Bacia hidrográfica e sua relação com o ecossistema ripário.
Matas ciliares são formações florestais situadas às margens dos cursos de água e são componentes da estrutura de bacias hidrográficas. Essas comunidades florestais esempenham inúmeras funções na dinâmica de uma bacia hidrográfica e são condições básicas para a manutenção da integridade dos processos hidrológicos e ecológicos nessas unidades da paisagem. São protegidas legalmente e estudos de sua dinâmica são importantes para formar a base na gestão e planejamento dos recursos hídricos em bacias hidrográficas. Bacias Hidrográficas são exemplos de sistemas complexos, em virtude da variedade de elementos componentes e dos fluxos de interação entre estes. Em função dessa complexidade, essa região geográfica, bem delimitada, pode ser estudada aplicando-se os conceitos de ecossistema e geossistema, como estão sendo utilizados no projeto de recuperação de mata ciliar degradada do Rio São Francisco
Dynamical Evolution of a Cylindrical Shell with Rotational Pressure
We prepare a general framework for analyzing the dynamics of a cylindrical
shell in the spacetime with cylindrical symmetry. Based on the framework, we
investigate a particular model of a cylindrical shell-collapse with rotational
pressure, accompanying the radiation of gravitational waves and massless
particles. The model has been introduced previously but has been awaiting for
proper analysis. Here the analysis is put forward: It is proved that, as far as
the weak energy condition is satisfied outside the shell, the collapsing shell
bounces back at some point irrespective of the initial conditions, and escapes
from the singularity formation.
The behavior after the bounce depends on the sign of the shell pressure in
the z-direction. When the pressure is non-negative, the shell continues to
expand without re-contraction. On the other hand, when the pressure is negative
(i.e. it has a tension), the behavior after the bounce can be more complicated
depending on the details of the model. However, even in this case, the shell
never reaches the zero-radius configuration.Comment: To appear in Phys. Rev.
Bringing Together Gravity and the Quanta
Due to its underlying gauge structure, teleparallel gravity achieves a
separation between inertial and gravitational effects. It can, in consequence,
describe the isolated gravitational interaction without resorting to the
equivalence principle, and is able to provide a tensorial definition for the
energy-momentum density of the gravitational field. Considering the conceptual
conflict between the local equivalence principle and the nonlocal uncertainty
principle, the replacement of general relativity by its teleparallel equivalent
can be considered an important step towards a prospective reconciliation
between gravitation and quantum mechanics.Comment: 9 pages. Contribution to the proceedings of the Albert Einstein

Selective influences of maximum dynamic strength and bar-power output on team sports performance: a comprehensive study of four different disciplines
This study examined the selective influences of one-repetition maximum (1RM) values [assessed in the half-squat (HS)] and bar-power production [assessed in both HS and jump squat (JS) exercises] on the physical performance of male and female team sport athletes from four different sports. Three-hundred and three elite players (31 Olympians) from four different disciplines (47 male soccer players, 58 female soccer players, 28 male handball players, 58 female handball players, 49 male rugby players, and 63 male futsal players) participated in this study. The physical tests were performed over 2 consecutive days for soccer and rugby players, and in 1 day for the remaining athletes. On the first day, rugby and soccer athletes performed squat jumps (SJ), countermovement jumps (CMJ), and HS 1RM. On the second day, they executed HS and JS tests (to assess the maximum bar-power output) and the linear and change-of-direction (COD) speed tests. For the other players, the sequence of the measurements was the same; however, they did not perform the HS exercise. Athletes were separated, using a median split analysis, into two distinct groups, according to their bar-power output in both JS and HS exercises and their performance in HS 1RM. The magnitude-based inferences method was used to examine the differences between “higher” and “lower” performance groups. Overall, the bar-power outputs were better connected to improved acceleration, speed, and jump performance than the 1RM measures. From these findings, it is possible to infer that players able to produce higher bar-power outputs are likely to sprint faster and jump higher. Therefore, coaches involved in team sports are strongly encouraged to use the bar-power method to evaluate the athletic performance of their players
