LENGTH-WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP AND CONDITION FACTOR FOR TWELVE FISH SPECIES FROM THE IGARAPé FORTALEZA BASIN, A SMALL TRIBUTARY OF THE AMAZONAS RIVER ESTUARY

ABSTRACT Length and weight data are useful in fisheries management and standard results of fish monitoring programs.Length-weight relationship (LWR) is used for estimating the Mounting weight corresponding to a given length, and the condition factor is used to compare the body condition, fatness or health of fish populations.This study aimed to est

Signals generated by dust impacting spacecraft can be detected by electric field instruments.These signals have been simulated by numerous models.However, few models can accurately characterize the expansion of the plasma cloud generated by dust impact.The COMSOL model presented in this paper provides a way to understand the expansion properties of

This study firstly describes the epidemiology of malaria in Roraima, Amazon Basin in Brazil, in the years from 1991 to 1993: the predominance of plasmodium species, distribution of the blood slides examined, the malaria risk and seasonality; and secondly investigates whether population growth from 1962 to 1993 was associated with increasing risk of

The increasing intensity and frequency of extreme weather events resulting from climate change have led to grid outages and other negative consequences.To ensure the resilience of buildings which serve as primary shelters for occupants, resilient strategies are being developed to improve their ability to withstand these extreme events (e.g., buildi
