    Symbolic Sequences and Tsallis Entropy

    Full text link
    We address this work to investigate symbolic sequences with long-range correlations by using computational simulation. We analyze sequences with two, three and four symbols that could be repeated ll times, with the probability distribution p(l)1/lμp(l)\propto 1/ l^{\mu}. For these sequences, we verified that the usual entropy increases more slowly when the symbols are correlated and the Tsallis entropy exhibits, for a suitable choice of qq, a linear behavior. We also study the chain as a random walk-like process and observe a nonusual diffusive behavior depending on the values of the parameter μ\mu.Comment: Published in the Brazilian Journal of Physic

    Os xenólitos ultramáficos, existentes em lavas basálticas alcalinas/nefeliníticas da Ilha de Santo Antão (Cabo Verde), incluem uma série harzburgítica e uma série dunítica/wehrlítica; a série harzburgítica apresenta características texturais/mineralógicas complexas e é mais refractária (Fo = 90-92) do que a série dos dunitos/wehrlitos (Fo = 82-88). Os xenólitos duníticos e wehrlíticos são, essencialmente, acumulados de olivina e espinela, com clinopiroxena intercumulus. A química mineral e os dados geotermométricos sugerem que os xenólitos duníticos/wehrlíticos cristalizaram a ~ 1000 ºC a partir de magmas alcalinos e acumularam em câmaras magmáticas profundas, sob a ilha de Santo Antão. Os xenólitos harzburgíticos são constituidos por olivina + ortopiroxena + espinela ± clinopiroxena. De acordo com as relações texturais e mineralógicas, os xenólitos harzburgíticos foram divididos em 3 grupos: I - protogranular, II - protogranular metassomatizado e III - porfiroclástico. A evolução térmica complexa registada nestes xenólitos, os elevados valores de fO2 (?FNIQ = 0.7 1.9) e o desenvolvimento de abundantes inclusões fluidas ricas em CO2, são atribuídos à infiltração recente nos harzburgitos de melts, aprisionados/cristalizados no interior do manto; estas características e a natureza refractária da série harzburgítica, apoiam a interpretação de que estes xenólitos representam litosfera oceânica empobrecida, modificada pelo magmatismo associado à génese da Ilha de Santo Antão

    ABSTRACT: Santo Antão Island is the northernmost island of the Cape Verde Archipelago that is located in the Atlantic Ocean between 17º 13’N-14º 48’N and 22º 42’W-25º 22’W. The genesis of this Archipelago is explained by the activity of a hot-spot, which began 25 My ago. The main stratigraphic sequences of Santo Antão island (Silva et al., 1994; 2004) have been dated by Plesner et al. (2003) and comprise, from base to top, the “Complexo Eruptivo Antigo” (7.57 ± 0.56 My) the “Formação Conglomerático-Brechóide”, the “Formação Eruptiva Principal” (3.24 ± 0.89 to 0.22 ± 0.03 My) (which is overlain by a white phonolitic deposit pumice) and the “Formação Eruptiva do Tope de Coroa” (0.17 ± 0.02 My to 0.09 ± 0.03 My). The “Complexo Eruptivo Antigo” includes chiefly basaltic flows. The “Formação Conglomerático-Brechóide” is a sedimentary unit formed during an intensive erosion period and was followed by an important volcanic event, represented by the “Formação Eruptiva Principal”, comprising nephelinitic, phonolitic, tephritic and basanitic lava flows. The “Formação Eruptiva do Tope de Coroa”, the most recent unit of the island, was divided (Silva et al. 2004) into three sub-units (figure 1): “Sequência Antiga”, “Sequência Intermédia” and “Sequência Superior”. The “Sequência Antiga” is composed by phonolitic and nephelinitic flows and scorias, the “Sequência Intermédia” comprises basaltic flows and scorias and the “Sequência Superior” includes basaltic, phonolitic and nephelinitic flows and scorias. Santo Antão recent lavas are silica undersaturated (carrying abundant feldspathoids, particularly hauyne), alkaline and considerably evolved (Mg#=13-53 wt%, Ni=0-252 ppm, Cr=0-434 ppm). They display a strong enrichment in incompatible trace elements, suggesting that their primary magmas were produced by low degrees of partial melting, from a heterogeneous, metassomatized, source (including residual garnet and phlogopite), with a significant HIMU component.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Attractive Forces Between Electrons in QED3_{3}

    Vacuum polarization effects are non-perturbatively incorporated into the photon propagator to eliminate the severe infrared problems characteristic of QED3_3. The theory is thus rephrased in terms of a massive vector boson whose mass is e2/(8π)e^2/(8\pi). Subsequently, it is shown that electron-electron bound states are possible in QED3_3.Comment: revtex, 10 pages and four figures, IFUSP/P-98
