The advantage of playing home in NBA: microscopic, team-specific and evolving features

Haroldo V. Ribeiro, Satyam Mukherjee e Xiao Han T. Zeng

PLoS ONE (Accepted, 2016)

The idea that the success rate of a team increases when playing home is broadly accepted and documented for a wide variety of sports. Investigations on the so-called “home advantage phenomenon” date back to the 70′s and every since has attracted the attention […]

Time-resolved fluctuation during the photochemical reaction of a photoreceptor protein: phototropin1LOV2-linker

Kunisato Kuroi, Francielle Sato, Yusuke Nakasone, Kazunori Zikihara, Satoru Tokutomi and Masahide Terazima

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics – Volume: 8, Páginas:, Issue:,Doi: 10.1039/C5CP07472J

Although the relationship between structural fluctuations and reactions is important for elucidating reaction mechanisms, experimental data describing such fluctuations of reaction intermediates are sparse. In order to investigate structural fluctuations during a protein reaction, the […]

Transient Superdiffusion and Long-Range Correlations in the Motility Patterns of Trypanosomatid Flagellate Protozoa

Luiz G. A. Alves , Débora B. Scariot, Renato R. Guimarães, Celso V. Nakamura, Renio S. Mendes, Haroldo V. Ribeiro

Plos One – Volume: , Páginas: ,Issue:, Doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0152092

We report on a diffusive analysis of the motion of flagellate protozoa species. These parasites are the etiological agents of neglected tropical diseases: leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania amazonensis and […]

Universality in the nematic lyotropic phase space

D.D. Luders, O.R. Santos, W.S. Braga, A.R. Sampaio, N.M. Kimura, A.J. Palangana, M. Simões,

Journal of Molecular Liquids – Volume: , Páginas: , Issue: , Doi:10.1016/j.molliq.2015.12.035

Here, we propose that some aspects of the phase diagram of nematic lyotropic materials can be put in a universal form. We will show that a simple combination of the order […]

Voltage gain and efficiency of a bi-layered radial mode piezoelectric/magnetoelectric solid-state transformer

D. Z. Montanher, V. F. Freitas, D. M. Silva, F. J. Gaiotto, J. R. D. Pereira, L. F. Cótica, I. A. Santos, D. Garcia, J. A. Eiras, R. Guo & A. S. Bhalla.

Integrated Ferroelectrics – Volume: 174, Páginas: 201-2016 ,Issue: ,Doi:10.1080/10584587.2016.1196560

Piezoelectric transformers are devices able to raise an electrical input voltage with low energy losses. […]

Wastewater Effluent Generated By Grout Industries In Brazil

Fernanda Cavicchioli Zola, Franciely Velozo Aragão, Rafael S. Zola, Cristhiane M. P. Okawa, Generoso De Angelis Neto

Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering – Volume: , Páginas: , Issue: , Doi:10.4090/juee

Civil construction has grown inadvertently in Brazil, and, consequently, its demands for raw material. The production of such materials, as to any industrial process, yields wastewater […]

San Giorgio Prize for Prof. Luiz Roberto Evangelista

Prof. Luiz Roberto Evangelista awarded the prize San Giorgio per Distinzione Accademica, Centro Studi Molisano, Campobasso (Italy). Prof. Evangelista is a physicist and a distinguished academic of international reputation. He was born in Maringa, Parana, Brazil, on March 2, 1958. His great-grandparents were from Molise and arrived in Brazil in the late nineteenth century (1897).

International Photoacoustic and Photothermal Association (IPPA) Junior Prize for Prof. Nelson G. C. Astrath

For outstanding experimental and theoretical contributions to the development of different photothermal methods, the mode mismatched thermal mirror technique in particular, which has substantially enhanced material research in general, and the study of photochemical and photophysics processes in liquids in particular. For his contribution to the experimental demonstration and detailed theoretical interpretation of radiation forces […]

Elastic continuum theory: Towards understanding of the twist-bend nematic phases

G. Barbero, L. R. Evangelista, P. Rosseto R. S. Zola e I. Lelidis

PHYSICAL REVIEW E – Volume: 92; Number article: 030501; DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.92.030501; 2015

The twist-bend nematic phase, NTB , may be viewed as a heliconical molecular arrangement in which the director n precesses uniformly about an extra director field, t. It corresponds to a nematic ground […]

Analogies Between the Cracking Noise of Ethanol-Dampened Charcoal and Earthquakes

Haroldo V. Ribeiro, Leandro S. Costa, Luiz G. Andrade Alves, Perseu A. Santoro, Sergio de Picoli Jr., Ervin K. Lenzi e Renio S. Mendes

Physical Review Letters – Volume: 115; Issue: 2; Article Number: 025503; DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.115.025503; 2015

We report on an extensive characterization of the cracking noise produced by charcoal samples when dampened with ethanol. We argue that the evaporation of ethanol causes […]
