Aquatic systems are complex systems due to the environmental pressures that lead to water quality parameter changes, and consequently, variations in optically active compounds (OAC). In cascading reservoir systems, such ...

The optical properties of the water can give comprehensive information about the in-water constituents which is directly related to concentration, size and composition, all essential for the development of bio-optical ...

The present study aims to analyze the effects of strict budgetary control on psychological empowerment and engagement at work, from the perspective of public managers with budgetary responsibility in Brazilian Federal ...

We investigated the peculiar bio-optical characteristics of the Mediterranean Sea focusing on the spectral diffuse attenuation coefficient [Kd (λ)] and its relationship with chlorophyll a concentration (Chl a), complemented ...

The measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence in remote way represents a tool that is becoming increasingly important in relation to the diagnosis of plant health and carbon budget on the planet. However, the detection of ...

The radiative constraints on the partitioning of the surface energy budget and, hence, on the strength of the hydrological cycle are analyzed in an idealized one-dimensional radiative–convective equilibrium model formulated ...

Marine microorganisms often reach high swimming speeds, either to take advantage ofevanescent nutrient patches or to beat Brownian forces. Since this implies that a sizable part oftheir energetic budget must be allocated ...
