Spin-Driven Nematic Instability of the Multi-Orbital Hubbard Model: Application to Iron-Based Superconductors
Nematic order resulting from the partial melting of density-waves has been
proposed as the mechanism to explain nematicity in iron-based superconductors.
An outstanding question, however, is whether the microscopic electronic model
for these systems -- the multi-orbital Hubbard model -- displays such an
ordered state as its leading instability. In contrast to usual electronic
instabilities, such as magnetic and charge order, this fluctuation-driven
phenomenon cannot be captured by the standard RPA method. Here, by including
fluctuations beyond RPA in the multi-orbital Hubbard model, we derive its
nematic susceptibility and contrast it with its ferro-orbital order
susceptibility, showing that its leading instability is the spin-driven nematic
phase. Our results also demonstrate the primary role played by the
orbital in driving the nematic transition, and reveal that high-energy magnetic
fluctuations are essential to stabilize nematic order in the absence of
magnetic order.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure

Magnetic reconfiguration of MnAs/GaAs(001) observed by Magnetic Force Microscopy and Resonant Soft X-ray Scattering
We investigated the thermal evolution of the magnetic properties of MnAs
epitaxial films grown on GaAs(001) during the coexistence of
hexagonal/orthorhombic phases using polarized resonant (magnetic) soft X-ray
scattering and magnetic force microscopy. The results of the diffuse satellite
X-ray peaks were compared to those obtained by magnetic force microscopy and
suggest a reorientation of ferromagnetic terraces as temperature rises. By
measuring hysteresis loops at these peaks we show that this reorientation is
common to all ferromagnetic terraces. The reorientation is explained by a
simple model based on the shape anisotropy energy. Demagnetizing factors were
calculated for different configurations suggested by the magnetic images. We
noted that the magnetic moments flip from an in-plane mono-domain orientation
at lower temperatures to a three-domain out-of-plane configuration at higher
temperatures. The transition was observed when the ferromagnetic stripe width L
is equal to 2.9 times the film thickness d. This is in good agreement with the
expected theoretical value of L = 2.6d.Comment: 16 pages in PD
Optical and Near Infrared Study of the Cepheus E outflow, a very low excitation object
We present images and spectra of the Cepheus E (Cep E) region at both optical
and infrared wavelengths. Only the brightest region of the southern lobe of the
Cep E outflow reveals optical emission, suggesting that the extinction close to
the outflow source plays an important r\^ole in the observed difference between
the optical and IR morphologies. Cep E is a unique object since it provides a
link between the spectroscopic properties of the optical Herbig-Haro (HH)
objects and those of deeply embedded outflows.Comment: Accepted Astron. J., 8 files: paper, tables plus 6 figure
Tomato growth and dry matter partitioning as a function of the irrigation water quality.
Neste estudo, foram avaliados o crescimento e a partição de matéria seca do tomateiro industrial cv IPA 6, cultivado sob irrigação com águas de diferentes condutividades elétricas (ECw) e proporções de sódio, em um delineamento fatorial 5x2, inteiramente casualizado. As mudas foram transplantadas para rizotrons e irrigadas diariamente, sendo as matérias secas da haste, ramos, inflorescências e frutos determinadas no final do ciclo da cultura. O solo foi retirado dos rizotrons em intervalos de 15 cm de profundidade, lavado e peneirado para determinação da matéria seca das raízes em camada do solo. A matéria seca da parte aérea foi reduzida em 6,9% por incremento unitário da salinidade

Performing knowledge requirements analysis for public organisations in a Virtual Learning Environment: a social network analysis approach
This paper describes an application of Social Network Analysis methods for identification of knowledge demands in public organisations. Affiliation networks established in a postgraduate programme were analysed. The course was executed in a distance education mode and its students worked on public agencies. Relations established among course participants were mediated through a virtual learning environment using Moodle. Data available in Moodle may be extracted using knowledge discovery in databases techniques. Potential degrees of closeness existing among different
organisations and among researched subjects were assessed. This suggests how organisations could cooperate for
knowledge management and also how to identify their common interests. The study points out that closeness among
organisations and research topics may be assessed through affiliation networks. This opens up opportunities for applying knowledge management between organisations and creating communities of practice. Concepts of knowledge
management and social network analysis provide the theoretical and methodological basis
