The need to evaluate the effect of management practices has generated interest in defining Soil Quality Indicators (SQI) that involve the management result and its effect on crop yield. In terms of water in the soil, the ...

Modern long distance ore pipeline systems are subject to strong costs, both from the economic and environmental standpoints. The task of assessing the relative importance of energy and water consumption without a detailed ...

The transport of fluid and ions in concrete mixtures is central to many aspects of concrete deterioration. As a result, transport properties are frequently measured as an indication of the durability that a concrete mixture ...

Many plasma membrane channels form oligomeric assemblies, and heterooligomerization has been described as a distinctive feature of some protein families. In the particular case of plant plasma membrane aquaporins (PIPs), ...

This paper presents the results of numerical simulations of groundwater circulation and solute transport at the Salar de Atacama through use of a numerical model to solve the two-dimensional problem of flow in an aquifer ...

Landscape features of volcanic origin influence the transport of water and solutes across high-elevation environments. Nevertheless, knowledge regarding how these features affect subsurface hydrological behavior at ...

This study evaluated stress indicators of juvenile piau (Leporinus friderici) during and after a 4-hour transportation in order to establish an appropriate transportation protocol for this type of fish. Fish were transported ...
