Quasi-homologous spherically symmetric branes and their symmetry breaking
We revisit the dynamical system based approach of spherically symmetric
vacuum braneworlds, pointing out and studying the existence of a transcritical
bifurcation as the dark pressure parameter changes its sign, we analyze some
consequences of not discard the brane cosmological constant. For instance, it
is noteworthy that the existence of an isothermal state equation between the
dark fluid parameters cannot be obtained via the requirement of a
quasi-homologous symmetry of the vacuum.Comment: 20 pages, 12 figures. To appear in EPJ
The gluon propagator from large asymmetric lattices
The Landau-gauge gluon propagator is computed for the SU(3) gauge theory on
lattices up to a size of . We use the standard Wilson action
at and compare our results with previous computations using large
asymmetric and symmetric lattices. In particular, we focus on the impact of the
lattice geometry and momentum cuts to achieve compatibility between data from
symmetric and asymmetric lattices for a large range of momenta.Comment: Poster presented at Lattice2007, Regensburg, July 30 - August 4, 200
Solution for a local straight cosmic string in the braneworld gravity
In this work we deal with the spacetime shaped by a straight cosmic string,
emerging from local gauge theories, in the braneworld gravity context. We
search for physical consequences of string features due to the modified
gravitational scenario encoded in the projected gravitational equations. It is
shown that cosmic strings in braneworld gravity may present significant
differences when compared to the general relativity predictions since its
linear density is modified and the deficit angle produced by the cosmic string
is attenuated. Furthermore, the existence of cosmic strings in that scenario
requires a strong restriction to the braneworld tension: , in Planck units.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
Static Domain Wall in the Braneworld gravity
In this paper we consider a static domain wall inside a 3-brane. Differently
of the standard achievement obtained in General Relativity, the analysis
performed here gives a consistency condition for the existence of static domain
walls in a braneworld gravitational scenario. It is also shown the behavior of
the domain wall gravitational field in the newtonian limit.Comment: 11 pages, no figures, accepted for publication in EPJ
Patterns of antenal sensilla of Panstrongylus megistus from three Brazilian states
The objective of the present study was to analyze and describe the phenotype of the antennal sensilla of Panstrongylus megistus, one of the epidemiologically most important species of triatomines in Brazil. Specimens from the Brazilian states of Goiás (GO), Minas Gerais (MG), and Rio Grande do Sul (RS) were compared, based on studies of four types of sensilla on three antennal segments: thick-walled trichoid (TK), thin-walled trichoid (TH), bristles (BR), and basiconica (BA). Discriminant analysis allowed the separation of the RS specimens from those of GO and MG. Multivariate discriminant analysis demonstrated that the sensilla of males differed from those of females, the variables with greatest weight being the BA of all three segments and the TK of flagellum 1. The basiconica sensilla were significantly more abundant in females, on all three segments. Antennal sensilla patterns also demonstrated significant differences among P. megistus specimens.Fil: Villela, M. M.. Fundación Oswaldo Cruz; BrasilFil: Catala, Silvia Susana.
