Irreversible processes and the accelerated-decelerated phases of the Universe

A model for the Universe is proposed where it is considered as a mixture of scalar and matter fields. The particle production is due to an irreversible transfer of energy from the gravitational field to the matter field and represented by a non-equilibrium pressure. This model can simulate three distinct periods of the Universe: (a) an accelerated epoch where the energy density of the scalar field prevails over the matter field, (b) a past decelerated period where the energy density of the matter field becomes more predominant than the scalar energy density, and (c) a present acceleration phase where the scalar energy density overcomes the energy density of the matter field.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, to be published in Brazilian Journal of Physic

Meson decay in a corrected 30P3^P_0 model

Extensively applied to both light and heavy meson decay and standing as one of the most successful strong decay models is the $3^P_0$ model, in which $q\bar{q}$ pair production is the dominant mechanism. The pair production can be obtained from the non-relativistic limit of a microscopic interaction Hamiltonian involving Dirac quark fields. The evaluation of the decay amplitude can be performed by a diagrammatic technique for drawing quark lines. In this paper we use an alternative approach which consists in a mapping technique, the Fock-Tani formalism, in order to obtain an effective Hamiltonian starting from same microscopic interaction. An additional effect is manifest in this formalism associated to the extended nature of mesons: bound-state corrections. A corrected $3^P_0$ is obtained and applied, as an example, to $b_{1}\to\omega\pi$ and $a_{1}\to\rho\pi$ decays.Comment: 3 figures. To appear in Physical Review

Meiotic behavior of the Brazilian table grape cultivar Rubi (Vitis vinifera) with a high proportion of seedless berries

Meiotic behavior, pollen fertility and germination of the Brazilian table grape cv, Rubi (Vitis vinifera) were investigated; this cultivar produced different numbers of seedless berries when cultivated at two different sites: At site A vines produced a high proportion of seedless berries while at site B vines produced berries with a normal number of seeds. Cytological analysis of inflorescences collected from the two sites showed some meiotic abnormalities, the most common being related to chromosomal segregation and telophase micronuclei formation leading to microcyte formation in the tetrads, Cytoplasmic channels, bridges and tripolar spindles were also observed in some microsporocytes, Pollen fertility was high at both sites, approximately 96 % at site A and 98 % at site B, The rate of pollen germination was lower at site A than at site B, suggesting that the absence of seed formation is related to pollen germination rate.
