The axion field, the angular direction of complex scalar field associated with spontaneous symmetry breaking Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry, could have originated initial non-zero velocity. presence a velocity resulting from additional terms in potential that explicitly break PQ has important phenomenological consequences such as modification mass respect to conventional framework or an explanation...

Abstract We present evidence for scale-independent misalignment of interstellar dust filaments and magnetic fields. estimate the by comparing millimeter-wave dust-polarization measurements from Planck with filamentary structures identified in neutral-hydrogen (H i ) H 4PI. find that angle displays a scale independence (harmonic coherence) features larger than 4PI beamwidth (16.′2). additionally...

The conventional misalignment mechanism for scalar dark matter depends on the initial field value, which governs oscillation amplitude and present-day abundance. We discuss a by feeble coupling of to fermion in thermal equilibrium drives toward its high-temperature potential minimum at large values, dynamically generating before oscillations begin. Unlike production, abundance is dictated micro...

PURPOSE To assess axis alignment and stability of the Toric Implantable Collamer Lens (TICL; STAAR Surgical Co) over time. METHODS Thirty-five consecutive eyes of 19 patients received the TICL for treatment of myopic astigmatism. Manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) and manifest refractive cylinder were measured preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively. The axis alignment of ...

Recent work examined five-year-old children’s perceptual sensitivity to musical beat alignment. In this work, children watched pairs of videos of puppets drumming to music with simple or complex metre, where one puppet’s drumming sounds (and movements) were synchronized with the beat of the music and the other drummed with incorrect tempo or phase. The videos were used to maintain children’s in...

Glucose tolerance is lower in the evening and at night than in the morning. However, the relative contribution of the circadian system vs. the behavioral cycle (including the sleep/wake and fasting/feeding cycles) is unclear. Furthermore, although shift work is a diabetes risk factor, the separate impact on glucose tolerance of the behavioral cycle, circadian phase, and circadian disruption (i....
