Several properties of foods, most notably visual perception and color, depend on the complexity of their outer surface. The so-called glistening point method based on specular reflection of an incident light beam is a ...

A scanning laser microscope was used at its highest resolution (25 mum) to study the surface of three kinds of commercial chocolate. Data of measured surfaces were analyzed by scale-sensitive fractal analysis (SSFA) using ...

The phytoplankton assemblages studied in the coastal waters of the Inner Sea of Chiloe followed the typical evolution of a spring/autumn diatom bloom alternating with a summer dinoflagellate bloom. The seasonal blooms ...

Muitos são os instrumentos existentes para apoiar o planejamento didático-pedagógico, a estruturação, a organização, a definição de objetivos instrucionais e a escolha de instrumentos de avaliação. A Taxonomia de Bloom é ...

The study of "jellyfish blooms" provides important data toward determining the causes and consequences of these phenomena; however, the definition of "bloom" remains controversial and different concepts have been adopted ...

To investigate the relative importance of mesoscale physical events, such as upwellings and physical and chemical variables during an algae bloom of Prorocentrum minimum, 25 sampling sites were established offshore of the ...

Progressively monitoring water quality is crucial, as aquatic contaminants can pose risks to human health and other organisms. Machine learning can support the development of new effective tools for water monitoring, ...

In Antarctic coastal waters where nutrient limitations are low, viruses are expected to play a major role in the regulation of bloom events. Despite this, research in viral identification and dynamics is scarce, with limited ...

The aim of the present research was to summarize the main reasons that explain the distribution of harmful blooms of cyanobacteria in Argentina. It is a large territory with climates ranging from humid tropical to cold ...
