Automated 3D analysis of social head-gaze behaviors in freely moving marmosets

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Feng Xing, Alec Graham Sheffield, Monika P. Jadi, Steve W. C. Chang and Anirvan S. Nandy | Summary: Social communication relies on the ability to perceive and interpret the direction of others’ attention, which is commonly conveyed through head orientation and gaze direction in both humans and non-human primates. […]

Evidence for Episodic Black Hole Growth of Reionization-Era Quasars observed with Magellan/FIRE

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Leah Bigwood, Anna-Christina Eilers, Robert A. Simcoe, , | Summary: Observations of high-redshift quasars hosting billion solar mass black holes at $zgtrsim6$ challenge our understanding of early supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. In this work, we conduct a near-infrared spectroscopic study of $19$ quasars at $6.2lesssim […]

Alternative translation initiation produces synaptic organizer proteoforms with distinct localization and functions

Kavli Affiliate: Marina Picciotto | Authors: Paul Jongseo Lee, Alexa R Soares, Yu Sun, Caroline Fai, Marina Picciotto and Junjie U Guo | Summary: While previous studies suggest that many mRNAs contain more than one translation initiation site (TIS), the biological significance of most alternative TISs and their corresponding protein isoforms (proteoforms) remains undetermined. Here […]

Hierarchical Prior-based Super Resolution for Point Cloud Geometry Compression

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Dingquan Li, Kede Ma, Jing Wang, Ge Li, | Summary: The Geometry-based Point Cloud Compression (G-PCC) has been developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group to compress point clouds. In its lossy mode, the reconstructed point cloud by G-PCC often suffers from noticeable distortions due to the […]

Low-Dose CT Reconstruction Using Dataset-free Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Renfang Wang, Bo Yang, Hong Qiu, | Summary: Low-Dose computer tomography (LDCT) is an ideal alternative to reduce radiation risk in clinical applications. Although supervised-deep-learning-based reconstruction methods have demonstrated superior performance compared to conventional model-driven reconstruction algorithms, they require collecting massive pairs of low-dose and […]

A ratiometric ER calcium sensor for quantitative comparisons across cell types and subcellular regions

Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan, Timothy Brown | Authors: Ryan J Farrell, Kirsten G Bredvik, Michael Blake Hoppa, S Thomas Hennegan, Timothy A Brown and Timothy A Ryan | Summary: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an important regulator of Ca2+ in cells and dysregulation of ER calcium homeostasis can lead to numerous pathologies. Understanding how […]

Universal Prompt Optimizer for Safe Text-to-Image Generation

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Zongyu Wu, Hongcheng Gao, Yueze Wang, Xiang Zhang, Suhang Wang | Summary: Text-to-Image (T2I) models have shown great performance in generating images based on textual prompts. However, these models are vulnerable to unsafe input to generate unsafe content like sexual, harassment and illegal-activity images. Existing studies based […]

Morphology and Mach Number Dependence of Subsonic Bondi-Hoyle Accretion

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Logan J. Prust, Hila Glanz, Lars Bildsten, Hagai B. Perets, Friedrich K. Roepke | Summary: We carry out three-dimensional computations of the accretion rate onto an object (of size $R_{rm sink}$ and mass $m$) as it moves through a uniform medium at a subsonic speed $v_{infty}$. The […]
