Meson decay in the Fock-Tani Formalism
The Fock-Tani formalism is a first principle method to obtain effective
interactions from microscopic Hamiltonians. Usually this formalism was applied
to scattering, here we introduced it to calculate partial decay widths for
mesons.Comment: Presented at HADRON05 XI. "International Conference on Hadron

Oxygen clamps in gold nanowires
We investigate how the insertion of an oxygen atom in an atomically thin gold
nanowire can affect its rupture. We find, using ab initio total energy density
functional theory calculations, that O atoms when inserted in gold nanowires
form not only stable but also very strong bonds, in such a way that they can
extract atoms from a stable tip, serving in this way as a clamp that could be
used to pull a string of gold atoms.Comment: 4 pages; 4 figure
Glueball-glueball scattering in a constituent gluon model
In this work we use a mapping technique to derive in the context of a
constituent gluon model an effective Hamiltonian that involves explicit gluon
degrees of freedom. We study glueballs with two gluons using the Fock-Tani
formalism. In the present work we consider two possibilities for : (i)
as a pure and calculate, in the context of a quark interchange
picture, the cross-section; (ii) as a glueball where a new calculation for this
cross-section is made, in the context of the constituent gluon model, with
gluon interchange.Comment: Proceedings of the International Workshop IX Hadron Physics and VII

Estaquia em espécies cÃtricas monoembriônicas autoincompatÃveis: uma alternativa para a caracterização citogenética de variedades do Banco Ativo de Germoplasma (BAG) de Citros.
O gênero Citrus L. (famÃlia Rutaceae) é formado tipicamente por espécies poliembriônicas, cujas sementes apresentam um embrião zigótico (hÃbrido) e um ou vários nucelares (apomÃticos). Entretanto, alguns representantes deste grupo são monoembriônicos e autoincompatÃveis, fato que leva à formação de seedlings exclusivamente de origem hÃbrida
Disorder and the effective Mn-Mn exchange interaction in GaMnAs diluted magnetic semiconductors
We perform a theoretical study, using {\it ab initio} total energy
density-functional calculations, of the effects of disorder on the
exchange interactions for diluted semiconductors. For a 128
atoms supercell, we consider a variety of configurations with 2, 3 and 4 Mn
atoms, which correspond to concentrations of 3.1%, 4.7%, and 6.3%,
respectively. In this way, the disorder is intrinsically considered in the
calculations. Using a Heisenberg Hamiltonian to map the magnetic excitations,
and {\it ab initio} total energy calculations, we obtain the effective \JMn,
from first () all the way up to sixth () neighbors. Calculated
results show a clear dependence in the magnitudes of the \JMn with the Mn
concentration . Also, configurational disorder and/or clustering effects
lead to large dispersions in the Mn-Mn exchange interactions, in the case of
fixed Mn concentration. Moreover, theoretical results for the ground-state
total energies for several configurations indicate the importance of a proper
consideration of disorder in treating temperature and annealing effects
