On the random neighbor Olami-Feder-Christensen slip-stick model
We reconsider the treatment of Lise and Jensen (Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 2326
(1996)) on the random neighbor Olami-Feder-Christensen stik-slip model, and
examine the strong dependence of the results on the approximations used for the
distribution of states p(E).Comment: 6pages, 3 figures. To be published in PRE as a brief repor

On the robustness of scale invariance in SOC models
A random neighbor extremal stick-slip model is introduced. In the
thermodynamic limit, the distribution of states has a simple analytical form
and the mean avalanche size, as a function of the coupling parameter, is
exactly calculable. The system is critical only at a special point Jc in the
coupling parameter space. However, the critical region around this point, where
approximate scale invariance holds, is very large, suggesting a mechanism for
explaining the ubiquity of scale invariance in Nature.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures; submitted to Physical Review E;

Estratégia de sobrevivência de panicum maximum tanzânia sob pastejo rotacionado.
Foi avaliada a dinâmica de perfilhamento do capim-tanzânia ao longo de um ano, visando caracterizar sua estratĂ©gia de sobrevivĂŞncia em 5 touceiras. As maiores taxas de natalidade ocorreram em janeiro (76,6 p.100) e março (51,3 p.100) e as menores em junho (19,7 p.100) e agosto (13,2 p.100). As maiores taxas de mortalidade ocorreram em janeiro (72,5 p.100) e março (55,2 p.100) e as menores em abril (28,8 p.100) a outubro (24,4 p.100). Houve florescimento quando o fotoperĂodo foi inferior a 11,5 horas (abril-agosto), onde as taxas de natalidade foram menores devido Ă dominância apical. Entre janeiro e abril houve intensa renovação de perfilhos. Grande proporção de perfilhos da geração que surgiu em março sobreviveu durante o perĂodo seco. Portanto, nesta geração, devem ser aplicadas tĂ©cnicas de manejo visando Ă perenidade do pasto
Superscars in the LiNC=LiCN isomerization reaction
We demonstrate the existence of superscarring in the LiNC=LiCN isomerization
reaction described by a realistic potential interaction in the range of readily
attainable experimental energies. This phenomenon arises as the effect of two
periodic orbits appearing "out of the blue"in a saddle--node bifurcation taking
place in the dynamics of the system. Potential practical consequences of this
superlocalization in the corresponding wave functions are also considered.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. to appear in EP
Orbital Magnetism in Ensembles of Parabolic Potentials
We study the magnetic susceptibility of an ensemble of non-interacting
electrons confined by parabolic potentials and subjected to a perpendicular
magnetic field at finite temperatures. We show that the behavior of the average
susceptibility is qualitatively different from that of billiards. When averaged
over the Fermi energy the susceptibility exhibits a large paramagnetic response
only at certain special field values, corresponding to comensurate classical
frequencies, being negligible elsewhere. We derive approximate analytical
formulae for the susceptibility and compare the results with numerical
calculations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, REVTE
Heat kernel of integrable billiards in a magnetic field
We present analytical methods to calculate the magnetic response of
non-interacting electrons constrained to a domain with boundaries and submitted
to a uniform magnetic field. Two different methods of calculation are
considered - one involving the large energy asymptotic expansion of the
resolvent (Stewartson-Waechter method) is applicable to the case of separable
systems, and another based on the small time asymptotic behaviour of the heat
kernel (Balian-Bloch method). Both methods are in agreement with each other but
differ from the result obtained previously by Robnik. Finally, the Balian-Bloch
multiple scattering expansion is studied and the extension of our results to
other geometries is discussed.Comment: 13 pages, Revte
