Time series tendencies are an important tool for different sectors such as the scientific community, industries and environmental protection agencies who can evaluate the variability of a specific parameter in time, what is very important piece of information for establishing corrective and preventive actions. This work presents a time series model of main physical, chemical and biological parameters of the Water Quality Index (WQI) determined for different selected points of a hydrographical basin form May/2006 to Aug/2010. The statistical model Arima enabled a better understanding of the physical, chemical and biological processes that most clearly influences WQI. The Arima model allowed the assessment of the trend of several parameters used in the calculation of the WQI, showing that dissolved oxygen, turbidity, total nitrogen, and fecal E. coli were highly correlated and are the parameters that caused the index changes over time.

Mulberry (Morus nigra L.) is a fruit with a great potential for technological uses, which could be employed to manufacture of syrups, ice cream, candies, yoghurts, beverages, jam, etc. Only the leaf from mulberry trees is commercially used for silkworm feeding. This tree is cultivated on many agricultural environments such as small rural proprieties and settlements. Small farmers waste a great amount of their production for not knowing about mulberry technology. Thus, the objective of this work was to access extraction yield and physical-chemical properties of mulberry whole juice from ripe, green and a mixture of both by using press and depulper. Statistical analysis of results was carried by media and standard deviation calculations. 173 kg of mulberry were picked being 49.31% ripe and 50.68% green. Press delivered greater extraction yield of whole juice (80.50% to 81.60%) when compared to press (71.43% to 77.50%). Whole juice obtained from both equipments has shown the following values: soluble solids 7.45% - 12.11%, titrable acidity 0.45 – 1.23%, ratio 6.03 – 26.84, pH 3.69 – 4.35, total reducing sugar 4.05% – 9.96%, reducing sugar 3.95% - 9.15%, sucrose 0.00% - 0.04%, turbidity 221.25 NTU - >4,000 NTU. Whole juices obtained from both equipments has shown similar physical-chemical characteristics except turbidity. The authors concluded that press was the best extraction equipment due to its greater yield and whole juice quality regarding turbidity

This study used a multi-analytical approach based on traditional microbiological methods for cultivation and isolation of heterotrophic bacteria in the laboratory associated with the molecular identification of the isolates and physicochemical analysis of environmental samples. The model chosen for data integration was supported by knowledge from computational neuroscience, and composed by three modules: (i) microbiological parameters, contemplating taxonomic data obtained from the partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene from 80 colonies of heterotrophic bacteria isolated by plating method in PCA media. For bacterial colonies isolation were used water samples from Atibaia and Jaguarí rivers collected at the site of water captation for use in effluent treatment, upstream from the entrance of treated effluent from the Paulínia refinery (REPLAN/Petrobras) located in the Paulínia-SP municipality, from the output of the biological treatment plant with stabilization pond and from the raw refinery wastewater; (ii) chemical parameters, ending measures of dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chloride, acidity CaCO3, alkalinity, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, dissolved ions, sulfides, oils and greases; and (iii) physical parameters, comprising the pH determination, conductivity, temperature, transparency, settleable solids, suspended and soluble solids, volatile material, remaining fixing material (RFM), apparent color and turbidity. The results revealed interesting theoretical relationships involving two families of bacteria (Carnobacteriaceae and Aeromonadaceae). Carnobacteriaceae revealed positive theoretical relationships with COD, BOD, nitrate, chloride, temperature, conductivity and apparent color and negative theoretical relationships with the OD. Positive theoretical relationships were shown between Aeromonadaceae and OD and nitrate, while this bacterial family showed negative theoretical...

A distribuição e a abundância das macrófitas aquáticas são determinadas por diversos fatores que limitam a ocorrência e o crescimento destes vegetais. Vários estudos sobre ecologia de macrófitas aquáticas têm sido realizados na bacia hidrográfica do Rio Itanhaém devido à grande abundância e riqueza de espécies de macrófitas aquáticas de água doce e salobra com diferentes formas de vida nos trechos de rios localizados na planície costeira, A macrófita aquática alvo deste estudo é a Limnobium laevigatum (Humb. & Bonpl. Ex Willd.) Heine que pode crescer enraizada nas margens dos rios ou flutuantes livres em locais com maior profundidade.Os objetivos deste trabalho são: (a) gerar um mapa de distribuição de L. laevigatum na planície costeira da bacia do rio Itanhaém; (b) verificar a existência de diferenças na abundância de L. laevigatum nos diferentes bancos desta espécie; (c) identificar quais são as variáveis abióticas responsáveis pela distribuição e a abundância de L. laevigatum na planície costeira. Para gerar o mapa de distribuição os principais rios da planície costeira foram percorridos em fevereiro de 2013 e em abril de 2015 e os locais de ocorrência foram georreferenciados. Nos locais de ocorrência foram coletadas amostras do vegetal para determinação da biomassa e teores de nitrogênio e fósforo na biomassa. Além disso foram feitas medidas de temperatura, pH, condutividade elétrica, oxigênio dissolvido e turbidez e coletas de água e sedimento para a determinação de nitrogênio e fósforo totais. Aos valores de biomassa foi aplicada uma Análise de Variância para verificar a existência de diferenças significativas entre os locais de ocorrência. Aos valores das variáveis abióticas foi aplicada uma Análise de Componentes Principais e aos dados bióticos uma Análise de Componentes Principais. Os resultados obtidos mostraram maior quantidade de locais de ocorrência em 2015 (10) em...
