Thin-Film Metamaterials called Sculptured Thin Films
Morphology and performance are conjointed attributes of metamaterials, of
which sculptured thin films (STFs) are examples. STFs are assemblies of
nanowires that can be fabricated from many different materials, typically via
physical vapor deposition onto rotating substrates. The curvilinear--nanowire
morphology of STFs is determined by the substrate motions during fabrication.
The optical properties, especially, can be tailored by varying the morphology
of STFs. In many cases prototype devices have been fabricated for various
optical, thermal, chemical, and biological applications.Comment: to be published in Proc. ICTP School on Metamaterials (Augsut 2009,

DOE-NSF-NIH Workshop on Opportunities in THz Science, February 12-14, 2004
This is the report of the Workshop on Opportunities in THz Science, held on February 12-14, 2004 in Arlington, VA. This workshop brought together researchers who use or produce THz radiation for physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and materials science to discuss new research opportunities and common resource needs. The charge from the sponsors of the workshop was to focus on basic science questions within these disciplines that have and can be answered using THz radiation

Aplicação em pré-colheita, de dessecante em duas cultivares de soja (Glycine max (L.) Merril) I - Efeitos imediatos sobre a germinação e produção de sementes
Plantas de soja das cultivares Santa Rosa e IAC-2 foram tratadas, em diferentes épocas após o início do florescimento, com o desse cante paraquat na dose de 2 l/ha do produto comercial. Objetivou-se avaliar os possíveis efeitos sobre a infecção de sementes por microorganismos prejudiciais a sua qualidade. As aplicações do produto foram feitas semanalmente a partir dos 72 e 75 dias após o início do fl orescimento, para as cultivares IAC -2 e Santa Rosa. respectivamente (teores de umidade das sementes de 56,8 e 57,5%). Para todas as épocas tratadas, existiam as suas respectivas comparações que não receberam o produto. As testemunhas foram colhidas seguindo-se os critérios usuais dos agricultores que trabalham com soja, aos 100 e 103 dias após o inicio do florescimento, respectivamente para as cultivares IAC-2 e Santa Rosa. A incidência de fungos prejudiciais à qualidade das sementes foi sempre menor para as parcelas que receberam dessecamento e aumentou com o retardamento da colheita, principalmente nas parcelas não tratadas.<br>The plant desiccant paraquat was applied on soybean plants at different stages of development 1972 and 75 days after flowering, weekly) and the harvested seeds examined as to fungus incidence. The data showed that the incidence of seed deteriorating fungi was always lower in the treated plots and increased when the harvest was delayed, mainly in the untreated plots
