Membrane Nanodomains Homeostasis During Propofol Anesthesia as Function of Dosage and Temperature

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Zucker | First 5 Authors: Weixiang Jin, Michael Zucker, Arnd Pralle, , | Summary: Some anesthetics bind and potentiate gamma-aminobutyric-acid-type receptors, but no universal mechanism for general anesthesia is known. Furthermore, often encountered complications such as anesthesia induced amnesia are not understood. General anesthetics are hydrophobic molecules easily dissolving into lipid bilayers. […]

Automatic coding of students’ writing via Contrastive Representation Learning in the Wasserstein space

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Ruijie Jiang, Julia Gouvea, David Hammer, Eric Miller, Shuchin Aeron | Summary: Qualitative analysis of verbal data is of central importance in the learning sciences. It is labor-intensive and time-consuming, however, which limits the amount of data researchers can include in studies. This work is a step […]

Two young planetary systems around field stars with ages between 20-320 Myr from TESS

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew M. Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: George Zhou, Samuel N. Quinn, Jonathan Irwin, Chelsea X. Huang, Karen A. Collins | Summary: Planets around young stars trace the early evolution of planetary systems. We report the discovery and validation of two planetary systems with ages $lesssim 300$ Myr from observations by the Transiting […]

Nondestructive Prediction of the Buckling Load of Imperfect Shells

Kavli Affiliate: Shmuel M. Rubinstein | First 5 Authors: Anais Abramian, Emmanuel Virot, Emilio Lozano, Shmuel M. Rubinstein, Tobias M. Schneider | Summary: From soda cans to space rockets, thin-walled cylindrical shells are abundant, offering exceptional load carrying capacity at relatively low weight. However, the actual load at which any shell buckles and collapses is […]

HIRES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | First 5 Authors: Alessandro Marconi, Manuel Abreu, Vardan Adibekyan, Matteo Aliverti, Carlos Allende Prieto | Summary: HIRES will be the high-resolution spectrograph of the European Extremely Large Telescope at optical and near-infrared wavelengths. It consists of three fibre-fed spectrographs providing a wavelength coverage of 0.4-1.8 mic (goal 0.35-1.8 mic) at […]

The axiomatic and the operational approaches to resource theories of magic do not coincide

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Arne Heimendahl, Markus Heinrich, David Gross, , | Summary: Stabiliser operations occupy a prominent role in fault-tolerant quantum computing. They are defined operationally: by the use of Clifford gates, Pauli measurements and classical control. These operations can be efficiently simulated on a classical computer, a result which […]

Unraveling the origin of magnetic fields in galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Harley Katz, Debora Sijacki, Julien Devriendt, Adrianne Slyz | Summary: Despite their ubiquity, there are many open questions regarding galactic and cosmic magnetic fields. Specifically, current observational constraints cannot rule out if magnetic fields observed in galaxies were generated in the Early Universe or are […]

The Magellan-TESS Survey I: Survey Description and Mid-Survey Results

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Johanna Teske, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Angie Wolfgang, Tianjun Gan, Mykhaylo Plotnykov | Summary: $Kepler$ revealed that roughly one-third of Sun-like stars host planets orbiting within 100 days and between the size of Earth and Neptune. How do these planets form, what are they made of, and do […]

Sunspot simulations: penumbra formation and the fluting instability

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Mayukh Panja, Robert Cameron, Sami K. Solanki, , | Summary: The fluting instability has been suggested as the driver of the subsurface structure of sunspot flux tubes. We conducted a series of numerical experiments where we used flux tubes with different initial curvatures to study the effect […]
