Enrichment diagram (ED) a graphic approach for assessing inorganic enrichment and contamination in marine sediments of Sepetiba Bay (SE Brazil)
(Bingley, 2014-11-05)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to validate and apply enrichment diagrams (EDs) to determine metal and as enrichment and contamination in the sediments of Sepetiba Bay. Design/methodology/approach – Through inducted ...
Tracking pollutants in selected Brazilian drainages from araxá city
(2020-01-01)
Sediments geochemical data from Araxá city, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, have provided new insights on the pollutants inputs in different drainage systems of Araxá city, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The sediments profiles ...
Heavy metal concentrations in water and sediments from affluents and effluents of mediterranean chilean reservoirs
(Sociedad Chilena Química, 2016)
RIVER flows have constant interaction between water and bed sediments; for this reason knowledge of the characteristics of the sediments is fundamental to understand water chemistry. This study determined the concentrations ...
Environmental enrichment blocks ethanol-induced locomotor sensitization and decreases BDNF levels in the prefrontal cortex in mice
(WILEY-BLACKWELLHOBOKEN, 2012)
The use of addictive drugs can lead to long-term neuroplastic changes in the brain, including behavioral sensitization, a phenomenon related to addiction. Environmental enrichment (EE) is a strategy used to study the effect ...
Body mass predicts isotope enrichment in herbivorous mammals
(Royal Society Publishing, 2018)
Carbon isotopic signatures recorded in vertebrate tissues derive from ingested food and thus reflect ecologies and ecosystems. For almost two decades, most carbon isotope-based ecological interpretations of extant and ...
Enrichment factors of elements in lichens from the Machu Picchu Antarctic Scientific Station (2013)
(Instituto Peruano de Energía NuclearPE, 2013-11-20)
To evaluate properly the extent of accumulation and movement of toxic substances in the environment there must be reliable of their present and past concentrations. The purpose of one project at the IPEN Antarctic Program ...
A detailed analysis of open-field habituation and behavioral and neurochemical antidepressant-like effects in postweaning enriched rats
(2009-01-30)
Our previous work has shown that male Sprague–Dawley rats reared in social isolation, standard housing and environmental enrichment differ in their spontaneous open-field activity and in some neurobehavioral depressive-like ...
Interference of cage fish farm on diet, condition factor and numeric abundance on wild fish in a Neotropical reservoir
(2013-11-15)
Historically, the ichthyofauna of large Brazilian rivers has been subject to anthropogenic interference, such as impoundments. Currently, cage fish farming systems are a new source of impact on aquatic ecosystems. The ...
An environmental magnetism approach to assess impacts of land-derived sediment disturbances on coral reef ecosystems (Cartagena, Colombia)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-06)
We used environmental magnetism methods to study recently deposited marine sediments from the estuarine ecosystems on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. Cartagena region has undergone an increasing sediment load during the ...
