COVID19 and rhinology/facial plastics
This review summarizes the challenges and adaptations that have taken place in the field of
Rhinology and Facial plastics in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the
prolonged exposure and manipulation ...
Phenotypic plasticity in clutch size regulation among populations of a potential invasive fruit fly from environments that vary in host heterogeneity and isolation
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-05)
Phenotypic plasticity is thought to evolve in response to environmental unpredictability and can shield genotypes from selection. However, selection can also act on plastic traits. Egg-laying behaviour, including clutch ...
Song plasticity over time and vocal learning in clay-colored thrushes
(2015)
Songbirds have been traditionally classified into close-ended or open-ended learning species according to the length of the sensitive period during which birds are able to memorize new vocalizations. Closed-ended learners ...
Concentration and composition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in plastic pellets: Implications for small-scale diagnostic and environmental monitoring
(London, 2013-11-15)
Plastic pellets may serve as a carrier of toxic contaminants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Considering that beach morphodynamics and pellet distribution varied along the shore, and that contaminant ...
First record of plastic ingestion by an important commercial native fish (Prochilodus lineatus) in the middle Tiete River basin, Southeast Brazil
(Revista Biota Neotropica, 2020-01-01)
This is the first study to report the plastic ingestion by Prochilodus lineatus in Brazilian fluvial ecosystems. We examined 32 individuals collected in two contrasting lotic environments: the highly polluted Tiete River ...
Factors driving the abundance and distribution of microplastics on sandy beaches in a Southwest Atlantic seaside resort
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
Microplastics are currently considered widespread marine pollutants, accumulating in sediments and shorelines around the world. Spatial distribution of microplastics in marine sediments is consequence of a combination of ...
Recycled Aggregates Based on Plastic Waste from WEEE
(Nova Science Publishers, 2021)
Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), such as small/big home appliances, TVs, computers and smartphones, has turnedinto a significant and growing pollution issue. WEEE is a complex mixture of materials and ...
Comparative for obtaining the optimum dosage of the soil-cement in clays of high and low plasticity
(Journal of Physics: Conference SeriesLondres, Reino Unido, 2019-11-29)
Dosage is a technique to modify and improve the conditions of the soil-cement that comply with the conditions of the "Instituto Nacional de Vías" standard and in the same way, is economic to be implemented in different ...
