Mossbauer spectra of Fe-57 in a thick film of YBa2(Cu0.97Fe0.03)(3)O7-x irradiated by a large dose of gamma-rays

Mossbauer spectra of Fe-57 in a thick film YBa2(Cu0.97Fe0.03)(3)O7-x irradiated by a large dose of gamma-rays from Co-60 have been measured. The variation of the relative intensities of some subspectra of Fe-57 in the. Mossbauer spectra of the thick film YBa2(Cu0.97Fe0.03)(3)O7-x after irradiation can be observed. This variation indicates that the change of the coordination environment around some Fe atoms in the lattice occurs due to irradiation. The relative intensity of subspectrum D1(Fe) at the Cu(1) site decreases and that of subspectrum D4(Fe) at the Cu(1) site increases. This may be because of the possible oxygen atom hopping between the coordination environments of D1(Fe) and D4(Fe) in the lattice caused by irradiation. The effect of irradiation on the coordination environment around the Fe atom at the Cu(2) site is not appreciable. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

Dynamics of intraseasonal sea level and thermocline variability in the equatorial Atlantic during 2002-03

Satellite and in situ observations in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean during 2002-03 show dominant spectral peaks at 40-60 days and secondary peaks at 10-40 days in sea level and thermocline within the intraseasonal period band (10-80 days). A detailed investigation of the dynamics of the intraseasonal variations is carried out using an ocean general circulation model, namely, the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). Two parallel experiments are performed in the tropical Atlantic Ocean basin for the period 2000-03: one is forced by daily scatterometer winds from the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite together with other forcing fields, and the other is forced by the low-passed 80-day version of the above fields. To help in understanding the role played by the wind-driven equatorial waves, a linear continuously stratified ocean model is also used. Within 3 degrees S-3 degrees N of the equatorial region, the strong 40-60-day sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) and thermocline variability result mainly from the first and second baroclinic modes equatorial Kelvin waves that are forced by intraseasonal zonal winds, with the second baroclinic mode playing a more important role. Sharp 40-50-day peaks of zonal and meridional winds appear in both the QuikSCAT and Pilot Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) data for the period 2002-03, and they are especially strong in 2002. Zonal wind anomaly in the central-western equatorial basin for the period 2000-06 is significantly correlated with SSHA across the equatorial basin, with simultaneous/ lag correlation ranging from-0.62 to 0.74 above 95% significance. Away from the equator (3 degrees-5 degrees N), however, sea level and thermocline variations in the 40-60-day band are caused largely by tropical instability waves (TIWs). On 10-40-day time scales and west of 10 degrees W, the spectral power of sea level and thermocline appears to be dominated by TIWs within 5 degrees S-5 degrees N of the equatorial region. The wind-driven circulation, however, also provides a significant contribution. Interestingly, east of 10 W, SSHA and thermocline variations at 10 40- day periods result almost entirely from wind-driven equatorial waves. During the boreal spring of 2002 when TIWs are weak, Kelvin waves dominate the SSHA across the equatorial basin (2 degrees S-2 degrees N). The observed quasi-biweekly Yanai waves are excited mainly by the quasi-biweekly meridional winds, and they contribute significantly to the SSHA and thermocline variations in 1 degrees-5 degrees N and 1 degrees-5 degrees S regions.

Solos das "Glebas 01, 02, 03 e 06" do Município de Machadinho D´Oeste-RO.

O Município de Machadinho d´Oeste, em Rondônia foi escolhido para um estudo de longo prazo. Já são 10 anos de acompanhamento de mais de 450 pequenas propriedades rurais e cerca de 250 variáveis biofísicas, sócio-econômicas e ambientais. A duração deste projeto é de 100 anos. Os estudos pedológicos da área do "Projeto de Assentamento Machadinho" teve como objetivos identificar os solos das Glebas e implementar uma base de dados do meio físico em escala municipal, através do uso de técnicas de geoprocessamento (SIG´s); bem com o caracterizar e avaliar química, física e morfologicamente os perfis de solos representativos das principais unidades identificadas, a fim de promover o desenvolvimento agrícola da região e fornecer subsídios para estudos em áreas semelhantes na Amazônia.

The SuperWASP wide-field exoplanetary transit survey: candidates from fields 23 h <RA <03 h

Photometric transit surveys promise to complement the currently known sample of extra-solar planets (ESPs) by providing additional information on the planets and especially their radii. Here, we present ESP candidates from one such survey called, the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) obtained with the SuperWASP wide-field imaging system. Observations were taken with SuperWASP North located in La Palma during the 2004 April to October observing season. The data cover fields between 23 and 03 h in RA at declinations above +12. This amounts to over ~400000 stars with V magnitudes 8-13.5. For the stars brighter than 12.5, we achieve better than 1 per cent photometric precision. Here, we present 41 sources with low-amplitude variability between ~1 and 10 mmag, from which we select 12 with periods between 1.2 and 4.4 d as the most promising ESP candidates. We discuss the properties of these ESP candidates, the expected fraction of transits recovered for our sample and implications for the frequency and detection of hot-Jupiters.

Las comunidades benticas entre los 03º y 09º S en mayo de 1995 (Cr. BIC SNP-1, 9505-06)

Estudio de la estructura de las comunidades bentónicas sublitorales de fondo blando mediante el análisis de 11 muestras de draga colectadas entre los 03°38 ' y 09°16 'S, entre el 12 y 19 de mayo de 1995. Se determinó la biodiversidad a nivel de especies de macrobentos para las subáreas A, B, C, D. Se evaluó el nivel de similaridad entre las 11 estaciones analizadas a nivel de grupos taxonómicos (Polychaeta, Crustacea, Mollusca, Nemertinea y otros), así como la relación entre el nivel de estrés de las comunidades de las subáreas latitudinales A, B, C, D y la agremiación en el grupo dominante (Polychaeta). Fueron diferenciadas un total de 73 especies macrobénticas de las cuales el 64,38% pertenece a la clase Polychaeta. El patrón de distribución de las biomasas totales del macrobentos es más simple que el de las abundancias, con una tendencia a la ubicación de los valores máximos al norte de los 04° S. Se comprueba una relación inversa entre el grado de agremiación y el nivel de estrés medido con el índice SEP.

Resumen ejecutivo sobre el crucero de evaluación hidroacústica de recursos pelágicos BIC SNP-1 9702-03 y BIC Humboldt 9704

El Crucero 9702-04 de Evaluación hidroacústica de Recursos Pelágicos se desarrolló en dos etapas. Al sur, a bordo del BIC SNP-1 (Cr. 9702-03), y al norte, a bordo del BIC Humboldt (Cr. 9704). La prospección se desarrolló en un momento de rápida transición entre las condiciones frías imperantes desde la primavera de 1995, a las actualmente cálida de 1997. Las anomalías térmicas, que en un principio eran sólo consideradas como un calentamiento, fueron identificadas como una fuerte intromisión de Aguas Ecuatoriales Superficiales, cuyo avance fue calificado luego como un fenómeno El Niño de intensidad moderada al momento de culminar el crucero. Los ejemplares juveniles de anchoveta estuvieron ausentes en la zona norte. Se estimó que la población de anchoveta fluctuó, a fines de abril de 1997, entre 9 y 10 millones de toneladas. Se considera que el fenómeno puede afectar los procesos biológicos de desove y reclutamiento de los recursos pelágicos. Durante el crucero, la sardina mostró una clara proyección migratoria hacia el sur, mientras que el jurel y la caballa se dispersaron en gran parte del área de estudio.
