13. Influence of the Transport of Sea Spray on the Salinization of the Semiarid Region Waters (Bahia, Brazil)
The sea spray can be transported to long distances, reaching the semiarid regions. In this work, the rainwater and the atmospheric particulate matter were characterized by investigating the presence of sea spray in the atmosphere of the semiarid region of Bahia, Brazil, aiming to study the influence of its transport on the salinization of the waters of the r

14. The trophic niche of Mesoclemmys vanderhaegei (Testudines: Chelidae): evidence from stable isotopes
ABSTRACT Ecological niche is the multidimensional space comprising the resources used by an organism. Intraspecific variation in resource exploitation is common in reptile populations to maximize coexistence of individuals. The use of stable isotope analysis is an effective tool when there are variations in resource exploitation, since it can provide quantit

15. Exploratory Analysis of Sparkling Wines Based in the Combined Data of Stable Isotope Analysis with Physicochemical Variables and Volatile Profile
This work performs an exploratory analysis of the sparkling wines from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Samples of traditional sparkling wine and Moscatel sparkling wine were analyzed and chemometrics tools were applied to physicochemical, gas chromatography and stable carbon isotope analysis. The carbon isotope ratio (δ13C-CO2) of the samples presen

16. Histosols in an Upper Montane Environment in the Itatiaia Plateau
ABSTRACT: Highland environments favor accumulation and preservation of soil organic matter (SOM) due to low temperatures, leading to the formation of Histosols. The Itatiaia National Park (INP), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, offers conditions for preservation of SOM deposited over time, which has led to the formation of these soils. The objective of this study was

17. Incorporation of Labeled Methionine as a Tissue Tracer in Broiler Chickens
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the process of L-methionine incorporation in the blood plasma, liver, breast muscle, and abdominal fat of 35- to 59-d-old broiler chickens using the carbon stable isotope (12C and 13C) technique for the estimation of methionine requirements. In this experiment, 51 male broiler chickens orally received a so

18. Isotopic variation among Amazonian floodplain woody plants and implications for food-web research
Isotopic variation within food sources adds uncertainty to models intended to reconstruct trophic pathways. Understanding this variation is pivotal for planning sampling protocols for food-web research. This study investigates natural variation in C and N stable isotopes among plant species in two western Amazon flooded forests with contrasting watershed bio

19. Carbon primary sources and estuarine habitat use by two congeneric ariid catfishes in a subtropical coastal lagoon
ABSTRACT Although ariid catfishe species are known to use coastal systems during some stages of their life cycles, the energetic contribution of estuarine resources and habitat use by many species in this family are still unclear. We used stable isotope analyses to estimate the assimilation of primary carbon sources and to infer the use of estuarine and fres

20. Stable isotope evidence for trophic overlap of sympatric Mexican Lake Chapala silversides (Teleostei: Atherinopsidae: Chirostoma spp.)
We explore the trophic role that a diverse sympatric group of fishes in the genus Chirostoma play in a large, shallow lake in central Mexico, Lake Chapala. We use δ13C and δ15N stable isotope - based food web analyses to explore how they relate to other components of the Lake Chapala ecosystem. We find five Chirostoma species in top trophic levels of the C

21. Mapping Ethanol Production Sources in Brazil Through Stable Isotopes
Ethanol is a biofuel produced in Brazil through fermentation of sugarcane, requiring vast plantation areas and water availability. The present work aimed at testing isotopic markers as tools for ethanol source appointment or certification of origin. For this, oxygen and hydrogen isotopic patterns were determined in plant-water, soil-water, rainwater, and wat

22. Performance and isotopic composition of 13C and 15N in muscle tissue of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed with different protein / Desempenho produtivo e composição isotópica de 13C e 15N no tecido muscular de tilápia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) alimentada com diferentes fontes protéicas
Alternative sources of food have been studied in substitution for fishmeal in aquaculture, and it may result in a difference in incorporation of carbon and nitrogen, depending on the nutritional value and availability of the source. Two experiments were designed to quantify the participation of different protein sources in the muscle tissue in juvenile and p

23. Synthesis of 15N-enriched urea (CO(15NH2)2) from 15NH3, CO, and S in a discontinuous process
CO(15NH2)2 enriched with the stable isotope 15N was synthesized based on a reaction involving CO, 15NH3, and S in the presence of CH3OH. The method differs from the industrial method; a stainless steel reactor internally lined with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was used in a discontinuous process under low pressure and temperature. The yield of the synthesi

24. Protein turnover, amino acid requirements and recommendations for athletes and active populations
Skeletal muscle is the major deposit of protein molecules. As for any cell or tissue, total muscle protein reflects a dynamic turnover between net protein synthesis and degradation. Noninvasive and invasive techniques have been applied to determine amino acid catabolism and muscle protein building at rest, during exercise and during the recovery period after
