Limits of the energy-momentum tensor in general relativity

A limiting diagram for the Segre classification of the energy-momentum tensor is obtained and discussed in connection with a Penrose specialization diagram for the Segre types. A generalization of the coordinate-free approach to limits of Paiva et al. to include non-vacuum space-times is made. Geroch's work on limits of space-times is also extended. The same argument also justifies part of the procedure for classification of a given spacetime using Cartan scalars.Comment: LaTeX, 21 page

Limits of space-times in five dimensions and their relation to the Segre Types

A limiting diagram for the Segre classification in 5-dimensional space-times is obtained, extending a recent work on limits of the energy-momentum tensor in general relativity. Some of Geroch's results on limits of space-times in general relativity are also extended to the context of five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein space-times.Comment: Late

Charge-density waves in one-dimensional Hubbard superlattices

We study the formation of charge density waves (CDW's) in one-dimensional Hubbard superlattices, modeled by a repeated pattern of repulsive (U>0) and free (U=0) sites. By means of Lanczos diagonalizations for the ground state, we calculate the charge structure factor. Our results show that while the superlattice structure affects the modulation of the charge density waves, the periodicity can still be predicted through an effective density. We also show that, for a fixed repulsive layer thickness, the periodicity of the CDW is an oscillatory function of the free layer thickness.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Modulation of charge-density waves by superlattice structures

We discuss the interplay between electronic correlations and an underlying superlattice structure in determining the period of charge density waves (CDW's), by considering a one-dimensional Hubbard model with a repeated (non-random) pattern of repulsive (U>0) and free (U=0) sites. Density matrix renormalization group diagonalization of finite systems (up to 120 sites) is used to calculate the charge-density correlation function and structure factor in the ground state. The modulation period can still be predicted through effective Fermi wavevectors, k_F*, and densities, and we have found that it is much more sensitive to electron (or hole) doping, both because of the narrow range of densities needed to go from q*=0 to \pi, but also due to sharp 2k_F*-4k_F* transitions; these features render CDW's more versatile for actual applications in heterostructures than in homogeneous systems.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, to appear in Phys Rev

Variabilidade para teor de tanino em sorgo (Sorghum bicolor L.) e sua associação com a resistência a pássaros.

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi verificar a variabilidade existente entre diversos materiais geneticos quanto ao teor de tanino e resistencia a passaros nas fases de grao leitoso, grao pastoso, maturacao fisiologicas e de colheita. O experimento foi conduzido no delineamento blocos casualizados em tres repeticoes e semeadura em outubro/89 no Centro Nacional de Pesquisa de Milho e Sorgo (CNPMS/EMBRAPA) em Sete Lagoas, Estado de Minas Gerais. Os resultados mostraram maior teor de tanino na materia seca na fase de grao leitoso. No entanto, quando se considerou o conteudo de tanino na materia verde do grao, os resultados mostraram maior teor nas fases de maturacao fisiologicas ou de colheita para sorgo de alto tanino (valores maiores que 1%). O dano causado por passaro iniciou-se na fase de grao pastoso, sendo que todos os materiais geneticos resistentes apresentaram alto teor de tanino no grao na fase de colheita
