On the relationship between inflation persistence and temporal aggregation
This paper examines the impact of temporal aggregation on alternative definitions of inflation persistence. Using the CPI and the core PCE deflator of the US, our results show that temporal aggregation from the monthly to the quarterly to the annual frequency induces persistence in the inflation series.
Crescimento e macronutrientes em mudas de melancia sob doses de adubo orgânico no substrato.

A Method to Tackle First Order Differential Equations with Liouvillian Functions in the Solution - II
We present a semi-decision procedure to tackle first order differential
equations, with Liouvillian functions in the solution (LFOODEs). As in the case
of the Prelle-Singer procedure, this method is based on the knowledge of the
integrating factor structure.Comment: 11 pages, late
The role of the nature of the noise in the thermal conductance of mechanical systems
Focussing on a paradigmatic small system consisting of two coupled damped
oscillators, we survey the role of the L\'evy-It\^o nature of the noise in the
thermal conductance. For white noises, we prove that the L\'evy-It\^o
composition (Lebesgue measure) of the noise is irrelevant for the thermal
conductance of a non-equilibrium linearly coupled chain, which signals the
independence between mechanical and thermodynamical properties. On the other
hand, for the non-linearly coupled case, the two types of properties mix and
the explicit definition of the noise plays a central role.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures. To be published in Physical Review
Square lattice site percolation at increasing ranges of neighbor interactions
We report site percolation thresholds for square lattice with neighbor
interactions at various increasing ranges. Using Monte Carlo techniques we
found that nearest neighbors (N), next nearest neighbors (N), next next
nearest neighbors (N) and fifth nearest neighbors (N) yield the same
. At odds, fourth nearest neighbors (N) give .
These results are given an explanation in terms of symmetry arguments. We then
consider combinations of various ranges of interactions with (N+N),
(N+N), (N+N+N) and (N+N). The calculated associated
thresholds are respectively . The
existing Galam--Mauger universal formula for percolation thresholds does not
reproduce the data showing dimension and coordination number are not sufficient
to build a universal law which extends to complex lattices.Comment: 4 pages, revtex
