We argue that in the high energy QCD a true black disk wave function consists not only of many gluons but also from many quarks. This corresponds to necessity of nonvacuum reggeon loops in formation of a black disk. The result comes from decomposition of the black disk S-matrix in characters on group manifold. Usually black disk defined as some dense state, which absorbs any projectile. In this...

Mean glandular dose (MGD) is the main dosimetric quantity in mammography. MGD evaluation is obtained by multiplying the entrance skin air kerma (ESAK) by normalized glandular dose (DgN) coefficients. While ESAK is an empirical quantity, DgN coefficients can only be estimated with Monte Carlo (MC) methods. Thus, a MC parameters benchmark is needed for effectively evaluating DgN coefficients. GEA...

Embodied conversational agents (ECAs) provide one possible way of incorporating nonverbal portion of speech into voice based user interfaces. Part of agent’s visual behavior and its appearance is often solved “statically.” There is another possibility to change appearance – dynamically (for example head or eye movements, mouth opening, etc.). Our hypothesis is that some “dynamic” parameters are...

As one of the most important components of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV), the design of an energy-efficient flapping-wing has been a research interest recently. Research on insect flight from different perspectives has been carried out, mainly with regard to wing morphology, flapping kinematics, and unsteady aerodynamics. However, the link between the wing morphology and kinematics ...

In this paper we implement GAs that have one or more parameters that are adjusted during the run. In particular we use an existing self-adaptive mutation rate mechanism, propose a new mechanism for self-adaptive crossover rates, and redesign an existing variable population size model. We compare the simple GA with GAs featuring only one of the parameter adjusting mechanisms and with a GA that a...
