VELOCITY PROFILE VISUALIZATION OF WATER NATURAL PERCOLATION IN A POROUS MEDIUM
This paper aims to show the profile and the behavior of the velocity of the water flow through a porous medium composed of clay and sand aggregated by burning in an oil furnace. The work models mathematics based on the Navier-Stokes differential equation, which represents the behavior of the water velocity flow in porous medium taking into account parameters of a low velocity laminar flow, increased load loss value and Number of Reynolds > 1. Physical phenomena such as porosity, permeability, particles arrangement, radius and wet perimeter are considered in the equation. The study shows the three-dimensional profile of the water percolation velocity which, originated from the capillary phenomenon, causes a sum of the tensions of increased values able to produce cracks in the medium structure. And, differently from filtration phenomenon, which overcomes the capillarity of the medium by the gravitational force or by efforts applied aiming to increase the flow velocity, the natural percolation opposes to the gravity and to the surrounding pressure moving slowly, reaching the flow at 30 and 40 centimeters depending on the permeability of the porous medium
The graphene sheet versus the 2DEG: a relativistic Fano spin-filter via STM and AFM tips
We explore theoretically the density of states (LDOS) probed by an STM tip of
2D systems hosting an adatom and a subsurface impurity,both capacitively
coupled to AFM tips and traversed by antiparallel magnetic fields. Two kinds of
setups are analyzed, a monolayer of graphene and a two-dimensional electron gas
(2DEG). The AFM tips set the impurity levels at the Fermi energy, where two
contrasting behaviors emerge: the Fano factor for the graphene diverges, while
in the 2DEG it approaches zero. As result, the spin-degeneracy of the LDOS is
lifted exclusively in the graphene system, in particular for the asymmetric
regime of Fano interference. The aftermath of this limit is a counterintuitive
phenomenon, which consists of a dominant Fano factor due to the subsurface
impurity even with a stronger STM-adatom coupling. Thus we find a full
polarized conductance, achievable just by displacing vertically the position of
the STM tip. To the best knowledge, our work is the first to propose the Fano
effect as the mechanism to filter spins in graphene. This feature arises from
the massless Dirac electrons within the band structure and allows us to employ
the graphene host as a relativistic Fano spin-filter
Trophic innovations fuel reef fish diversification
Reef fishes are an exceptionally speciose vertebrate assemblage, yet the main drivers of their diversification remain unclear. It has been suggested that Miocene reef rearrangements promoted opportunities for lineage diversification, however, the specific mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we assemble near-complete reef fish phylogenies to assess the importance of ecological and geographical factors in explaining lineage origination patterns. We reveal that reef fish diversification is strongly associated with species’ trophic identity and body size. Large-bodied herbivorous fishes outpace all other trophic groups in recent diversification rates, a pattern that is consistent through time. Additionally, we show that omnivory acts as an intermediate evolutionary step between higher and lower trophic levels, while planktivory represents a common transition destination. Overall, these results suggest that Miocene changes in reef configurations were likely driven by, and subsequently promoted, trophic innovations. This highlights trophic evolution as a key element in enhancing reef fish diversification
Synergism of Chemical and Microbial Additives on Sugarcane (\u3ci\u3eSaccharum Officinaruml.\u3c/i\u3e) Silage Fermentation
Sugarcane has a high productive potential (30 t DM/year) and it is commonly used in its fresh form. The ensiling of sugarcane is increasing but little research has been carried out to reduce nutrient losses during fermentation
A microscopic approach to heating rate of ferrofluid droplets by a magnetic field
CNPQ - CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICOCAPES - COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL E NÍVEL SUPERIORIn this work, we study the heating process of colloidal ferrofluids by a magnetic field. The heating of the fluid occurs by the magnetic relaxation of the nanoparticles which provide thermal energy for the host liquid. In the limit of small volumes, the relaxation process occurs through the Neel mechanism since the magnetic nanoparticles present superparamagnetic behavior. Within this limit, we have used a microscopic model for the coupling to phonons and external magnetic field in order to model the relaxation mechanism and to obtain an expression for the heating rate of the fluid as a function of microscopic parameters. The analysis allows determining appropriate conditions for an optimal heating rate for ferrofluids based on superparamagnetic nanoparticles.1254111CNPQ - CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICOCAPES - COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL E NÍVEL SUPERIORCNPQ - CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICOCAPES - COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL E NÍVEL SUPERIOR307466/2016-7PNPD 028/2010E.C.S. acknowledges support from the CNPq agency under Grant No. 307466/2016-7.

Seletividade de agrotóxicos à Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae).
Trichogramma pretiosum é um agente de controle biológico eficaz para utilização em programas de manejo de Pseudoplusia includens e Anticarsia gemmatalis em diferentes áreas geográficas e condições climáticas onde a soja é cultivada. No entanto, atualmente, a utilização de agrotóxicos ainda é necessária para o controle de pragas nessa cultura e por isso é preciso selecionar aqueles com menor impacto negativo aos agentes de controle biológico. Portanto, objetivando selecionar os agrotóxicos mais seletivos ao T. pretiosum, 19 inseticidas, sete herbicidas e 10 fungicidas foram avaliados em pupas e adultos de T. pretiosum em condições de laboratório seguindo os protocolos internacionais padronizados pela International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC). Em geral, os insecticidas foram mais tóxicos para o parasitoide quando comparados com os fungicidas e herbicidas. Entre os inseticidas, os produtos do grupo dos reguladores de crescimento de insetos e os vírus da poliedrose nuclear (baculovírus) foram inócuos, enquanto os do grupo dos piretróides, organofosforados e carbamatos foram classificados como nocivos. Entre os herbicidas o paraquate foi o mais prejudicial e o 2,4-D o mais inócuo, enquanto os demais foram ligeiramente ou moderadamente nocivos. Todos os fungicidas testados foram classificados como seletivos ou levemente nocivos para pupa e adultos do parasitoide. Por conseguinte, tendo essa diferença observada em relação aos efeitos colaterais, os produtos menos nocivos devem ser escolhidos, sempre que possível para serem utilizados no MIP-Soja. Ainda, a seletividade de agrotóxicos mostrou-se ser um critério importante na escolha do melhor agrotóxicos para ser usado na soja, visando a sustentabilidade desta cultura
