    Evidence for entanglement at high temperatures in an engineered molecular magnet

    Full text link
    The molecular compound [Fe2_{2}(μ2\mu_{2}-oxo)(C3_{3}H4_{4}N2_{2})6_{6}(C2_{2}O4_{4})2_{2}] was designed and synthesized for the first time and its structure was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The magnetic susceptibility of this compound was measured from 2 to 300 K. The analysis of the susceptibility data using protocols developed for other spin singlet ground-state systems indicates that the quantum entanglement would remain at temperatures up to 732 K, significantly above the highest entanglement temperature reported to date. The large gap between the ground state and the first-excited state (282 K) suggests that the spin system may be somewhat immune to decohering mechanisms. Our measurements strongly suggest that molecular magnets are promising candidate platforms for quantum information processing

    Avaliação de sobrevivência e desempenho de "SEEDLINGS" de Umbuzeiro ( Spondias tuberosa ) após dois períodos de incubação de substrato contendo farelo de mamona.

    O umbuzeiro (Spondias tuberosa Arruda Câmara) é uma frutífera nativa da região Nordeste do Brasil, representando fonte de emprego e renda no período da safra, para as populações na área de ocorrência natural das plantas. Estudos indicam que o uso racional de farelo de mamona poderá disponibilizar às plantas quantidades suficiente de nutrientes, dispensando o uso complementar de fertilizante mineral, em especial os nitrogenados

    Crescimento vegetativo de novos porta-enxertos híbridos de citros.

    Get PDF
    Os frutos cítricos representam 23% da produção mundial de frutas e há décadas o Brasil ocupa posição de destaque na citricultura internacional, com um parque citrícola de 802,5 mil ha. Esta posição é vulnerável, devido ao predomínio do limoeiro ?Cravo? (Citrus limonia Osbeck) como único porta-enxerto na sustentação dos pomares. Nesse contexto, a Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura vem executando um programa de hibridações visando criar novas variedades, principalmente porta-enxertos, adaptadas a diferentes regiões geográficas do País.PDF. 108_11

    The objective was to assess the colchicine and amiprophos-methyl (APM) concentration and exposure period in the chromosome duplication of breed banana plants diploids. Banana stem tips were used from the following genotypes: breed diploids (1304-04 [Malaccensis x Madang (Musa acuminata spp. banksii)] and 8694-15 [0337-02 (Calcutta x Galeo) x SH32-63]). Colchicine was used at concentrations of 0 (control treatment), 1.25, 2.5 and 5.0 mM, while APM was used at 0 (control treatment), 40 and 80 μM, in solution under agitation (20 rpm), for 24 and 48 h periods. With the use of APM, 66.67% tetraploid plants were obtained in the 1304-04 genotype using 40 μM for 24 h and 18.18% in 80 μM for 48 h, while in the 8694-15 genotype using 40 and 80 μM colchicine for 48 h, 27.27 and 21.43% tetraploid plants were observed, respectively. For colchicine, in the 1304-04 genotype, only the 1.25 mM treatment for 48 h presented 25% tetraploid plants and in the 8694-15 genotype, the 5.0 mM concentration for 48 h produced 50% tetraploid plants. APM for 24 h enabled the tetraploid plant of the 1304-04 genotype to be obtained, while colchicine for 48 h resulted in tetraploid plants in the 8694-15 genotype.Key words: Musa acuminata, antimitotic, flow cytometry, tissue culture

    Natural and Eco-Friendly Materials for Triboelectric Energy Harvesting

    Get PDF
    Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are promising electric energy harvesting devices as they can produce renewable clean energy using mechanical excitations from the environment. Several designs of triboelectric energy harvesters relying on biocompatible and eco-friendly natural materials have been introduced in recent years. Their ability to provide customizable self-powering for a wide range of applications, including biomedical devices, pressure and chemical sensors, and battery charging appliances, has been demonstrated. This review summarizes major advances already achieved in the field of triboelectric energy harvesting using biocompatible and eco-friendly natural materials. A rigorous, comparative, and critical analysis of preparation and testing methods is also presented. Electric power up to 14 mW was already achieved for the dry leaf/polyvinylidene fluoride-based TENG devices. These findings highlight the potential of eco-friendly self-powering systems and demonstrate the unique properties of the plants to generate electric energy for multiple applications.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]. © 2020, © 2020, The Author(s).Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia para Excitotoxicidade e Neuroproteção, INCT-ENMinistry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, MinobrnaukaFundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, FCT: SFRH/BPD/117475/2016, CENTRO-01-0145-FEDER-031679, POCI-01-0145-FEDER-031132This work was developed within the scope of the project CICECO-Aveiro Institute of Materials, refs.

    Random walk on random walks

    In this paper we study a random walk in a one-dimensional dynamic random environment consisting of a collection of independent particles performing simple symmetric random walks in a Poisson equilibrium with density ¿¿(0,8). At each step the random walk performs a nearest-neighbour jump, moving to the right with probability p° when it is on a vacant site and probability p· when it is on an occupied site. Assuming that p°¿(0,1) and p·¿12, we show that the position of the random walk satisfies a strong law of large numbers, a functional central limit theorem and a large deviation bound, provided ¿ is large enough. The proof is based on the construction of a renewal structure together with a multiscale renormalisation argument
