Real‐Time Fractional Control of an Electrohydraulic System Using Low‐Cost Technology

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in control methods for electrohydraulic systems (EHS) improve performance by addressing nonlinearities and unknown parameters, although most studies are limited to numerical simulations. Furthermore, research with experimental validation often relies on high‐performance computing equipment, specialized data acquisition cards, and ...

Activity of rhizobacteria antagonistic to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. passiflorae in soils cultivated with monocotyledonous plants

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2017
In spite of the importance of passion fruit cultivation in Brazil, this activity has been forced to be itinerant, due to the occurrence of diseases in producing regions, in particular fusariosis.

Diflubenzuron Caused Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Ca2+ Homeostasis Disruption, and Intrinsic Apoptosis in Trophoblastic Cells

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diflubenzuron is used as an insect growth inhibitor, and its potential risk to human health was raised owing to the possibility of environmental residues and human exposure. This study aimed to investigate the toxic mechanism of diflubenzuron on trophoblastic cells such as HTR8/SVneo and JEG‐3 cells. We investigated mitochondrial function, Ca2+

Assessment of Oxidative Stress, Vitellogenin, and Human Health Risks Derived From Nile Tilapia Exposed to Metals and Metalloids in Southeastern Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban coastal lagoons are highly vulnerable ecosystems increasingly affected by metal contamination, as well as multiple anthropogenic stressors. This study evaluated ecotoxicological and human health risks associated with chronic metal exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from an anthropogenically impacted lagoon in southeastern ...

Trace Element Contamination in Top Predatory Elasmobranchs From the Southern Black Sea: Implications for Ecosystem Health and Risk Assessment

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution resulting from the rapid increase in human population, urbanization, intensive use of chemicals in agriculture, and industrial development has reached a level that threatens natural life today. Trace elements are one of the most important factors causing significant levels of pollution in the environment and are added ...

Ecotoxicological Assessment of Mercury in Fish From a Gold‐Mining‐Impacted Amazonian River: Biomonitoring and Human Health Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Peixoto de Azevedo River, located in northern Mato Grosso, southern Brazilian Amazon, has a long history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM). This study evaluated total mercury (THg) concentrations in fish tissues to assess biomagnification and potential risks.

Assessment of Metal Contamination and Human Health Risk in the Buffalo River Estuary, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal contamination in estuarine environments poses environmental and public health concerns, particularly where surface waters support domestic and subsistence uses. This study assessed the seasonal distribution, controlling mechanisms, and non‐carcinogenic health risks of selected metals (Mg, Al, Ba, Fe, Mn, and Zn) in the Buffalo River ...

Bioaccessibility of Metal(loid)s From Anthropogenic Contamination in Dry Riverbed Sediments in the Cartagena–La Unión Mining District (Murcia, SE Spain): Implications for Human Health Risk Assessment

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed the contamination levels, bioaccessibility, and potential health risks of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in sediments from three dry riverbeds (El Beal‐EB, Las Matildes‐LM, and Ponce‐PN) impacted by historical mining activities in the Cartagena‐La Unión Mining District.

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not
