Fonte escalar acoplada ao campo de Klein-Gordon orbitando um objeto estelar

Neste trabalho determinamos, utilizando Teoria Quântica de Campos em nível de árvore, a radiação escalar emitida por uma fonte em movimento circular uniforme no espaço-tempo plano de Minkowski, assumindo Gravitação Newtoniana, e no espaço-tempo curvo de um buraco negro sem carga e com momento angular nulo, assumindo Relatividade Geral. Efetuamos este cálculo analiticamente para o caso de Minkowski e numericamente no âmbito do espaço-tempo de Schwarzschild, sendo que neste espaço-tempo curvo obtivemos a forma analítica e a normalização dos modos nas regiões assintóticas. Verificamos que, para as órbitas circulares estáveis de acordo com a Relatividade Geral, a potência irradiada no caso de um buraco negro de Schwarzschild é menor do que a obtida no espaço-tempo de Minkowski assumindo a Gravitação Newtoniana. Obtemos também que apenas uma pequena parcela da radiação emitida é absorvida pelo buraco negro. Verificamos que a diferença entre as potências irradiadas em Schwarzschild e Minkowski diminui na medida em que aumentamos o valor da massa do campo. Em Schwarzschild, uma parcela cada vez maior da radiação emitida é absorvida pelo buraco negro na medida em que aumentamos o valor da massa do campo.

Scalar source in circular motion interacting with massive klein-gordon field in Minkowski spacetime

We analyze the scalar radiation emitted by a source in uniform circular motion in Minkowski spacetime interacting with a massive Klein-Gordon field. We assume the source rotating around a central object due to a Newtonian force. By considering the canonical quantization of this field, we use perturbation theory to compute the radiation emitted at the tree level. Regarding the initial state of the field as being the Minkowski vacuum, we compute the emission amplitude for the rotating source, assuming it as being minimally coupled to the massive Klein-Gordon field. We then compute the power emitted by the swirling source as a function of its angular velocity, as measured by asymptotic static observers.

Systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma associated with antiphospholipid syndrome

The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) can be primary, when it occurs alone, or secondary, when it is associated with another autoimmune disease, mainly systemic lupus erythematosus and rarely other autoimmune diseases. Cases described in literature (Medline 1966 to December 2009) associate the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies with the presence of APS and systemic sclerosis (SS). Currently, however, no cases of the SS variant sine scleroderma with APS have been described. In this study, the authors describe the case of a patient with APS characterised by thrombosis of the retinal veins, in May 2006, the presence of lupus anticoagulant and an anticardiolipin IgG antibody. In May 2007, this patient developed Raynaud's phenomenon, a lack of oesophageal motility and nailfold capillaroscopy with a scleroderma pattern. The patient was positive for the anti-centromere antibody but lacked any evidence of cutaneous thickening or involvement. In summary, the authors describe the first case of a patient with APS associated with SS sine scleroderma.

Dispersive wave solutions of the klein-gordon equation in cosmology

L'equazione di Klein-Gordon descrive una ampia varietà di fenomeni fisici come la propagazione delle onde in Meccanica dei Continui ed il comportamento delle particelle spinless in Meccanica Quantistica Relativistica. Recentemente, la forma dissipativa di questa equazione si è rivelata essere una legge di evoluzione fondamentale in alcuni modelli cosmologici, in particolare nell'ambito dei cosiddetti modelli di k-inflazione in presenza di campi tachionici. L'obiettivo di questo lavoro consiste nell'analizzare gli effetti del parametro dissipativo sulla dispersione nelle soluzioni dell'equazione d'onda. Saranno inoltre studiati alcuni tipici problemi al contorno di particolare interesse cosmologico per mezzo di grafici corrispondenti alle soluzioni fondamentali (Funzioni di Green).

Mission synthesis of sine-on-random excitations for accelerated vibration qualification testing

In most real-life environments, mechanical or electronic components are subjected to vibrations. Some of these components may have to pass qualification tests to verify that they can withstand the fatigue damage they will encounter during their operational life. In order to conduct a reliable test, the environmental excitations can be taken as a reference to synthesize the test profile: this procedure is referred to as “test tailoring”. Due to cost and feasibility reasons, accelerated qualification tests are usually performed. In this case, the duration of the original excitation which acts on the component for its entire life-cycle, typically hundreds or thousands of hours, is reduced. In particular, the “Mission Synthesis” procedure lets to quantify the induced damage of the environmental vibration through two functions: the Fatigue Damage Spectrum (FDS) quantifies the fatigue damage, while the Maximum Response Spectrum (MRS) quantifies the maximum stress. Then, a new random Power Spectral Density (PSD) can be synthesized, with same amount of induced damage, but a specified duration in order to conduct accelerated tests. In this work, the Mission Synthesis procedure is applied in the case of so-called Sine-on-Random vibrations, i.e. excitations composed of random vibrations superimposed on deterministic contributions, in the form of sine tones typically due to some rotating parts of the system (e.g. helicopters, engine-mounted components, …). In fact, a proper test tailoring should not only preserve the accumulated fatigue damage, but also the “nature” of the excitation (in this case the sinusoidal components superimposed on the random process) in order to obtain reliable results. The classic time-domain approach is taken as a reference for the comparison of different methods for the FDS calculation in presence of Sine-on-Random vibrations. Then, a methodology to compute a Sine-on-Random specification based on a mission FDS is presented.
