Linear Form of 3-scale Relativity Algebra and the Relevance of Stability
We show that the algebra of the recently proposed Triply Special Relativity
can be brought to a linear (ie, Lie) form by a correct identification of its
generators. The resulting Lie algebra is the stable form proposed by Vilela
Mendes a decade ago, itself a reapparition of Yang's algebra, dating from 1947.
As a corollary we assure that, within the Lie algebra framework, there is no
Quadruply Special Relativity.Comment: 5 page

Can aerosols be trapped in open flows?
The fate of aerosols in open flows is relevant in a variety of physical
contexts. Previous results are consistent with the assumption that such
finite-size particles always escape in open chaotic advection. Here we show
that a different behavior is possible. We analyze the dynamics of aerosols both
in the absence and presence of gravitational effects, and both when the
dynamics of the fluid particles is hyperbolic and nonhyperbolic. Permanent
trapping of aerosols much heavier than the advecting fluid is shown to occur in
all these cases. This phenomenon is determined by the occurrence of multiple
vortices in the flow and is predicted to happen for realistic particle-fluid
density ratios.Comment: Animation available at

Initial studies of mating disruption of the tomato moth, Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera : Gelechiidae) using synthetic sex pheromone
The potential of the synthetic major component of T. absoluta (Meyrick) sex pheromone for mating disruption was studied in small plots (0.01 hectares) with fresh-market tomato crop. The effects of the application of the sex pheromone 3E,8Z,11Z-14: Ac (from 0 to 80 g a. i./ha) were assessed on male orientation to pheromone baited traps, mating in cages and plant damage. The highest levels of interruption in male orientation (60-90%) were found in plots treated with 35 to 50 g/ha of sex pheromone. However, no treatment with pheromone was capable of significantly reducing the percentage of mined leaflets or bored fruits or the frequency of mating in cages compared to the control plots. The failure in mating disruption technique may be attributed to the composition of the synthetic pheromone, doses used, high pest population density, and mated female migration to the area treated

Soft singularity and the fundamental length
It is shown that some regular solutions in 5D Kaluza-Klein gravity may have
interesting properties if one from the parameters is in the Planck region. In
this case the Kretschman metric invariant runs up to a maximal reachable value
in nature, i.e. practically the metric becomes singular. This observation
allows us to suppose that in this situation the problems with such soft
singularity will be much easier resolved in the future quantum gravity then by
the situation with the ordinary hard singularity (Reissner-Nordstr\"om
singularity, for example). It is supposed that the analogous consideration can
be applied for the avoiding the hard singularities connected with the gauge
charges.Comment: 5 page
