Conjunctive queries with negation over DL-Lite: a closer look
While conjunctive query (CQ) answering over DL-Lite has been studied extensively, there have been few attempts to analyse CQs with negated atoms. This paper deepens the study of the problem. Answering CQs with safe negation and CQs with a single inequality over DL-Lite with role inclusions is shown to be undecidable, even for a fixed TBox and query.Without role inclusions, answering CQs with one inequality is P-hard and with two inequalities CoNP-hard in data complexity
Rastrojo de maíz: producción teórica de etanol lignocelulósico en relación a la fecha de siembra
El efecto de la fecha de siembra sobre el rendimiento y la calidad bioenergética del rastrojo de maíz (Zea mays L.) es poco conocido. Este recurso está siendo reconsiderado debido a que no compite con los alimentos y tiene un bajo costo. El objetivo fue determinar el efecto de la fecha de siembra en la producción teórica de etanol del rastrojo en híbridos comerciales de maíz. Cuatro híbridos fueron evaluados en dos fechas de siembra en un diseño de bloques completos aleatorizados con arreglo factorial y tres repeticiones. Se analizaron variables de rendimiento y calidad bioenergética. Además, se determinaron mediante regresión lineal los perfiles verticales de distribución del rendimiento (tn/ha) y del rendimiento en etanol teórico potencial (L/ha), dividiendo al rastrojo en estratos de 20 cm desde la base al ápice. La fecha de siembra tardía fue superior a la temprana. Produjo un mayor rendimiento de rastrojo (11,32 vs. 9,37 tn/ha) y en etanol teórico potencial (3,78 vs. 2,47 mil L/ha). Hubo un aporte decreciente de cada estrato desde la base hasta el ápice de la planta. No obstante, la fecha de siembra tardía produjo mayor acumulación de biomasa por estrato, aportando mayor remanente al suelo ante una misma altura de corte.Trabajo presentado por el Instituto de Investigación Agropecuaria, Ambiente y Salud (IIPAAS

High-pressure optical absorption in InN: Electron density dependence in the wurtzite phase and reevaluation of the indirect band gap of rocksalt InN
We report on high-pressure optical absorption measurements on InN epilayers with a range of free-electron concentrations (5×1017–1.6×1019 cm−3) to investigate the effect of free carriers on the pressure coefficient of the optical band gap of wurtzite InN. With increasing carrier concentration, we observe a decrease of the absolute value of the optical band gap pressure coefficient of wurtzite InN. An analysis of our data based on the k·p model allows us to obtain a pressure coefficient of 32 meV/GPa for the fundamental band gap of intrinsic wurtzite InN. Optical absorption measurements on a 5.7-μm-thick InN epilayer at pressures above the wurtzite-to-rocksalt transition have allowed us to obtain an accurate determination of the indirect band gap energy of rocksalt InN as a function of pressure. Around the phase transition (∼15 GPa), a band gap value of 0.7 eV and a pressure coefficient of ∼23 meV/GPa are obtained. ©2012 American Physical SocietyThis work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through Project No. MAT2010-16116.Ibáñez, J.; Segura, A.; García-Domene, B.; Oliva, R.; Manjón Herrera, FJ.; Yamaguchi, T.; Nanishi, Y....

Multifield Dynamics in Higgs-otic Inflation
In Higgs-otic inflation a complex neutral scalar combination of the and
MSSM Higgs fields plays the role of inflaton in a chaotic fashion. The
potential is protected from large trans-Planckian corrections at large inflaton
if the system is embedded in string theory so that the Higgs fields parametrize
a D-brane position. The inflaton potential is then given by a DBI+CS D-brane
action yielding an approximate linear behaviour at large field. The inflaton
scalar potential is a 2-field model with specific non-canonical kinetic terms.
Previous computations of the cosmological parameters (i.e. scalar and tensor
perturbations) did not take into account the full 2-field character of the
model, ignoring in particular the presence of isocurvature perturbations and
their coupling to the adiabatic modes. It is well known that for generic
2-field potentials such effects may significantly alter the observational
signatures of a given model. We perform a full analysis of adiabatic and
isocurvature perturbations in the Higgs-otic 2-field model. We show that the
predictivity of the model is increased compared to the adiabatic approximation.
Isocurvature perturbations moderately feed back into adiabatic fluctuations.
However, the isocurvature component is exponentially damped by the end of
inflation. The tensor to scalar ratio varies in a region ,
consistent with combined Planck/BICEP results.Comment: 35 pages, 11 figure
Overlapping of acoustic bandgaps using fractal geometries
The transmission of acoustic waves in a fractal distribution of rigid scatterers embedded in air is reported in this work. The Sierpinsky fractal is used to produce a compact small device containing several periodicities, therefore the fractal distribution contains several finite sonic crystals. The attenuation band produced by the fractal distribution results from the sum of the Bragg peaks of each periodicity. On the other hand, bandgaps of sonic crystal depend on the well-known filling fraction, thus the radii of the scatterers in the fractal distribution has been optimized using genetic algorithm in order to overlap the bandgaps of each periodicity obtaining a wide and full attenuation band.This work was supported by MCI (Spanish Government) and FEDER funds, under Grant Nos.

Phenomenological constraints on SUSY SU(5) GUTs with non-universal gaugino masses
We study phenomenological aspects of supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified
theories with non-universal gaugino masses. For large tan beta, we investigate
constraints from the requirement of successful electroweak symmetry breaking,
the positivity of stau mass squared and the b to s gamma decay rate. In the
allowed region, the nature of the lightest supersymmetric particle is
determined. Examples of mass spectra are given. We also calculate loop
corrections to the bottom mass due to superpartners.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures (8 eps files), uses REVTeX. Replaced to match the
