Extremophiles in Space Exploration. [PDF]
Indian J MicrobiolIn the era of deep space exploration, extremophile research represents a key area of research w.r.t space survival. This review thus delves into the intriguing realm of 'Space and Astro Microbiology', providing insights into microbial survival, resilience, and behavioral adaptations in space-like environments.

LASER: LLM Agent with State-Space Exploration for Web Navigation [PDF]
arXiv.org, 2023 Large language models (LLMs) have been successfully adapted for interactive decision-making tasks like web navigation. While achieving decent performance, previous methods implicitly assume a forward-only execution mode for the model, where they only ...

GNN-Surrogate: A Hierarchical and Adaptive Graph Neural Network for Parameter Space Exploration of Unstructured-Mesh Ocean Simulations [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2022 We propose GNN-Surrogate, a graph neural network-based surrogate model to explore the parameter space of ocean climate simulations. Parameter space exploration is important for domain scientists to understand the influence of input parameters (e.g., wind

PULSE: Self-Supervised Photo Upsampling via Latent Space Exploration of Generative Models [PDF]
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2020 The primary aim of single-image super-resolution is to construct a high-resolution (HR) image from a corresponding low-resolution (LR) input. In previous approaches, which have generally been supervised, the training objective typically measures a pixel ...

An MCMC approach to extracting the global 21‐cm signal during the cosmic dawn from sky‐averaged radio observations [PDF]
, 2011 Efforts are being made to observe the 21-cm signal from the ‘cosmic dawn’ using sky-averaged observations with individual radio dipoles. In this paper, we develop a model of the observations accounting for the 21-cm signal, foregrounds and several major ...

Fungal foraging behaviour and hyphal space exploration in micro-structured Soil Chips
The ISME Journal, 2021 How do fungi navigate through the complex microscopic maze-like structures found in the soil? Fungal behaviour, especially at the hyphal scale, is largely unknown and challenging to study in natural habitats such as the opaque soil matrix.
