Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida da Utilização do Resíduo do Beneficiamento de Rochas Ornamentais em Materiais de Construção Civil à Base de Cimento.
Estudos técnicos laboratoriais demonstram a viabilidade da utilização do resíduo do beneficiamento de rochas ornamentais (RBRO) para a fabricação de materiais de construção civil. Porém, referente ao aspecto ambiental, há necessidade de justificar seu uso por uma ótica adequada. Portanto, este estudo apresenta a avaliação do ciclo de vida (ACV) do uso do RBRO para produção de materiais de construção civil de matrizes cimentícias. Ao todo, 127 traços de materiais são analisados, como argamassas, concretos, blocos de vedação e pavimentação. Os impactos do processo de secagem e logística do RBRO são apresentados, bem como de sua queima para produção do resíduo tratado termicamente (RBROTT). O RBRO apresenta-se como uma boa alternativa para redução de impacto ambiental no estado do Espírito Santo (ES), seja substituindo o fíler calcário, a areia ou pó de pedra. Os resultados também mostram que alternativas de secagem artificial implicam em um grande aumento do impacto do RBRO, e que sua queima produz uma pozolana (RBROTT) com impacto similar ao do cimento CPII-E. Para produção dos traços, a substituição do cimento foi a abordagem mais comumente utilizada, causando reduções dos indicadores de impacto ambiental de 7,7 a 9,0% a cada 10% de RBRO

Nonrelativistic Quantum Analysis of the Charged Particle-Dyon System on a Conical Spacetime
In this paper we develop the nonrelativistic quantum analysis of the charged
particle-dyon system in the spacetime produced by an idealized cosmic string.
In order to do that, we assume that the dyon is superposed to the cosmic
string. Considering this peculiar configuration {\it conical} monopole
harmonics are constructed, which are a generalizations of previous monopole
harmonics obtained by Wu and Yang(1976 {\it Nucl. Phys. B} {\bf 107} 365)
defined on a conical three-geometry. Bound and scattering wave functions are
explicitly derived. As to bound states, we present the energy spectrum of the
system, and analyze how the presence of the topological defect modifies
obtained result. We also analyze this system admitting the presence of an extra
isotropic harmonic potential acting on the particle. We show that the presence
of this potential produces significant changes in the energy spectrum of the
system.Comment: Paper accepted for publication in Classical and Quantum Gravit
Field and intensity correlations in random media
Measurements of the microwave field transmitted through a random medium
allows direct access to the field correlation function, whose complex square is
the short range or C1 contribution to the intensity correlation function C. The
frequency and spatial correlation function are compared to their Fourier pairs,
the time of flight distribution and the specific intensity, respectively. The
longer range contribution to intensity correlation is obtained directly by
subtracting C1 from C and is in good agreement with theory.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Phys.Rev.
Extended DFT+U+V method with on-site and inter-site electronic interactions
In this article we introduce a generalization of the popular DFT+U method
based on the extended Hubbard model that includes on-site and inter-site
electronic interactions. The novel corrective Hamiltonian is designed to study
systems for which electrons are not completely localized on atomic states
(according to the general scheme of Mott localization) and hybridization
between orbitals from different sites plays an important role. The application
of the extended functional to archetypal Mott - charge-transfer (NiO) and
covalently bonded insulators (Si and GaAs) demonstrates its accuracy and
versatility and the possibility to obtain a unifying and equally accurate
description for a broad range of very diverse systems
Measurement of the Probability Distribution of Total Transmission in Random Waveguides
Measurements have been made of the probability distribution of total
transmission of microwave radiation in waveguides filled with randomly
positioned scatterers which would have values of the dimensionless conductance
g near unity. The distributions are markedly non-Gaussian and have exponential
tails. The measured distributions are accurately described by diagrammatic and
random matrix calculations carried out for nonabsorbing samples in the limit g
>> 1 when g is expressed in terms of the variance of the distribution, which
equals the degree of long-range intensity correlation across the output face of
the sample.Comment: 5 pages, 5 post script figures, RevTe
Ballistic Transport Through Chaotic Cavities: Can Parametric Correlations and the Weak Localization Peak be Described by a Brownian Motion Model?
A Brownian motion model is devised on the manifold of S-matrices, and applied
to the calculation of conductance-conductance correlations and of the weak
localization peak. The model predicts that (i) the correlation function in
has the same shape and width as the weak localization peak; (ii) the functions
behave as , thus excluding a linear line shape; and
(iii) their width increases as the square root of the number of channels in the
leads. Some of these predictions agree with experiment and with other
calculations only in the limit of small and a large number of channels.Comment: 5 pages revtex (twocolumn

A Theory for High- Superconductors Considering Inhomogeneous Charge Distribution
We propose a general theory for the critical and pseudogap
temperature dependence on the doping concentration for high- oxides,
taking into account the charge inhomogeneities in the planes. The well
measured experimental inhomogeneous charge density in a given compound is
assumed to produce a spatial distribution of local . These differences
in the local charge concentration is assumed to yield insulator and metallic
regions, possibly in a stripe morphology. In the metallic region, the
inhomogeneous charge density yields also spatial distributions of
superconducting critical temperatures and zero temperature gap
. For a given sample, the measured onset of vanishing gap
temperature is identified as the pseudogap temperature, that is, , which
is the maximum of all . Below , due to the distribution of
's, there are some superconducting regions surrounded by insulator or
metallic medium. The transition to a superconducting state corresponds to the
percolation threshold among the superconducting regions with different
's. To model the charge inhomogeneities we use a double branched
Poisson-Gaussian distribution. To make definite calculations and compare with
the experimental results, we derive phase diagrams for the BSCO, LSCO and YBCO
families, with a mean field theory for superconductivity using an extended
Hubbard Hamiltonian. We show also that this novel approach provides new
insights on several experimental features of high- oxides.Comment: 7 pages, 5 eps figures, corrected typo
Spatial field correlation, the building block of mesoscopic fluctuations
The absence of self averaging in mesoscopic systems is a consequence of
long-range intensity correlation. Microwave measurements suggest and
diagrammatic calculations confirm that the correlation function of the
normalized intensity with displacement of the source and detector,
and , respectively, can be expressed as the sum of three terms, with
distinctive spatial dependences. Each term involves only the sum or the product
of the square of the field correlation function, . The
leading-order term is the product, the next term is proportional to the sum.
The third term is proportional to .Comment: Submitted to PR
