Food selection by a mangrove crab: temporal changes in fasted animals
(Springer, 2013-02-01)
The feeding choices of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus for various mangrove plant leaves (Avicennia schaueriana, Laguncularia racemosa, and Rhizophora mangle) at different ages (mature, senescent pre-abscission, and ...
Comparison of methodologies for cloud cover estimation in Brazil - A case study
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018)
Clouds are the major modulator of the shortwave and longwave radiation components of the Earth's energy balance and, as such, help to regulate the planer s temperature. In the energy sector, clouds are a source of instability ...
Atmospheric aerosol influence on the Brazilian solar energy assessment: Experiments with different horizontal visibility bases in radiative transfer model
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016)
The radiative transfer model BRASIL-SR is used by Brazilian Institute for Space Research for the assessment of the solar irradiation in Brazil. The model parameterizes the influence of aerosols in the solar radiation ...
Impacto da mistura de metais sobre uma comunidade de meiofauna em cenários de aquecimento e acidificação oceânica
(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2020-08-28)
Increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere gradually warms the planet and acidifies the oceans. The presence of metals in estuarine sediment has been reported in several studies and may affect benthic organisms directly ...
Thermoluminescence features of MgB4O7:Tb phosphor
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-02-01)
In the present work, polycrystalline samples of MgB4O7 doped with terbium at different concentrations were synthesized using the solvent evaporation method. the sample doped with 1 mol% of Tb presented the highest luminescence ...
Climate trends on the extreme winds in Brazil
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017)
The main source of electricity in Brazil is from hydro, which has about 65.2% share of the country's electric energy matrix. However, over the last decade the wind energy increased from 19 MW to 2.2 GW. Since wind is an ...
Economic analysis of oil production by applying in situ combustion
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2017)
THAI (TM) (Toe-to-Heel Air Injection) is a process of enhanced oil recovery, not yet applied in Brazil, which consists of integrating the in situ combustion process with technological advances of horizontal well drilling. ...

(Elsevier B.V., 2014-12-01)
Excavation of Toca do Serrote das Moendas, in Piaui state, Brazil revealed a great quantity of fossil wild fauna associated with human remains. in particular, fossils of a cervid (Blastocerus dichotomus) were found, an ...
Distribution and bioaccumulation of butyltins in the edible gastropod odontocymbiola magellanica
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
Butyltins (BTs) were found in sediments and body tissues of the edible gastropod Odontocymbiola magellanica, in which imposex has been recorded since 2000. BTs in sediments ranged from < MDL to 174.8 ng (Sn) g(-1) for TBT, ...
Palaeoenvironmental interpretations based on molluscs from mid-Holocene lacustrine limestones, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017)
In central Brazil there are continental carbonate rocks in three different geological contexts – the Pleistocene wackestones in the Corumbá city (Xaraiés Formation), the mid-Holocene limestones lenses in the Pantanal Plain ...
