Lesion classification by model-based feature extraction: A differential affine invariant model of soft tissue elasticity

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Weiguo Cao, Marc J. Pomeroy, Zhengrong Liang, Yongfeng Gao, Yongyi Shi | Summary: The elasticity of soft tissues has been widely considered as a characteristic property to differentiate between healthy and vicious tissues and, therefore, motivated several elasticity imaging modalities, such as Ultrasound Elastography, Magnetic Resonance Elastography, […]

A Model Predictive Control Functional Continuous Time Bayesian Network for Self-Management of Multiple Chronic Conditions

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Syed Hasib Akhter Faruqui, Adel Alaeddini, Jing Wang, Susan P Fisher-Hoch, Joseph B Mccormick | Summary: Multiple chronic conditions (MCC) are one of the biggest challenges of modern times. The evolution of MCC follows a complex stochastic process that is influenced by a variety of risk factors, […]

On odd number of fermion zero modes on solitons in quantum field theory and string/M theory

Kavli Affiliate: Taizan Watari | Summary:We argue that having an odd number of Majorana fermion zero modes on a dynamical point-like soliton signifies an inconsistency in a theory with 3+1 and higher dimensions. We check this statement in a couple of examples in field theory and in string/M theory. | Search Query: arXiv Query: search_query=au:”Watari […]

Large deviation principle for stochastic heat equation with general rough noise

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Ruinan Li, Ran Wang, Beibei Zhang, , | Summary: We study Freidlin-Wentzell’s large deviation principle for one dimensional nonlinear stochastic heat equation driven by a Gaussian noise: $$frac{partial u^varepsilon(t,x)}{partial t} = frac{partial^2 u^varepsilon(t,x)}{partial x^2}+sqrt{varepsilon} sigma(t, x, u^varepsilon(t,x))dot{W}(t,x),quad t> 0,, xinmathbb{R},$$ where $dot W$ is white in time […]

Effective Field Theory Analysis of CDMSlite Run 2 Data

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Brink | Summary:CDMSlite Run 2 was a search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with a cryogenic 600 g Ge detector operated in a high-voltage mode to optimize sensitivity to WIMPs of relatively low mass from 2 – 20 GeV/$c^2$. In this article, we present an effective field theory (EFT) analysis of […]

A Taxonomy for the Configurations of Quadruply Lensed Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. Schechter | First 5 Authors: Paul L. Schechter, , , , | Summary: A simple, novice-friendly scheme for classifying the image configurations of quadruply lensed quasars is proposed. With only six classes, it is intentionally coarse-grained. Readers are invited to test drive the scheme on a sample of 12 quadruply lensed […]

The Astrophysical Distance Scale: V. A 2% Distance to the Local Group Spiral M33 via the JAGB Method, Tip of the Red Giant Branch, and Leavitt Law

Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Abigail J. Lee, Laurie Rousseau-Nepton, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni | Summary: The J-region asymptotic giant branch (JAGB) method is a new standard candle that is based on the stable intrinsic J-band magnitude of color-selected carbon stars, and has a precision comparable […]
