ESTUDO DAS VARIAÇÕES DE REGIMES FLUIDODINÂMICOS EM MODELOS DE BALANÇO DE MASSA SOBRE O DESTINO DE MICROPLÁSTICOS EM CORPOS DE ÁGUA

This Brazilian Portuguese study examines fluid dynamic regime variations in flow models related to industrial processes, analyzing how changes in flow parameters affect system behavior. The research contributes to process engineering optimization in a manufacturing context.

Bioaccumulation of metals and genotoxic effects in females of Colomesus asellus collected in an Amazon River estuary, Amapá, Brazil

Researchers examined metal bioaccumulation and genotoxic effects in female Colomesus asellus (Amazonian Puffer) from an Amazon River estuary near urban centers in Amapá, Brazil, finding tissue metal concentrations decreasing in the order Fe > Zn > Cu > Mn > Hg > Pb > Ni > Cd > Cr, with metal accumulation correlating with nuclear alterations in erythrocytes.
