Hamming distance and mobility behavior in generalized rock-paper-scissors models
This work reports on two related investigations of stochastic simulations
which are widely used to study biodiversity and other related issues. We first
deal with the behavior of the Hamming distance under the increase of the number
of species and the size of the lattice, and then investigate how the mobility
of the species contributes to jeopardize biodiversity. The investigations are
based on the standard rules of reproduction, mobility and predation or
competition, which are described by specific rules, guided by generalization of
the rock-paper-scissors game, valid in the case of three species. The results
on the Hamming distance indicate that it engenders universal behavior,
independently of the number of species and the size of the square lattice. The
results on the mobility confirm the prediction that it may destroy diversity,
if it is increased to higher and higher values.Comment: 7 pages, 9 figures. To appear in EP
A germinaĆ§Ć£o de alface romana Ć© afetada por diferentes extratos de vermicomposto.
Diante da necessidade iminente de novos processos e tecnologias relacionadas a sementes para a agricultura organica, alternativas efecazes precisam ser estudadas. No presente trabalho avaliou-se os efeitos de dois diferentes extratos de vermicomposto e um tipo de lixiviado de vermicomposto sobre a germinaĆ§Ć£o e crescimento inicial de alface romana
