    Narrow band amplification of light carrying orbital angular momentum

    Full text link
    We report on the amplification of an optical vortex beam carrying orbital angular momentum via induced narrow Raman gain in an ensemble of cold cesium atoms. A 20\% single-pass Raman gain of a weak vortex signal field is observed with a spectral width of order of 1 MHz, much smaller than the natural width, demonstrating that the amplification process preserves the phase structure of the vortex beam. The gain is observed in the degenerated two-level system associated with the hyperfine transition 6S1/2(F=3)6P3/2(F=2)6S_{1/2}(F=3)\leftrightarrow 6P_{3/2}(F^{\prime}=2) of cesium. Our experimental observations are explained with a simple theoretical model based on a three-level Λ\Lambda system interacting coherently with the weak Laguerre-Gauss field and a strong coupling field, including an incoherent pumping rate between the two degenerate ground-states.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure

    Cruzamentos em dialelo de genótipos de arroz irrigado de base genética ampla.

    Get PDF
    Este trabalho visa dar continuidade aos estudos conduzidos com a Coleção Nuclear de Arroz da Embrapa (CNAE). O ensaio foi um dialelo, envolvendo dezesseis genitores, que compõem uma Mine amostra da CNAE. Buscou-se a distância genética entre os genitores e a correlação com a heterose obtida nas variáveis medidas nos híbridos. Além da busca de combinações promissoras para o programa de melhoramento, visou-se também o entendimento do comportamento de cruzamentos de genótipos de base genética ampla. Procurou-se também encontrar combinações que sirva para estudos, nas diversas áreas acopladas ao melhoramento

    Experimentos foram conduzidos para verificar a infludncia da eliminação de gemas e da profundidade de plantio sobre o enraizamento de estacas de porta-enxertos de videira. As estacas foram plantadas em viveiro, no sistema de valas, com delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado. No porta-enxerto Kober 5BB foi estudado o efeito da eliminaçao de gemas, com os seguintes tratamentos: 1. estacas com a permanência só da gema superior; 2. estacas com a permanencia da gema superior e a da base; 3. estacas com a permangncia sd das duas gemas superiores; 4. estacas com a permanencia de todas as gemas. Nos porta-enxertos S04 e Rupestris du Lot foi estudada a influência da profundidade de plantio das estacas, com os seguintes tratamentos: I. plantio a 15 cm de profundidade; 2. plantio a 25 cm; 3. plantio a 35 cm. Nas estacas do porta-enxerto SO4 deixaram-se apenas as gemas da base e da extremidade superior, e no porta-enxerta Rupestris du Lot deixou-se a gema da base e duas na extremidade superior. A avaliação foi feita pela contagem e peso das raizes finas, médias e grossas, por nó, e os resultados foram submetidos A análise de variancia e ao teste de Duncan. Nas condiçbes em que foram conduzidos os experimentos, os resultados obtidos indicam que o plantio mais adequado das stacas foi na profundidade de 25 cm, deixando-se nas estacas apenas as gemas da base e uma ou duas na extremidade superior.bitstream/item/87134/1/influencia-da-eliminacao.pd

    Effects of Condensed Tannins from Quebracho Extract on the Kinetic of in vitro Gas Production on Trifolium repens, Lotus corniculatus and Lolium perenne

    The aim of this work was to study the effect of condensed tannins (CT) on the kinetic of gas production in vitro, on the three main species of Azorean pasture: Trifolium repens, Lotus corniculatus and Lolium perenne, using Quebracho extract as the source of CT, and also to calculate total tannins and condensed tannins on the species studied. Lotus corniculatus, Lolium perenne and Trifolium repens were tested in vitro with the inclusion of Quebracho extract in doses of 0%, 2.5% and 5% DM. The total content in tannins was determined in the 3 species. We have found, in comparison with standard tannic acid, that tannins exist in the flower of T. repens (0.81 equivalents of tannic acid) and in L .corniculatus (1.07 equivalents of tannic acid) but not in L .perenne (0 equivalents of tannic acid). The concentration of condensed tannins in the 3 species was: 0.34 mg/mL for T. repens; 0.83 mg/mL for L. corniculatus and 0 mg/ml for L. perenne. We verified that a significant reduction (P < 0.05) of gas production happened for doses of 5% of CT in comparison with the other two concentrations: 0% and 2.5% of CT. The results of this study express a reduction of the fermentation rate, which implies a reduction of gas production, so, a reduction of methane emission to the atmosphere and an increase of exploitation of the protein by ruminants

    The use of information and communication technologies in perinatal depression screening: A systematic review

    Get PDF
    Perinatal mental illness refers to psychiatric disorders that exist during pregnancy and up to 1 year after childbirth. The aim of this systematic review was to discuss the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on perinatal depression (PeD) screening in the past three decades. Published articles were searched between 1990 and 2018, both in English and Spanish. In the search, we used different keywords, such as "pregnancy, " "depression, " or "technology" in ScienceDirect, PubMed-NCBI, and Web of Science. We found 10 articles that combined the use of ICTs and a focus on PeD screening. Studied periods included pregnancy (n = 2) and postpartum (n = 8). The telephone was the most commonly used communication method (n = 5), followed by the Internet (n = 4). One investigation used both, the telephone and the Internet. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was the most frequently used screening measure (n = 8). The proportion of depressed perinatal women varied across studies depending on the pregnancy status and the cutoff values used, showing a very broad range between 5.8 and 51.9 percent. Despite the increasing popularity of ICTs in health settings, their use in perinatal mental health screening is still rare. Overall, encouraging findings have been reported when using ICTs for screening of PeD, such as eliminating the need to travel to the health center to conduct the screening and allowing for a wider dissemination. However, more research is needed to support their inclusion in perinatal care
