"Use of an Autonomous Surface Vehicle to Collect High Spatial Resolution Water Quality Data at Lake Wateree, SC."

Full textAbstract:
Freshwater resources including lakes and reservoirs are increasingly threatened by harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs). The scarcity of high spatial and temporal resolution data presents challenges for monitoring, predicting, and managing these blooms. Autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) equipped with water quality sensors represent a powerful tool to obtain high-resolution spatial data at Lake Wateree (LW), South Carolina (SC). LW is a hydroelectric reservoir commonly covered with extensive blooms of the benthic cyanobacteria Microseira (Lyngbya) wollei and Phormium sp., with the thickest mats in shallow coves. The main objective of this study was to determine the best speed and duration of loiter (i.e., pauses) required to collect accurate quantitative data on a mobile platform. We present a low-cost motorized kayak (USD) designed to run autonomously equipped with a YSI EXO2 sonde measuring depth, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, and phycocyanin. The sonde was positioned horizontally on a rigid mount at 0.5 m below the surface to efficiently reduce the effect of turbulence. The data were compared to another YSI EXO2 sonde installed on the same ASV design, maintained stationary midway along the moving ASV’s path to assess the data accuracy obtained at different speeds and loiter periods. No statistically significant differences were observed for measurements collected on the stationary and moving ASVs for all water-quality sensors at a speed of up to 2.7 m/s (6 mph). Differences observed between the moving and stationary sondes for phycocyanin and turbidity sensors were within the reported factory accuracy at speeds up to 1.8 m/s (4 mph) and outside the expected factory accuracy at higher speed (2.7 m/s), showing the effects of motion and mixing on the collected data. Dissolved oxygen was outside of the reported factory accuracy for all tests. It is recommended to loiter periodically when moving at a faster speed to obtain more accurate data, as the differences between the sondes were alleviated during the loiter period. Overall, our ASV design has the potential to be employed to obtain robust spatial data at LW when deployed at optimal operating conditions.

Abstract. The newly developed RECoverable Autonomous Sonde (RECAS) allows sampling and analysis of subglacial water while the subglacial lake remains isolated from the surface. The sonde was successfully tested in East Antarctica during the 2021–2022 field season: it reached the ice-sheet base at a depth of 200.3 m, sampled basal meltwater and measured its pressure, temperature, pH and conductivity and returned to the ice surface. The average downward penetration rate was 1.85 m h−1, and the average upward penetration rate was 2.94 m h−1. The successful test of a self-melting, recoverable probe in Antarctica marks further progress towards the clean exploration of subglacial water bodies.

Se pretende determinar la influencia de la aplicación de aguas salinas en las medidas obtenidas a partir de sondas de succión. Se ha observado la influencia de la humedad del suelo, de la conductividad eléctrica y en algunos casos de la temperatura y pH de la solución del suelo en las correlaciones obtenidas por lo que se propone utilizar ecuaciones de regresión múltiple. Estas ecuaciones reflejan el equilibrio alcanzado entre la solución del suelo y el extracto de saturación, para las distintas concentraciones de sales aportadas en el agua de riego. No se ha observado, en ningún caso, la incorporación de constituyentes de la cerámica porosa, de la sonda de succión a la solución del suelo, a pesar de haberse utilizado diferentes concentraciones de aguas salinas en el agua de riego.

The brown seaweed Sargassumsp. is well known as a source of fucoidan. Brown seaweeds found in Indonesia seas are dominated by Sargassum sp.The objectives of this research was to purify and characterize fucoidan from S. binderi Sonder. The fresh raw material was defatted by macerated in methanol:chloroform:water (4:2:1), filtered, rinsed with acetone and then air-dried in room temperature. The defatted dried seaweed was extracted with 0.01M HCl pH 4 at room temperature. Purification has been conducted using anion exchanger. The quality of fucoidan sample was determined for total sugar, functional group using FTIR, monomer content, total ash, and total sulfate in the ester form. The result shows that pure fucoidan contains fucose as the primary sugar component, and otherminor sugars (galactose, glucose, mannose and xylose). Chemical composition of crude fucoidan consisted of 74.25% fucose; 0.28% uronate acid; 10.29% sulfate and 5.5% protein. Purification using DEAE Sephadex A-25 gave 4 fraction pools yielding total sugar (%) of F1 (17.59); F2 (18.92); F3 (13.72); F4 (49.76), respectively. The components that build the fucoidan of S. binderi Sonder were estimated derived to be from fucoidan oligomers including (1,4)-L-FucS-Gal and D-(1,4)-Gal-GalS.

