Lattice Simulation of Nuclear Multifragmentation
Motivated by the decade-long debate over the issue of criticality supposedly
observed in nuclear multifragmentation, we propose a dynamical lattice model to
simulate the phenomenon. Its Ising Hamiltonian mimics a short range attractive
interaction which competes with a thermal-like dissipative process. The results
here presented, generated through an event-by-event analysis, are in agreement
with both experiment and those produced by a percolative (non-dynamical) model.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
Broad Histogram Monte Carlo
We propose a new Monte Carlo technique in which the degeneracy of energy
states is obtained with a Markovian process analogous to that of Metropolis
used currently in canonical simulations. The obtained histograms are much
broader than those of the canonical histogram technique studied by Ferrenberg
and Swendsen. Thus we can reliably reconstruct thermodynamic functions over a
much larger temperature scale also away from the critical point. We show for
the two-dimensional Ising model how our new method reproduces exact results
more accurately and using less computer time than the conventional histogram
method. We also show data in three dimensions for the Ising ferromagnet and the
Edwards Anderson spin glass.Comment: 6 pages of a TeX file with 4 PS figures. Related papers at

On Galois-Division Multiple Access Systems: Figures of Merit and Performance Evaluation
A new approach to multiple access based on finite field transforms is
investigated. These schemes, termed Galois-Division Multiple Access (GDMA),
offer compact bandwidth requirements. A new digital transform, the Finite Field
Hartley Transform (FFHT) requires to deal with fields of characteristic p, p
\neq 2. A binary-to-p-ary (p \neq 2) mapping based on the opportunistic
secondary channel is introduced. This allows the use of GDMA in conjunction
with available digital systems. The performance of GDMA is also evaluated.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. In: XIX Simposio Brasileiro de Telecomunicacoes,
