Uso do solo e Dinâmica dos Nutrientes nas Águas do Reservatório da Hidrelétrica de Manso no Estado de Mato Grosso, Brasil Central by Jeater Waldemar Maciel Correa Santos, Simoni Maria Loverde Oliveira, William Pietro de Souza

“…As a result it was found that in only 7 months the water lamina of reservoir had already covered more than 60% of the previewed area for filling leaving submerged almost the all original vegetation existing in the area, it was 62%covered with forests and savannas and 19% of grasses for grazing cattle. The decomposition of this organic biomass flooded has provided nutrients to the water, and has influenced in the time-spatial variation of concentrations of total nitrogen (NT) and total phosphorus (PT), especially during filling phase of the reservoir, where its contribution may have been more important than that resulting from the export of nitrogen and phosphorus for their sub-basins of contribution. …”

Machine learning to identify environmental drivers of phytoplankton blooms in the Southern Baltic Sea by Maximilian Berthold, Pascal Nieters, Rahel Vortmeyer-Kley

“…We found evidence of hydrodynamical export of phytoplankton, natural mortality or external grazing not explicitly measured in the data. This data-driven workflow allows new insight into driver-differences in region specific blooming dynamics.…”

INONDATIONS TORRENTIELLES EN ZONES MONTAGNEUSES AFFÉRENTES AU GOLFE DU MEXIQUE by JEAN-NOËL SALOMON

“…After a time, erosion processes become more numerous with disastrous soil loss, particularly in mountainous areas (slopes), moreover so, if used for farming or grazing. Eventually, after a longer lapse of time, the environment grew unfriendly (Haiti’s example is unfortunately convincing), so that people began migrating, even going abroad (diasporas). …”

Testing the Flux Rope Paradigm for Coronal Mass Ejections Using a Three-spacecraft Encounter Event by Brian E. Wood, Phillip Hess

“…With this event, we test whether field tracings observed by a spacecraft passing near the central axis of a CME MFR (STEREO-A) can be used to successfully predict the field behavior seen by a spacecraft 17 ^∘ away (SolO), which has a more grazing encounter with the CME. We find that the MFR model does have significant success in simultaneously reproducing the field signs and rotations seen at STEREO-A, Wind, and SolO. …”

Investigation of failure mechanism in tensile loading of Cu-AISI4140 steel joints fabricated by spark plasma welding by Mehdi Naderi, Mohammad Reza Toroghinejad, Ahmad Kermanpur

“…Microstructural analyses of the joints were performed using scanning electron microscopy, while the fracture surfaces of the samples after tensile testing were examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction was employed to identify phases at the joint interface on fracture surface of the joints. …”
