mpirical relationships coupled with the field measurements were used to assess water discharge and sediment load from an anthropogenically-altered drainage basin into Sepetiba Bay in southeastern Brazil. Discharge into Sepetiba Bay is modified by large-scale water diversion from the Paraíba do Sul River, which is one of the more important and impacted rivers in Brazil. The discharge into Sepetiba Bay has increa...

Reducing food waste demands improvements in refrigeration systems. Furthermore, the rise of temperatures worldwide demands more capable and efficient refrigeration equipment. One of the problems that affects refrigeration equipment is the accumulation of frost in the heat exchanger that reduces efficiency, and in extreme cases, blocks the air flow. Usually, defrosting is timed for the worst-case scenario, which...

Although significant differences in preference were observed among countries, there were global preferences for a longer dominance of melting, fatty and tender textures. The cheese flavour attribute was the best positive TDL, whereas bitter was a strong negative TDL. A cluster analysis of the 667 consumers identified three significant liking clusters, each with different most and least preferred samples. For th...
The municipality of Beja, in Alentejo (Portugal), is presented as a case in which the insufficient knowledge of the geological and geotechnical characteristics of terrains contributes to serious problems in the establishment of building platforms. In Beja three main geotechnical units can be defined: fills, residual soils from gabbro-diorite weathering and gabbro-diorite bedrock. The knowledge of location, thic...
