Some properties of two Nambu--Jona-Lasinio -type models with inputs from lattice QCD
We investigate the phase diagram of the so-called
Polyakov--Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model at finite temperature and nonzero
chemical potential. The calculations are performed in the light and strange
quark sectors (, , ), which includes the 't Hooft instanton induced
interaction term that breaks the axial symmetry, and the quarks are coupled to
the (spatially constant) temporal background gauge field. On one hand, a
special attention is payed to the critical end point (CEP). The strength of the
flavor-mixing interaction alters the CEP location, since when it becomes weaker
the CEP moves to low temperatures and can even disappear. On the other hand, we
also explore the connection between QCD, a nonlocal Nambu--Jona-Lasinio type
model and the Landau gauge gluon propagator. Possible links between the
quenched gluon propagator and low energy hadronic phenomenology are
investigated.Comment: Contribution to the International Meeting "Excited QCD", Peniche,

Photochemical studies of cis-[Ru(bpy)2(4-bzpy)(CO)](PF6)2 and cis-[Ru(bpy)2(4-bzpy)(Cl)](PF6): Blue light-induced nucleobase binding.
The ruthenium(II) compounds cis-[Ru(bpy)2(4-bzpy)(CO)](PF6)2 (I) and cis-[Ru(bpy)2(4-bzpy)(Cl)](PF6) (II) (4-bzpy=4-benzoylpyridine, bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The crystal structure of II was determined by X-ray diffraction. The photochemical behavior of I in aqueous solution shows that irradiation with ultraviolet light (365nm) releases both CO and 4-bzpy leading to the formation of the cis-[Ru(bpy)2(H2O)2]2+ ion as identified by NMR and electronic spectroscopy. Carbon monoxide release was confirmed with the myoglobin method and by gas chromatographic analysis of the headspace. CO release was not observed when aqueous I was irradiated with blue light (453nm). Changes in the electronic and 1H NMR spectra indicate that I undergoes photoaquation of 4-bzpy to form cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CO)(H2O)]2+. Blue light irradiation of aqueous II released the coordinated 4-bzpy to give the cis-[Ru(bpy)2(H2O)(Cl)]2+ ion. When the latter reaction was carried out in the presence of the nucleobase guanine, Ru-guanine adducts were formed, indicating that the metal containing photoproduct may also participate in biologically relevant reactions. The photochemical behavior of I indicates that it can release either CO or 4-bzpy depending on the wavelength chosen, a feature that may have therapeutic application
Interplay between chiral and axial symmetries in a SU(2) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Model with the Polyakov loop
We consider a two flavor Polyakov--Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model where the
Lagrangian includes an interaction term that explicitly breaks the U
anomaly. At finite temperature, the restoration of chiral and axial symmetries,
signaled by the behavior of several observables, is investigated. We compare
the effects of two regularizations at finite temperature, one of them, that
allows high momentum quarks states, leading to the full recovery of chiral
symmetry. From the analysis of the behavior of the topological susceptibility
and of the mesonic masses of the axial partners, it is found in the SU(2) model
that, unlike the SU(3) results, the recovery of the axial symmetry is not a
consequence of the full recovery of the chiral symmetry. Thus, one needs to use
an additional idea, by means of a temperature dependence of the anomaly
coefficient, that simulates instanton suppression effects.Comment: 21 pages, 5 figures; PRD versio
Comportamento de hĂbridos de coqueiro nos Tabuleiros Costeiros do PiauĂ.
Com o objetivo de avaliar o comportamento de hĂbridos de coqueiro nas condições de clima e solo dos Tabuleiros Costeiros do PiauĂ, conduziu-se um experimento no Campo Experimental da Embrapa Meio-Norte em ParnaĂba-PI, no perĂodo de 2002 a 2004. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com sete tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituĂdos por cinco hĂbridos entre coqueiro-anĂŁo e coqueiro-gigante: AAG x GBrPF, AVG x GBrPF, AVeJ x GBrRN, AAG x GOA e AVG x GOA) e os dois parentais (GBrRN e AVeJ) como testemunha. As caracterĂsticas vegetativas, avaliadas semestralmente, foram o nĂşmero de folhas vivas (NFV) emitidas (NFE), e as reprodutivas, avaliadas mensalmente, foram o nĂşmero de inflorescĂŞncias emitidas (NIE), nĂşmero de flores femininas por inflorescĂŞncia (NFFI) e nĂşmero de frutos colhidos/planta (NFC). Os hĂbridos AAG x GBrPF; AVG x GBrP e AVG x GOA apresentam maior potencial de adaptação Ă s condições edafoclimáticas dos Tabuleiros Costeiros do PiauĂ.bitstream/item/35881/1/BP61.pd

Behavior of the topological susceptibility at finite T and and signs of restoration of chiral symmetries
We investigate the possible restoration of chiral and axial symmetries across the phase transition at finite temperature and chemical potential, by analyzing the behavior of several physics quantities, such as the quark condensates and the topological susceptibility, the respective derivatives in order to chemical potential, and the masses of meson chiral partners. We discuss whether only chiral symmetry or both chiral and axial symmetries are restored and what is the role of the strange quark. The results are compared with recent lattice results
Effective restoration of the U_A(1) symmetry with temperature and density
We investigate the full U(3)U(3) chiral symmetry restoration, at
finite temperature and density, on the basis of a quark model which
incorporates the most relevant properties of QCD in this context: explicit and
spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry and axial U(1) symmetry breaking. A
specific lattice-inspired behavior of the topological susceptibility, combined
with the convergence of chiral partners, signals the onset of an effective
chiral symmetry restoration. The results suggest that the axial part of the
symmetry is restored before the possible restoration of the full
U(3)U(3) chiral symmetry can occur. This conclusion is valid in the
context of both finite temperature and density.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures; PRD versio
