Uso da ferramenta Pentaho BI-Server para obtenção de informações gerenciais do Sistema Aberto e Integrado de Informação em Agricultura (Sabiia).
Nesse contexto de ambiente de informação, acesso e extração de informações gerenciais da base de dados do sistema Sabiia, o projeto definiu como objetivo estratégico o uso de soluções livres de BI para obtenção de informações e respostas gerenciais, tais como: Quantos provedores de dados estão sendo coletados ? Quais são os provedores de dados coletados em cada país ? Qual é a quantidade de consultas efetuadas por ano, mês e país no sistema ? Quais são as buscas mais efetuadas no sistema ? Devido à maior experiência da Embrapa Informática Agropecuária no uso de soluções livres e arquitetura Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE)4 em projetos de pesquisa, o projeto Sabiia optou pelo uso da ferramenta Pentaho-BI Server5 como solução de (BI) para obtenção de informações gerenciais

Position dependent photodetector from large area reduced graphene oxide thin films
We fabricated large area infrared photodetector devices from thin film of
chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets and studied their photoresponse
as a function of laser position. We found that the photocurrent either
increases, decreases or remain almost zero depending upon the position of the
laser spot with respect to the electrodes. The position sensitive photoresponse
is explained by Schottky barrier modulation at the RGO film-electrode
interface. The time response of the photocurrent is dramatically slower than
single sheet of graphene possibly due to disorder from the chemically synthesis
and interconnecting sheets
Resonant recoil in extreme mass ratio binary black hole mergers
The inspiral and merger of a binary black hole system generally leads to an
asymmetric distribution of emitted radiation, and hence a recoil of the remnant
black hole directed opposite to the net linear momentum radiated. The recoil
velocity is generally largest for comparable mass black holes and particular
spin configurations, and approaches zero in the extreme mass ratio limit. It is
generally believed that for extreme mass ratios eta<<1, the scaling of the
recoil velocity is V {\propto} eta^2, where the proportionality coefficient
depends on the spin of the larger hole and the geometry of the system (e.g.
orbital inclination). Here we show that for low but nonzero inclination
prograde orbits and very rapidly spinning large holes (spin parameter
a*>0.9678) the inspiralling binary can pass through resonances where the
orbit-averaged radiation-reaction force is nonzero. These resonance crossings
lead to a new contribution to the kick, V {\propto} eta^{3/2}. For these
configurations and sufficiently extreme mass ratios, this resonant recoil is
dominant. While it seems doubtful that the resonant recoil will be
astrophysically significant, its existence suggests caution when extrapolating
the results of numerical kick results to extreme mass ratios and near-maximal
spins.Comment: fixed references; matches PRD accepted version (minor revision); 9

Molecular Density Functional Theory of Water describing Hydrophobicity at Short and Long Length Scales
We present an extension of our recently introduced molecular density
functional theory of water [G. Jeanmairet et al., J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 4, 619,
2013] to the solvation of hydrophobic solutes of various sizes, going from
angstroms to nanometers. The theory is based on the quadratic expansion of the
excess free energy in terms of two classical density fields, the particle
density and the multipolar polarization density. Its implementation requires as
input a molecular model of water and three measurable bulk properties, namely
the structure factor and the k-dependent longitudinal and transverse dielectric
susceptibilities. The fine three-dimensional water structure around small
hydrophobic molecules is found to be well reproduced. In contrast the computed
solvation free-energies appear overestimated and do not exhibit the correct
qualitative behavior when the hydrophobic solute is grown in size. These
shortcomings are corrected, in the spirit of the Lum-Chandler-Weeks theory, by
complementing the functional with a truncated hard-sphere functional acting
beyond quadratic order in density. It makes the resulting functional compatible
with the Van-der-Waals theory of liquid-vapor coexistence at long range.
Compared to available molecular simulations, the approach yields reasonable
solvation structure and free energy of hard or soft spheres of increasing size,
with a correct qualitative transition from a volume-driven to a surface-driven
regime at the nanometer scale.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figure
The Earth Effect in the MSW Analysis of the Solar Neutrino Experiments
We consider the Earth effect in the MSW analysis of the Homestake,
Kamiokande, GALLEX, and SAGE solar neutrino experiments. Using the
time-averaged data and assuming two-flavor oscillations, the large-angle region
of the combined fit extends to much smaller angles (to ) than when the Earth effect is ignored. However, the additional constraint
from the Kamiokande II day-night data excludes most of the parameter space
sensitive to the Earth effect independent of astrophysical uncertainties, and
leaves only a small large-angle region close to maximal mixing at 90\% C.L. The
nonadiabatic solution remains unaffected by the Earth effect and is still
preferred. Both theoretical and experimental uncertainties are included in the
analysis.Comment: (11 pages, Revtex 3.0 (can be changed to Latex), 3 postscript figures

A Common Explanation for the Atmospheric, Solar-Neutrino and Double Beta Decay Anomalies
We make a number of small changes, including correcting an error in our
heavy-neutrino decay rate. None of our analysis is changed, either in substance
or detail.Comment: 25 pages, 6 Figures, McGill-93/1
Solar Neutrinos and the Principle of Equivalence
We study the proposed solution of the solar neutrino problem which requires a
flavor nondiagonal coupling of neutrinos to gravity. We adopt a
phenomenological point of view and investigate the consequences of the
hypothesis that the neutrino weak interaction eigenstates are linear
combinations of the gravitational eigenstates which have slightly different
couplings to gravity, and , , corresponding to a
difference in red-shift between electron and muon neutrinos, . We perform a analysis of the latest available solar
neutrino data and obtain the allowed regions in the space of the relevant
parameters. The existing data rule out most of the parameter space which can be
probed in solar neutrino experiments, allowing only for small values of the mixing angle () and for large mixing (). Measurements of the -neutrino energy spectrum in the SNO and
Super-Kamiokande experiments will provide stronger constraints independent of
all considerations related to solar models. We show that these measurements
will be able to exclude part of the allowed region as well as to distinguish
between conventional oscillations and oscillations due to the violation of the
equivalence principle.Comment: 20 pages + 4 figures, IASSNS-AST 94/5
