    Zero-temperature TAP equations for the Ghatak-Sherrington model

    Full text link
    The zero-temperature TAP equations for the spin-1 Ghatak-Sherrington model are investigated. The spin-glass energy density (ground state) is determined as a function of the anisotropy crystal field DD for a large number of spins. This allows us to locate a first-order transition between the spin-glass and paramagnetic phases within a good accuracy. The total number of solutions is also determined as a function of DD.Comment: 11 pages, 2 ps figures include

    Effects of Random Biquadratic Couplings in a Spin-1 Spin-Glass Model

    Full text link
    A spin-1 model, appropriated to study the competition between bilinear (J_{ij}S_{i}S_{j}) and biquadratic (K_{ij}S_{i}^{2}S_{j}^{2}) random interactions, both of them with zero mean, is investigated. The interactions are infinite-ranged and the replica method is employed. Within the replica-symmetric assumption, the system presents two phases, namely, paramagnetic and spin-glass, separated by a continuous transition line. The stability analysis of the replica-symmetric solution yields, besides the usual instability associated with the spin-glass ordering, a new phase due to the random biquadratic couplings between the spins.Comment: 16 pages plus 2 ps figure

    Optics and children

    Light and Optics are subjects that “naturally” attracts the interest and sympathy of children even from very early ages. In this communication, we present a serie of experiments and support material designed in this hands-on perspective, to be used to introduce the study of light and optics to kindergarten and early basic school students. Our hands-on investigative approach leads the students, aged 4 to 10 years, to observe the experiment and discover themselves, in a critical and active way, different aspects of light and optics. Preparing funny eye catching situations and experiments predispose the children to work, effectively, enjoying themselves while building up their self-confidence.(undefined

    Doenças da bananicultura: mal-do-panamá.

    No Brasil, esta doença foi oficialmente constatada no ano de 1930, no Município de Piracicaba, São Paulo, atacando principalmente a cultivar Maçã. Atualmente, a doença pode ser encontrada em praticamente quase todo o território nacional, atacando, na maioria das vezes, a cultivar Maçã. Dada sua ampla distribuição, esta doença merece especial atenção e vêm ganhando importância, tanto em nível nacional como no exterior, visto que relatos assinalam sua ocorrência em praticamente todas as áreas produtoras de banana, atingindo, inclusive, bananas do subgrupo Cavendish.bitstream/item/24671/1/ct86-maldopanama.pd

    Doenças da bananicultura: sigatoca-amarela.

    No Brasil, a sigatoca-amarela foi inicialmente detectada em 1935, na cidade de São Sebastião-SP, porém ganhou importância em 1944, no Amazonas. Atualmente, encontra-se disseminada por praticamente todo o país. Entretanto, a doença apresenta maior relevância nas regiões ou microregiões de clima úmido, com alta pluviosidade e temperaturas por volta dos 25 °C.bitstream/item/24670/1/ct85-sigatoca-amarela.pd
