1. Assessment of Urban Contamination by Sewage in Sediments from Ipojuca River in Caruaru City, Pernambuco, Brazil
The Ipojuca River is considered the third most polluted river in Brazil due to the intense anthropogenic activities in the surrounding urban areas. The most important effluent is sewage discharge, which is responsible for considerable contamination. Traditional analyses (infrared spectroscopy, organic matter (OM), elemental analysis and granulometry) and adv

2. Metal Distribution in the Environmental Compartments of Manguaba Lagoon (Alagoas State, Brazil)
The metal concentrations in water, sediments and mollusks (Tagelus plebeius) of the Manguaba Lagoon and the influence of humic substances from water and sediments in the distribution of these metals were investigated in this work. The mean metal concentrations in water were: Mg (89.0 ± 0.11), Ca (32.0 ± 0.10), Fe (0.97 ± 0.02), Mn (0.52 ± 0.01), Zn (0.33

3. Spatial and Temporal Effects of Decommissioning a Zinc Smelter on the Sediment Quality of an Estuary System: Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was home to a zinc smelter until its shutdown in 1998, and during 2011 the remains of the smelter were decommissioned. This study investigates the impact of decommissioning on metal concentrations in the bottom sediments of the bay. In addition to Zn and Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb are also quantified. The results show that ov

4. Organic matter composition related to methane ebullitive flux of an urban coastal lagoon, Southeastern Brazil
In 2016, Brazil emitted 18.25 Tg of methane. Some of these emissions occur through continental aquatic ecosystems, locations of fate and accumulation of organic and inorganic matter. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the origin of organic matter in Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, an eutrophic, coastal and chocked lagoon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, through

5. Rheology applied to the environmental management of mineral tailings: focus on safer disposal and water reuse
Abstract Mining activities worldwide are subject to serious geotechnical accidents involving tailings dams. Therefore, many studies have focused on tailings dewatering before their deposition. This article studies the rheological properties of flocculated and thickened nickel tailings in order to determine the effect of the initial solid concentration and ty

6. Experimental bedforms by saline density currents
Abstract Bedforms are sedimentary features that can be generated on the seafloor by the interaction between density currents and mobile beds. Developing knowledge about the hydraulic and sedimentary processes involved during these events is in the interest of research groups and oil companies. Because of the magnitude of the density currents in its natural e

7. Space-Temporal analysis of suspended sediment in low concentration reservoir by remote sensing
RESUMO O estudo de pequenos reservatórios e com baixa concentração de sedimentos em suspensão (CSS) ainda é um desafio para o sensoriamento remoto. Neste trabalho estimamos a CSS a partir das propriedades óticas da água e de imagens orbitais. Realizamos campanhas em datas escolhidas em função do calendário de passagem dos sensores, sazonalidade das

8. Automatic calibration of a large-scale sediment model using suspended sediment concentration, water quality, and remote sensing data
RESUMO A calibração e a validação são duas etapas importantes na aplicação de modelos de sedimentos que requerem dados observados. Nesse contexto, este estudo investigou o potencial de uso dos dados de concentração de sedimentos em suspensão (CSS), qualidade da água e sensoriamento remoto na calibração e validação de um modelo hidrossedimentol

9. Heavy Metal Bioaccumulation in Enteromorpha intestinalis, (L.) Nees, a Macrophytic Algae: The Example of Kadin Creek (Western Anatolia)
ABSTRACT This study aims to specify the amount of ten heavy metals (Al, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Hg, Pb) in water, sediment and Enteromorpha intestinalis samples gathered from Kadin Creek in seasonal periods in 2011 and 2012 and to reveal bioaccumulation capability of this macrophytic algae. In this regard, heavy metal concentrations in the gathered sampl

10. MERCURY IN THE SEDIMENT OF PELOTAS RIVER BASIN, BRAZIL
ABSTRACT Many studies have determined the concentration of trace elements in river sediments in Brazil. Notwithstanding, mercury assessments are scarce, especially because of exclusive extraction techniques and expensive analysis techniques. Still, this element is known for its toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation, making its presence in the environmen

11. Preliminary assessment of Miramar Petrochemical Harbor as PAH source to Guajará bay (Belém-PA-Brazil) surface sediments
Abstract A preliminary study on a petrochemical harbor as a potential source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) to surface sediments of Guajará bay, located in Belém City, Pará State, Brazil, over the last 10 years is presented here. The 16 priority USEPA PAH were identified and quantified. Surface sediment samples, collected at 5 sites in the bay,

12. Cholecystectomy during ceftriaxone therapy. A translational study with a new rabbit model
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the actual incidence of both microlithiasis and acute cholecystitis during treatment with intravenous ceftriaxone in a new rabbit model. Methods: New Zealand rabbits were treated with intravenous ceftriaxone or saline for 21 days. Ultrasound monitoring of the gallbladder was performed every seven days until the 21st day when
