Perfil dos pescadores esportivos do Sul do Pantanal.
Relatam-se e discutem-se os resultados de um levantamento feito atraves de questionario oral a 493 pescadores esportivos durante a alta temporada de pesca de 1994 no sul do Pantanal. O questionario levantou informacoes socio-economicas, custos e historico das viagens, gastos durante as visitas, razoes da visita e outros aspectos da experiencia de lazer no Pantanal. As principais caracteristicas dos gastos dos pescadores esportivos foram analisadas atraves de tres modelos de regressao linear. Os resultados indicam que a pesca esportiva no sul do Pantanal e realizada por grupos de homens de meia-idade, casados e com educacao formal e situacao economica superior em relacao ao que e tipico no Brasil. Em media, os pescadores ja visitaram a regiao quatro vezes. Realizam viagens de 2.700km, permanecendo seis dias, gastando US$970.00 e capturando 25kg de peixes cada um, por viagem, em media. Em geral, quando maior o nivel de escolaridade, de sucesso na pescaria, de renda, meio de transporte aereo e maior a distancia do local de origem ao Pantanal, maiores os gastos preditos por viagem e por dia. O sucesso da pescaria esta mais altamente correlacionado com a idade e o nivel de escolaridade do pescador e, ao contrario do pensamento convencional, nao correlacionado com os gastos, experiencia anterior no local, ou uma paixao por pesca. Independente do sucesso na captura, cerca de 22% dos pescadores compraram peixes antes de retornar a sua regiao de origem. Os gastos diretos totais relacionados as visitas de principal razao para o pescador esportivo visitar o Pantanal sul e o ambiente natural unico e nao a pesca. Esta informacao tem relevancia para o desenvolvimento do turismo regional, para os esforcos de "marketing" e para os objetivos de administracao dos recursos naturais do Pantanal. Alem disso, aqueles motivados para visitar o Pantanal principalmente por turismo contemplativo (observar o ambiente natural e a vida selvagem), gastam significativamente mais nas viagens do que aqueles motivados primariamente pelo sucesso potencial da pescaria ou pelo lazer.bitstream/item/37574/1/CT24.pd
Decidability of the Monadic Shallow Linear First-Order Fragment with Straight Dismatching Constraints
The monadic shallow linear Horn fragment is well-known to be decidable and
has many application, e.g., in security protocol analysis, tree automata, or
abstraction refinement. It was a long standing open problem how to extend the
fragment to the non-Horn case, preserving decidability, that would, e.g.,
enable to express non-determinism in protocols. We prove decidability of the
non-Horn monadic shallow linear fragment via ordered resolution further
extended with dismatching constraints and discuss some applications of the new
decidable fragment.Comment: 29 pages, long version of CADE-26 pape

Forming and confining of dipolar excitons by quantizing magnetic fields
We show that a magnetic field perpendicular to an AlGaAs/GaAs coupled quantum
well efficiently traps dipolar excitons and leads to the stabilization of the
excitonic formation and confinement in the illumination area. Hereby, the
density of dipolar excitons is remarkably enhanced up to . By means of Landau level spectroscopy we study the density of excess
holes in the illuminated region. Depending on the excitation power and the
applied electric field, the hole density can be tuned over one order of
magnitude up to - a value comparable with typical
carrier densities in modulation-doped structures.Comment: 4.3 Pages, 4 Figure
Long exciton spin memory in coupled quantum wells
Spatially indirect excitons in a coupled quantum well structure were studied
by means of polarization and time resolved photoluminescence. A strong degree
of circular polarization (> 50%) in emission was achieved when the excitation
energy was tuned into resonance with the direct exciton state. The indirect
transition remained polarized several tens of nanoseconds after the pumping
laser pulse, demonstrating directly a very long relaxation time of exciton
spin. The observed spin memory effect exceeds the radiative lifetime of the
indirect excitons.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Irradiation of Materials with Short, Intense Ion pulses at NDCX-II
We present an overview of the performance of the Neutralized Drift
Compression Experiment-II (NDCX-II) accelerator at Berkeley Lab, and report on
recent target experiments on beam driven melting and transmission ion energy
loss measurements with nanosecond and millimeter-scale ion beam pulses and thin
tin foils. Bunches with around 10^11 ions, 1-mm radius, and 2-30 ns FWHM
duration have been created with corresponding fluences in the range of 0.1 to
0.7 J/cm^2. To achieve these short pulse durations and mm-scale focal spot
radii, the 1.1 MeV He+ ion beam is neutralized in a drift compression section,
which removes the space charge defocusing effect during final compression and
focusing. The beam space charge and drift compression techniques resemble
necessary beam conditions and manipulations in heavy ion inertial fusion
accelerators. Quantitative comparison of detailed particle-in-cell simulations
with the experiment play an important role in optimizing accelerator
performance.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figures. revised manuscript submitted to Laser and

Absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy on a single self-assembled charge-tunable quantum dot
We have performed detailed photoluminescence (PL) and absorption spectroscopy
on the same single self-assembled quantum dot in a charge-tunable device. The
transition from neutral to charged exciton in the PL occurs at a more negative
voltage than the corresponding transition in absorption. We have developed a
model of the Coulomb blockade to account for this observation. At large
negative bias, the absorption broadens as a result of electron and hole
tunneling. We observe resonant features in this regime whenever the quantum dot
hole level is resonant with two-dimensional hole states located at the capping
layer-blocking barrier interface in our structure.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Spin dependent fragmentation functions at Belle
The Belle detector at the KEKB e+e− collider provides large
amounts of statistics to study the fragmentation of light quarks into final state hadrons. In addition to unpolarized fragmentation functions also spin dependent fragmentation can be studied. Belle has successfully extracted asymmetries related to the Collins and interference fagmentation functions for charged pions
Variation in hybrid gene expression: Implications for the evolution of genetic incompatibilities in interbreeding species
Interbreeding species often produce low-fitness hybrids due to genetic incompatibilities between parental genomes. Whether these incompatibilities reflect fixed allelic differences between hybridizing species, or, alternatively, standing variants that segregate within them, remains unknown for many natural systems. Yet, evaluating these alternatives is important for understanding the origins and nature of species boundaries. We examined these alternatives using spadefoot toads (genus Spea), which naturally hybridize. Specifically, we contrasted patterns of gene expression in hybrids relative to pure-species types in experimentally produced tadpoles from allopatric parents versus those from sympatric parents. We evaluated the prediction that segregating variation should result in gene expression differences between hybrids derived from sympatric parents versus hybrids derived from allopatric parents, and found that 24% of the transcriptome showed such differences. Our results further suggest that gene expression in hybrids has evolved in sympatry owing to evolutionary pressures associated with ongoing hybridization. Although we did not measure hybrid incompatibilities directly, we discuss the implications of our findings for understanding the nature of hybrid incompatibilities, how they might vary across populations over time, and the resulting effects on the evolutionary maintenance - or breakdown - of reproductive barriers between species
