Truncated states obtained by iteration
Quantum states of the electromagnetic field are of considerable importance,
finding potential application in various areas of physics, as diverse as solid
state physics, quantum communication and cosmology. In this paper we introduce
the concept of truncated states obtained via iterative processes (TSI) and
study its statistical features, making an analogy with dynamical systems theory
(DST). As a specific example, we have studied TSI for the doubling and the
logistic functions, which are standard functions in studying chaos. TSI for
both the doubling and logistic functions exhibit certain similar patterns when
their statistical features are compared from the point of view of DST. A
general method to engineer TSI in the running-wave domain is employed, which
includes the errors due to the nonidealities of detectors and photocounts.Comment: 10 pages, 22 figure
Scaling in a continuous time model for biological aging
In this paper we consider a generalization to the asexual version of the
Penna model for biological aging, where we take a continuous time limit. The
genotype associated to each individual is an interval of real numbers over
which Dirac --functions are defined, representing genetically
programmed diseases to be switched on at defined ages of the individual life.
We discuss two different continuous limits for the evolution equation and two
different mutation protocols, to be implemented during reproduction. Exact
stationary solutions are obtained and scaling properties are discussed.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
Peixes herbivoros da planicie inundavel do Rio Miranda, Pantanal, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil.
Na planicie inundavel do baixo rio Miranda, foram encontradas 12 especies de peixes de habitos alimentares herbivoros. Sao: Markiana nigripinnis, Piabucus melanostoma, Metynnis mola, Metynnis maculatus, Mylossoma paraguayensis, Mylossoma orbignyanum, Myloplus levis, Hemiodus orthonops, Leporinus elongatus, Leporinus friderici, Leporinus lacustris e Schizodon borellii. Destas, 4 apresentam importancia economica para a pesca profissional e esportiva (M. paraguayensis, M. orbinyanum, L. elongatus e L. friderici). E discutida a importancia da herbivoria na cadeia alimentar dos peixes sulamericanos.bitstream/item/37446/1/BP10.pd
Shrinking the plan. A middle-class wishful thinking in the outskirts of Lisbon
In the 1960s and 1970s, large-scale Portuguese architectural production was largely promoted by the
State. This took further aspects after the 1974 revolution when housing construction became one of the
pillars of the new state policy. It is in this context that Manuel Vicente develops the project for Quinta do
Bacalhau in different times: 1– Before 1974 by EPUL as part of UNOR 26 of which M. Vicente was the
coordinator, 2– From 1974 as a SAAL operation after the site was taken over by a residents' committee,
3– After 1976, as it was built outside the revolutionary period by a housing cooperative and financed by
the state. Unlike most SAAL projects – small, contained and with low-row houses –, and despite the
ideologically marked circumstances of this period, it presents somehow ostentatious. Volumes of broad
and generous features, incorporation of commerce on the ground floors like a boulevard, contrast with
the dominant model, thus raising some questions: – to what extent did a particular class position
correspond to a certain typology, style, etc.? – wouldn't this imply an aspiration to the same “rights” as
the middle-class, as far as architecture is concerned? M. Vicente remains throughout his life in an
ideologically multifaceted position. Close to the Communist Party, he has a cosmopolitan experience still
in the 1960s being in touch with the Western capitalism – in the United States and in Macao – and in
close contact with the speculation and profit markets. It has thus a double folded stance regarding the
state-sponsored housing and low standards one, as if responding to the residents were the same as
responding to himself. In this communication we intend to analyse through drawings of the project how
the notion of housing for “a middle-class” crossed through the project. This argument is revealed in a plan
of a dwelling with dimensions close to middle-class, which is later reduced to smaller areas, but “keeping”
architectural qualities.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Tetragonal tungsten bronze compounds: relaxor vs mixed ferroelectric - dipole glass behavior
We demonstrate that recent experimental data (E. Castel et al J.Phys. Cond.
Mat. {\bf 21} (2009), 452201) on tungsten bronze compound (TBC)
BaPrNdFeNbO can be well explained in our model
predicting a crossover from ferroelectric () to orientational (dipole)
glass (), rather then relaxor, behavior. We show, that since a "classical"
perovskite relaxor like Pb(Mn Nb)O is never a
ferroelectric, the presence of ferroelectric hysteresis loops in TBC shows that
this substance actually transits from ferroelectric to orientational glass
phase with growth. To describe the above crossover theoretically, we use
the simple replica-symmetric solution for disordered Ising model.Comment: 5 two-column pages, 4 figure
Diluted antiferromagnet in a ferromagnetic enviroment
The question of robustness of a network under random ``attacks'' is treated
in the framework of critical phenomena. The persistence of spontaneous
magnetization of a ferromagnetic system to the random inclusion of
antiferromagnetic interactions is investigated. After examing the static
properties of the quenched version (in respect to the random antiferromagnetic
interactions) of the model, the persistence of the magnetization is analysed
also in the annealed approximation, and the difference in the results are
discussed
