Comparison of Monomethylhydrazine/Hydroxypropylcellulose and Hydrocarbon/Silica Gels
Experimental studies have been performed to investigate rheology and droplet burning with different types of gelled propellants. Monomethylhydrazine has been gelled with organic hydroxypropylcellulose. JP-8 and RP-1 hydrocarbon gels have been produced with inorganic fumed silica particles. Rheological characterization showed the differences in terms of viscosity and yield stress behavior due to different types of gelling agents. Herschel-Bulkley and Carreau-Yasuda models have been used to characterize the gels with inorganic and organic gelling agents, respectively. First experiments with the Monomethylhydrazine/hydroxypropylcellulose gels showed a typical swelling process during combustion with a flexible viscous droplet surface. Contrary to that, the hydrocarbon/silica gels burned while a rigid silica structure was built, which remained unburned. Burning drop measurements have been compared to the d^2-squared law
Surface acoustic wave modulation of single photon emission from GaN/InGaN nanowire quantum dots
On-chip quantum information processing requires controllable quantum light
sources that can be operated on-demand at high-speeds and with the possibility
of in-situ control of the photon emission wavelength and its optical
polarization properties. Here, we report on the dynamic control of the optical
emission from core-shell GaN/InGaN nanowire (NW) heterostructures using radio
frequency surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The SAWs are excited on the surface of
a piezoelectric lithium niobate crystal equipped with a SAW delay line onto
which the NWs were mechanically transferred. Luminescent quantum dot (QD)-like
exciton localization centers induced by compositional fluctuations within the
InGaN nanoshell were identified using stroboscopic micro-photoluminescence
(micro-PL) spectroscopy. They exhibit narrow and almost fully linearly
polarized emission lines in the micro-PL spectra and a pronounced anti-bunching
signature of single photon emission in the photon correlation experiments. When
the nanowire is perturbed by the propagating SAW, the embedded QD is
periodically strained and its excitonic transitions are modulated by the
acousto-mechanical coupling, giving rise to a spectral fine-tuning within a
~1.5 meV bandwidth at the acoustic frequency of ~330 MHz. This outcome can be
further combined with spectral detection filtering for temporal control of the
emitted photons. The effect of the SAW piezoelectric field on the QD charge
population and on the optical polarization degree is also observed. The
advantage of the acousto-optoelectric over other control schemes is that it
allows in-situ manipulation of the optical emission properties over a wide
frequency range (up to GHz frequencies).Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1902.0791
Manejo integrado de pragas do mamoeiro.
O manejo integrado de pragas de plantas objetiva a redução da incidência e da severidade de pragas a fim de prevenir danos por elas causados. Para a execução do manejo integrado é necessário fazer inspeções nos pomares, de modo a fornecer dados seguros para as decisões a serem tomadas, não só para o controle das pragas, mas também para a preservação dos inimigos naturais e do meio ambiente (Martins, 2003; Santos Filho et al., 2007). Isto deve ser feito de maneira integrada, envolvendo o uso simultâneo ou isolado de diversas medidas de controle: genéticas, químicas, físicas, biológicas, culturais, as quais se baseiam nos princípios de controle tais como exclusão, erradicação, proteção, imunização, terapia, regulação e evasão
