2. Body orientation for thermoregulation and daily activity cycle of Mabuya macrorhyncha (Squamata: Scincidae)
ABSTRACT We investigated the daily activity and thermoregulatory body orientation of Mabuya macrorhyncha (Hoge, 1947), a lizard species that occurs in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We conducted this investigation in a sandy coastal dune remnant (“restinga” ecosystem) in Grussaí, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the summer. The daily activity cyc

3. EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL METHANE GENERATION IN THE INVESTIGATION OF AN ABANDONED CONTAMINATED LANDFILL IN SANTIAGO, CHILE
Abstract This study presents the environmental evaluation of an abandoned and potentially contaminated landfill using analyses for the presence of heavy metals and for methane generation potential. The site is located in the city of Santiago, Chile, and was used as a rural landfill for domestic, industrial and construction waste until 1978, but is now in a h

4. Valores de referência para metais potencialmente tóxicos em sedimentos e em moluscos filtradores no Rio Ribeira de Iguape / Reference values to potentially toxic metals in sediments and mussels in the River Ribeira de Iguape
The Ribeira do Iguape River Basin (RIRB) was historically influenced by intense mining activities mainly related to lead (Pb) extraction. For many decades, such exploitation was conducted under rudimentary conditions without control of environmental impacts produced during the stages of ore extraction and beneficiation. Thus, mining wastes and metallurgical

5. A COMUNIDADE DE MICROLIQUENS CROSTOSOS SOFRE ALTERAÇÃO AO LONGO DE GRADIENTES AMBIENTAIS NA CAATINGA? / A COMMUNITY OF SUFFERING MICROLIQUENS CROSTOSOS CHANGE ALONG ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENTS IN CAATINGA?
Lichens are a quite diverse group of organisms and important components of the diversity of tropical forests since they act as pioneer organisms in the colonization of terrestrial environments and play various roles in ecosystems. However, studies on the ecology of lichens only in areas of Caatinga are still lacking. This study, which was held in a conservat

6. Integrated control of Penicillium digitatum by the predacious yeast Saccharomycopsis crataegensis and sodium bicarbonate on oranges
Our investigation of integrated biological control (IBC) started with an assay testing activity of the predacious yeast Saccharomycopsis crataegensis UFMG-DC19.2 against Penicillium digitatum LCP 4354, a very aggressive fungus that causes postharvest decay in oranges. Under unfavourable environmental conditions, the yeast showed a high potential for control

7. Gardening for butterflies to come: a study of place attachment for drug addicts / Cuidando do jardim para virem as borboletas: um estudo sobre apropriação de espaço por dependentes químicos
The objective of this study is to describe how the place attachment occurs by male drug addicts, who are temporarily accommodated in a non-governmental organization, as well as identify other phenomena relevant to environmental psychology also present in this transitional environment. To do this, we used the concept of place attachment proposed by Pol (2002)

11. APOA1/C3/A4 gene cluster variability and lipid levels in Brazilian children
Genetic studies have suggested that polymorphisms of genes coding for apolipoproteins are significant determinants of serum lipoprotein and lipid levels in adults. However, only a few studies have investigated the association of these polymorphisms in children. Therefore, in the present investigation we studied the distribution of APOA1 -75 G>A, +83 C>T, APO

12. THE USE OF GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR) IN ENVIRONMENTAL SITE INVESTIGATION / USO DO GEORADAR (GPR) EM INVESTIGAÇÕES AMBIENTAIS
The present work aims to assess the adequacy of the ground penetrating radar as a screening tool in site in site investigation practice in hydrogeological, geotechnical and environmental studies. An extensive site investigation program was carrid out in Southeast Brazil looking for characterizing the subsurface. Tests were performed to determine the statigra
