Precision Restoration to Minimize Soil Loss in a Watershed in the Atlantic Forest Domain

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Turvo River Watershed, located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais and part of the Doce River Basin, faces serious problems of erosion and soil degradation, which compromise and reduce the quality of local water resources. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement environmental recovery strategies that prioritize the ...

Invariant imbedding and Cauchy system of scattering function in searchlight problem in rugged terrain

, 1999
In the present paper, allowing for such a horizontal inhomogeneous dependence due to the diffuse reflection of radiation in rugged terrain, we compute the Riccati type of the three-dimensional nonlinear integrodifferential equation for the scattering ...

Dynamic Wind Effect on Fireline Intensity in Rugged Terrain

, 2023
Although mountain areas account for approximately one fifth of the terrestrial surface, there has been less research focused on fire in these areas compared to lowlands. Mountain fires have distinct behavior due to dynamic winds interacting with the terrain, which can influence the fireline intensity and propagation. For the sake of fire safety of fire

The Role of Obesity in the Association Between Alcohol Consumption and HDL‐c Levels: Baependi Heart Study

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of global mortality, with dyslipidemia playing a central role in their pathogenesis. The influence of alcohol consumption on lipid profiles, particularly high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐c), in relation to obesity status remains insufficiently explored.
