Evaporitos como recursos minerais [PDF]
Evaporites are sedimentary rocks commonly formed in sedimentary environments of low terrigenous input, under arid climate where the evaporation rates are high enough for the formation of brines from which the evaporitic sediments are generated. The economic potential of these rocks is enormous, and halite, the commonly consumed salt, is one of the most

Hydrophysical Database for Brazilian Soils (HYBRAS) and Pedotransfer Functions for Water Retention
Core Ideas We propose a Hydrophysical Database for Brazilian Soils (HYBRAS). Data in HYBRAS comprise 445 soil profiles, with 1075 samples of Brazilian soils. We compared the accuracy of water retention estimates based on climate‐based PTFs. In general, the Brazilian PTFs performed better than the temperate models for HYBRAS.

Confirming the impact origin of the São Miguel do Tapuio structure, northeastern Brazil
Abstract The São Miguel do Tapuio structure (SMT) is a remarkable, nearcircular feature of about 21 km diameter, centered at 5°37.6′ S, 41°23.3′ W in Piauí state, northeastern Brazil. The structure is located within the sedimentary strata of the Paleozoic–Mesozoic Parnaíba Basin and predominantly comprises sandstones of the Devonian Pimenteiras and ...

Molecular Characterization of TP53 Gene in Human Populations Exposed to Low‐Dose Ionizing Radiation
Ionizing radiation, such as that emitted by uranium, may cause mutations and consequently lead to neoplasia in human cells. The TP53 gene acts to maintain genomic integrity and constitutes an important biomarker of susceptibility. The present study investigated the main alterations observed in exons 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the TP53 gene and adjacent ...
