The nuclear pseudospin symmetry along an isotopic chain
We investigate the isospin dependence of pseudospin symmetry in the chain of
tin isotopes (from Sn until Sn). Using a Woods-Saxon
parametrization of the nuclear potential for these isotopes we study in detail
the effect of the vector-isovector and Coulomb potentials in the energy
splittings of neutron and proton pseudospin partners in the isotopic chain. We
conclude that the realization of nuclear pseudospin symmetry does not change
considerably with the mass number, and is always favored for neutrons. We also
find that the potential accounts for essentially all the pseudospin
isospin asymmetry observed and that the Coulomb potential plays a negligible
role in this asymmetry. This can be explained by the dynamical nature of
pseudospin symmetry in nuclei, namely the dependence of the pseudospin
splittings on the shape of the nuclear mean-field potential.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to be published in Brazilian Journal of Physic
Tensor coupling and pseudospin symmetry in nuclei
In this work we study the contribution of the isoscalar tensor coupling to
the realization of pseudospin symmetry in nuclei. Using realistic values for
the tensor coupling strength, we show that this coupling reduces noticeably the
pseudospin splittings, especially for single-particle levels near the Fermi
surface. By using an energy decomposition of the pseudospin energy splittings,
we show that the changes in these splittings come by mainly through the changes
induced in the lower radial wave function for the low-lying pseudospin
partners, and by changes in the expectation value of the pseudospin-orbit
coupling term for surface partners. This allows us to confirm the conclusion
already reached in previous studies, namely that the pseudospin symmetry in
nuclei is of a dynamical nature.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, uses REVTeX macro
Dynamical nature of the nuclear pseudospin and its isospin asymmetry
Pseudospin symmetry in nuclei is investigated by solving the Dirac equation
with Woods-Saxon scalar and vector radial potentials. We relate the pseudospin
interaction with a pseudospin-orbit term in a Schroedinger-like equation for
the lower component of the Dirac spinor. We show that this term gives a large
contribution to the energy splittings of pseudospin partners, so that the near
pseudospin degeneracy arises from a significant cancellation among the
different terms in that equation. This is a manifestation of the dynamical
character of this symmetry in the nucleus. We analyze the isospin dependence of
the pseudospin symmetry in a nuclear isotope chain by including a
vector-isovector potential V_rho and a Coulomb potential and conclude that
V_rho gives the main contribution to the observed pseudospin isospin asymmetry.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, uses World Scientific style file. Contribution

Spin and pseudospin symmetries in the antinucleon spectrum of nuclei
Spin and pseudospin symmetries in the spectra of nucleons and antinucleons
are studied in a relativistic mean-field theory with scalar and vector
Woods-Saxon potentials, in which the strength of the latter is allowed to
change. We observe that, for nucleons and antinucleons, the spin symmetry is of
perturbative nature and it is almost an exact symmetry in the physical region
for antinucleons. The opposite situation is found in the pseudospin symmetry
case, which is better realized for nucleons than for antinucleons, but is of
dynamical nature and cannot be viewed in a perturbative way both for nucleons
and antinucleons. This is shown by computing the spin-orbit and
pseudospin-orbit couplings for selected spin and pseudospin partners in both
spectra.Comment: 8 figures, uses revtex 4.1 macro
Resposta a NPK por seringueiras em viveiros nas condicoes do estado de Rondonia.
Procurou-se verificar as resposta a adubacao e definir niveis mais adequados nitrogenio, fosforo e potassio para viveiros de seringueira em Rondonia. Os experimentos foram instalados em alguns solos representativos nos municipios de Porto Velho e Ariquemes: Latossolo Amarelo textura pesada; Ouro Preto D'Oeste: Podzolicos. Os delineamentos foram do tipo fatorial incompleto em blocos ao acaso, com tres repeticoes. Utilizou-se: ureia com 45% de N, superfosfato triplo com 46% de P2O5 e cloreto de potassio com 60% de K2O.Mediu-se o diametro do caule a 5cm do solo consideradosos diametros de 1,2cm para plantas de 7 meses e de 2cm para plantas de 12 meses de idade no calculo da porcentagem de plantas aptas a enxertia. Resultados demonstram que nao ha resposta significativa a adubacao de ate 90kg de N, 250kg P2O5 e 120kg K2O/ha. O manejo adequado da materia organica, calagem e adubacao de testituicao, deverao ser praticas observadas para a garantia da producao de viveiros de seringueira. Sugere-se que enquanto nao se tem determinacao segura de teores exportados palas plantas em diversos locais do Estado, a aplicacao de 1,0g de P2O5 e K2O por planta deve ser suficiente para a produçãobitstream/item/23946/1/11-jul88.pd
Relevance of pseudospin symmetry in proton-nucleus scattering
The manifestation of pseudospin-symmetry in proton-nucleus scattering is
discussed. Constraints on the pseudospin-symmetry violating scattering
amplitude are given which require as input cross section and polarization data,
but no measurements of the spin rotation function. Application of these
constraints to p-58Ni and p-208Pb scattering data in the laboratory energy
range of 200 MeV to 800 MeV, reveals a significant violation of the symmetry at
lower energies and a weak one at higher energies. Using a schematic model
within the Dirac phenomenology, the role of the Coulomb potential in
proton-nucleus scattering with regard to pseudospin symmetry is studied. Our
results indicate that the existence of pseudospin-symmetry in proton-nucleus
scattering is questionable in the whole energy region considered and that the
violation of this symmetry stems from the long range nature of the Coulomb
interaction.Comment: 22 pages including 9 figures, correction of 1 reference, revision of

Entrepreneurial Orientation and Dynamic Capabilities
Currently, small and medium enterprises that are family businesses (SMEFs) assume an important role
in the global economy. Further, innovation and flexibility became vital to firmsâ survival and prosperity in the market during these volatile times. Firms should not only possess critical resources, but also be able to recombine them. Characterized by resource restrictions, SMEFs can rely on dynamic capabilities to access resources and be competitive in the market. In this regard, networking capabilities (NC) and resource combinations (RC) such as exploitative and explorative product development and on market-related capabilities emerge as key dynamic capabilities. This chapter examines the role of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) on NC and RC. Using a qualitative method of in-depth case study, the chapter analyzes 12 Portuguese SMEFs.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Relating pseudospin and spin symmetries through charge conjugation and chiral transformations: the case of the relativistic harmonic oscillator
We solve the generalized relativistic harmonic oscillator in 1+1 dimensions,
i.e., including a linear pseudoscalar potential and quadratic scalar and vector
potentials which have equal or opposite signs. We consider positive and
negative quadratic potentials and discuss in detail their bound-state solutions
for fermions and antifermions. The main features of these bound states are the
same as the ones of the generalized three-dimensional relativistic harmonic
oscillator bound states. The solutions found for zero pseudoscalar potential
are related to the spin and pseudospin symmetry of the Dirac equation in 3+1
dimensions. We show how the charge conjugation and chiral
transformations relate the several spectra obtained and find that for massless
particles the spin and pseudospin symmetry related problems have the same
spectrum, but different spinor solutions. Finally, we establish a relation of
the solutions found with single-particle states of nuclei described by
relativistic mean-field theories with scalar, vector and isoscalar tensor
interactions and discuss the conditions in which one may have both nucleon and
antinucleon bound states.Comment: 33 pages, 10 figures, uses revtex macro
