Modeling Star Formation Histories of Changing-Look AGN Host Galaxies with Prospector
Changing-look active galactic nuclei, or CL-AGN, are AGN which appear to transition between Seyfert Type 1 and 2 over periods of months to years. Several mechanisms to trigger these transitions have been proposed, but we have yet to conclusively determine their cause. Recent studies suggest CL-AGN are hosted primarily in galaxies which are shutting down star formation (Dodd et al. 2021; Liu et al. 2021, Wang et al. 2023), which may indicate a link between galaxy quenching and changing look even…

Simultaneous hypothesis testing for comparing many functional means
Data with multiple functional recordings at each observational unit are increasingly common in various fields including medical imaging and environmental sciences. To conduct inference for such observations, we develop a paired two-sample test that allows to simultaneously compare the means of many functional observations while maintaining family-wise error rate control. We explicitly allow the number of functional recordings to increase, potentially much faster than the sample size. Our test i…

Coincident Learning for Beam-based RF Station Fault Identification Using Phase Information at the SLAC Linac Coherent Light Source
Anomalies in radio-frequency (RF) stations can result in unplanned downtime and performance degradation in linear accelerators such as SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Detecting these anomalies is challenging due to the complexity of accelerator systems, high data volume, and scarcity of labeled fault data. Prior work identified faults using beam-based detection, combining RF amplitude and beam-position monitor data. Due to the simplicity of the RF amplitude data, classical methods ar…

A Service Architecture for Dataspaces
Dataspaces are designed to support sovereign, trusted and decentralized data exchange between participants forming an ecosystem. They are standardized by initiatives such as the International Data Spaces Association or Gaia-X and have gained adoption in several domains such as mobility, manufacturing, tourism or culture. In dataspaces, participants use connectors to communicate peer-to-peer. The Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) Connector is a broadly adopted, open-source implementation that a…

Ooh, *protected* bus lane! NYC was supposed to be building a bunch of these, but instead we elected a dickhead cop as mayor. Oh well! 🤷‍♂️

In vivo imaging of central nervous system fluid spaces using synchrotron radiation-based micro computed tomography
Current approaches to in vivo imaging of the mouse central nervous system (CNS) do not offer a combination of micrometer resolution and a whole-brain field of view. To address this limitation, we introduce an approach based on synchrotron radiation-based hard X-ray micro computed tomography (SR$μ$CT). We performed intravital SR$μ$CT acquisitions of mouse CNS fluid spaces at three synchrotron radiation facilities. Imaging was conducted on both anesthetized free-breathing and ventilated animals…
