In this study, a smart heat pump, which could be used for the cooling of electronics, made of laminated structure of thermoelectric (TE) and electrocaloric (EC) materials, is studied. A simple arrangement of two TE layers sandwiched with one EC layer is modeled. This smart heat pump utilized the newly developed EC materials of giant adiabatic temperature change and the TE materials of high figure of merit. The system has the advantages of no moving parts, made of solid state, operable over large working temperature difference, and can be formed into very small size. The operation of the device is numerically modeled considering the three major parametric effects: EC operation as a function of time, electric current applied on TE, and temperature difference between the hot and cold sinks. The results on coefficient of performance (COP) and heat flow per unit area are discussed. This study is performed as an early attempt of analyzing the basic physical features of TE–EC–TE laminated structure heat pump and extends the understanding by further discussing the tradeoff between lower COP and larger overall temperature difference coverage in the TE/EC hybrid heat pump system with multilaminated structure.

O objetivo foi quantificar a biomassa e o estoque de nutrientes do híbrido Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden x E. urophylla S. T. Blake (clone H13) aos 60 meses em sistema agrossilvipastoril. O estudo da biomassa residual (folhas e galhos finos), galhos grossos, madeira e casca e do estoque de nutrientes de eucalipto foi realizado na unidade de referência tecnológica de integração lavoura-pecuária-floresta em Nova Canaã do Norte, MT, cultivado em arranjo simples (2x20 m), duplo (3x2x20 m), triplo (3x2x20 m) e em monocultivo (4x3 m). Apenas a biomassa de galhos grossos, madeira e casca apresentaram diferenças significativas entre arranjos. Os nutrientes se acumularam em maior quantidade na madeira, e em ordem decrescente na casca, biomassa residual e nos galhos grossos. A biomassa residual, galhos grossos e casca correspondem a fração expressiva de nutrientes que permanece no sistema, e que contribuem para menor reposição na manutenção desses, após a colheita. O arranjo triplo apresentou maior acúmulo nutricional comparado ao arranjo simples e duplo. A eficiência nutricional é maior no arranjo de linha tripla devido a maior competição intraespecífica. O teor de nutrientes nas diferentes posições ao longo do fuste não apresentou variações nutricionais significativas para a madeira, diferentemente para a casca.Palavras-chave: sistema iLPF, nutrição florestal, compartimentos. BIOMASS AND NUTRIENTS OF EUCALYPTUS CULTIVATED IN AGROSSILVIPASTORAL SYSTEM ABSTRACT:The objective was to quantify the biomass and nutrient stock of the hybrid Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden x E. urophylla S. T. Blake, (clone H13) at 60 months in the agrosilvipastoril system. The study of the residual biomass (leaves and thin branches), thick branches, wood and bark and of the nutrient stock of eucalyptus was carried out in the technological unit of crop-livestock-forest integration in Nova Canaã do Norte, MT, cultivated in a simple arrangement (2x20 m), double (3x2x20 m), triple (3x2x20 m) and monoculture (4x3 m). Only the biomass of thick branches, wood and bark presented significant differences between arrangements. The nutrients accumulate in greater quantity in the wood, and in descending order in the bark, residual biomass and in the thick branches. Residual biomass, thick branches and bark correspond to the expressive fraction of nutrients that remain in the system, and which contribute to a lower replacement in the maintenance of these, after harvesting. The triple arrangement presented greater nutritional accumulation compared to the single and double arrangement. The nutritional efficiency is higher in the triple line arrangement due to greater intraspecific competition. The nutrient content in the different positions along the stem did not present significant nutritional variations for the wood, differently for the bark.Keywords: CLF integration system, forest nutrition, compartments.

Abstract An active beam-pointing stabilization system has been developed for a high-power KrF laser system to eliminate the long-term drift of the directional change of the beam in order to have a stable focusing to a high intensity. The control of the beam direction was achieved by a motor-driven mirror activated by an electric signal obtained by monitoring the position of the focus of the output beam. Instead of large sized UV-sensitive position sensitive detectors a simple arrangement with scatter plates and photodiodes are used to measure the directionality of the beam. After the beam stabilization the long-term residual deviation of the laser shots is ~14 μrad, which is comparable to the shot-to-shot variation of the beam (~12 μrad). This deviation is small enough to keep the focal spot size in a micrometer range when tightly focusing the beam using off-axis parabolic mirrors.

It is important to be able to image biological samples in a manner that is non-invasive and allows the sample to retain its functionality during imaging.A member of the SPM (scanning probe microscopy) family, SNOM (scanning near-field optical microscopy), has emerged as a technique that allows optical and topographic imaging of biological samples whilst satisfying the above stated criteria. The basic operating principle of SNOM is as follows. Light is coupled down a fibre-optic probe with an output aperture of sub-wavelength dimensions. The probe is then scanned over the sample surface from a distance that is approximately equal to the size of its aperture. By this apparently simple arrangement, the diffraction limit posed by conventional optical microscopy is overcome and simultaneous generation of optical and topographic images of sub-wavelength resolution is made possible. Spatial resolution values of lOOnm in air and 60nm in liquid[1,2] are achievable with SNOM.
