Running Gluon Mass from Landau Gauge Lattice QCD Propagator

The interpretation of the Landau gauge lattice gluon propagator as a massive type bosonic propagator is investigated. Three different scenarios are discussed: i) an infrared constant gluon mass; ii) an ultraviolet constant gluon mass; iii) a momentum dependent mass. We find that the infrared data can be associated with a massive propagator up to momenta $\sim 500$ MeV, with a constant gluon mass of 723(11) MeV, if one excludes the zero momentum gluon propagator from the analysis, or 648(7) MeV, if the zero momentum gluon propagator is included in the data sets. The ultraviolet lattice data is not compatible with a massive type propagator with a constant mass. The scenario of a momentum dependent gluon mass gives a decreasing mass with the momentum, which vanishes in the deep ultraviolet region. Furthermore, we show that the functional forms used to describe the decoupling like solution of the Dyson-Schwinger equations are compatible with the lattice data with similar mass scales.Comment: Version to appear in J. Phys. G. New version include some rewriting and new analysis. In particular, the section on the running mass is ne

Status epilepticus in the childhood. A Review of seven years

Rev Neurol. 2000 Mar 1-15;30(5):414-8. [Status epilepticus in the childhood. A review of seven years] [Article in Spanish] Oliveira D, Oliveira MJ, Alves V, Temudo T. Hospital Geral de Santo António, Porto, Portugal. Abstract INTRODUCTION: Status epilepticus is a neurological emergency that requires early and prompt treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective study includes 32 children treated for status epilepticus at Hospital Geral de Santo António, from January 1992 to December 1998. We evaluated the clinical features, duration, aetiology and prognostic. RESULTS: Symptomatic or criptogenetic aetiology was present in 53% of children and idiopathic in 47%. 27% of episodes of status epilepticus were induced by fever. The most common neurological sequel was epilepsy (onset of new epilepsy in 20%; aggravated in 25%). Two children (10%) had major neurological sequelae after status epilepticus. CONCLUSION: In our study the duration of status epilepticus and sequelae seems to be related with aetiology. PMID: 10775965 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE

Scaling Invariance in a Time-Dependent Elliptical Billiard

We study some dynamical properties of a classical time-dependent elliptical billiard. We consider periodically moving boundary and collisions between the particle and the boundary are assumed to be elastic. Our results confirm that although the static elliptical billiard is an integrable system, after to introduce time-dependent perturbation on the boundary the unlimited energy growth is observed. The behaviour of the average velocity is described using scaling arguments

Roteiro dos participantes do curso: Custo de produção de café e leite.

Esta publicação é resultado de um trabalho de elaboração de curso de capacitação para agentes dinamizadores do desenvolvimento do território Vale do Jamari. A Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Territorial (SDT) estabeleceu dentre as diretrizes para a implantação do Programa de Desenvolvimento Territorial, promover a aquisição de capacidades, o desenvolvimento de capital social e a participação das populações territoriais, de modo a apoiar o processo de construção e implementação de planos territoriais de desenvolvimento. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do curso de Custo de produção de Café e Leite foi capacitar os agentes dinamizadores do desenvolvimento do território Vale do Jamari para atuarem como multiplicadores dos procedimentos de levantamento de custos de produção de café e leite.bitstream/CPAF-RO-2010/14323/1/doc110-curso-custodeproducaocafeeleite.pd

Self-Similar Collapse of Scalar Field in Higher Dimensions

This paper constructs continuously self-similar solution of a spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of a scalar field in n dimensions. The qualitative behavior of these solutions is explained, and closed-form answers are provided where possible. Equivalence of scalar field couplings is used to show a way to generalize minimally coupled scalar field solutions to the model with general coupling.Comment: RevTex 3.1, 15 pages, 3 figures; references adde
