Transcranial photoacoustic computed tomography of human brain function

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Yang Zhang, Shuai Na, Karteekeya Sastry, Jonathan J. Russin, Peng Hu | Summary: Herein we report the first in-human transcranial imaging of brain function using photoacoustic computed tomography. Functional responses to benchmark motor tasks were imaged on both the skull-less and the skull-intact hemispheres of a […]

The Evolution and Mass Dependence of Galaxy Cluster Pressure Profiles at 0.05 $le z le$ 0.60 and $4 times 10^{14}$ M$_{odot}$ $le textrm{M}_{500} le 30 times 10^{14}$ M$_{odot}$

Kavli Affiliate: Steven W. Allen | First 5 Authors: Jack Sayers, Adam B. Mantz, Elena Rasia, Steven W. Allen, Weiguang Cui | Summary: We have combined X-ray observations from Chandra with Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect data from Planck and Bolocam to measure intra-cluster medium pressure profiles from 0.03R$_{500}$ $le$ R $le$ 5R$_{500}$ for a sample of […]

Nested sampling for physical scientists

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Lasenby | First 5 Authors: Greg Ashton, Noam Bernstein, Johannes Buchner, Xi Chen, Gábor Csányi | Summary: We review Skilling’s nested sampling (NS) algorithm for Bayesian inference and more broadly multi-dimensional integration. After recapitulating the principles of NS, we survey developments in implementing efficient NS algorithms in practice in high-dimensions, including methods […]

Hippocampal-medial entorhinal circuit is differently organized along the dorsoventral axis in rodents

Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter | Authors: Shinya Ohara, Märt Rannap, Ken-Ichiro Tsutsui, Andreas Draguhn, Alexei V. Egorov and Menno P. Witter | Summary: The general understanding of hippocampal circuits is that the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex (EC) are topographically connected through parallel identical circuits along the dorsoventral axis. Our anterograde tracing and in vitro […]

Collective effects in an incompressible electronic liquid

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Jian-Jian Miao, Hui-Ke Jin, Yi Zhou, , | Summary: Starting from the Landau’s kinetic equation, we show that an electronic liquid in $d=2,3$ dimensions depicted by a Landau type effective theory will become incompressible on condition that the Landau parameters satisfy either (i) $1+F_{1}^{s}/d=0$ or (ii) $F_{0}^{s}to{}+infty$.
