Compressive Phase Contrast Tomography
When x-rays penetrate soft matter, their phase changes more rapidly than
their amplitude. In- terference effects visible with high brightness sources
creates higher contrast, edge enhanced images. When the object is piecewise
smooth (made of big blocks of a few components), such higher con- trast
datasets have a sparse solution. We apply basis pursuit solvers to improve SNR,
remove ring artifacts, reduce the number of views and radiation dose from phase
contrast datasets collected at the Hard X-Ray Micro Tomography Beamline at the
Advanced Light Source. We report a GPU code for the most computationally
intensive task, the gridding and inverse gridding algorithm (non uniform
sampled Fourier transform).Comment: 5 pages, "Image Reconstruction from Incomplete Data VI" conference

Mudanças climáticas, agricultura irrigada e integração de modelos.
As mudanças climáticas podem afetar a disponibilidade e a demanda de água para a agricultura irrigada, a qual depende da evaporação e precipitação. O objetivo deste artigo é propor metodologia para análise de impactos de mudanças climáticas em nível de bacia hidrográfica, através de integração de modelos globais e locais. Os Modelos de Circulação Global (GCMs) geralmente utilizados para simular o clima presente e projetar o clima futuro simulam processos na escala global ou continental. O método usado para converter saídas dos Modelos de Circulação Global em variáveis meteorológicas locais requeridas para modelagem hidrológica viável é geralmente referido como técnicas de redução de escala. A definição de um modelo conceitual permite ainda a visualização da forma de integração dos modelos e verificação das respectivas compatibilidades das escalas temporais, avaliando-se a viabilidade da própria integração e necessidade de ajustes
Lateral Casimir-Polder force with corrugated surfaces
We derive the lateral Casimir-Polder force on a ground state atom on top of a
corrugated surface, up to first order in the corrugation amplitude. Our
calculation is based on the scattering approach, which takes into account
nonspecular reflections and polarization mixing for electromagnetic quantum
fluctuations impinging on real materials. We compare our first order exact
result with two commonly used approximation methods. We show that the proximity
force approximation (large corrugation wavelengths) overestimates the lateral
force, while the pairwise summation approach underestimates it due to the
non-additivity of dispersion forces. We argue that a frequency shift
measurement for the dipolar lateral oscillations of cold atoms could provide a
striking demonstration of nontrivial geometrical effects on the quantum vacuum.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures, contribution to QFEXT07 proceeding

On the embedding of branes in five-dimensional spaces
We investigate the embedding of four-dimensional branes in five-dimensional
spaces. We firstly consider the case when the embedding space is a vacuum bulk
whose energy-momentum tensor consists of a Dirac delta function with support in
the brane. We then consider the embedding in the context of
Randall-Sundrum-type models, taking into account symmetry and a
cosmological constant. We employ the Campbell-Magaard theorem to construct the
embeddings and are led to the conclusion that the content of energy-matter of
the brane does not necessarily determine its curvature. Finally, as an
application to illustrate our results, we construct the embedding of Minkowski
spacetime filled with dust.Comment: 12 pages - REVTEX To appear in Classical and Quantum Gravit
