Superspace Action for the First Massive States of the Superstring

Using the manifestly spacetime-supersymmetric version of open superstring field theory, we construct the free action for the first massive states of the open superstring compactified to four dimensions. This action is in N=1 D=4 superspace and describes a massive spin-2 multiplet coupled to two massive scalar multiplets.Comment: 8 pages harvmac te

Structure of the Isovector Dipole Resonance in Neutron-Rich 60Ca^{60}Ca Nucleus and Direct Decay from Pygmy Resonance

The structure of the isovector dipole resonance in neutron-rich calcium isotope, $^{60}Ca$, has been investigated by implementing a careful treatment of the differences of neutron and proton radii in the continuum random phase approximation ($RPA$). The calculations have taken into account the current estimates of the neutron skin. The estimates of the escape widths for direct neutron decay from the pygmy dipole resonance ($PDR$) were shown rather wide, implicating a strong coupling to the continuum. The width of the giant dipole resonance ($GDR$) was evaluated, bringing on a detailed discussion about its microscopic structure.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures, RevTex

A classification model of the lean barriers and enablers: a case from Brazilian healthcare

Lean is widely known as an approach to improve the process, reducing wastes and adding value to the customer. However, around 70% of the lean projects fail during its journey, this situation is related to barriers and enablers to implement lean projects. Thus, this paper aims to analyse and classify lean barriers and enablers into an organizational model. The methodology is based on systematic literature review as well as a case study. The paper presents a classification model into seven organizational aspects as well as propositions related to patient’s behaviour and the public healthcare system

This diversity provides unique opportunities and challenges for employers and managers. Oftentimes before this diverse workforce enters employment, universities and colleges were charged with preparing and educating them. Unlike online teaching, traditional teaching with reading assignments and paper-pencil tests may lend itself better to educating a generationally diverse student group. Online teaching multiple generations is more challenging especially when attempting to encompass several generations of diverse learners. Instructors must consider and include both the digital native and the digital novice or digital immigrant when designing instructional and assessment material. Instructors may have a student with a dozen or more devices and another student with only one “dumb” phone. Additionally, instructors need to consider issues of accessibility and equity in designing instructional and assessment materials across multiple generations. Current research on the characteristics of the five generations of employees includes an examination of education values, communication style, and motivation across the generations. This presentation will demonstrate how instructors can use the intergenerational workforce research to effectively design an intergenerational-inclusive online course. Importance: 1. Attendees will review intergenerational workforce research as related to online learners. 2. Attendees will review research related to online learners, digital natives, and digital novices/immigrants. 3. Attendees will explore the development of an intergenerationally-inclusive online course. Suggested Audience: Faculty Presentation Needs: n/

Potencial agrícola do solo para cultivo da melancia.

A cultura da melancia tem grande importância socio-econômica no Nordeste brasileiro, por ser cultivada principalmente por pequenos agricultores, sob condições irrigadas e de chuva, devido ao seu fácil manejo e menor custo de produção, quando comparada a outras hortaliças

Potencial agrícola do solo para o cultivo da melancia.

A melancia (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.)Matsum & nakai), pertence à família das cucurbitáceas, sendo originária do continente africano. É uma planta anual, de crescimento rasteiro, com várias ramificações que alcançam até 5 m de comprime nto. É cultivada em vários países do mundo, com uma produção total de, aproximadamente, 47 milhões de toneladas de frutos (Doorenbos & Kassam, 1994). No Brasil segundo dados Agrianual (2004), a área plantada em 2000 superou 80.000 ha, com produção total de 2.267.880 toneladas de frutos e rendimento da ordem de 28 t/ha, sendo o Nordeste responsável por 35,17% dessa produção destacando-se os Estados da Bahia (427.720 t),. Pernambuco (122.360 t) e Maranhão (94.020 t). A cultura da melancia tem grande importância socio-econômica no Nordeste brasileiro, por ser cultivada principalmente por pequenos agricultores, sob condições irrigadas e de chuva, devido ao seu fácil manejo e menor custo de produção, quando comparada a outras hortaliças