Full textAbstract:
Caulerpa cylindracea is an invasive seaweed in the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, we propose an alternative method to utilise the biomass of C. cylindracea to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). UV-VIS spectroscopy, FT-IR and X-ray diffraction were used in characterization steps. The results show that optimum conditions such as time, initial concentration of AgNO3 and temperature were found to be 240 min, 0.1 M AgNO3 and 85˚C, respectively. The measured particle size of the synthesized AgNPs were 22 nm. Since AgNPs were encapped by the secondary metabolites of C. cylindracea, the synthesized AgNPs showed stable solubility in aqueous conditions. The experimental data related to synthesis of AgNPs were modelled by using artificial neural network (ANN). Agitation time and rate, temperature, pH, concentration of AgNO3 and extract were chosen as input and absorbance values were chosen as output. ANN modelling study exhibited that Bayesian regularization backpropagation, scaled conjugate gradient backpropagation and Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation algorithms better modelled the experimental data compared to studied 11 backpropagation algorithms. In conclusion, biomass of invasive seaweeds can be used to synthesize AgNPs for commercial use and this will bring a new perspective to utilisation of the biomass of invasive seaweeds. A possible economical value may create a stress on the spread of these alien species in the Mediterranean Sea.

Soybean is one of the essential ingredients when formulating a tube feeding formula. In this study, we initially focused on determining which enzyme is suitable for hydrolyzing soy and comparing the soy protein enzymatic hydrolysis of three different enzymes at the same enzyme content: Flavourzyme, Protamex, and Alcalase. The result showed that Flavourzyme attained the highest soluble protein recovery efficiency (SPRE). Secondly, the study determined the effect of thermal treatment conditions such as thermal treatment duration, and then it showed that when combining the thermal treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, the yield reached (61.44 ± 0.22)%, which was much higher than only using enzymatic hydrolysis (52.57 ± 0.27)%. Next, optimizing the enzymatic hydrolysis (combining thermal treatment) using Flavourzyme and Alcalase, Flavourzyme achieved (62.47 ± 0.12)%, while Alcalase attained (41.32 ± 0.13)%. The soy hydrolyzate using Flavourzyme achieved an average molecular size of 3.19 kDa at the following optimizing conditions: enzyme concentration, 16.09 U·g−1; pH, 7.02; temperature, 45.8 °C; and beans/water ratio, 1:3. In contrast, when using Alcalase, the soy hydrolyzate achieved an average molecular size of 1.52 kDa at the following optimizing conditions: enzyme concentration, 28.01 U·g−1; pH, 7.2; temperature, 56.5 °C; beans/water ratio, 1:4.6. Soy protein hydrolyzate of suitable viscosity and particle size flow through the inhaler with branched-chain amino acids achieved a BCAA (Branched Amino Acid) ratio of 2:1:1 for Alcalase and 4:1:1 for Flavourzyme. Soybean hydrolyzate using both enzymes attained a high SPRE and was suitable for the digestive ability of patients recovering from surgery. Soy protein is divided into amino acids, di- and tri-amino acids, and peptides to create a soluble protein source that helps feed patients with a sonde tube easily. In addition, the molecular weight of peptides will reduce viscosity significantly when passing through a sonde tube, preventing tube congestion.

