Irreducible actions and compressible modules

Any finite set of linear operators on an algebra $A$ yields an operator algebra $B$ and a module structure on A, whose endomorphism ring is isomorphic to a subring $A^B$ of certain invariant elements of $A$. We show that if $A$ is a critically compressible left $B$-module, then the dimension of its self-injective hull $A$ over the ring of fractions of $A^B$ is bounded by the uniform dimension of $A$ and the number of linear operators generating $B$. This extends a known result on irreducible Hopf actions and applies in particular to weak Hopf action. Furthermore we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for an algebra A to be critically compressible in the case of group actions, group gradings and Lie actions

Desempenho genotípico de linhagens de arroz de terras altas utilizando metodologia de modelos mistos.

Avaliou-se o desempenho de genótipos de arroz de terras altas utilizando metodologia de modelos mistos. Foram utilizados dados de produtividade de grãos dos ensaios de valor de cultivo e uso (VCU) do programa cooperativo de melhoramento de arroz de terras altas, desenvolvido em Minas Gerais, no período de 1997/1998 a 2007/2008. Realizou-se análise de deviance para verificar a significância dos efeitos de genótipos e suas interações com locais e anos, obtendo-se a estabilidade e a adaptabilidade genotípicas, com os métodos da média harmônica dos valores genotípicos. Os efeitos de genótipos, genótipos x locais e genótipos x anos foram estatisticamente significativos (p?0,05). As linhagens e cultivares mais estáveis foram: Curinga-3, CNA 8983, Guarani, BRSMG Caravera e CNA 8824. Com maior adaptabilidade, estabilidade e produtividade de grãos, simultaneamente, destacaram-se a BRSMG Caravera, Curinga-3, MG 1089, MG 1097 e CNA 8436. A BRSMG Caravera, entre todas as cultivares e linhagens avaliadas de 1997 a 2008, foi a de melhor desempenho pela MHPRVG, ou seja, maior estabilidade, adaptabilidade e produtividade de grãos, simultaneamente, proporcionando aos orizicultores de Minas Gerais alta segurança no seu cultiv

Coeficiente de metabolizabilidade aparente de diferentes fontes lipídicas com ou sem emulsificante para frangos de corte de 1 a 8 dias.

Óleos e gorduras são utilizados nas rações de aves devido às suas altas concentrações calóricas. Entretanto, a escolha da fonte lipídica a ser utilizada na formulação dependerá de seu custo e da qualidade. O uso de emulsificantes em aves jovens tem o objetivo de auxiliar na digestão e absorção da gordura da dieta devido à imaturidade da circulação entero-hepática nesses animais (5). O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o coeficiente de metabolizabilidade aparente da matéria seca (CMAMS) e extrato etéreo (CMAEE) e energia metabolizável (EM) em frangos de corte de 1 a 8 dias de idade alimentados com diferentes fontes lipídicas com ou sem a adição de emulsificantes

J-PLUS: Identification of low-metallicity stars with artificial neural networks using SPHINX

We present a new methodology for the estimation of stellar atmospheric parameters from narrow- and intermediate-band photometry of the Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS), and propose a method for target pre-selection of low-metallicity stars for follow-up spectroscopic studies. Photometric metallicity estimates for stars in the globular cluster M15 are determined using this method. By development of a neural-network-based photometry pipeline, we aim to produce estimates of effective temperature, $T_{\rm eff}$, and metallicity, [Fe/H], for a large subset of stars in the J-PLUS footprint. The Stellar Photometric Index Network Explorer, SPHINX, is developed to produce estimates of $T_{\rm eff}$ and [Fe/H], after training on a combination of J-PLUS photometric inputs and synthetic magnitudes computed for medium-resolution (R ~ 2000) spectra of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This methodology is applied to J-PLUS photometry of the globular cluster M15. Effective temperature estimates made with J-PLUS Early Data Release photometry exhibit low scatter, \sigma($T_{\rm eff}$) = 91 K, over the temperature range 4500 < $T_{\rm eff}$ (K) < 8500. For stars from the J-PLUS First Data Release with 4500 < $T_{\rm eff}$ (K) < 6200, 85 $\pm$ 3% of stars known to have [Fe/H] <-2.0 are recovered by SPHINX. A mean metallicity of [Fe/H]=-2.32 $\pm$ 0.01, with a residual spread of 0.3 dex, is determined for M15 using J-PLUS photometry of 664 likely cluster members. We confirm the performance of SPHINX within the ranges specified, and verify its utility as a stand-alone tool for photometric estimation of effective temperature and metallicity, and for pre-selection of metal-poor spectroscopic targets.Comment: 18 pages, 12 figure

Measurements and analysis of the upper critical field Hc2H_{c2} on an underdoped and overdoped La2−xSrxCuO4La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4 compounds

The upper critical field $H_{c2}$ is one of the many non conventional properties of high-$T_c$ cuprates. It is possible that the $H_{c2}(T)$ anomalies are due to the presence of inhomogeneities in the local charge carrier density $\rho$ of the $CuO_2$ planes. In order to study this point, we have prepared good quality samples of polycrystalline $La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_{4}$ using the wet-chemical method, which has demonstrated to produce samples with a better cation distribution. In particular, we have studied the temperature dependence of the second critical field, $H_{c2}(T)$, through the magnetization measurements on two samples with opposite average carrier concentration ($\rho_m=x$) and nearly the same critical temperature, namely $\rho_m = 0.08$ (underdoped) and $\rho_m = 0.25$ (overdoped). The results close to $T_c$ do not follow the usual Ginzburg-Landau theory and are interpreted by a theory which takes into account the influence of the inhomogeneities.Comment: Published versio
