    Behavioral modeling of GaN-based power amplifiers: impact of electrothermal feedback on the model accuracy and identification

    No full text
    In this article, we discuss the accuracy of behavioral models in simulating the intermodulation distortion (IMD) of microwave GaN-based high-power amplifiers in the presence of strong electrothermal (ET) feedback. Exploiting an accurate self-consistent ET model derived from measurements and thermal finite-element method simulations, we show that behavioral models are able to yield accurate results, provided that the model identification is carried out with signals with wide bandwidth and large dynamics

    Peracchius durantae sp.n. PUPARIUM. Habitus (Figs. 1 A): Color light green to yellow in life. Elongate elliptical in shape, with concave re­entrance in anterior margin and longitudinal moulting suture. Wax secretions absent. Puparium 2.26 mm long, 0.66 mm wide. Margin: irregularly crenulate (Fig. 1 B); thoracic and caudal tracheal pore areas differentiated from rest of margin (Figs. 2 B and C); anterior and posterior marginal setae needle­like. Dorsum. Submarginal area punctuated by sinuous lines (Fig. 1 B), not separated from dorsal disc. Longitudinal and transverse moulting sutures reaching margin. Cephalothoracic suture indistinct, promidthoracic and mesohindthoracic sutures short. Cephalothorax with prominent subdorsal, paired tubercles. Cephalic region with four pairs of setae: one stout anterior submarginal needle­like pair (longer than the others), and three pairs that are curved and capitate (Fig. 2 D). Three paired setae, curved and capitate, on thoracic region, two on the prothorax and one on the metathorax; mesothoracic paired setae absent. Abdominal segments distinct on median and submedian areas; each segment, except the eighth, with a pair of prominent tubercles on each side of median area; each of the eight abdominal segments, excepting the second, with a pair of setae between the submedian tubercles (Fig. 2 A). Vasiform orifice subcordate, with rounded teeth posteriorly, and a pair of short, acute, setae near anterior margin (Fig. 2 E). Operculum subcordate, filling about two­thirds of orifice and obscuring the lingula. Caudal ridges present, with no ornamentation, weakly defining a caudal furrow. Disc porettes scattered over dorsum. FIGURE 2. Peracchius durantae sp. n. A—submedian tubercles and capitate setae; B—tracheal thoracic fold (ventral) and pore; C—caudal fold (ventral); D—curved and capitate dorsal disc seta; E—vasiform orifice, showing ventral abdominal spiracles posterior to dorsal 8 th abdominal setae (All scale 1.0 mm except D scale 0.1 mm). Ven te r. Antennae situaded mesal to fore legs. Legs smooth, adhesive pads evident, basal microsetae not discernible (Fig. 1 C). Legs not contiguous. Thoracic and caudal tracheal fold discernible, ornamented with rounded tubercles (Figs. 2 B, 2 C). Marginal thoracic tracheal pores typical C­shaped (Fig. 2 B). Adult: Unknown. Holotype pupal case: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro: Seropédica, 11.v. 2005, A.F. Lima col., on Duranta repens var. Aurea (Verbenaceae), on slide, CECL 12.485. Paratypes: Brazil. All collected from Duranta repens (Verbenaceae). Tocantins: São Salvador, 2 pupal cases, 12.viii. 2004, R. Gredilha col., CECL 12.491; Espírito Santo: Linhares, 6 pupal cases, viii. 2004, P.C.

Racca Filho col., CECL 12489, 2 pupal cases, 31.viii. 2003, F. Racca Filho col., CECL 12.490. Host plants: Verbenaceae: Duranta repens Linnaeus var. aurea. Distribution: Brazil, Belize (see discussion). Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the host plant, Duranta repens, on which the species has been found in Brazil. Discussion. Peracchius durantae is unlike any other previously described whitefly, as defined in the generic and species descriptions, above. The distribution of this species will be modified by additional collecting in view of the wide distribution of the host plant in the Brazilian territory, and specimens of P. durantae have also been collected from an unknown host in Belize. Moreover, unidentified material from other countries in Central America and the Caribbean appears to belong to this new genus (J. Martin, personal communication; material in Natural History Museum, London, UK).Published as part of Lima, A. F. & Racca-Filho, F., 2005, Peracchius durantae, a new genus and species of whitefly (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) from Brazil, pp. 39-43 in Zootaxa 1045 on pages 40-43, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.16988

    Este trabalho trata da relação entre crônica, literatura e política na obra do jornalista e escritor Afonso Henrique de Lima Barreto, no período da primeira república e de como este regime influiu na biografia do autor, refletindo-se na sua produção jornalística e literária. Tendo como base as crônicas de conteúdo político publicadas por Lima Barreto na imprensa da época, serão analisados os usos da crônica e da literatura, como formas de militância, participação e engajamento político, pois a literatura, para o autor em estudo, era o meio e o modo de transformação social. O trabalho se estrutura em três partes: a primeira aborda o período republicano, atrelado à biografia de Lima Barreto; o segundo capítulo trata da literatura militante como opção do escritor e o terceiro, do gênero jornalísticoliterário crônica, enfocando-se, principalmente as crônicas sobre a política nacional republicana que redigiuThis work refers to the relation among novels, literature and politics in the work of Afonso Henrique de Lima Barreto, a journalist and writer, during the first republic and to how this regime influenced the author’s biography and was reflected in his journalistic and literary production. Based on the political content of the novels published by Lima Barreto in the press of this period, the uses of political novels and literature will be analyzed, as a way of militancy and political participation and engagement, since literature for this author was the means and the way of achieving social transformation. The work comprises three parts: the first one refers to the Republican period linked to the biography of Lima Barreto; the second one refers to militant literature as the writer’s option; and the third one refers to the journalistic- literary category of political novels, focusing mainly on the political novels he wrote about the national republican politic
