The seasonality of forage production is one of the main challenges in semi-arid regions, where environmental conditions limit agricultural productivity. One promising option is the use of elephant grass ‘BRS Capiaçu’, together with deficit irrigation. This study evaluated the impact of different irrigation depths with brackish water (50%, 75%, 100% and 125% of the reference evapotranspiration – ET 0 ) on the productive, physio...
Monitoring the health of cattle herds is essential for establishing prophylactic measures and reducing their impact on the production chain, especially in regions where beef cattle form the economic base. This study aimed to determine the serological profile of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), leptospirosis, toxoplasmosis, and neosporosis in beef cattle slaughtered in a federally inspected...
The assessment of the social impacts of disasters is significant to the decision-making process in public policies for disaster risk reduction. For this reason, the present work proposes to join the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) and Social Life Cycle Assessment (sLCA) methodologies to obtain the most important aspects that the consequences of landslide disasters have on a population to permit a global quantitative measurement...
The bending stiffness of flexible pipes is highly dependent on curvature, driven by the interaction between their structural layers—a behavior often misrepresented by traditional numerical models. To overcome this limitation, a finite-difference-based model was developed, integrating previously proposed formulations for monotonic bending and axisymmetric responses into a return-mapping algorithm to capture hysteretic behavior...
Under normal conditions, the austral autumn (March–April–May [MAM]) season represents the onset, peak or end of the rainy season, depending on the Amazon sector. In this study, the relative influences of the equatorial Pacific (EqP) and tropical Atlantic (TA) on precipitation anomalies over northern South America were revisited, focusing on the Amazon Basin and the MAM season. We systematically analysed the combined and isolat...
