The water transparency is an important parameter to water quality monitoring. To quantify the water transparency the attenuation coefficient, k(d), of the photosynthetically active radiation - PAR, k(d)(PAR), the euphotic ...

The lagoon of Venice has always been affected by the regional geomorphological evolution, anthropogenic stressors and global changes. Different morphological settings and variable biogeophysical conditions characterize ...

We explored the relationships between Secchi disc depth and the abundance of fish species in very shallow, hypertrophic, turbid waters of Pampa Plain lakes, Argentine. We tested whether the abundance of any of the species ...

The lagoon of Venice has always been affected by the regional geomorphological evolution, anthropogenic stressors and global changes. Differentmorphological settings and variable biogeophysical conditions characterize this ...

The water quality monitoring is generally done from in situ sampling. However, the financial operational cost is high, beyond the difficult sampling in different sectors of the hydric body. As a possible solution for this ...

This paper describes the production of transparent hydrophobic polymeric films made of poly(vinyl chloride) and paraffin wax. A liquid polymeric solution was prepared and spray-deposited on silica glass and nonwoven fabric ...

As of October 8th, 2020, the number of confirmed cases and deaths in Brazil due to COVID-19 hit 5,002,357 and 148,304, respectively, making the country one of the most affected by the pandemic. The State of São Paulo (SSP) ...

1.The alternative state theory claims that shallow lakes may have either clear water, and be dominated by submerged macrophytes, or turbid water and be dominated by phytoplankton. Most evidence for this theory comes from ...

In this study, attenuation of direct normal solar irradiance (DNI) in Botucatu / São Paulo, an area under the influence of local and adjacent agricultural burning, is expressed using the Linke's turbidity factor (TL) in ...