Certains composés dissous ne sont pas stables une fois prélevés hors de leur milieu. Pour éviter que l'information ne se perde entre le prélèvement et l'analyse, il est nécessaire d'effectuer cette dernière in situ. La solution que nous présentons, consiste à développer une réaction colorimétrique en profondeur; la cellule photométrique est immergée et reliée à un spectrophotomètre en surface, par 2 fibres optiques (fig. 1a, b, c). Cependant, lors d'un essai préliminaire, nous avons observé que, dans le circuit de mélange de la sonde, les proportions entre réactif et échantillon ne sont pas constantes. Ces variations de débits sont corrigées par des mesures à deux longueurs d'onde (λ1 et λ2)* et par l'adjonction d'un colorant auxiliaire ne perturbant pas la réaction calorimétrique. L'étalonnage se fait directement sur la cellule photométrique : dans un diagramme Absorbance à λ1 = f (Absorbance à λ2) (fig. 2), on place une droite d'étalonnage et des points particuliers. Les règles de mélange sont vérifiées indépendamment de toute réaction chimique avec différentes solutions d'hélianthine dans un tampon à pH 7 et du rouge de chlorophénol à la place du réactif (fig. 4 et 5). En outre nous utilisons le rouge de chlorophénol, jaune sous forme acide, comme colorant auxiliaire pour le dosage du fer total dans un premier essai in situ (lac d'Aydat, Puy de Dôme, France). Les résultats sont comparés à ceux obtenus par prélèvements et analyses au laboratoire (fig. 6). L'accord est satisfaisant. L'incorporation au système présenté, d'une pompe osmotique devrait permettre, avec cet appareillage simple, des mesures pendant plusieurs mois sans intervention.

A new lectin from the marine red alga Gracilaria canaliculata (GCL) was isolated by a combination of aqueous ethanol extraction, ethanol precipitation, ion exchange and filtration chromatography. Lectin gave a single band with molecular mass of 22,000 Da in both non-reducing and reducing SDS-PAGE conditions, indicating that GCL is a monomeric protein. The hemagglutination activities of GCL were stable over a wide range of pH from 3 to 10, temperature up 60 oC and not affected by either the presence of EDTA or addition of divalent cations. Lectin GCL had high affinity for N-acetylneuraminic acid through interacting with the acetamido group at equatorial C2 position of these sugar residues, suggesting that GCL is specific for N-acetylneuraminic acid. Furthermore, GCL inhibited the growth of human and shrimp pathogenic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio alginolyticus, although it did not affect the growth of Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloace, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and V. harveyi. The red alga G. canaliculata may promise to be a source of valuable lectins for application as antibacterial agents.

Periódicamente se tomaron muestras de suelo a una profundidad de 0 a 20 cm para el análisis de pH, Ca+2, Mg+2 y Al+3 intercambiables. Adicional, se instalaron 3 sondas a profundidades de 20,40 y 60 cm para M1 y M2 y se tomó el pH directamente de la solución del suelo. El correctivo M1 compuesto con silicio y sulfatos resultó significativamente más eficaz en comparación con las otras mezclas al aumentar el pH de manera inmediata y permanente en el suelo y en la solución a las diferentes profundidades evaluadas, además de neutralizar y disminuir el aluminio intercambiable hasta 15 veces, respecto a la condición inicial. En la medida que el pH aumentó y disminuyó el aluminio, los contenidos de Ca+2 y Mg+2 intercambiable aumentaron progresivamente sin diferencia significativa entre tratamientos.

