13. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Wind Power Generation: Application of the Methodology and the Generator to Power System
ABSTRACT Sustainability and economics are current issues in the generation of electricity. The energy matrix is diversified and some forms have stood out, such as wind. Some tools have been developed to improve project efficiency, one of which is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This presents solidity when assisting projects financially and environmentally, eval

14. Fish habitat associations along a longitudinal gradient in a preserved coastal Atlantic stream, Brazil
ABSTRACT Habitat conditions at multiple scales are one of the major factors structuring ichthyofauna. Thus, we analyzed the fish habitat associations along the headwater-mouth gradient of a coastal Atlantic stream. We categorized the sampling sites into habitat units, so that in the middle reach these categories were statistically differentiated into riffles

16. Assessing environmental impacts using a comparative LCA of industrial and artisanal production processes: "Minas Cheese" case
This study uses the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to evaluate and compare the environmental impacts caused by both the artisanal and the industrial manufacturing processes of "Minas cheese". This is a traditional cheese produced in the state of Minas Gerais (Brazil), and it is considered a "cultural patrimony" in the country. The high participation

18. Life Cicle Inventory for Lead Azide Manufacture
ABSTRACT: Like any other manufactured chemical compounds, explosives are produced using chemical reactants and other utilities (steam, heat, compressed air, feed water and electricity) and generate a set of environmental impacts (waste water, solid and water residue and waste heat, for example). On top of that, one can count the intrinsic hazard characterist

19. Effects of anthropogenic impacts on benthic macroinvertebrates assemblages in subtropical mountain streams
The nature of the riparian and surrounding landscape has been modified by anthropogenic activities, which may subsequently alter the composition and functional structure of macroinvertebrate assemblages. The effect of these changes on function of benthic fauna is difficult to assess due to the scarce knowledge on functional structures in tropical streams. In

20. Oceanografia e Química: unindo conhecimentos em prol dos oceanos e da sociedade
The marine environment is certainly one of the most complex systems to study, not only because of the challenges posed by the nature of the waters, but especially due to the interactions of physical, chemical and biological processes that control the cycles of the elements. Together with analytical chemists, oceanographers have been making a great effort in

21. Avaliação do ciclo de vida da areia em mineradora de pequeno porte, na região de São José do Rio Preto - SP / Life Cycle Assessment of sand in small mining in São José do Rio Preto region - São Paulo.
The mining of sand, although of great socio-economic importance to the national scene, has several negative impacts throughout the production chain. Among some of the interference in the natural environment occurs, soil degradation, air pollution and stress in the fauna and flora. This fact has generated great interest in mechanisms that mitigate or prevent

22. A adoção de sistemas de avaliação ambiental de edifícios (LEED e Processo AQUA) no Brasil: motivações, benefícios e dificuldades / The adoption of environmental assessment systems of buildings (LEED e Process AQUA) in Brazil: motivations, benefits e difficulties
The building environmental assessment systems over the world are employing increasingly and we can find several studies concerning this subject. Many authors and websites emphasize the benefits of LEED and Process AQUA, but few discuss quantitatively the impacts, difficulties and reasons for its adoption, showing thus the need and importance of research like
