The entropy of the noncommutative acoustic black hole based on generalized uncertainty principle
In this paper we investigate statistical entropy of a 3-dimensional rotating
acoustic black hole based on generalized uncertainty principle. In our results
we obtain an area entropy and a correction term associated with the
noncommutative acoustic black hole when introduced in the generalized
uncertainty principle takes a specific value. However, in this method, it is
not needed to introduce the ultraviolet cut-off and divergences are eliminated.
Moreover, the small mass approximation is not necessary in the original
brick-wall model.Comment: 9 pages, no figures; version to appear in PLB. arXiv admin note:

New Green-Kubo formulas for transport coefficients in hard sphere-, Langevin fluids and the likes
We present generalized Green-Kubo expressions for thermal transport
coefficients in non-conservative fluid-type systems, of the generic form,
+\int^\infty_0 dt V^{-1} \av{I_\epsilon \exp(t {\cal L})
I}_0 where is a pseudo-streaming operator. It consists of a
sum of an instantaneous transport coefficient , and a time integral
over a time correlation function in a state of thermal equilibrium between a
current and its conjugate current . This formula with
and covers vastly different systems,
such as strongly repulsive elastic interactions in hard sphere fluids, weakly
interacting Langevin fluids with dissipative and stochastic interactions
satisfying detailed balance conditions, and "the likes", defined in the text.
For conservative systems the results reduce to the standard formulas.Comment: 7 pages, no figures. Version 2: changes in the text and references

Programas de controle das mastites causadas por microrganismos contagiosos e do ambiente
Este trabalho foi elaborado com o objetivo de apresentar os conceitos em que se baseiam os programas de controle da mastite, em uso na maioria das indústrias leiteiras desenvolvidas. Foram abordados os fundamentos dos programas de controle, as características dos patógenos mais comuns, os fatores relacionados à ocorrência da doença e a síntese do programa de controle. Destina-se prioritariamente a médicos veterinários e estudantes, embora outros profissionais e produtores interessados no tema possam também usá-lo.bitstream/item/81916/1/Programas-de-controle-das-mastites.pd
Effective models of quantum gravity induced by Planck scale modifications in the covariant quantum algebra
In this paper we introduce a modified covariant quantum algebra based in the
so-called Quesne-Tkachuk algebra. By means of a deformation procedure we arrive
at a class of higher derivative models of gravity. The study of the particle
spectra of these models reveals an equivalence with the physical content of the
well-known renormalizable and super-renormalizable higher derivative gravities.
The particle spectrum exhibits the presence of spurious complex ghosts and, in
light of this problem, we suggest an interesting interpretation in the context
of minimal length theories. Also, a discussion regarding the non-relativistic
potential energy is proposed.Comment: Small corrections were made; improved figures; results unchanged;

Asymmetrical bloch branes and the hierarchy problem
We investigate a two scalar fields split braneworld model which leads to a
possible approach to the hierarchy problem within the thick brane scenario. The
model exhibits a resulting asymmetric warp factor suitable for this purpose.
The solution is obtained by means of the orbit equation approach for a specific
value of one of the parameters. Besides, we analyze the model qualitative
behaviour for arbitrary parameters by inspecting the underlying dynamical
system defined by the equations which give rise to the braneworld model. We
finalize commenting on the metric fluctuation and stability issues.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figure
Helminth infections, atopy, asthma and allergic diseases: protocol for a systematic review of observational studies worldwide.
INTRODUCTION: Childhood infections, particularly those caused by helminths are considered to be important environmental exposures influencing the development of allergic diseases. However, epidemiological studies focusing on the relationship between helminth infections and risk of allergic diseases, performed worldwide, show inconsistent findings. Previous systematic reviews of observational studies published 10 or more years ago showed conflicting findings for effects of helminths on allergic diseases. Over the past 10 years there has been growing literature addressing this research area and these need to be considered in order to appreciate the most contemporary evidence. The objective of the current systematic review will be to provide an up-to-date synthesis of findings of observational studies investigating the influence of helminth infections on atopy, and allergic diseases. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This systematic review protocol was registered at PROSPERO. We will search Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED, ISI Web of Science, WHO Global Health Library, Scielo, IndMed, PakMediNet, KoreaMed, Ichushi for published studies from 1970 to January 2020. Bibliographies of all eligible studies will be reviewed to identify additional studies. Unpublished and ongoing research will also be searched in key databases. There will be no language or geographical restrictions regarding publications. Critical Appraisal Skills Programme quality assessment tool will be used to appraise methodological quality of included studies. A descriptive summary with data tables will be constructed, and if adequate, meta-analysis using random-effects will be performed. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist will be followed for reporting of the systematic review. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Since this systematic review will be only based on published and retrievable literature, no ethics approval will be sought. The multidisciplinary team performing this systematic review will participate in relevant dissemination activities. Findings will be presented at scientific meetings and publish the systematic review in international, peer-reviewed, open-access journals. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42020167249