Abstract. Flocculation of riverine dissolved organic matter to the particulate form in estuaries is an important mechanism for capturing dissolved metals to newly formed organic particles, regulating the metal transport from land to sea. The process is particularly relevant for rivers draining boreal acid sulfate soils of western Finland, which are known to deliver large amounts of trace metals with detrimental environmental consequences for the recipient estuaries in the eastern Gulf of Bothnia in the northern Baltic Sea. This is the first study to investigate dissolved metal (Al, Fe, Mn, Co, and Cu) association with flocculating organic particles in the laboratory, by mixing of acidic metal-rich water from acid-sulfate-soil-impacted rivers and particle-free artificial seawater. Water samples were collected in April 2021 from the Laihianjoki and Sulvanjoki rivers in western Finland. Experiments with an in situ laser-diffraction-based particle size distribution sensor and a multiparameter water quality sonde were run to continuously monitor the development of a suspended particle pool over the salinity gradient from 0 to 6, corresponding to the salinity range observed in these estuarine systems. Flocculator experiments with discrete salinity treatments were carried out to investigate metal behaviour with the collection of flocculated material on glass fibre filters. Filtrate was analysed for coloured dissolved-organic-matter absorbance and fluorescence for the characterization of potential changes in the organic matter pool during the flocculation process. Retentate on the filter was subjected to persulfate digestion of organic particles and metal oxyhydroxides (pH < 2.3), and the digestion supernatants were analysed for metal concentrations. The laboratory experiments showed strong transfer of Al and Fe already at a salinity of 0–2 to newly formed organically dominated flocs that were generally larger than 80 µm. Very strong coupling between the decrease in humic fluorescence and the increase in organically bound Al demonstrated that Al transfer to the flocs was stronger than that of Fe. The flocs in the suspended particle pool were complemented by a smaller population of Al- and Fe-oxyhydroxide-dominated flocculi (median size of 11 µm) after pH exceeded ca. 5.5. Cobalt and Mn transfer to the particle pool was weak, although some transfer to Mn oxyhydroxides as well as Co association with the flocs took place. Up to 50 % of Cu was found to be bound to humic substances in the flocs in the river waters, and this proportion did not significantly change during mixing with seawater. The findings of this study demonstrate that salinity and pH are important independent but connected controls of the flocculation behaviour of dissolved metals from boreal acid sulfate soils and the seaward transport and environmental consequences of the metals in the marine environment.

Full textAbstract:
Coral reefs are degrading due to many synergistic stressors. Recently there have been a number of global reports of corals occupying mangrove habitats that provide a supportive environment or refugium for corals, sheltering them by reducing stressors such as oxidative light stress and low pH. This study used satellite imagery and manual ground-truthing surveys to search for mangrove-coral habitats in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and then collected basic environmental parameters (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pHNBS, turbidity) at identified sites using a multi-parameter water quality sonde. Two kinds of mangrove-coral habitats were found in both the Upper and Lower Florida Keys: (1) prop-root corals, where coral colonies were growing directly on (and around) mangrove prop roots, and (2) channel corals, where coral colonies were growing in mangrove channels under the shade of the mangrove canopy, at deeper depths and not in as close proximity to the mangroves. Coral species found growing on and directly adjacent to prop roots included Porites porites (multiple morphs, including P. divaricata and P. furcata), Siderastrea radians, and Favia fragum. Channel coral habitats predominantly hosted S. radians and a few S. siderea, although single colonies of Solenastrea bournoni and Stephanocoenia intersepta were observed. Although clear, low-turbidity water was a consistent feature of these mangrove-coral habitats, the specific combination of environmental factors that determine which mangrove habitats are favorable for coral recruitment remains to be defined. Circumstantial evidence suggests additional coral communities existed on mangrove shorelines of oceanside and backcountry islands until destroyed, likely by Hurricane Irma. These mangrove-coral habitats may be climate refugia for corals and could be included in ecosystem management plans and considered for their applications in coral restoration.

Abstract The trophic ecology of ichthyofauna in a stream can be related to the presence or absence of riparian and aquatic vegetation, and mainly resource availability. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the seasonal and ontogenetic variations for the trophic ecology of Hemigrammus marginatus in the Beija-Flor stream located at the Jataí Ecological Station in the municipality of Luiz Antônio-SP, Brazil. In order to attain this objective, the data collections were carried out on a monthly basis from August, 2011 to July, 2012. Fish were collected using a trawl net and bait traps from three collection stations distributed along the Beija-Flor stream. The quality of the water was evaluated by the chemical variables: ammonia, nitrate, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and physical temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity and conductivity, obtained by using a Yellow Springs sonde. The collected specimens were fixed in 10% formalin in the field and were subjected to biometric measurements in the laboratory. The stomachs were weighed and transferred to 70% alcohol and the stomach contents were analysed using a stereomicroscope at the lowest possible taxonomic level. The species was considered insectivorous and the autochthonous food items were the most important during the dry season, mainly from the orders Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera, while allochthonous items from the order Hymenoptera were more important in the wet season. The young individuals’ diet was based on the consumption of zooplankton, and insofar as the fish develops, there was a decrease in this item in the diet showing that the species has ontogenetic shifts in its diet. The conservation state of the Beija-Flor stream, as well as the flexibility of using food and food resources provided by aquatic macrophytes and riparian vegetation are key factors for the high abundance of the H. marginatus species.

