In this region, at the end of 19th century, it was identified an archaeological society named Marajora, which occupied the island from 400 to 1,350 AD. It was characterized by a ceramic style recognized by its beauty and exuberance. Until this moment, the physical and chemical analysis studies in this ceramics are scarce and this kind of studies may help archaeological studies performed in the island. With this purpose, this work presents a preliminary study of the firing temperature in the ceramics. For that, the elementary concentrations of 109 samples from Museu de Archaeology and Ethnology Museum of the University of Sáo Paulo and samples collected in the Marajá Island were studied. The samples were analyzed using instrumental neutron activation analysis in which the elemental concentration of Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Eu, Fe, Hf, K, La, Lu, Na, Nd, Rb, Sc, Sm, Ta, Tb, Th, U, Yb and Zn were determined. The interpretation of the results was made using multivariate statistical approaches and showed the existence of three chemical groups. Some samples of each cluster were chosen for the determination of their firing temperatures by electron paramagnetic resonance, in order to verify if different firing temperatures was associated with different elemental groups of ceramic samples. The results showed that there are no statistical differences in the firing temperature between the samples from Archaeology and Ethnology Museum and the contemporary samples of the Marajá Island.展开更多

The probability density function of the height distribution of the generated Gaussian surface and the root-mean-square height of the rough surface are also considered. It is found that the height distribution of the generated surface follows the Gaussian distribution, the deviation of the root-mean-square height of the modeled rough surface from the desired value is smaller than that of Patir's method, and the autocorrelation function of the modeled surface is also in good agreement with the desired autocorrelation function. Compared with Patir's method, the modeled surface generated by the IDFT method is in better agreement with the desired autocorrelation function, especially when the correlation length is relatively large.展开更多

Three interactive versions (low, medium, and high) of a website for a fictitious laptop brand were designed. An online experiment was conducted 180 students participated in the study. Data analysis indicated that higher levels of trust and satisfaction were generated when participants were exposed to the low interactive version of the website. Regarding the four facets of Experiential Value, aesthetics and customer return on investment (croi) have positive relationship with both trust and satisfaction in the brand website. Playfulness appears to have negative whereas excellence does not have significant relationship with trust and satisfaction. Limitations and guidelines for future research are provided.展开更多

We prove in this short communication that similar result is obtained if gravity in D-spacetime dimensions is fractionalized by means of the Glaeske-Kilbaz Saigo fractional. Besides, non-singular gravitational fields are obtained without using extra-dimensions. We present few examples to show that these gravitational fields hold a number of motivating features in spacetime physics.展开更多

The dependences of radiation forces on off-axis distance parameter, correlation length and particle radius are illustrated by numerical examples. The results show that there exist critical values d0,c and or σ0,c for the combined beam. For 0〈d ≤ d0,c or 0〈σ0 ≤ σ0,c the Gaussianlike intensity profile takes place at the geometrical focal plane, so that the transverse gradient force can act as restoring force. As the off-axis distance parameter increases or the correlation length decreases, the maximal intensity, the radiation force and trapping stiffness become smaller, while the transverse and longitudinal trapping ranges become larger. In comparison with a single beam, the combined beam is more favourable for trapping metallic Rayleigh particle owing to the stronger trapping stiffness and the larger trapping range.展开更多
