Four-dimensional gravity on supersymmetric dilatonic domain walls

We investigate the localization of four-dimensional metastable gravity in supersymmetric dilatonic domain walls through massive modes by considering several scenarios in the model. We compute corrections to the Newtonian potential for small and long distances compared with a crossover scale given in terms of the dilatonic coupling. 4D gravity behavior is developed on the brane for distance very much below the crossover scale, while for distance much larger, the 5D gravity is recovered. Whereas in the former regime gravity is always attractive, in the latter regime due to non-normalizable unstable massive graviton modes present on the spectrum, in some special cases, gravity appears to be repulsive and signalizes a gravitational confining phase which is able to produce an inflationary phase of the Universe.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, Latex.

Programas de controle das mastites causadas por microrganismos contagiosos e do ambiente

Este trabalho foi elaborado com o objetivo de apresentar os conceitos em que se baseiam os programas de controle da mastite, em uso na maioria das indústrias leiteiras desenvolvidas. Foram abordados os fundamentos dos programas de controle, as características dos patógenos mais comuns, os fatores relacionados à ocorrência da doença e a síntese do programa de controle. Destina-se prioritariamente a médicos veterinários e estudantes, embora outros profissionais e produtores interessados no tema possam também usá-lo.bitstream/item/81916/1/Programas-de-controle-das-mastites.pd

Cosmology in the Universe with distance dependent Lorentz-violating bakground

We consider a cosmological setup with the inflaton field in the presence of a redshift dependent Lorentz-violating time-like background to address the inflationary regime and other phases of the Universe. We also show that the regime of dark energy at large distances (low redshifts) is essentially dominated by the presence of the Lorentz-violating background.Comment: 8 pages, no figure, Latex, to appear in AHE
