Urban floods are among Brazil’s most pressing climate-related risks, revealing limitations in conventional drainage systems and fragmented governance structures. This study provides a national diagnostic of how Water-related Ecosystem Services (WES) are addressed in the context of urban flood-risk ada...
Abstract: The moxidectin residue in the serum of meat lambs produced on pastures and subjected to different programs of parasitic control was investigated. The experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Production and Research for Sheep and Goats (LAPOC), Federal University of Paraná...
Abstract: Groundwater in North America is contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at more than 9500 locations. A major source of this contamination is aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), widely used for fire suppression at military facilities and airfields. Many of the...
Abstract: The rapid global expansion of aquaculture demands innovative strategies to enhance productivity while safeguarding fish health under intensive rearing conditions. This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with an alcoholic extract of Artemisia annua (ae-Aa) on growth per...
Abstract: Paddy rice cultivation is an important anthropogenic source of atmospheric methane (CH4). Quantifying CH4 emissions under specific crop conditions is essential to improve the accuracy of global greenhouse gas estimates. Computer modeling simulation may contribute to a better understanding&#x...
Abstract: Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn., commonly known as goosegrass, is one of the most troublesome weed species worldwide. In Brazil, the increasing number of herbicide-resistance cases, particularly to glyphosate, has made goosegrass the most agronomically significant weed species in the count...
Abstract: Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) have been increasingly detected in human tissues, including the placenta and, more recently, the brain. Their capacity to cross biological barriers such as the placenta and the blood–brain barrier raises significant concern for sexually dimorphic neurodeve...
Abstract: The use of plant growth-promoting microorganisms is a promising alternative to improve Brachiaria performance. The potential of a Bacillus aryabhattai (strain CMAA 1363) inoculant, applied via seed treatment, to promote Brachiaria brizantha growth was evaluated, comparing it to commercial&#x...
Resumo: A intensificação da piscicultura no Brasil amplia os desafios sanitários, exigindo alternativas seguras para o consumidor e o ambiente. Nesse contexto, bioinsumos à base de compostos bioativos de plantas vêm sendo estudados por seu potencial imunoestimulante. O extrato de Artemisia a...
Resumo: O transporte intensifica o estresse em peixes cultivados, comprometendo homeostase. Antibióticos são utilizados, mas apresentam riscos relacionados à resistência bacteriana e resíduos. Extratos vegetais, como Artemisia annua, despontam como alternativas promissoras para mitigar tais efeitos. O presente&...
