Boas práticas agrícolas.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo fornecer aos produtores informações úteis para a implementação das boas práticas agrícolas, necessárias para assegurar a inocuidade de frutas e hortaliças. Aos produtores nacionais que desejam entrar no mercado de exportação, recomenda-se adotar tais práticas de higiene que lhes darão a vantagem de poder exportar, sem correr o risco da recusa de seus produtos por problemas de contaminações biológicas, químicas ou físicas.bitstream/item/143305/1/ID-31375.pd

The importance of the Ising model

Understanding the relationship which integrable (solvable) models, all of which possess very special symmetry properties, have with the generic non-integrable models that are used to describe real experiments, which do not have the symmetry properties, is one of the most fundamental open questions in both statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. The importance of the two-dimensional Ising model in a magnetic field is that it is the simplest system where this relationship may be concretely studied. We here review the advances made in this study, and concentrate on the magnetic susceptibility which has revealed an unexpected natural boundary phenomenon. When this is combined with the Fermionic representations of conformal characters, it is suggested that the scaling theory, which smoothly connects the lattice with the correlation length scale, may be incomplete for $H \neq 0$.Comment: 33 page

The saga of the Ising susceptibility

We review developments made since 1959 in the search for a closed form for the susceptibility of the Ising model. The expressions for the form factors in terms of the nome $q$ and the modulus $k$ are compared and contrasted. The $\lambda$ generalized correlations $C(M,N;\lambda)$ are defined and explicitly computed in terms of theta functions for $M=N=0,1$.Comment: 19 pages, 1 figur

Dynamic range of hypercubic stochastic excitable media

We study the response properties of d-dimensional hypercubic excitable networks to a stochastic stimulus. Each site, modelled either by a three-state stochastic susceptible-infected-recovered-susceptible system or by the probabilistic Greenberg-Hastings cellular automaton, is continuously and independently stimulated by an external Poisson rate h. The response function (mean density of active sites rho versus h) is obtained via simulations (for d=1, 2, 3, 4) and mean field approximations at the single-site and pair levels (for all d). In any dimension, the dynamic range of the response function is maximized precisely at the nonequilibrium phase transition to self-sustained activity, in agreement with a reasoning recently proposed. Moreover, the maximum dynamic range attained at a given dimension d is a decreasing function of d.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

Poynting Vector Flow in a Circular Circuit

A circuit is considered in the shape of a ring, with a battery of negligible size and a wire of uniform resistance. A linear charge distribution along the wire maintains an electrostatic field and a steady current, which produces a constant magnetic field. Earlier studies of the Poynting vector and the rate of flow of energy considered only idealized geometries in which the Poynting vector was confined to the space within the circuit. But in more realistic cases the Poynting vector is nonzero outside as well as inside the circuit. An expression is obtained for the Poynting vector in terms of products of integrals, which are evaluated numerically to show the energy flow. Limiting expressions are obtained analytically. It is shown that the total power generated by the battery equals the energy flowing into the wire per unit time.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figure
