Physical properties of the Schur complement of local covariance matrices
General properties of global covariance matrices representing bipartite
Gaussian states can be decomposed into properties of local covariance matrices
and their Schur complements. We demonstrate that given a bipartite Gaussian
state described by a covariance matrix \textbf{V}, the
Schur complement of a local covariance submatrix of it can be
interpreted as a new covariance matrix representing a Gaussian operator of
party 1 conditioned to local parity measurements on party 2. The connection
with a partial parity measurement over a bipartite quantum state and the
determination of the reduced Wigner function is given and an operational
process of parity measurement is developed. Generalization of this procedure to
a -partite Gaussian state is given and it is demonstrated that the
system state conditioned to a partial parity projection is given by a
covariance matrix such as its block elements are Schur complements
of special local matrices.Comment: 10 pages. Replaced with final published versio
Simulação de dados meteorológicos para avaliação de impactos de mudanças climáticas na agricultura.
Neste trabalho foi utilizado o simulador climático LARS-WG. Esse simulador é baseado em um modelo semiempírico, ou seja, para o processo há a utilização de parâmetros estatísticos em sua formulação e também a necessidade de calibrações para as devidas aplicações
Alternate islands of multiple isochronous chains in wave-particle interactions
We analyze the dynamics of a relativistic particle moving in a uniform
magnetic field and perturbed by a standing electrostatic wave. We show that a
pulsed wave produces an infinite number of perturbative terms with the same
winding number, which may generate islands in the same region of phase space.
As a consequence, the number of isochronous island chains varies as a function
of the wave parameters. We observe that in all the resonances, the number of
chains is related to the amplitude of the various resonant terms. We determine
analytically the position of the periodic points and the number of island
chains as a function of the wave number and wave period. Such information is
very important when one is concerned with regular particle acceleration, since
it is necessary to adjust the initial conditions of the particle to obtain the
maximum acceleration.Comment: Submitte
Efficiency of distinct data mining algorithms for classifying stress level in piglets from their vocalization.
ABSTRACT: Among the challenges of pig farming in today's competitive market, there is factor of the product traceability that ensures, among many points, animal welfare. Vocalization is a valuable tool to identify situations of stress in pigs, and it can be used in welfare records for traceability. The objective of this work was to identify stress in piglets using vocalization, calling this stress on three levels: no stress, moderate stress, and acute stress. An experiment was conducted on a commercial farm in the municipality of Holambra, São Paulo State , where vocalizations of twenty piglets were recorded during the castration procedure, and separated into two groups: without anesthesia and local anesthesia with lidocaine base. For the recording of acoustic signals, a unidirectional microphone was connected to a digital recorder, in which signals were digitized at a frequency of 44,100 Hz. For evaluation of sound signals, Praat software was used, and different data mining algorithms were applied using Weka software. The selection of attributes improved model accuracy, and the best attribute selection was used by applying Wrapper method, while the best classification algorithms were the k-NN and Naive Bayes. According to the results, it was possible to classify the level of stress in pigs through their vocalization
