THE SUBSTITUTE AND THE EXCUSE: Growing Sustainability, Growing Sugarcane in São Paulo, Brazil

Cultural Anthropology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 439-466, November 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Amid climate change and produced unevenness in geopolitical development, the question of how sustainability and growth might be brought together is a concern for many scientists of renewable energy in the Global South. This article explores answers offered by scientists in São Paulo, Brazil, who make renewable fuels and materials from ...

Upper thermal tolerances and vulnerability to global warming in a Brazilian Caatinga fish Astyanax bimaculatus (Linnaeus, 1758) population

Austral Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 1157-1161, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Global warming is predicted to increase both average temperatures and the frequency and duration of heat waves. Tropical ectotherms, particularly those living in warm environments are more prone to receive heat impacts. Then, it is crucial to identify those populations already exposed to high temperatures that may be at risk of decimation by ...

Composite Resin Preheating Techniques for Cementation of Indirect Restorations

International Journal of Biomaterials, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Purpose. Resin‐based materials have been preheated by using different techniques and commercial devices. However, a consensus on the clinical protocol for cementing with preheated composite resins is lacking. The aim of this scoping review was to identify the different methods used for heating composite resins as used for cementing indirect adhesive ...

Warming of aquatic ecosystems disrupts aquatic–terrestrial linkages in the tropics

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 90, Issue 7, Page 1623-1634, July 2021., 2021
Using tank‐bromeliads, the authors experimentally investigated for the first time how aquatic–terrestrial linkages are affected by warming in the tropics. In contrast to temperate regions, warming is predicted to cause strong declines in tropical aquatic insect emergence into terrestrial ecosystems, while variably affecting terrestrial detritus ...

Canalized to heat, plastic to cold: adaptive coordination of leaf and seed strategies in populations spanning an elevational gradient. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary In tropical mountains, surviving temperature extremes demands finely tuned strategies. We investigated how populations of the bromeliad Pitcairnia flammea across a 2200 m elevational gradient balance genetic canalization and plasticity, and whether thermal strategies are coordinated between seeds and leaves.

Redução de aminoácidos em polpas de bacuri (Platonia insignis Mart), cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum Willd ex-Spreng Schum) e murici (Byrsonima crassifolia L.) processado (aquecido e alcalinizado) Amino acids reduction in processed (heated and alkalinized) pulps of bacuri (Platonia insignis Mart), cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum Willd ex-Spreng Schum) and murici (Byrsonima crassifolia L.)

Acta Amazonica, 2010
A literatura científica é pobre a respeito de frutas da Amazônia, como o murici, e suas características químicas devem ser estudadas. Por isso, esta pesquisa teve por proposta determinar o perfil aminoacídico das polpas de bacuri, cupuaçu e murici sob ...

Effect of post-activation potentiation in Athletics: a systematic review

Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2017
Post-activation potentiation is a physiological phenomenon reported to increase muscle performance during high-intensity exercise. To induce post-activation potentiation, maximal strength or power short-duration activities are performed minutes prior the

The State Itself as a Vulnerable Subject? Existential Resilience under International Law

The Modern Law Review, Volume 89, Issue 4, Page 531-561, July 2026.
This paper proposes a new framework for analysis of the law governing State continuity, with particular reference to Small Island Developing States (SIDS) threatened with legal extinction as a result of rising sea‐levels. Prevailing wisdom suggests that if States were to lose their inhabitable land or permanently resident populations, their status ...

Microclimate refugia shape microclimatic niches and predict individual variability in post‐breeding migration in a partially migratory species

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2527-2541, December 2025.
The niche is characterized along a gradient of temperature and microclimate refugia. Individuals in breeding areas with low microclimate refugia availability are more likely to cover larger distances to post‐breeding areas, increasing exposure to risks.
