Absorption and percolation in the production of J/psi in heavy ion collisions

We present a simple model with string absorption and percolation to describe the J/psi suppression in heavy ion collisions. The NA50 data are fairly well explained by the model.Comment: 6 pages, 3 postscript figures include

Produção e composição química de aveia não irrigada em quatro épocas de corte.

A aveia preta e os cultivadores UPF2, UPF3 e UPF7 de aveia amarela foram avaliados durante o período de inverno, sem irrigação em Jaboticabal-SP. As plantas foram colhidas aos 51, 64, 77 e 90 dias após a semeadura. A produção de MS variou de 931,6 a 2378,3 kg/ha para aveia preta, de 903,4 a 3135,2 kg/ha para a cv. UPF2 de 439,7 a 3920,9 kg/ha para a cv. UPF3 e de 1003,7 a 4351.1 kg/ha para a cv. UPF7. Dos 51 aos 90 dias após a semeadura os teores de PB na folha decresceram, de 18,0% para 10,2%, e os de FDN aumentaram de 41,6% para 47,9%.Resumo expandid

Realizing the supersymmetric inverse seesaw model in the framework of R-parity violation

If, on one hand, the inverse seesaw is the paradigm of TeV scale seesaw mechanism, on the other it is a challenge to find scenarios capable of realizing it. In this work we propose a scenario, based on the framework of R-parity violation, that realizes minimally the supersymmetric inverse seesaw mechanism. In it the energy scale parameters involved in the mechanism are recognized as the vacuum expectation values of the scalars that compose the singlet superfields $\hat N^C$ and $\hat S$. We develop also the scalar sector of the model and show that the Higgs mass receives a new tree-level contribution that, when combined with the standard contribution plus loop correction, is capable of attaining $125$GeV without resort to heavy stops.Comment: Minor modification of the text.

Evaluation of Oat Genotypes for Forage and Seed Production in the Northeast Region of Sao Paulo State-Brazil

The DM production (DMP), chemical composition, and seed production of black oats (Avena strigosa Schreb.) and the yellow oat cultivars ‘UPF2’ , ‘UPF3’ and ‘UPF7’ (A. byzantina C. Kock.) were evaluated under two management systems: plants cut (60 days after sowing-DAS) and uncut for seed production. Oat genotypes were sown in 1993 and 1994. UPF7 was the least productive. No difference was detected (P \u3e 0.05) in the cell wall composition of the genotypes. High values of CP (22.9%) and IVDMD (77.6%) were determined across all genotypes. In 1994, cutting at 60 DAS affected the seed production of the cultivars. All oat genotypes presented satisfactory forage and grain production in both management systems. Seed production can be reduced in all genotypes evaluated due to variations in climatic conditions and leaf rust disease

q-Deformed Kink Solutions

The q-deformed kink of the $\lambda\phi^4-$model is obtained via the normalisable ground state eigenfunction of a fluctuation operator associated with the q-deformed hyperbolic functions. From such a bosonic zero-mode the q-deformed potential in 1+1 dimensions is found, and we show that the q-deformed kink solution is a kink displaced away from the origin.Comment: REvtex, 11 pages, 2 figures.
