Plastic Deformation of 2D Crumpled Wires
When a single long piece of elastic wire is injected trough channels into a
confining two-dimensional cavity, a complex structure of hierarchical loops is
formed. In the limit of maximum packing density, these structures are described
by several scaling laws. In this paper it is investigated this packing process
but using plastic wires which give origin to completely irreversible structures
of different morphology. In particular, it is studied experimentally the
plastic deformation from circular to oblate configurations of crumpled wires,
obtained by the application of an axial strain. Among other things, it is shown
that in spite of plasticity, irreversibility, and very large deformations,
scaling is still observed.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
Planejamento estratĂ©gico multiobjetivo do MunicĂpio de SĂŁo Gabriel do Oeste.
Este artigo apresenta uma analise multicriterio realizada para o municipio de Sao Gabriel do Oeste, em Mato Grosso do Sul, visando auxiliar a tomada de decisoes para o seu planejamento estrategico e sutentavel, atraves da hierarquizacao ou priorizacao de acoes e/ou tecnologias propostas por especialistas, de forma participativa, objetivando alcancar o ecodesenvolvimento municipal. O metodo empregado foi a funcao de utilidade linear aditiva. Os resultados encontrados priorizaram, em sua maioria, as acoes ambientais, comprovando a importancia das mesmas no contexto atual do municipio. No entanto, a minimizacao dos problemas encontrados so obtera sucesso com a implementacao conjunta de acoes ambientais, sociais e economicas, observando os aspectos culturais e naturais da regiao, principalmente quanto ao uso do solo estabelecido no contexto geral no qual este subprojeto esta inserido.bitstream/item/62843/1/CNPS-CIR.-TEC.-1-99.pd

Structural properties of crumpled cream layers
The cream layer is a complex heterogeneous material of biological origin
which forms spontaneously at the air-milk interface. Here, it is studied the
crumpling of a single cream layer packing under its own weight at room
temperature in three-dimensional space. The structure obtained in these
circumstances has low volume fraction and anomalous fractal dimensions. Direct
means and noninvasive NMR imaging technique are used to investigate the
internal and external structure of these systems.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, accepted in J. Phys. D: Appl. Phy
Quenching thermal instability in the body of a thermionic arc cathode
The possibility of quenching the instability causing the appearance of spots on thermionic
cathodes of high-pressure arc discharges is demonstrated by means of numerical simulations
and experimentally. This possibility stems from the fact that the instability is of a thermal
nature and therefore slow. While of significant interest by itself, this possibility may be
exploited to prevent in real time the formation of cathode spots in arc devices.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Controlling spatiotemporal chaos in active dissipative-dispersive nonlinear systems
We present a new methodology for the stabilization and control of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems exhibiting low-dimensional spatiotemporal chaos. We show that with an appropriate choice of time-dependent controls we are able to stabilize and/or control all stable or unstable solutions, including steady solutions, traveling waves (single and multipulse ones/bound states) and spatiotemporal chaos. We exemplify our methodology with the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, a paradigmatic model of spatiotemporal chaos, which is known to exhibit a rich spectrum of wave forms and wave transitions and a rich variety of spatiotemporal structures
On the Nonabelian Aharonov Bohm Scattering of Spinless Particles
The Aharonov Bohm scattering for spinless, isospin 1/2, particles interacting
through a nonabelian Chern-Simons field is studied. Starting from the
relativistic quantum field theory and using a Coulomb gauge formulation, the
one loop renormalization program is implemented. Through the introduction of an
intermediary cutoff, separating the regions of high and low integration
momentum, the nonrelativistic limit is derived. The next to leading
relativistic approximation is also determined. In this approach quantum field
theory vacuum polarization effects are automatically incorporated.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures, revtex. Misspelled reference corrected and new

Four Fermion Field Theories and the Chern-Simons Field: A Renormalization Group Study
In (2+1) dimensions, we consider the model of a flavor, two-component
fermionic field interacting through a Chern-Simons field besides a four fermion
self-interaction which consists of a linear combination of the Gross-Neveu and
Thirring like terms. The four fermion interaction is not perturbatively
renormalizable and the model is taken as an effective field theory in the
region of low momenta. Using Zimmerman procedure for reducing coupling
constants, it is verified that, for small values of the Chern-Simons parameter,
the origin is an infrared stable fixed point but changes to ultraviolet stable
as becomes bigger than a critical . Composite operators are
also analyzed and it is shown that a specific four fermion interaction has an
improved ultraviolet behavior as increases.Comment: 9 pages, revte
On the coupling of the self-dual field to dynamical U(1) Matter and its dual theory
We consider an arbitrary U(1) charged matter non-minimally coupled to the
self-dual field in . The coupling includes a linear and a rather general
quadratic term in the self-dual field. By using both a Lagragian gauge
embedding and a master action approaches we derive the dual Maxwell
Chern-Simons type model and show the classical equivalence between the two
theories. At quantum level the master action approach in general requires the
addition of an awkward extra term to the Maxwell Chern-Simons type theory. Only
in the case of a linear coupling in the self-dual field the extra term can be
dropped and we are able to establish the quantum equivalence of gauge invariant
correlation functions in both theories.Comment: two citations and references corrected, 13 page
