We propose an alternative scenario for the axion misalignment mechanism based on nontrivial interplay between and a light dilaton in early universe. Dark matter abundance is still sourced by initial of field, whose motion along potential kicks field away from its minimum, starts to oscillate later with delayed onset time oscillation relatively large value due kick; eventually dominates over the...

Recent calculations of the recoil velocity in binary black hole mergers have found the kick velocity to be of the order of a few hundred km/s in the case of non-spinning binaries and about 500 km/s in the case of spinning configurations, and have lead to predictions of a maximum kick of up to 1300 km/s. We test these predictions and demonstrate that kick velocities of at least 2500 km/s are pos...

Gambles in casinos are usually set up so that the casino makes a profit in expectation—as long as gamblers play honestly. However, some gamblers are able to cheat, reducing the casino’s profit. How should the casino address this? A common strategy is to selectively kick gamblers out, possibly even without being sure that they were cheating. In this paper, we address the following question. Base...

As photographing and video parsing techniques improved, it provides a boost for taekwondo technical researching. This paper make analysis of every stage features of back kick skills by using video parsing data, then based on analysis human gravity shifting features and relative features between hip angle and kick velocity in motion process, through analysis of each link of lower limbs’ velocity...

Use of reliable density maps is crucial for rapid and successful crystal structure determination. Here, the averaged kick (AK) map approach is investigated, its application is generalized and it is compared with other map-calculation methods. AK maps are the sum of a series of kick maps, where each kick map is calculated from atomic coordinates modified by random shifts. As such, they are a num...

The quasar HE0450-2958 was recently discovered to reside ∼ 7 kpc away from a galaxy that was likely disturbed by a recent merger. The lack of a massive spheroid of stars around the quasar raised the unlikely suggestion that it may have formed in a dark galaxy. Here we explain this discovery as a natural consequence of a dynamical kick imparted to the quasar as it interacted with a binary black ...

We demonstrate that a natural consequence of an asymmetric kick imparted to neutron stars at birth is that the majority of double neutron star binaries should possess highly eccentric orbits. This leads to greatly accelerated orbital decay, due to the enormous increase in the emission of gravitational radiation at periastron as originally demonstrated by Peters (1964). A uniform distribution of...

We present a comparative evaluation of automatic classification of a sound database containing more than six hundred drum sounds (kick, snare, hihat, toms and cymbals). A preliminary set of fifty descriptors has been refined with the help of different techniques and some final reduced sets including around twenty features have been selected as the most relevant. We have then tested different cl...

The Gap Voltage Feed-Forward (GVFF) Module produces adaptively generated inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) reference signals for a single RF station. This module measures the periodic (1-turn) beam induced cavity transients caused by the presence of an ion clearing gap in the beam. A reference waveform is generated to minimize the direct feedback error signal transient caused by the gap. In additi...

This paper proposes a method to develop an omnidirectional kick behavior for a humanoid robot. The objective is to provide a humanoid with the ability to kick in different directions and to make kicks look more like those of a human player. This method uses a Path Planning module to create the trajectory that the foot must follow to propel the ball in the intended direction. Two additional modu...
