Assessment of large-scale patterns of hydrological alteration caused by dams
(Journal of Hydrology, 2020)
Discharge pulses of hydroelectric dams and their effects in the downstream limnological conditions: A case study in a large tropical river (SE Brazil)
(2009-12-01)
To address daily fluctuations in electricity demands, the quantities of water passing through the turbines of hydropower plants can vary significantly (up to fourfold) during a 24-h cycle. This study evaluates the effects ...

Accounting for unknown foster dams in the genetic evaluation of embryo transfer progeny
(Wiley, 2015-02)
Animals born by embryo transfer (ET) are usually not included in the genetic evaluation of beef cattle for preweaning growth if the recipient dam is unknown. This is primarily to avoid potential bias in the estimation of ...
Marked compositional changes in harvestmen assemblages in Amazonian forest islands induced by a mega dam
(Veterinary and Human Toxicology, 2020-09)
Mega hydroelectric dams have become one of the main drivers of habitat loss in tropical forests, converting large tracts of pristine forests into isolated forest islands. Understanding how biodiversity cope with landscape ...

Downstream effects of hydropower production on aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages in two rivers in Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2014)
Despite the fact that little is known about the consequences of hydropower production in tropical areas, many large dams (>15m high) are currently under construction or consideration in the tropics. We researched the effects ...
Um estudo das condições de percolação e estabilidade em barragens de terra mediante métodos geofísicos: caso do dique de Sant Llorenç de Montgai - Espanha
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBRUFRNPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Geodinâmica e GeofísicaGeodinâmica; Geofísica, 2013-06-17)
The monitoring of Earth dam makes use of visual inspection and instrumentation to identify and characterize the deterioration that compromises the security of earth dams and associated structures. The visual inspection is ...
