The extended minimal geometric deformation of SU() dark glueball condensates
The extended minimal geometric deformation (EMGD) procedure, in the
holographic membrane paradigm, is employed to model stellar distributions that
arise upon self-interacting scalar glueball dark matter condensation. Such
scalar glueballs are SU() Yang-Mills hidden sectors beyond the Standard
Model. Then, corrections to the gravitational wave radiation, emitted by
SU() EMGD dark glueball stars mergers, are derived, and their respective
spectra are studied in the EMGD framework, due to a phenomenological brane
tension with finite value. The bulk Weyl fluid that drives the EMGD is then
proposed to be experimentally detected by enhanced windows at the eLISA and
LIGO.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
Extended quantum portrait of MGD black holes and information entropy
The extended minimal geometric deformation (EMGD) is employed on the fluid
membrane paradigm, to describe compact stellar objects as Bose--Einstein
condensates (BEC) consisting of gravitons. The black hole quantum portrait,
besides deriving a preciser phenomenological bound for the fluid brane tension,
is then scrutinized from the point of view of the configurational entropy. It
yields a range for the critical density of the EMGD BEC, whose configurational
entropy has global minima suggesting the configurational stability of the EMGD
BEC.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, matches the published versio
The Influence of oral environment on diet choices in goats: a focus on saliva protein composition
There is ample evidence that ruminants are capable of making choices between
different foods that provide a more balanced diet that would be obtained by eating at
random. In the particular case of goats, they occupy a diversity of habitats and different
breeds present variability of feeding behaviors resultant from adaptations to the existent
plant species. In their food search activity, individuals are faced with variable amounts of
plant secondary metabolites (PSMs), which may present some toxic and anti-nutritional
effects depending on the individual’s ability to deal with it.
The oral cavity has a key role in the recognition and decision processes of ingestion
or rejection. In this chapter we will first consider how goats identify foods and behave
according to the food items available. Focus will be done on the importance of taste sense
in this process and the information available on the main structures involved in taste
detection and perception in goats will be reviewed. In a second section we will focus on
the characteristics of goat’s saliva, particularly in terms of their protein composition,
presenting results obtained by our research team
