Efeitos da espacialização de propriedades físicas nas respostas hidrológicas da bacia do rio Ibirapuitã, Rio Grande do Sul

O objetivo desta tese consistiu em avaliar a influência da espacialização de propriedades físicas de bacias hidrográficas, relacionadas à topografia, ao uso do solo, à litologia e à tectônica, e os efeitos na resposta hidrológica. Tais elementos foram desagregados em unidades de resposta hidrológica através de uma estrutura vetorial, com base em técnicas de sensoriamento remoto e sistemas de informação geográfica, que facilitou a modelagem, contemplando os processos hidrológicos verticais e laterais envolvidos. Diferentes níveis de agregação e desagregação espacial alicerçaram a aplicação do hidrograma de Clark para a transformação de chuva em vazão com base nos valores da precipitação efetiva, a partir da utilização do método curva número - CN. A bacia hidrográfica do Rio Ibirapuitã, localizada no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, com área de 5.976 km2, constituiu o estudo de caso, cuja espacialização envolveu um pixel de um km e a utilização do conceito de hidrotopos. As características geológicas evidenciaram a incidência de rochas vulcânicas basálticas (72%), arenitos (24%) e siltito-folhelho (4%), e lineamentos tectônicos, espacializados sob a forma de freqüência, com ocorrência de 47% para a classe forte, 35% para a classe média, 12% para a classe muito forte e o restante 6 % para a classe fraca. A topografia evidenciou um relevo em que as cotas topográficas indicaram valores entre 70 e 230 m. O uso do solo é caracterizado por seis classes, com destaque para campos e pastagens que cobrem cerca de 60% da área, seguindo-se a cultura de arroz irrigado (27%) e matas (11%). Às simulações hidrológicas iniciadas com a influência da litologia, seguiram-se com a incorporação sucessiva dos efeitos da tectônica, da desagregação em duas sub-bacias, da desagregação em cinco sub-bacias. Os resultados obtidos pelas simulações hidrológicas e avaliados pelo coeficiente de eficiência R2 de Nash e Sutcliffe pelo erro médio absoluto (Mean Absolute Error – MAE) e pelos seus incrementos indicaram: a) que os efeitos da variabilidade espacial da litologia constituiu a influência mais significativa (R2 = 0,489, MAE = 0,32); b) que a tectônica foi o segundo fator em importância (R2 = 0,569, MAE = 0,25).; que a desagregação em duas sub-bacias foi a menos importante.(R2 = 0,582, MAE = 0,24); que a desagregação em cinco sub-bacias foi o terceiro fator mais importante (R2 = 0,725, MAE = 0,24).

On the morphology of the juvenile stages of Ampulex compressa (Fabricius 1781) (Hymenoptera, Ampulicidae)

Ampulex compressa is a cockroach-hunting ampulicid wasp. In this survey we describe its egg, mature larva, along with the 1st and 2nd larval instars and cocoon, with emphasis on the characters considered important to the phylogeny of apoid wasps. It shares the following traits with the Sphecidae: reduced head setae, absence of antennal papilla, three antennal sensilla on antennal orbit, broad and strongly emarginate labrum, and spinneret with prominent raised lips. In common with other Ampulicidae, it has integument of the body granulose and without setae, mandibles with four or five teeth and lacking basal setae, maxillary palp larger than galea and discrete parietal bands. Distinct from the other Ampulicidae, it has a deep median longitudinal groove in the area above the salivary lips, a distinct group of five sensilla on the subgenal area, and lacks spines on the spiracular peritreme.

Weak mixing and eigenvalues for arnoux-rauzy sequences

We define by simple conditions two wide subclasses of the socalled Arnoux-Rauzy systems; the elements of the first one share the property of (measure-theoretic) weak mixing, thus we generalize and improve a counterexample to the conjecture that these systems are codings of rotations; those of the second one have eigenvalues, which was known hitherto only for a very small set of examples.

