Impact of Power Allocation and Antenna Directivity in the Capacity of a Multiuser Cognitive Ad Hoc Network
This paper studies the benefits that power control and antenna directivity can bring to the capacity of a multiuser cognitive radio network. The main objective is to optimize the secondary network sum rate under the capacity constraint of the primary network. Exploiting location awareness, antenna directivity, and the power control capability, the cognitive radio ad hoc network can broaden its coverage and improve capacity. Computer simulations show that by employing the proposed method the system performance is significantly enhanced compared to conventional fixed power allocation
Detectability of the First Cosmic Explosions
We present a fully self-consistent simulation of a synthetic survey of the
furthermost cosmic explosions. The appearance of the first generation of stars
(Population III) in the Universe represents a critical point during cosmic
evolution, signaling the end of the dark ages, a period of absence of light
sources. Despite their importance, there is no confirmed detection of
Population III stars so far. A fraction of these primordial stars are expected
to die as pair-instability supernovae (PISNe), and should be bright enough to
be observed up to a few hundred million years after the big bang. While the
quest for Population III stars continues, detailed theoretical models and
computer simulations serve as a testbed for their observability. With the
upcoming near-infrared missions, estimates of the feasibility of detecting
PISNe are not only timely but imperative. To address this problem, we combine
state-of-the-art cosmological and radiative simulations into a complete and
self-consistent framework, which includes detailed features of the
observational process. We show that a dedicated observational strategy using
per cent of total allocation time of the James Webb Space
Telescope mission can provide us up to detectable PISNe per year.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures. Minor corrections added to match published

Reducing the parameter space for Unparticle-inspired models using white dwarf masses
Based on astrophysical constraints derived from Chandrasekhar's mass limit
for white-dwarfs, we study the effects of the model on the parameters of
unparticle-inspired gravity, on scales and .Comment: 4 pp., 4 Fig., to appear in PR
Avaliação clonal em híbridos de abacaxizeiros ornamentais.
O abacaxi ornamental representa atualmente, o segundo produto mais exportado da floricultura do Ceará (Brainer & Oliveira, 2007). No entanto, sua comercialização está pautada em apenas duas cultivares, uma pertencente à A.comosus var. erectifolius que corresponde a 75 % do exportado e ao A. comosus var. bracteatus. Em 2004, foi iniciado um programa de melhoramento genético na Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura, para obtenção de abacaxizeiros ornamentais, cuja primeira etapa se constituiu da caracterização do germoplasma voltada para o uso ornamental. Esse trabalho de caracterização permitiu a identificação de genótipos com características de interesse para essa finalidade e que foram pré-selecionados como parentais para possíveis cruzamentos (Souza et al., 2007). Hibridações foram conduzidas gerando genótipos que, através de caracterizações preliminares permitiram o agrupamento dos mesmos em categorias de uso ornamental. Entretanto, para se confirmar a estabilidade dos caracteres selecionados e, posteriormente, laçamento das novas cultivares os híbridos obtidos precisam passar por um período em avaliação clonal. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar híbridos de abacaxizeiros visando à identificação de genótipos com características desejáveis e estáveis para uso ornamental.PDF. 065
Remote sensing applications to hydrologic modeling
An energy balance snowmelt model for rugged terrain was devised and coupled to a flow model. A literature review of remote sensing applications to hydrologic modeling was included along with a software development outline