<p>Estudios sobre el ecosistema microbiano ruminal, han requerido tradicionalmente el uso de la canulación de los animales. El alto costo de la cirugía y su mantenimiento ha limitado a muchos laboratorios a tener fácil acceso a las muestras del rumen y a explorar su diversidad microbiana. Métodos como el uso de sondas de oro- ruminales se han utilizado tradicionalmente para transformación de animales sanos y otros que tienen enfermedades metanbólicas; que también han sido utilizadas en para el diagnóstico de enfermedades severas: síndrome de abomaso reflejo, acidosis láctica aguda, la acidosis crónica latente, putrefacción y la inactividad microbiana. La primera sonda oro- ruminal fue utilizada por Pounden en 1954, que consistió en un simple tubo que desciende desde la boca o la nariz hasta el rumen. Una jeringa grande se incluyó más tarde para succión de líquido ruminal. A veces se han utilizado accesorios de metal perforados para aspiración. Otra técnica ha permitido a las pequeños cantidades de fluido ruminal ser obtenidos por aspiración caudo ventral del rumen usando una jeringa sencilla. Aunque la rumenocentesis (como se conoce a este proceso) conduce al riesgo de producir una peritonitis localizada en un animal, que es actualmente uno de los métodos más utilizados en grandes granjas lecheras de producción para el seguimiento de los cambios abruptos y frecuentes en el pH ruminal que por lo general se asocian con lacto-acidosis. Este estudio se propone la utilización de una sonda oro-rumial para la obtención de muestras de contenido ruminal de animales no canulados y su uso en el aislamiento de microorganismos anaerobios habituales. Evaluando e implementando la metodología de la sonda oro-ruminal surgió la necesidad creciente de más estudios orientados hacia la obtención de conocimiento de los microorganismos de las vías gastrointestinales y aumentar el banco de germoplasma recolectado por CORPOICA de bacterias ruminales y hongos de las razas criollas colombianas.</p><p> </p><p class="Default"><strong>Ruminal anaerobic microorganism recovery using an experimental oro-ruminal probe</strong></p><p class="Default">Ruminal microbial ecosystem studies have traditionally required the use of canulado animals. The high cost of animal surgery and their maintenance has limited many laboratories having easy access to rumen samples and exploring their microbial diversity. Methods like using oro-ruminal probes have been traditionally used for transfaunactions from healthy animals to others having digestive disorders and metabolic diseases; they have also been used in diagnosing several diseases: abomasum reflex syndrome, acute lactic acidosis, chronic-latent acidosis, putrefaction and microbial inactivity. The earliest oro-ruminal probe was used by Pounden in 1954, consisting of a simple tube descending from the mouth or nose to the rumen. A large syringe was included later on for suc-king up the flow of ruminal liquid. Perforated metal suction accessories have sometimes been used. Another technique has allowed small quantities of ruminal fluid to be obtained by caudo-ventral aspiration of the rumen using a simple syringe. Even though rumenocentesis (as this process is known) leads to the risk of producing loca-lized peritonitis in an animal, it is currently one of the most used methods on large-scale production dairy farms for monitoring abrupt and frequent changes in ruminal pH which are usually associated with lactoacidosis. This study proposes using an oro-ruminal probe for obtaining samples of ruminal content from non-canulado animals and its use in isolating customary anaerobic microorganisms. Evaluating and implementing the oro-ruminal probe methodology became necessary due to the growing need for further studies orientated towards gaining know-ledge of microorganisms from the gastrointestinal tract and increasing CORPOICA’s germoplasm bank collection of ruminal bacteria and fungi from Colombian creole breeds.</p>

