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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Gaochao Liu, Yang Huang, Sarah Ann Bird, Huawei Zhang, Fei Wang | Summary: Based on a large spectroscopic sample of $sim$ 4,300 RR Lyrae stars with metallicity, systemic radial velocity and distance measurements, we present a detailed analysis of the chemical and kinematic properties of the Galactic […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiao Li, Cheng Li, H. J. Mo, Ting Xiao, Jing Wang | Summary: We present a new HI mass estimator which relates the HI-to-stellar mass ratio to four galaxy properties: stellar surface mass density, color index $u-r$, stellar mass and concentration index, with the scatter of individual […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhuoran Liu, Leqi Zou, Xuan Zou, Caihua Wang, Biao Zhang | Summary: Building a scalable and real-time recommendation system is vital for many businesses driven by time-sensitive customer feedback, such as short-videos ranking or online ads. Despite the ubiquitous adoption of production-scale deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow […]
