Unintegrated parton distributions in nuclei

We study how unintegrated parton distributions in nuclei can be calculated from the corresponding integrated partons using the EPS09 parametrization. The role of nuclear effects is presented in terms of the ratio $R^A=\text{uPDF}^A/A\cdot \text{PDF}^N$ for both large and small $x$ domains.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure

Chaotic Interaction of Langmuir Solitons and Long Wavelength Radiation

In this work we analyze the interaction of isolated solitary structures and ion-acoustic radiation. If the radiation amplitude is small solitary structures persists, but when the amplitude grows energy transfer towards small spatial scales occurs. We show that transfer is particularly fast when a fixed point of a low dimensional model is destroyed.Comment: LaTex + 4 eps file

Simulação computacional da flutuação populacional do bicho-mineiro do cafeeiro em condições de campo para o Município de São Sebastião do Paraíso-MG.

Foram realizadas simulações da flutuação populacional de lagartas do bicho-mineiro do cafeeiro, Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville, 1842) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae), utilizando-se dados de temperatura e precipitação pluvial relativos ao município de São Sebastião do Paraíso-MG no período de 1989 a 1993. Os resultados da simulação foram comparados com aqueles obtidos em pesquisa de campo realizado por Reis e Souza (1996), sendo verificado que para a maioria dos anos o modelo foi capaz de reproduzir os picos populacionais do inseto-praga

The interplay of university and industry through the FP5 network

To improve the quality of life in a modern society it is essential to reduce the distance between basic research and applications, whose crucial roles in shaping today's society prompt us to seek their understanding. Existing studies on this subject, however, have neglected the network character of the interaction between university and industry. Here we use state-of-the-art network theory methods to analyze this interplay in the so-called Framework Programme--an initiative which sets out the priorities for the European Union's research and technological development. In particular we study in the 5th Framework Programme (FP5) the role played by companies and scientific institutions and how they contribute to enhance the relationship between research and industry. Our approach provides quantitative evidence that while firms are size hierarchically organized, universities and research organizations keep the network from falling into pieces, paving the way for an effective knowledge transfer.Comment: 21 pages (including Appendix), 8 figures.

Roundoff-induced Coalescence of Chaotic Trajectories

Numerical experiments recently discussed in the literature show that identical nonlinear chaotic systems linked by a common noise term (or signal) may synchronize after a finite time. We study the process of synchronization as function of precision of calculations. Two generic behaviors of the average coalescence time are identified: exponential or linear. In both cases no synchronization occurs if iterations are done with {\em infinite} precision.Comment: 6 pages, 3 postscript figures, to be published in Phys. Rev.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar o efeito do emprego da tecnologia Cargofresh de AC associada ao emprego de SO2 e ao envolvimento do pallet com filme plástico, sobre a vida útil de armazenamento da uva 'Superior Seedless' produzida no Vale do São Francisco

Computer simulation of the coffee leaf miner using sexual Penna aging model.

Forecast models based on climatic conditions are of great interest in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. The success of these models depends, among other factors, on the knowledge of the temperature effect on the pests? population dynamics. In this direction, a computer simulation was made for the population dynamics of the coffee leaf miner, L. coffeella, at different temperatures, considering experimental data relative to the pest. The age structure was inserted into the dynamics through sexual Penna Model. The results obtained, such as life expectancy, growth rate and annual generations? number, in agreement to those in laboratory and field conditions, show that the simulation can be used as a forecast model for controlling L. coffeella
