GDP and environment pressure: the role of energy in Latin America and The Caribbean
(Elsevier, 2011-12)
This paper analyzes the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption for a sample of 21 Latin American and Caribbean countries during the 1970-2007 period. The investigation is made on the bases of the Energy ...
Are all patches worth exploring? Foraging desert birds do not rely on environmental indicators of seed abundance at small scales
(BioMed Central, 2019-06)
Background: Consumers should show strong spatial preferences when foraging in environments where food availability is highly heterogeneous and predictable. Postdispersal granivores face this scenario in most arid areas, ...
Common toad Rhinella arenarum (Hensel, 1867) and its importance in assessing environmental health: test of micronuclei and nuclear abnormalities in erythrocytes
(Springer, 2015-09)
Anthropogenic activities may generate significant changes in the integrity of aquatic ecosystems, so long-term monitoring of populations that inhabit them is crucial. Counting micronucleated erythrocytes (MN) and erythrocytic ...
Arid and semiarid rangeland responses to non-stationary temporal dynamics of environmental drivers
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
Temporal ecology is a growing research field aimed at understanding how temporal dynamics structure ecological systems in a changing environment. Ecosystems are exposed to accelerating environmental changes —mainly driven ...
Usefulness of a freshwater macrophyte (Potamogeton pusillus) for an environmental risk assessment in a multi-source contaminated basin.
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-05)
Chemical analysis of pollutants in environmental matrices cannot always offer powerful evidence on their impact and toxicity on the aquatic biota. This paper reports the ability of Potamogeton pusillus to highlight in an ...
Environmental enrichment during adolescence heightens ethanol intake in female, but not male, adolescent rats that are selectively bred for high and low ethanol intake during adolescence
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-09)
Background: Discriminating between adolescents who will eventually have ethanol use problems from those who do not is important. Environmental enrichment is a promising approach to reduce drug-related problems, but its ...
Optimal design of a carbon dioxide separation process with market uncertainty and waste reduction
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-06)
The aim of this work is to optimize the conceptual design of an amine-based carbon dioxide (CO2) separation process for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). A systematic approach is applied to predict the economic profitability ...
The intertidal benthic community of SW Atlantic as an environmental indicator of 50 years of human-mediated changes
(Taylor & Francis As, 2019-10)
The benthic communities dominated by the mussel Brachidontes rodriguezii (d’ Orbigny, 1846) are distributed in most of the rocky intertidal shores of temperate coastal areas of the SW Atlantic. The objective of this study ...
Industries and environmental impact assessment: Analysis of the screening process in ArgentinaIndustrias y evaluación de impacto ambiental: Análisis del proceso de revisión inicial en Argentina
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Centro Ciencias de la Atmósfera, 2020-02)
The approach of “pollute first, then clean up”, has been understood to be hard both technologically and economically. Therefore, the necessity of adopting another strategy, which is anticipate-and-prevent, has risen and ...
4-E (environmental, economic, energetic and exergetic) analysis of slow pyrolysis of lignocellulosic waste
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-12)
The bio-waste slow pyrolysis process is assessed by four indicators to determine its energetic, exergetic, economic and environmental performance. The influence of the pyrolysis temperature (300–800 °C) on these parameters, ...
