Sensory-motor delays vary over the course of development and under different environmental conditions. Previous research has shown that humans can compensate for the resulting temporal misalignment while performing sensory-motor tasks (e.g., Cunningham, Billock, & Tsou, 2001a), but remains silent on the question of whether perceptual learning-similar to that involved in adaptation to spatial mi...

Spin–orbit misalignment in coalescing compact binaries affects their gravitational radiation waveforms. When the misalignment angles are large (∼> 30 ◦), the detection efficiency of the coalescence events can decrease significantly if the misalignment effects are not modeled. In this paper, we consider the formation of close compact binaries and calculate the expected misalignment angles after ...

This paper presents the dosimetry of a wireless power transfer (WPT) system using magnetically coupled high-resonance phenomenon under the misalignment condition. The power transfer efficiency is investigated in the misalignment between the transmitter and receiver, as well as in the alignment. Additionally, the power transfer efficiency at various misaligned distances is also investigated unde...

We model a two-eye visual environment composed of natural images and study its effect on single cell synaptic modification. In particular, we study the effect of binocular cortical misalignment on receptive field formation after eye opening. We show that binocular misalignment affects principal component analysis (PCA) and Bienenstock, Cooper, and Munro (BCM) learning in different ways. For the...

The stability condition of a resonator formed by a 900 cone and mirror has been derived using ray tracing techniques. The result showed that this type of resonator is relatively insensitive to mirror misalignment. From this basis, the mirror misalignment tolerance was studied experimentally. Output energy and transverse mode characteristics vs. misalignment were measured, and the results show t...

Many exoplanetary systems containing hot Jupiters (HJs) exhibit significant misalignment between the spin axes of the host stars and the orbital angular momentum axes of the planets (“spin-orbit misalignment”). High-eccentricity migration involving LidovKozai oscillations of the planet’s orbit induced by a distant perturber is a possible channel for producing such misaligned HJ systems. Previou...

This paper studies the impact of interference asynchrony among different links in a wireless network. Without deliberate coordination and cooperation among the active links, there is a naturally occurring misalignment between the symbols of the targeted signal of a receiver and the symbols of the interfering signals. Interestingly, we show that the interference asynchrony can actually improve t...

This document describes the simulation of the misalignment scenarios for the CMS tracking devices in the framework of the CMS reconstruction package ORCA. We provide first estimates of the expected alignment uncertainties at different stages of the CMS operation, which can be used to study the impact of misalignment on the tracking performance. A few examples of this impact of misalignment on t...

To enhance neuro-navigation, high quality pre-operative images must be registered onto intra-operative configuration of the brain. Therefore evaluation of the degree to which structures may remain misaligned after registration is critically important. We consider two Hausdorff Distance (HD)-based evaluation approaches: the edge-based HD (EBHD) metric and the Robust HD (RHD) metric as well as va...

Misalignment of repeated sequences during DNA replication can lead to deletions or duplications in genomic DNA. In Escherichia coli, such genetic rearrangements can occur at high frequencies, independent of the RecA-homologous recombination protein, and are sometimes associated with sister chromosome exchange (SCE). Two mechanisms for RecA-independent genetic rearrangements have been proposed: ...
