Rotating Black Branes in the presence of nonlinear electromagnetic field

In this paper, we consider a class of gravity whose action represents itself as a sum of the usual Einstein-Hilbert action with cosmological constant and an $U(1)$ gauge field for which the action is given by a power of the Maxwell invariant. We present a class of the rotating black branes with Ricci flat horizon and show that the presented solutions may be interpreted as black brane solutions with two event horizons, extreme black hole and naked singularity provided the parameters of the solutions are chosen suitably. We investigate the properties of the solutions and find that for the special values of the nonlinear parameter, the solutions are not asymptotically anti-deSitter. At last, we obtain the conserved quantities of the rotating black branes and find that the nonlinear source effects on the electric field, the behavior of spacetime, type of singularity and other quantities.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, to appear in EPJ

RESÍDUOS DE FENITROTION EM FRUTOS E FOLHAS DE TOMATEIRO (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) ESTAQUEADO

Estudou-se o comportamento dos resíduos de fenitrotion em frutos e folhas de tomateiro estaqueado, através de cromatografia gasosa. O experimento de campo foi instalado quando as plantas tinham 90 dias após o transplante das mudas, e constou de quatro tratamentos: (1) uma aplicação de fenitrotion em dosagem simples, de 100 g i.a./100 litros de água, (2) uma aplicação em dosagem dobrada, de 200 g i.a./100 litros de água, (3) quatro aplicações espaçadas de sete dias, na dosagem simples e (4) testemunha. As amostras de fruto e folha foram colhidas um dia antes da aplicação (-1) e aos zero , 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 e 14 dias após. Basicamente, a metododogia para análises dos resíduos dos frutos e das folhas constou da extração com acetona e partição em clorofórmio; limpeza dos extratos em coluna de florisil (no caso de folhas) e eluição procedida com benzeno. As determinações quantitativas foram feitas por cromatografia gasosa, usando-se detector fotométrico de chama com filtro específico para fósforo. Os resíduos nas folhas foram sempre maiores do que os dos frutos (cerca de 80 vezes, em média) durante todo o período de colheita das amostras. Os valores de meia-vida de degradação de fenitrotion em frutos e folhas foram: 1,6 a 1,9 e 0,7 a 0,8 dia, respectivamente, mostrando uma diminuição mais rápida dos resíduos em folhas. As meias-vidas de persistência foram semelhantes para os dois substratos: 4,2 a 7,3 e 5,6 a 6,2 dias, respectivamente. Os resíduos encontrados nos frutos logo após a aplicação, foram menores que a tolerância oficial (0,5 ppm) para os tratamentos que utilizaram 100 g i.a./100 litros em uma ou quatro pulverizações espaçadas de sete dias. Uma única aplicação de 200 g i.a./100 litros resultou em resíduos menores que 0,5 ppm, desde um dia após a aplicação.<br>The behavior of fenitrothion in fruits and leaves of staked tomato plants was studied with gas chromatography. The field experiment begun when plants had 90 days post-transplant and consisted of four treatments: (1) a single application of fenitrothion at 100 g a.i./100 liters of water; (2) a double dose application of 200 g a.i./100 liters of water; (3) four applications at 7 day intervals at the lower dosage; and (4) control. Fruit and leaf samples were collected one day before application (-1) and at zero, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days post-application. Residual analysis of fruit and leave consisted of acetone extraction and partition with chloroform; extract cleaning in a florisil column and benzene elution (for leaves). Quantitative estimates were obtained in a gas chromatograph, using flame photometric detector, with a special phosphorus filter. Leaf residues were always higher than those in fruits (approximately 80 times), during all sampling intervals. Half-live degradation values of fenitrothion in fruits and leaves were: 1.6 to 1.9 and 0.7 to 0.8 days, respectively. Half-lives of persistence were similiar for both substrates: 4.2 to 7.3 and 5.6 to 6.2 days, respectively. Fruit residues immediately after application were below the official tolerance level (0.5 ppm) for treatments of 100 g a.i./100 liters in one or four weekly applications. A single application of 200 g a.i./100 liters resulted in residual levels lower than 0.5 ppm after one or more days post-application

Accelerated surgery versus standard care in hip fracture (HIP ATTACK) : an international, randomised, controlled trial

Background: Observational studies have suggested that accelerated surgery is associated with improved outcomes in patients with a hip fracture. The HIP ATTACK trial assessed whether accelerated surgery could reduce mortality and major complications. Methods: HIP ATTACK was an international, randomised, controlled trial done at 69 hospitals in 17 countries. Patients with a hip fracture that required surgery and were aged 45 years or older were eligible. Research personnel randomly assigned patients (1:1) through a central computerised randomisation system using randomly varying block sizes to either accelerated surgery (goal of surgery within 6 h of diagnosis) or standard care. The coprimary outcomes were mortality and a composite of major complications (ie, mortality and non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, venous thromboembolism, sepsis, pneumonia, life-threatening bleeding, and major bleeding) at 90 days after randomisation. Patients, health-care providers, and study staff were aware of treatment assignment, but outcome adjudicators were masked to treatment allocation. Patients were analysed according to the intention-to-treat principle. This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02027896). Findings: Between March 14, 2014, and May 24, 2019, 27 701 patients were screened, of whom 7780 were eligible. 2970 of these were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive accelerated surgery (n=1487) or standard care (n=1483). The median time from hip fracture diagnosis to surgery was 6 h (IQR 4\u20139) in the accelerated-surgery group and 24 h (10\u201342) in the standard-care group (p&lt;0\ub70001). 140 (9%) patients assigned to accelerated surgery and 154 (10%) assigned to standard care died, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0\ub791 (95% CI 0\ub772 to 1\ub714) and absolute risk reduction (ARR) of 1% ( 121 to 3; p=0\ub740). Major complications occurred in 321 (22%) patients assigned to accelerated surgery and 331 (22%) assigned to standard care, with an HR of 0\ub797 (0\ub783 to 1\ub713) and an ARR of 1% ( 122 to 4; p=0\ub771). Interpretation: Among patients with a hip fracture, accelerated surgery did not significantly lower the risk of mortality or a composite of major complications compared with standard care.
