On the choice of parameters in solar structure inversion
The observed solar p-mode frequencies provide a powerful diagnostic of the
internal structure of the Sun and permit us to test in considerable detail the
physics used in the theory of stellar structure. Amongst the most commonly used
techniques for inverting such helioseismic data are two implementations of the
optimally localized averages (OLA) method, namely the Subtractive Optimally
Localized Averages (SOLA) and Multiplicative Optimally Localized Averages
(MOLA). Both are controlled by a number of parameters, the proper choice of
which is very important for a reliable inference of the solar internal
structure. Here we make a detailed analysis of the influence of each parameter
on the solution and indicate how to arrive at an optimal set of parameters for
a given data set.Comment: 14 pages, 15 figures. Accepted for publication on MNRA
On The Determination of MDI High-Degree Mode Frequencies
The characteristic of the solar acoustic spectrum is such that mode lifetimes
get shorter and spatial leaks get closer in frequency as the degree of a mode
increases for a given order. A direct consequence of this property is that
individual p-modes are only resolved at low and intermediate degrees, and that
at high degrees, individual modes blend into ridges. Once modes have blended
into ridges, the power distribution of the ridge defines the ridge central
frequency and it will mask the true underlying mode frequency. An accurate
model of the amplitude of the peaks that contribute to the ridge power
distribution is needed to recover the underlying mode frequency from fitting
the ridge.
We present the results of fitting high degree power ridges (up to l = 900)
computed from several two to three-month-long time-series of full-disk
observations taken with the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) on-board the Solar
and Heliospheric Observatory between 1996 and 1999.
We also present a detailed discussion of the modeling of the ridge power
distribution, and the contribution of the various observational and
instrumental effects on the spatial leakage, in the context of the MDI
instrument. We have constructed a physically motivated model (rather than some
ad hoc correction scheme) resulting in a methodology that can produce an
unbiased determination of high-degree modes, once the instrumental
characteristics are well understood.
Finally, we present changes in high degree mode parameters with epoch and
thus solar activity level and discuss their significance.Comment: 59 pages, 38 figures -- High-resolution version at

1D generalized statistics gas: A gauge theory approach
A field theory with generalized statistics in one space dimension is
introduced. The statistics enters the scene through the coupling of the matter
fields to a statistical gauge field, as it happens in the Chern-Simons theory
in two dimensions. We study the particle-hole excitations and show that the
long wave length physics of this model describes a gas obeying the Haldane
generalized exclusion statistics. The statistical interaction is found to
provide a way to describe the low-T critical properties of one-dimensional
non-Fermi liquids.Comment: 8 pages, revte
Growth and phosphorus absorption by common bean 'Xodó' genotype under effect of glyphosate reduced rates.
Avaliou-se o efeito de subdoses de glyphosate no crescimento e na absorção de fósforo (P) pelo feijoeiro comum (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cv. Xodó. O experimento foi conduzido em esquema fatorial 4 x 2 em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições, sendo o primeiro fator constituído pelas subdoses de 0; 4,32; 8,64 e 12,96 g ha-1 de equivalente ácido (e.a.) de glyphosate e o segundo fator constituído por doses de P no solo (50 e 250 mg dm-3). Avaliações foram realizadas 30 dias após a aplicação do glyphosate (DAA). A subdose de 12,96 g ha-1 estimulou o crescimento do feijoeiro comum cv. Xodó, assim como aumentou o teor de P no ramo e o conteúdo de P na parte aérea das plantas
The Several Guises of the BRST Symmetry
We present several forms in which the BRST transformations of QCD in
covariant gauges can be cast. They can be non-local and even not manifestly
covariant. These transformations may be obtained in the path integral formalism
by non standard integrations in the ghost sector or by performing changes of
ghost variables which leave the action and the path integral measure invariant.
For different changes of ghost variables in the BRST and anti-BRST
transformations these two transformations no longer anticommute.Comment: 3 pages, revte
