1. Difference in nutritional values between wild and farmed tambaqui in the north region of Brazil
Abstract The demand for wild tambaqui has led to overfishing of their natural stocks, and has thus increased the demand for farmed fish. This has raised a question regarding the nutritional value of these groups of individuals; to see if they differ when they grow in wild and farmed environments. The meat of 28 tambaqui was evaluated by measuring the moistur

2. Thallium Associated with Manganese Ore Tailings in a Deactivated Mine in the Western Region of Bahia, Brazil
Thallium (Tl) is a rare metal with toxic effects notably harmful to human health and the environment. In this article, the natural occurrence of Tl was evaluated in a deactivated manganese mine located in the western region of Bahia, Brazil. The extraction procedure with aqua regia was used to dissolve the soil, sediment, and tailings samples. The Tl content

4. Food safety: relation between pesticides and poisoning
Abstract Brazil has worldwide relevance in agriculture, as well as being one of the largest consumers of pesticides. This reality associated with underreporting of poisonings, food sample data above the permitted limit of current legislation, possible pesticide flexibilities and increasing smuggling of these products. This study aimed to evaluate the marketi

5. Implementation of ventilation towers in a greenhouse established in low altitude tropical climate conditions: numerical approach to the behavior of the natural ventilation
ABSTRACT Deficient ventilation rates and airflow patterns in naturally ventilated greenhouses are the main causes for the generation of inadequate and heterogeneous thermal conditions inside this type of structure. In this research, a numerical study was developed using a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model validated in a Colombian greenhouse

6. CHARACTERIZATION OF AQUATIC ORGANIC MATTER IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL
The organic matter (OM) contained in a natural aquatic environment, located in a tropical region in Notheastern Brazil, was characterized using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and UV-Vis absorbance. The synchronous fluorescence spectra did not show qualitative differences for samples collected during dry and rainy seasons. They also revealed two peaks,

7. Analysis of carbonation and hydration of BOF steel slag for application as railway ballast
Abstract The reutilization of waste is a valuable alternative for the preservation of natural resources and the environment. In this sense, Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) steel slag is one of the most residues generated in steel the industry. It is estimated that for each ton of steel produced, about 150 kg of steel slag is generated in the BOF process. Generall

8. PERFORMANCE AND WELFARE OF FINISHING PIGS SUBJECTED TO CLIMATECONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY LIGHTING
ABSTRACT An adequate thermal environment in pig farming facilities is essential to ensure productivity and animal welfare. The objective of this study was to evaluate the behavior and performance of finishing pigs, subjected to climate-controlled environments and supplementary lighting. Twenty-seven pigs (3/4 Duroc, 1/4 Pietrain) were kept in pens with no cl

9. Characterization of Lactobacillus plantarum strains isolated from Turkish pastırma and possibility to use of food industry
Abstract Five Lactobacillus plantarum strains (which were previously isolated from Turkish pastırma), were evaluated for the possibilities of using in the food industry. Antimicrobial properties, metabolic activities, exopolysaccharide production and antibiotic resistance were investigated. It was also assessed probiotics features such as adhesion ability,

10. Correlations of rock mass classifications applied to ferruginous caves
Abstract For the Brazilian iron ore mines, the presence of caves presents a challenge, since most of them are located within the ore deposit. The National Environment Commission (CONAMA 347 Resolution/2004) establishes that the speleological heritage, as well as its area of influence, cannot sustain irreversible environmental impacts. The physical integrity

12. Minieditorial: Risco de FA após Ablação de Flutter Dependente de Istmo Cavo-Tricuspídeo: Vale a Pena Fazer a Ablação da FA Simultaneamente?
Considering the size of the Amazon region and the need for studies to establish soil trace metal concentrations in natural environments, the objective of this work was to evaluate heavy metal contents in a toposequence of an Amazon State microbasin. Soil samples were collected in three native forest topographic positions. Samples were opened for analysis by