Cet article est basé sur une recherche évaluative du projet « réadaptation à base communautaire, RBC », réalisée au Rwanda en 2012 et en 2013. Il concerne un partenariat entre le ministère de la Santé (Minisanté) et Handicap International (HI), où le Minisanté a demandé l’assistance technique de HI dans la mise en œuvre d’un projet pilote de RBC impliquant l’élaboration de politiques, le renforcement des capacités des professionnels de la santé et la prestation de services au niveau communautaire. Le projet est cofinancé par l’Union européenne et Handicap International pour une durée de 4 ans. Une approche émancipatrice de la recherche avec un accent sur le rôle de la société civile (personnes handicapées et leurs organisations) comme protagoniste a été employée au cours de cette évaluation. Des données, majoritairement qualitatives, ont été recueillies à l’aide de plusieurs outils, comme des SSI (semi-structure interviews) avec les planificateurs et des fournisseurs de services, des groupes de discussion avec les usagers du service, des sondages, des études du cas et de l’observation. Les méthodes d’analyse synthétique ont été employées, comme l’analyse FFOM (force, faiblesse, opportunités et menaces), la validation communautaire et l’interprétation synthétique, incluant aussi des statistiques de base comme des tableaux et des pourcentages.Étant donné le succès du projet pilote, des recommandations ont favorisé la mise en œuvre de la RBC à grande échelle dans le pays, avec un accent particulier mis sur le renforcement de la capacité institutionnelle des acteurs locaux en matière de plaidoyer. Cela correspond bien à une meilleure protection des droits des PH selon la convention relative aux droits des personnes handicapées (CDPH).This account is based on an evaluation research to the Community Based Rehabilitation programme in Rwanda which is carried out in 2012-2013. It’s a partnership between Ministry of Health (Minisanté) and Handicap International (HI) where Minisanté requested the technical assistance of HI in implementing a pilot CBR project involving policy development, capacity building of health professionals and the provision of rehabilitation services at community level. The project is financed by the European Union and Handicap International for 4 years. An emancipatory research approach was used in this evaluation where persons with disabilities and their civil society organisations have actively participated in research process. Several tools were used for data collections such as semi-structure interviews with planners and service providers, questionnaires, case study, observations and focus group discussion with service users. Equally, qualitative methods for analysis were used including SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) as well as community validation of research outcomes. Results showed that the objectives of project were adequately fulfilled according to criteria of pertinence, effectiveness, impact, sustainability and gender participation. Given the success of the pilot stage, recommendations were in favor of expanding CBR at the national level with focus on capacity building of local actors on advocacy issues. This may provide higher levels of rights protection and goes in line with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

Introduction : ce travail a pour objectif principal de stabiliser une nanoémulsion de Pickering avec des nanoparticules de Mg(OH)2. Dans cette étude, nous nous sommes focalisés sur la stabilité d’une nanoémulsion de Pickering et sa caractérisation physico-chimique.
Matériel et Méthodes : Les nanoparticules stabilisantes composées d'hydroxyde de magnésium ont été obtenues par une méthode de nano-précipitation en présence de PEG-12000. Une nanoémulsion Huile- dans-Eau de Pickering stabilisée par des nanoparticules de Mg(OH)2 a été formulée selon un processus à haute énergie, à l'aide d'une sonde de sonication. L'approche expérimentale a exploré l'impact de tous les paramètres de formulation, composition et taille des nanoparticules de Mg(OH)2, sur les propriétés physico-chimiques de la nanoémulsion de Pickering. Le système a été caractérisé par diffusion dynamique d’un faisceau Laser Hélium-Néon (DLS) et par microscopie électronique à transmission.
Résultats et Discussion : Les résultats ont montré la formulation d’une nanoémulsion de Pickering Huile-dans-Eau stable. La caractérisation au DLS a montré des tailles de nanoparticules comprises entre 21 et 45 nm. Les résultats ont également montré des nano-gouttelettes d’émulsion d’une dimension comprise entre 100 et 300 nm au DLS. Cette gamme de taille était fonction des nanoparticules stabilisantes. La taille des nano-gouttelettes d’émulsion a été confirmée par microscopie électronique à transmission. La caractérisation physico-chimique a aussi montré que le potentiel zêta des nano- gouttelettes était fonction du pH du milieu dispersant.
Conclusion : Cette nanoémulsion de Pickering peut offrir des applications intéressantes dans la réalisation de systèmes à libération contrôlée de substances actives.

