Desflorestamento e uso do fogo: impactos ambientais associados à agricultura familiar na amazônia brasileira

Na região amazônica, o sistema de corte e queima é a principal forma de preparo do solo na agricultura familiar. Desta forma, objetivou-se avaliar os impactos ambientais causados pela agricultura familiar via desflorestamento e uso do fogo na implantação de sistemas de cultivos. O estudo foi realizado na comunidade Castanhandeua, no Município de Moju, Pará. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com sete agricultores atendidos por um projeto de extensão do curso de agronomia do Instituto Federal do Pará, Campus Castanhal.

Physical containment of the main liquid fuels that circuit on roads in front of some containers

Liquid fuels like ethanol, diesel oil, and vegetable oil, are getting around more and more in tank trucks, leading the increment of fleets of trucks and their possible involvements in fuel spill accidents, whose require promptly actions in order to avoid leaks to minimize Ambiental damage to animals and human beings. The fire department, besides having legal competence it’s also the first and usually the only organ standing against this type of occurrence, with the objective of utilizing containment physical fuel resources that are efficient.

A study on the production and distribution of plant based meat alternatives

There are other sources of meat besides animals. The definition of meat is radically changing from an animal product with limited options to an innovative creation with the same composition and texture as meat. At business or industry meetings and in the scientific community, delicatessens are in the news for a number of reasons. These plant-based meat substitutes are designed to reduce the environmental impact of farmed animals and solve one of the stickiest crises in the climate battle.

Origin, domestication, taxonomy, botanical description, genetics and cytogenetics, genetc diversity and breeding of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.)

Cashew belongs to the family Anacardiaceae, the genus Anacardium and species A. occidentale. Cashew is considered native of tropical America, not-withstanding the uncertainty in defining its natural distribu-tion, due to its long association with man. It was suggested that it originated in the restinga, meaning the low vegetation found in the sandy soil along the coast of Eastern and Northeastern Brazil. Anacardiaceae is a moderately large family consisting of Ca 74 genera and 600 species.

Application of bim and augmented reality in a hydropower plant modernization

This paper presents results of case study São SimãoHydropower Plant, the development and testing of an application that applies augmented reality to display BIM information over the real infrastructure of hydropower plant existing areas. The application aims to assist users in identifying interferences between future AEC projects and current electrical, mechanical and civil infrastructure.

Origin, Distribution, Taxonomy, Botanical description, Genetic diversity and Breeding of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Family: Solanaceae, Sub-Family: Soloanoideae & Cestroideae, Tribe: Solaneae, Genera: Solanum, Species: Solanum lycopersicum L. Tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and eggplants all belong to the Solanaceae family of flowering plants. Plants in this family are also called nightshades. There are more than 3000 species of nightshades. Many of them are important to our economy. The Solanum lycopersicum / S. esculentum-complex contains seven species that are easily crossed with cultivated tomato and these have served as a source of genetic variability for the improvement of tomato varieties.
