The focal plane instrumentation for the DUNE mission

open access: yes, 2008
DUNE (Dark Universe Explorer) is a proposed mission to measure parameters of dark energy using weak gravitational lensing The particular challenges of both optical and infrared focal planes and the DUNE baseline solution is discussed.

Photometric Redshifts of Submillimeter Galaxies

open access: yes, 2012
We use the photometric redshift method of Chakrabarti & McKee (2008) to infer photometric redshifts of submillimeter galaxies with far-IR (FIR) $\it{Herschel}$ data obtained as part of the PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP) program.

Euclid: Photometric redshift calibration with self-organising maps★

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
The Euclid large-scale weak-lensing survey aims to trace the evolution of cosmic structures up to redshift z ∼ 3 and beyond. Its success depends critically on obtaining highly accurate mean redshifts for ensembles of galaxies n(z) in all tomographic bins,

ATF4‐mediated stress response as a therapeutic vulnerability in chordoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We screened 5 chordoma cell lines against 100+ inhibitors of epigenetic and metabolic pathways and kinases and identified halofuginone, a tRNA synthetase inhibitor. Mechanistically halofuginone induces an integrated stress response, with eIF2alpha phosphorylation, activation of ATF4 and its target genes CHOP, ASNS, INHBE leading to cell death ...

The Microlensing Planet Finder: Completing the Census of Extrasolar Planets in the Milky Way

open access: yes, 2004
The Microlensing Planet Finder (MPF) is a proposed Discovery mission that will complete the first census of extrasolar planets with sensitivity to planets like those in our own solar system.

Phenotypic redshifts with self-organizing maps: A novel method to characterize redshift distributions of source galaxies for weak lensing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Wide-field imaging surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES) rely on coarse measurements of spectral energy distributions in a few filters to estimate the redshift distribution of source galaxies.

Engineered Mycelial Scaffolds With Tunable Ultraviolet Protection, Wettability, Thermal Stability, and Spatial Mechanics

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Fungal mycelia grown into biodegradable scaffolds and infused with titania nanoparticles show enhanced ultraviolet shielding, thermal protection, and surface nonwettability. Properties were tuned by drying methods, revealing structure–function relationships.

A Unified Photometric Redshift Calibration for Weak Lensing Surveys Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The effective redshift distribution n ( z ) of galaxies is a critical component in the study of weak gravitational lensing. Here, we introduce a new method for determining n ( z ) for weak lensing surveys based on high-quality redshifts and neural ...

Modeling sediment compaction beneath ice lenses during frost heave

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
Frost heave occurs when the ground swells during freezing conditions due to the growth of ice lenses in the subsurface. The mechanics of ice-infiltrated sediment, or frozen fringe, influences the formation and evolution of ice lenses. As the frozen fringe thickens during freezing, progressive unloading can result in dilation of the pore space and the ...

Baryons still trace dark matter: probing CMB lensing maps for hidden isocurvature

open access: yes, 2017
Compensated isocurvature perturbations (CIPs) are primordial fluctuations that balance baryon and dark-matter isocurvature to leave the total matter density unperturbed.
