Percolation Threshold, Fisher Exponent, and Shortest Path Exponent for 4 and 5 Dimensions

We develop a method of constructing percolation clusters that allows us to build very large clusters using very little computer memory by limiting the maximum number of sites for which we maintain state information to a number of the order of the number of sites in the largest chemical shell of the cluster being created. The memory required to grow a cluster of mass s is of the order of $s^\theta$ bytes where $\theta$ ranges from 0.4 for 2-dimensional lattices to 0.5 for 6- (or higher)-dimensional lattices. We use this method to estimate $d_{\scriptsize min}$, the exponent relating the minimum path $\ell$ to the Euclidean distance r, for 4D and 5D hypercubic lattices. Analyzing both site and bond percolation, we find $d_{\scriptsize min}=1.607\pm 0.005$ (4D) and $d_{\scriptsize min}=1.812\pm 0.006$ (5D). In order to determine $d_{\scriptsize min}$ to high precision, and without bias, it was necessary to first find precise values for the percolation threshold, $p_c$: $p_c=0.196889\pm 0.000003$ (4D) and $p_c=0.14081\pm 0.00001$ (5D) for site and $p_c=0.160130\pm 0.000003$ (4D) and $p_c=0.118174\pm 0.000004$ (5D) for bond percolation. We also calculate the Fisher exponent, $\tau$, determined in the course of calculating the values of $p_c$: $\tau=2.313\pm 0.003$ (4D) and $\tau=2.412\pm 0.004$ (5D)

Economic results of the integrated crop-livestock systems implementation in degraded pastures in Pium, TO, Brazil.

In Pium, Tocantins state, Brazil, in 2012 Embrapa developed a technology transference project in partnership with the state?s rural extension service for the consolidation of low carbon emissions agriculture. The goal was to recover the degraded grasslands of the Trigueira farm (49°1'37.44"W and 10°24'58.84"S) with low cost using a crop-livestock system

Master Operators Govern Multifractality in Percolation

Using renormalization group methods we study multifractality in percolation at the instance of noisy random resistor networks. We introduce the concept of master operators. The multifractal moments of the current distribution (which are proportional to the noise cumulants $C_R^{(l)} (x, x^\prime)$ of the resistance between two sites x and $x^\prime$ located on the same cluster) are related to such master operators. The scaling behavior of the multifractal moments is governed exclusively by the master operators, even though a myriad of servant operators is involved in the renormalization procedure. We calculate the family of multifractal exponents ${\psi_l}$ for the scaling behavior of the noise cumulants, $C_R^{(l)} (x, x^\prime) \sim | x - x^\prime |^{\psi_l /\nu}$, where $\nu$ is the correlation length exponent for percolation, to two-loop order.Comment: 6 page

Advances in technology transference: the experience of integrated crop-livestock-forestry (ICLF) adoption in Tocantins State.

In 2010 the Brazilian Government established a goal to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by agriculture from 36.1 up to 38.9% in ten years (2010 -2020). To contribute for reaching part of this purpose in Tocantins State, Embrapa and other research and extension services partners have been conducting a project of technology transference on sustainable agricultural practices, including integrated crop-livestock-forestry (ICLF), since 2012

Logarithmic Corrections in Dynamic Isotropic Percolation

Based on the field theoretic formulation of the general epidemic process we study logarithmic corrections to scaling in dynamic isotropic percolation at the upper critical dimension d=6. Employing renormalization group methods we determine these corrections for some of the most interesting time dependent observables in dynamic percolation at the critical point up to and including the next to leading correction. For clusters emanating from a local seed at the origin we calculate the number of active sites, the survival probability as well as the radius of gyration.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, version to appear in Phys.

Diluted Networks of Nonlinear Resistors and Fractal Dimensions of Percolation Clusters

We study random networks of nonlinear resistors, which obey a generalized Ohm's law, $V\sim I^r$. Our renormalized field theory, which thrives on an interpretation of the involved Feynman Diagrams as being resistor networks themselves, is presented in detail. By considering distinct values of the nonlinearity r, we calculate several fractal dimensions characterizing percolation clusters. For the dimension associated with the red bonds we show that $d_{\scriptsize red} = 1/\nu$ at least to order {\sl O} (\epsilon^4), with $\nu$ being the correlation length exponent, and $\epsilon = 6-d$, where d denotes the spatial dimension. This result agrees with a rigorous one by Coniglio. Our result for the chemical distance, d_{\scriptsize min} = 2 - \epsilon /6 - [ 937/588 + 45/49 (\ln 2 -9/10 \ln 3)] (\epsilon /6)^2 + {\sl O} (\epsilon^3) verifies a previous calculation by one of us. For the backbone dimension we find D_B = 2 + \epsilon /21 - 172 \epsilon^2 /9261 + 2 (- 74639 + 22680 \zeta (3))\epsilon^3 /4084101 + {\sl O} (\epsilon^4), where $\zeta (3) = 1.202057...$, in agreement to second order in $\epsilon$ with a two-loop calculation by Harris and Lubensky.Comment: 29 pages, 7 figure

On the relevance of percolation theory to the vulcanization transition

The relationship between vulcanization and percolation is explored from the perspective of renormalized local field theory. We show rigorously that the vulcanization and percolation correlation functions are governed by the same Gell--Mann-Low renormalization group equation. Hence, all scaling aspects of the vulcanization transition are reigned by the critical exponents of the percolation universality class.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure

The risk analysis use supporting decision-making process on crop-livestock systems in Tocantins State, Brazil.

Decision-making about which crops will compose the crop-livestock system is an extremely important process for success integrated production. This case study aims to present the Monte Carlo (Boyle, 1977) risk analysis as a tool to support this process
