Vector summed sine wave tailored waveforms for dipolar excitation of ions in Paul trap mass spectrometers

A simple method to generate time domain tailored waveforms for excitation of ion axial amplitude in Paul trap mass spectrometers is described. The method is based on vector summation of sine waves followed by time domain sampling to obtain the discrete time domain data. A smoothing technique based on the time domain Kaiser window is then applied to the data so as to minimize the frequency domain Gibb's oscillations. The dynamic range of the time domain signal is controlled by phase modulation and time extension of the time domain waveform. Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A taxonomic mystery for more than 180 years: the identity and systematic position of Brachysaura minor (HARDWICKE & GRAY, 1827)

Brachysaura is a monotypic genus of agamid lizard found in the Indian subcontinent; the identity and systematic position of B. minor has been long debated, and it has at times been subsumed into Agama, Charasia and Laudakia, with some authors suggesting affinities to Calotes. We constructed nuclear and mitochondrial phylogenetic trees including Brachysaura and allied agamid genera to resolve its phylogenetic position. We also compared osteology and external morphology with the genera Agama, Calotes and Laudakia. Hemipenial morphology was compared with Calotes and some other agamids from South Asia. Both nuclear and mitochondrial phylogenies demonstrate that Brachysaura is nested within the widespread South and Southeast Asian genus Calotes, with which it also shares certain external morphological, osteological and hemipenial characters. Adaptations to ground dwelling in Brachysaura minor has resulted in unique modifications to its body plan, which is likely why generic allocation has been long confused. This study also highlights the need for an integrated systematic approach to resolve taxonomic ambiguity in Asian agamids.

A ilusão do sufrágio universal na Constituição de 1891

Aborda a pretensa introdução do sufrágio universal no Brasil, pela Constituição de 1891. Analisa as acepções dadas ao conceito e sua abrangência no final do século XIX. Descreve a legislação eleitoral do final do período monárquico e primórdios da república. Discute a temática das qualificações e exclusões eleitorais, motivadas pelo voto censitário, pelo analfabetismo e pelo sexo. Identifica as origens das alterações eleitorais ocorridas, em termos de autores, interesses e beneficiários.

Os direitos políticos nas Constituições de 1891 e 1934

Analisa a evolução dos direitos políticos no Brasil a partir das constituições de 1891 e 1934, cartas políticas consideradas democráticas pela historiografia. Enfoca o contexto histórico das constituições sob análise, introduzindo a temática dos direitos políticos no processo de evolução do constitucionalismo brasileiro. Propõe-se a entender, sem fazer propriamente uma confrontação literal das Constituições de 1891 e 1934, como os direitos políticos se fizeram inscrever nestes textos constitucionais e demonstrar, à luz do processo histórico, quais as influências e origens que determinaram a positivação desses direitos bem como mostrar em que medida esses direitos ganharam efetividade sob a égide das cartas políticas analisadas. Questiona até que ponto os direitos políticos existiram, de fato - já que existiram de direito - nas duas primeiras Constituições democráticas brasileiras. Nesse sentido, desenvolve, ainda que de forma breve, uma conceituação jurídica da expressão "Direitos Políticos". Busca então a origem histórica dos direitos políticos, situando no contexto, as origens do sufrágio universal. Num outro momento, analisa o papel das elites intelectuais no processo de institucionalização dos direitos políticos no Brasil. Ao final, procura mostrar o contexto histórico em que estiveram inseridas as Constituições analisadas, para que em seguida se pontue, se descreva e analise as repercussões dos direitos políticos inscritos nos textos constitucionais estudados.
