li, Stefanos Zafeiriou | Summary: This paper probes intrinsic factors behind typical failure cases (e.g. spatial inconsistency and boundary confusion) produced by the existing state-of-the-art method in face parsing. To tackle these problems, we propose a novel Decoupled Multi-task Learning […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Giulio Formenti, Linelle Abueg, Angelo Brajuka, Nadolina Brajuka, Cristo Gallardo, Alice Giani, Olivier Fedrigo and Erich D. Jarvis | Summary: Motivation With the current pace at which reference genomes are being produced, the availability of tools that can reliably and efficiently generate genome assembly summary statistics has become critical. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Adam Aron | Authors: Vignesh Muralidharan, Adam R Aron, Micheal X Cohen and Robert Schmidt | Summary: Mid-frontal theta is well-known to be involved in conflict and error-processing. In paradigms known to evoke response conflict, the temporal sequence of events leading up to conflict or error resolution and theta’s involvement in such scenarios […]
