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 ...
Intraspecific variation in alkaline phosphatase activity in Phaeodactylum tricornutum (Bacillariophyceae, Bohlin)
(Soc Botanica Brasil, 2016)
To describe potential intraspecific variation in phosphorus incorporation in two strains of Phaeodactylum tricornutum (Bohlin), Ub3 and Ub7, alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity was evaluated via enzyme-labeled fluorescence ...
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 ...
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 ...
Considerations about the recommendations of the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf on the Amazon fan
(Instituto Brasileiro de Relações Internacionais, 2014-01-01)
In 2004, Brazil submitted to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) a Submission for the outer limit of the Brazilian continental shelf for its extension beyond the limits of 200 nautical miles. In ...
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. ...
The Western South Atlantic Ocean in a High-CO2 World: Current Measurement Capabilities and Perspectives
(Springer, 2016)
An international multi-disciplinary group of 24 researchers met to discuss ocean acidification (OA) during the Brazilian OA Network/Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study (BrOA/SOLAS) Workshop. Fifteen members of the BrOA ...
Fibrous PCL/PLLA Scaffolds Obtained by Rotary Jet Spinning and Electrospinning
(Univ Fed Sao Carlos, Dept Engenharia Materials, 2017)
Rotary jet spinning (RJS) and electrospinning are techniques to obtain fibrous scaffolds. RJS is a simple method, which fabricates three-dimensional fibers by exploiting a high-speed rotating nozzle, creating a polymer jet ...
