Aether field coupled to the electromagnetic field in the TFD formalism
In this paper, the aether field, which leads to the violation of Lorentz
symmetries, coupled with the electromagnetic field is considered. In order to
study thermal and size effects in this theory, the Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD)
formalism is used. TFD is a real-time quantum field theory that has an
interesting topological structure. Here three different topologies are taken,
then three different phenomena are calculated. These effects are investigated
considering that the aether field can point in different directions. The
results obtained are compared with the usual results of the Lorentz invariant
electromagnetic field.Comment: 15 pages, accepted for publication in EPJ
Apparent Recovery of Surface Applied Nitrogen Fertilizer by a Coastcross Pasture
Nitrogen recoveries from five levels of urea and ammonium nitrate surface-applied on coastcross pasture, grown on a dark red latosol (Hapludox), in São Carlos, SP, Brazil, under tropical altitude climate, were estimated. Significant differences occurred within periods (P \u3c 0.05), depending on climatic conditions. Under adequate plant growth conditions, mean N recovery from urea was about 67%, sometimes reaching 80%, of that from ammonium nitrate. Recovery of ammonium nitrate varied from 45 to 68% of applied N
Soil Nitrate Level Variation under Intensive Nitrogen Fertilized Coastcross Pasture
Nitrate levels in soil profile after the first N application on coastcross pasture, grown on a dark red latosol (Hapludox), in São Carlos, SP, Brazil, under tropical altitude climate, were measured at 7-day intervals, to monitor possible losses in depth. Soil nitrate rates varied with high rates of N-ammonium nitrate (200 kg ha-1 per cutting) in surface layers. Danger of environmental impact was low in the studied conditions
