Monitoramento orbital das queimadas em áreas indígenas e unidades de conservação no Brasil em 2001.

2002

Balanço do monitoramento orbital das queimadas no Brasil em 2001.

Resumo dos resultados obtidos ao longo do ano de 2001, sobre o monitoramento das queimadas no Brasil, enviado para a campanha de controle e redução das queimadas na agricultura brasileira, realizada pelo Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA). A campanha pretende estimular o uso de alternativas tecnológicas na agricultura que substituam as queimadas, em especial nas regiões Norte e Centro-Oeste, uma das áreas mais atingidas por essa prática. A dinâmica das queimadas revelou um crescimento significativo em 2001 com relação ao ano anterior e várias surpresas, tanto na sua repartição espacial, detalhadas neste trabalho.

Este documento resume os resultados da pesquisa realizada pela Embrapa Monitoramento por Satélite visando atender o Ministério da Agricultura e do Abastecimento, para identificação de áreas críticas no país quanto ao uso do fogo.

Spin-state splittings, highest-occupied-molecular-orbital and lowest-unoccupied-molecular-orbital energies, and chemical hardness.

It is known that the exact density functional must give ground-state energies that are piecewise linear as a function of electron number. In this work we prove that this is also true for the lowest-energy excited states of different spin or spatial symmetry. This has three important consequences for chemical applications: the ground state of a molecule must correspond to the state with the maximum highest-occupied-molecular-orbital energy, minimum lowest-unoccupied-molecular-orbital energy, and maximum chemical hardness. The beryllium, carbon, and vanadium atoms, as well as the CH(2) and C(3)H(3) molecules are considered as illustrative examples. Our result also directly and rigorously connects the ionization potential and electron affinity to the stability of spin states.

FSBS resonances observed in a standard highly nonlinear fiber.

Forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (FSBS) is observed in a standard 2-km-long highly nonlinear fiber. The frequency of FSBS arising from multiple radially guided acoustic resonances is observed up to gigahertz frequencies. The tight confinement of the light and acoustic field enhances the interaction and results in a large gain coefficient of 34.7 W(-1) at a frequency of 933.8 MHz. We also find that the profile on the anti-Stokes side of the pump beam have lineshapes that are asymmetric, which we show is due to the interference between FSBS and the optical Kerr effect. The measured FSBS resonance linewidths are found to increase linearly with the acoustic frequency. Based on this scaling, we conclude that dominant contribution to the linewidth is from surface damping due to the fiber jacket and structural nonuniformities along the fiber.

Giant resonances in cold electron scattering by CS2

Experimental data are presented for the scattering of cold electrons by CS2, for both integral and backward scattering, between a few meV and a few hundred meV impact energy. Giant resonances with cross sections in excess of 50 Angstrom(2) are observed below 100 meV, associated with the transient formation of CS2- at 15 meV and with the bend and symmetric stretch of CS2 at thresholds of 49 and 82 meV, respectively. The resonance at 49 meV is 2 orders of magnitude greater in cross section than a dipole impulsive model predicts. These structures are superimposed on a sharp rise in the scattering cross section at low energy, which may be attributed to virtual state scattering.
