Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Fu-Guo Xie, Ramesh Narayan, Feng Yuan, , | Summary: An important parameter in the theory of hot accretion flows around black holes is $delta$, which describes the fraction of “viscously” dissipated energy in the accretion flow that directly heats the electrons. The radiative efficiency of a hot […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Harshitha Machiraju, Oh-Hyeon Choung, Michael Herzog, Pascal Frossard | Summary: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved superhuman performance in multiple vision tasks, especially image classification. However, unlike humans, CNNs leverage spurious features, such as background information to make decisions. This tendency creates different problems in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Wenxiu Li, Kohei Inayoshi, Masafusa Onoue, Daisuke Toyouchi, | Summary: The early evolution of the quasar luminosity function (QLF) and black hole mass function (BHMF) encodes key information on the physics determining the radiative and accretion processes of supermassive black holes (BHs) in high-$z$ quasars. Although the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Xiaoyu Lai, Chengjun Xia, Renxin Xu, , | Summary: Our world is wonderful because of the normal but negligibly small baryonic part (i.e., atoms) although unknown dark matter and dark energy dominate the Universe. A stable atomic nucleus could be simply termed as “strong matter” since its […]
Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Camille Landri, Ondřej Pejcha, Michał Pawlak, Andrzej Udalski, Jose L. Prieto | Summary: We present the analysis of existing optical photometry and new optical spectroscopy of the candidate cataclysmic variable star OGLE-BLG504.12.201843. As was shown previously, this object has an orbital period of 0.523419 days and exhibits […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Michael Dohopolski, Kai Wang, Biling Wang, Ti Bai, Dan Nguyen | Summary: Prediction uncertainty estimation has clinical significance as it can potentially quantify prediction reliability. Clinicians may trust ‘blackbox’ models more if robust reliability information is available, which may lead to more models being adopted into clinical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Kai Wang, Yunxiang Li, Michael Dohopolski, Tao Peng, Weiguo Lu | Summary: For Head and Neck Cancers (HNC) patient management, automatic gross tumor volume (GTV) segmentation and accurate pre-treatment cancer recurrence prediction are of great importance to assist physicians in designing personalized management plans, which have the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Qing Wang, Youyou Lu, Jing Wang, Jiwu Shu, | Summary: Combining persistent memory (PM) with RDMA is a promising approach to performant replicated distributed key-value stores (KVSs). However, existing replication approaches do not work well when applied to PM KVSs: 1) Using RPC induces software queueing and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Hikaru Fukuchi, Kohei Ichikawa, Masayuki Akiyama, Claudio Ricci, Sunmyon Chon | Summary: H1821+643 is the most X-ray luminous non-beamed AGN of $L_mathrm{14-150 keV}= 5.2times 10^{45}$ erg s$^{-1}$ in the Swift/BAT ultra-hard X-ray survey and it is also a hyper-luminous infrared (IR) galaxy $L_mathrm{IR} = 10^{13.2} L_odot$ residing […]
