Universality and Halo Nuclei

Universal aspects of few-body systems will be reviewed motivated by recent interest in atomic and nuclear physics. The critical conditions for the existence of excited states in three-body systems with two-identical particles will be explored. In particular, we consider halo nuclei that can be modeled as three-body nuclear systems, with two halo neutrons and a core. In this context, we also discuss the low-energy neutron-C-19 elastic scattering, near the conditions for the appearance of an Efimov state.

Classification of basis states for (p-f)-nuclei (41 <= A <= 80) with minimal configuration energy

We give a complete classification of basis with unitari (U(A-1), U(3)) and permutational (S)A)) symmetries. Thse are suitable as functions for (p-f)- nuclei (41<= A <= 80) with minimal configuration energy. We also give a brief survey of way in which are obtained.

n-alkanes from Paepalanthus Mart. species (Eriocaulaceae)

Este trabalho apresenta o estudo de substâncias apolares obtidas a partir de plantas pertencentes ao gênero Paepalanthus Mart. (Eriocaulaceae). Hidrocarbonetos alifáticos de cadeias longas lineares foram identificados por CG-DIC e CG-EM. Os resultados indicam que as espécies de Paepalanthus subg. Platycaulon apresentam perfil homogêneo, com cadeias carbônicas de n-alcanos variando de C25 a C31, com a maioria das amostras apresentando freqüências maiores dos homólogos C27 e C29. As espécies do subgênero Paepalocephalus podem ser diferenciadas pela distribuição dos n-alcanos principais. P. macrocephalus, uma espécie da subseção Aphorocaulon, apresenta perfil com alcanos de cadeia ímpar, enquanto P. denudatus e P. polyanthus, espécies da seção Actinocephalus, apresentam perfil bem distinto, com grande número de cadeias mais curtas e alta freqüência de cadeias com número par de carbonos, especialmente P. polyanthus. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a distribuição de nalcanos pode ser útil como caráter taxonômico, assim como as substâncias mais polares, como os flavonóides glicosilados.

Para uma crítica da medicalização na educação

Este artigo analisa criticamente o processo crescente de medicalização da vida cotidiana e suas expressões contemporâneas no campo da educação escolar à luz dos pressupostos da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural, buscando desvelar o processo de produção dos fenômenos do não aprender e não se comportar na escola, bem como os fatores que determinam sua identificação por profissionais da saúde e da educação como sintomas de doenças e transtornos. Dentre as muitas disfunções comumente associadas ao desempenho escolar de crianças na atualidade, são destacados e analisados o TDAH e o TOD. As análises desenvolvidas ao longo do texto indicam que a compreensão da medicalização como um desdobramento inevitável do processo de patologização dos problemas educacionais exige um trabalho intelectual crítico e o desenvolvimento de novos posicionamentos de psicólogos, educadores e profissionais da saúde em relação à sociedade, à educação e ao desenvolvimento humano.

MODEL FOR ASYMPTOTIC D-STATE PARAMETERS OF LIGHT-NUCLEI - APPLICATION TO HE-4

A simple method for calculating the asymptotic D-state observables for light nuclei is suggested. The method exploits the dominant clusters of the light nuclei. The method is applied to calculate the He-4 asymptotic D to S normalization ratio rho(alpha) and the closely related D-state parameter D2alpha. The study predicts a correlation between D2alpha and B(alpha), and between rho(alpha) and B(alpha), where B(alpha) is the binding energy of He-4. The present study yields rho(alpha) congruent-to -0.14 and D2alpha congruent-to -0.12 fm2 consistent with the correct experimental eta(d) and the binding energies of the deuteron, triton, and the alpha particle, where eta(d) is the deuteron D-state to S-state normalization ratio.

Cytochemistry and polarization microscopy of amphibian sperm cell nuclei presumed to differ in basic protein composition

The pattern of availability of free DNA phosphates, and the kind of DNA-protein complex arrangement, both induced by nuclear basic proteins, and the richness in arginine residues in these proteins were investigated cytochemically and cytophysically in spermatozoa of the South-American Hylidae species, Hyla fuscovaria and Hyla biobeba. The aim was to demonstrate differences at the level of sperm histones in two species of Hyla until recently considered to be congeneric. The results indicated differences in the spermatozoal nuclear basic proteins and DNA-protein complexes when the two species were compared. The spermatozoa of Hyla biobeba were assumed to be likely to contain a Bloch's ''type 3'' protein type (intermediate sperm basic protein), similarly to Hyla species of North and Central America. on the other hand, the data obtained for the spermatozoa of Hyla fuscovaria indicated that they contain a protamine or protamine-like protein, differing from Hyla biobeba and Hyla species of North and Central America. It is suggested that the differences reported here may be genus-specific, since Hyla fuscovaria has recently been reclassified as Scinax fuscovaria based on parameters other than sperm histone types. These findings are in agreement with the general view of a wide variability in sperm nuclear proteins in the Anura group.

On computing discriminants of subfields of Q(zeta(pr))

The conductor-discriminant formula, namely, the Hasse Theorem, states that if a number field K is fixed by a subgroup H of Gal(Q(zeta(n))/Q), the discriminant of K can be obtained from H by computing the product of the conductors of all characters defined modulo n which are associated to K. By calculating these conductors explicitly, we derive a formula to compute the discriminant of any subfield of Q(zeta(p)r), where p is an odd prime and r is a positive integer. (C) 2002 Elsevier B.V.

Relativistic deformed mean-field calculation of binding energy differences of mirror nuclei

Binding energy differences of mirror nuclei for A = 15, 17, 27, 29, 31, 33, 39 and 41 are calculated in the framework of relativistic deformed mean-field theory. To fully include the effects of the polarization of the nuclear core due to the extra particle or hole, the spatial components of the vector meson fields and the photon are taken into account in a self-consistent manner. The calculated binding energy differences are systematically smaller than the experimental values and lend support to the existency of the Okamoto-Nolen-Schiffer anomaly found decades ago in nonrelativistic calculations, For the majority of the nuclei studied, however, the results are such that the anomaly is significantly smaller than the one obtained within state-of-the-art nonrelativistic calculations.
