A Random Multifractal Tilling
We develop a multifractal random tilling that fills the square. The
multifractal is formed by an arrangement of rectangular blocks of different
sizes, areas and number of neighbors. The overall feature of the tilling is an
heterogeneous and anisotropic random self-affine object. The multifractal is
constructed by an algorithm that makes successive sections of the square. At
each -step there is a random choice of a parameter related to the
section ratio. For the case of random choice between and we
find analytically the full spectrum of fractal dimensions
Anisotropy and percolation threshold in a multifractal support
Recently a multifractal object, , was proposed to study percolation
properties in a multifractal support. The area and the number of neighbors of
the blocks of show a non-trivial behavior. The value of the
probability of occupation at the percolation threshold, , is a function
of , a parameter of which is related to its anisotropy. We
investigate the relation between and the average number of neighbors of
the blocks as well as the anisotropy of
Observations of OJ 287 from the Geodetic VLBI Archive of the Washington Correlator
We present 27 geodetic VLBI maps of OJ 287 obtained from the archive of the
Washington correlator. The observations presented here were made between 1990
October and 1996 December. During this period a sequence of six superluminal
components has been identified. We measured the proper motion of these
components to be approximately 0.5 mas/yr, which is about twice as high as that
seen in previous VLBI observations. These results imply a higher component
ejection rate than previously observed, in good agreement with the observed
occurrences of radio outbursts. We have examined a possible connection between
VLBI components and optical flares in the framework of a binary black hole
system.Comment: 9 pages, 5 included figures, emulateapj.sty, accepted to The

Seismic entangled patterns analyzed via multiresolution decomposition
This article explores a method for distinguishing entangled coherent structures embedded in geophysical images. The original image is decomposed in a series of j-scale-images using multiresolution decomposition. To improve the image processing analysis each j-image is divided in l-spacial regions generating set of (j, l)-regions. At each (j, l)-region we apply a continuous wavelet transform to evaluate <i>E</i><sub>&nu;</sub>, the spectrum of energy. <i>E</i><sub>&nu;</sub> has two maxima in the original data. Otherwise, at each scale <i>E</i><sub>&nu;</sub> hast typically one peak. The localization of the peaks changes according to the (j, l)-region. The intensity of the peaks is linked with the presence of coherent structures, or patterns, at the respective (j, l)-region. The method is successfully applied to distinguish, in scale and region, the ground roll noise from the relevant geologic information in the signal
Caracterização e prospecção de demanda dos produtores de banana do Norte de Minas Gerais ? Brasil.
O Norte de Minas é o terceiro maior polo produtor de banana do país, com produção de 322,4 mil toneladas em 14,1 mil hectares, com valor da produção de R$ 369,0 milhões, posicionando-se logo após o Vale do Ribeira em São Paulo e o Norte Catarinense em Santa Catarina, respectivamente, primeiro e segundo maiores polos produtores de banana do Brasil (1). Em Minas Gerais a região destaca-se como a maior produtora, sendo responsável por 49,3% da banana produzida no Estado. É a principal fruteira cultivada no Norte de Minas, o que corresponde a 59,5% da produção de frutas da região
Grupo de interesse em pesquisa em agricultura de precisão: desenvolvimento de um site.
A proposta deste trabalho é a apresentação do WebSite relativo ao Grupo de Interesse em Pesquisa (GIP) em Agricultura de Precisão.