Worldwide evidence of a unimodal relationship between productivity and plant species richness

The search for predictions of species diversity across environmental gradients has challenged ecologists for decades. The humped-back model (HBM) suggests that plant diversity peaks at intermediate productivity; at low productivity few species can tolerate the environmental stresses, and at high productivity a few highly competitive species dominate. Over time the HBM has become increasingly controversial, and recent studies claim to have refuted it. Here, by using data from coordinated surveys conducted throughout grasslands worldwide and comprising a wide range of site productivities, we provide evidence in support of the HBM pattern at both global and regional extents. The relationships described here provide a foundation for further research into the local, landscape, and historical factors that maintain biodiversity.

Inclusive J/psi production in pp collisions at root s=2.76 TeV

The ALICE Collaboration has measured inclusive J/psi production in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s = 2.76 TeV at the LHC. The results presented in this Letter refer to the rapidity ranges vertical bar y vertical bar < 0.9 and 2.5 < y <4 and have been obtained by measuring the electron and muon pair decay channels, respectively. The integrated luminosities for the two channels are L-int(e) = 1.1 nb(-1) and L-int(mu) = 19.9 nb(-1), and the corresponding signal statistics are N-J/psi(e+e-) = 59 +/- 14 and N-J/psi(mu+mu-) = 1364 +/- 53. We present d sigma(J/psi)/dy for the two rapidity regions under study and, for the forward-y range, d(2)sigma(J/psi)/dydp(t) in the transverse momentum domain 0 < p(t) < 8 GeV/c. The results are compared with previously published results at root s = 7 TeV and with theoretical calculations. (C) 2012 CERN. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

J/psi Polarization in pp Collisions at root s=7 TeV

The ALICE Collaboration has studied J/psi production in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV at the LHC through its muon pair decay. The polar and azimuthal angle distributions of the decay muons were measured, and results on the J/psi polarization parameters lambda(theta) and lambda(phi) were obtained. The study was performed in the kinematic region 2: 5 < y < 4, 2 < p(t) < 8 GeV/c, in the helicity and Collins-Soper reference frames. In both frames, the polarization parameters are compatible with zero, within uncertainties.

Underlying Event measurements in pp collisions at root s=0.9 and 7 TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC

We present measurements of Underlying Event observables in pp collisions at root s = 0 : 9 and 7 TeV. The analysis is performed as a function of the highest charged-particle transverse momentum p(T),L-T in the event. Different regions are defined with respect to the azimuthal direction of the leading (highest transverse momentum) track: Toward, Transverse and Away. The Toward and Away regions collect the fragmentation products of the hardest partonic interaction. The Transverse region is expected to be most sensitive to the Underlying Event activity. The study is performed with charged particles above three different p(T) thresholds: 0.15, 0.5 and 1.0 GeV/c. In the Transverse region we observe an increase in the multiplicity of a factor 2-3 between the lower and higher collision energies, depending on the track p(T) threshold considered. Data are compared to PYTHIA 6.4, PYTHIA 8.1 and PHOJET. On average, all models considered underestimate the multiplicity and summed p(T) in the Transverse region by about 10-30%.

Measurement of electrons from semileptonic heavy-flavor hadron decays in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV

The differential production cross section of electrons from semileptonic heavy-flavor hadron decays has been measured at midrapidity (\y\ < 0.5) in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV with ALICE at the LHC. Electrons were measured in the transverse momentum range 0.5 < p(t) < 8 GeV/c. Predictions from a fixed-order perturbative QCD calculation with next-to-leading-log resummation agree with the data within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties.

(KsKs0)-K-0 correlations in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV from the LHC ALICE experiment

Identical neutral kaon pair correlations are measured in root s = 7 TeV pp collisions in the ALICE experiment. One-dimensional (KsKs0)-K-0 correlation functions in terms of the invariant momentum difference of kaon pairs are formed in two multiplicity and two transverse momentum ranges. The femtoscopic parameters for the radius and correlation strength of the kaon source are extracted. The fit includes quantum statistics and final-state interactions of the a(0)/f(0) resonance. (KsKs0)-K-0 correlations show an increase in radius for increasing multiplicity and a slight decrease in radius for increasing transverse mass, mT, as seen in pi pi correlations in pp collisions and in heavy-ion collisions. Transverse mass scaling is observed between the (KsKs0)-K-0 and pi pi radii. Also, the first observation is made of the decay of the f(2)'(1525) meson into the (KsKs0)-K-0 channel in pp collisions.
