Thermodynamically stable noncomposite vortices in mesoscopic two-gap superconductors
In mesoscopic two-gap superconductors with sizes of the order of the
coherence length noncomposite vortices are found to be thermodynamically stable
in a large domain of the phase diagram. In these phases the vortex
cores of one condensate are spatially separated from the other condensate ones,
and their respective distributions can adopt distinct symmetries. The
appearance of these vortex phases is caused by a non-negligible effect of the
boundary of the sample on the superconducting order parameter and represents
therefore a genuine mesoscopic effect. For low values of interband Josephson
coupling vortex patterns with can arise in addition to the
phases with , where and are total vorticities in the two
condensates. The calculations show that noncomposite vortices could be observed
in thin mesoscopic samples of MgB.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, to be published in Europhysics Letter
Experimental evidence of shock mitigation in a Hertzian tapered chain
We present an experimental study of the mechanical impulse propagation
through a horizontal alignment of elastic spheres of progressively decreasing
diameter , namely a tapered chain. Experimentally, the diameters of
spheres which interact via the Hertz potential are selected to keep as close as
possible to an exponential decrease, , where the
experimental tapering factor is either ~% or ~%.
In agreement with recent numerical results, an impulse initiated in a
monodisperse chain (a chain of identical beads) propagates without shape
changes, and progressively transfer its energy and momentum to a propagating
tail when it further travels in a tapered chain. As a result, the front pulse
of this wave decreases in amplitude and accelerates. Both effects are
satisfactorily described by the hard spheres approximation, and basically, the
shock mitigation is due to partial transmissions, from one bead to the next, of
momentum and energy of the front pulse. In addition when small dissipation is
included, a better agreement with experiments is found. A close analysis of the
loading part of the experimental pulses demonstrates that the front wave adopts
itself a self similar solution as it propagates in the tapered chain. Finally,
our results corroborate the capability of these chains to thermalize
propagating impulses and thereby act as shock absorbing devices.Comment: ReVTeX, 7 pages with 6 eps, accepted for Phys. Rev. E (Related papers

Avaliação da produtividade e teor de óleo em nove genótipos de mamoneira cultivados em baixa altitude.
Performance da densidade de plantas em cultivares comerciais de feijão-caupi nos cerrados do leste maranhense.
Entre os vários fatores que influenciam o rendimento de grãos (RG) a densidade de plantas (DP) é um dos mais importantes e seus efeitos podem variar com o tipo da planta. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a performance do feijão-caupi (FC) de portes ereto (E), semi-ereto (SE) e semi-prostrado (SP), em diferentes DP (8, 12, 16, 20, 24 e 28 plantas m-2; portes E e SE e 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 e 22 plantas m-2; porte SP). Os ensaios foram conduzidos no município de Mata Roma, MA, ano agrícola 2011/2012. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos casualizados com quatro repetições e os tratamentos representados pelas DP. Os RG e o número de vagens por área (NVA) responderam quadraticamente ao aumento da DP enquanto resposta linear foi observada para o número de vagens por planta.CONAC 2012.

Wave localization in strongly nonlinear Hertzian chains with mass defect
We investigate the dynamical response of a mass defect in a one-dimensional
non-loaded horizontal chain of identical spheres which interact via the
nonlinear Hertz potential. Our experiments show that the interaction of a
solitary wave with a light intruder excites localized mode. In agreement with
dimensional analysis, we find that the frequency of localized oscillations
exceeds the incident wave frequency spectrum and nonlinearly depends on the
size of the intruder and on the incident wave strength. The absence of tensile
stress between grains allows some gaps to open, which in turn induce a
significant enhancement of the oscillations amplitude. We performed numerical
simulations that precisely describe our observations without any adjusting
parameters.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, submitted for publicatio
Densidade populacional em cultivares de feijão-caupi com diferentes portes de planta, na Região do Matopiba.
The aim of this study was to assess the productive performance of cowpea cultivars with different growth habits as a function of population density in the MATOPIBA region, Brazil. The experiments were carried out in Magalhães de Almeida, MA in the agricultural season 2014/2015. The cultivars BRS Itaim, BRS Tumucumaque, and BRS Pajeú, which present an erect, semi-erect, and semi-prostrate growth habits, respectively, were assessed..
