THE VALO GRANDE CHANNEL IN THE CANANÉIA-IGUAPE ESTUARY-LAGOON COMPLEX (SP, BRAZIL): ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY, ECOLOGY, AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES [PDF]
Abstract The channel of the Valo Grande (VG) in the Ribeira de Iguape River (São Paulo State, Brazil), inaugurated in 1852, is one of the largest environmental disasters in the Brazilian coast. This article presents a synthesis of the historical, ecological, geographic and sociopolitical dimensions involving the VG.

Coastline changes and sedimentation related with the opening of an artificial channel: the Valo Grande Delta, SE Brazil [PDF]
The role played by human activity in coastline changes indicates a general tendency of retreating coasts, especially deltaic environments, as a result of the recent trend of sea level rise as well as the blockage of the transfer of sediments towards the coast, especially due to the construction of dams.

Effect of Moving the Tip of the Light Curing Unit on the Irradiance Value Delivered. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the effect of differences in the distances and radial positions of the tips of Light‐Curing Units (LCU) on the irradiance values delivered. Materials and Methods Four LCUs—Valo X, Emitter A, CuringPen, and Pinkwave were tested at different distances from the tip (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 mm) and radial displacements (2 and 4 mm ...

Anthropogenic influences in a lagoonal environment: a multiproxy approach at the valo grande mouth, Cananéia-Iguape system (SE Brazil) [PDF]
The Cananéia-Iguape system, SE Brazil, consists of a complex of lagoonal channels, located in a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Biosphere Reserve. Nevertheless, important environmental changes have occurred in approximately the last 150 yrs due to the opening of an artificial channel, the Valo Grande ...

ALTERAÇÕES AMBIENTAIS NO COMPLEXO ESTUARINO-LAGUNAR DE CANANEIA-IGUAPE: A INFLUÊNCIA DO CANAL ARTIFICIAL DO “VALO GRANDE” [PDF]
As áreas litorâneas foram os primeiros setores do território brasileiro a serem ocupadas pelo Homem. Porém a preocupação com estas zonas ainda é bastante recente. O litoral sul paulista encontra-se pouco habitado, quando comparado a outros trechos do litoral do estado de São Paulo, e apresenta um dos mais importantes espaços naturais do Brasil: o ...

Fracture Resistance of Extensively Compromised Anterior Teeth Restored With Fiberglass Posts and Biomimetic Protocols: An In Vitro Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Polyethylene fiber (PF) and fiberglass (FG) posts have been recommended for intraradicular anchorage when there is a significant loss of coronal structure. However, few studies have evaluated their performance in anterior teeth combined with direct restorations as an alternative to single crowns.

Evaluation of compressive and adhesive strengths of a hybrid ceramic and 5Y-PSZ zirconia cemented with three different materials. [PDF]
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the compressive and adhesive strengths of ceramic restorations (PICN and 5Y‐PSZ zirconia) cemented with one of three types of cements: conventional glass ionomer cement (GI), resin‐modified glass ionomer cement (RM‐GI), and self‐adhesive resin cement (R).

UV-Mediated Photofunctionalization of Indirect Restorative Materials Enhances Bonding to a Resin-Based Luting Agent. [PDF]
Purpose. The potential of UV‐mediated photofunctionalization to enhance the resin‐based luting agent bonding performance to aged materials was investigated. Methods. Sixty samples of each material were prepared. Yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YZr) and Pd‐Au alloy (Pd‐Au) plates were fabricated and sandblasted.

Gas Chromatography Coupled to High Resolution Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry as a High-Throughput Tool for Characterizing Geochemical Biomarkers in Sediments. [PDF]
The performance of gas chromatography coupled to high‐resolution time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (GC‐HRTofMS) for characterizing geochemical biomarkers from sediment samples was evaluated. Two approaches to obtain the geochemical biomarkers were tested: (1) extraction with organic solvent and subsequent derivatization and (2) in‐situ derivatization ...
