Geniculo-Cortical Projection Diversity Revealed within the Mouse Visual Thalamus
(PLOSPLOS ONE, 2016-01-04)
The mouse dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) is an intermediary between retina and primary visual cortex (V1). Recent investigations are beginning to reveal regional complexity in mouse dLGN. Using local injections ...
Convective mass transfer from a submerged drop in a thin falling film
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016-01-25)
We study the fluid mechanics of removing a passive tracer contained in small, viscous drops attached to a flat inclined substrate using thin gravity-driven film flows. A convective mass transfer establishes across the ...
Periodization, translation, prescription and the emergence of Classical French
(WileyTransactions of the Philological Society, 2016-03-17)
In this article we demonstrate how fine-grained analysis of salient features of linguistic change over a relatively short, but significant period can help refine our notions of periodization. As our case study, we consider ...
Motility of Colonial Choanoflagellates and the Statistics of Aggregate Random Walkers
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Letters, 2016-01-22)
We illuminate the nature of the three-dimensional random walks of microorganisms composed of individual organisms adhered together. Such aggregate random walkers are typified by choanoflagellates, eukaryotes that are the ...
Gravity-dominated unequal-mass black hole collisions
(APSPhysical Review D, 2016-02-04)
We continue our series of studies of high-energy collisions of black holes investigating unequalmass, boosted head-on collisions in four dimensions. We show that the fraction of the center-of-mass energy radiated as ...
Exploiting the Feller Coupling for the Ewens Sampling Formula
(Institute of Mathematical StatisticsStatistical Science, 2016-02-10)
Homeostatic Activity-Dependent Tuning of Recurrent Networks for Robust Propagation of Activity
(Society for NeuroscienceJournal of Neuroscience, 2016-03-30)
Developing neuronal networks display spontaneous bursts of action potentials that are necessary for circuit organization and tuning. While spontaneous activity has been shown to instruct map formation in sensory circuits, ...
Structured light enables biomimetic swimming and versatile locomotion of photoresponsive soft microrobots
(Nature Publishing GroupNature Materials, 2016-02-15)
Microorganisms move in challenging environments by periodic changes in body shape. In contrast, current artificial microrobots cannot actively deform, exhibiting at best passive bending under external fields. Here, by ...
Dynamics of laterally confined marine ice sheets
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016-02-03)
We present an experimental and theoretical study of the dynamics of laterally confined marine ice sheets in the natural limit in which the long, narrow channel into which they flow is wider than the depth of the ice. A ...
Quantum communication complexity advantage implies violation of a Bell inequality
(National Academy of SciencesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016-03-08)
We obtain a general connection between a large quantum advantage in communication complexity and Bell non-locality. We show that given any protocol offering a sufficiently large quantum advantage in communication complexity, ...