RESUMO A epidemiologia baseada em esgotos é uma importante ferramenta de saúde pública com grande aplicabilidade no enfrentamento à pandemia de COVID-19, visto que indivíduos infectados são capazes de excretar partículas de SARS-CoV-2. Diante desse contexto, este estudo objetivou correlacionar o número de casos de COVID-19 com variáveis físicas e químicas e presença do vírus em amostras de esgoto bruto provenientes de uma estação de tratamento de esgoto (ETE) do município de Lavras (MG) coletadas entre as 19ª e 25ª semanas epidemiológicas. As amostras foram concentradas pelo método de adsorção em membrana eletronegativa, e o RNA de SARS-CoV-2 foi extraído, detectado e quantificado por reação da transcriptase reversa seguida pela reação em cadeia da polimerase (RT-qPCR) utilizando-se oligonucleotídeos e sondas para o gene N. Ademais, as variáveis pH, sólidos suspensos totais e demanda química de oxigênio foram avaliadas. Os casos de COVID-19 foram obtidos de boletins epidemiológicos disponibilizados pela prefeitura. Na 24ª semana epidemiológica, observou-se redução na concentração viral (cópias L-1) concomitantemente às medidas de enfrentamento à pandemia iniciadas pelo município. Correlação positiva forte e significativa (p < 0,05) entre carga viral e número de casos confirmados foi obtida por meio do teste de Spearman, entretanto não houve correlação entre a presença do vírus e as características físicas e químicas do esgoto. Sugere-se, portanto, que novas pesquisas sejam realizadas com a finalidade de rastrear a concentração de SARS-CoV-2 em águas residuárias, corroborando, desse modo, com o enfrentamento à pandemia e a obtenção de sistemas de vigilância epidemiológica por meio do monitoramento de esgotos.

Full textAbstract:
For 88 years (1931-present), the Mohonk Preserve's Daniel Smiley Research Center has been collecting data on occupancy and reproductive success of amphibian species, as well as associated water quality of 11 vernal pools each spring (February to May). Though sampling effort has varied over the dataset range, the size of the dataset is unprecedented within the field of amphibian ecology. With more than 2,480 individual species sampling dates and more than 151,701 recorded individual occurrences of the nine amphibian species, the described dataset represents the longest and largest time-series of herpetological sampling with paired water quality data. We describe the novel publication of a paired dataset of amphibian occurrence with environmental indicators spanning nearly 90 years of data collection. As of February 2020, the dataset includes 2,480 sampling dates across eleven vernal pools and 151,701 unique occurrences of egg masses or individuals recorded across nine species of amphibian. The dataset also includes environmental conditions associated with the species occurrences with complete coverage for air temperature and precipitation records and partial coverage for a variety of other weather and water quality measures. Data collection has included species, egg mass and tadpole counts; weather conditions including precipitation, sky and wind codes; water quality measurements including water temperature and pH; and vernal pool assessment including depth and surface vegetation coverage. Collection of data was sporadic from 1931–1991, but data have been collected consistently from 1991 to present. We also began monitoring dissolved oxygen, nitrate concentrations and conductivity of the vernal pools using a YSI Sonde Professional Plus Instrument and turbidity using a turbidity tube in February 2018. The dataset (and periodic updates), as well as metadata in the EML format, are available in the Environmental Data Initiative Repository under package edi.398.

Full textAbstract:
The water of East African rift lakes contains large amounts of dissolved chemicals such as carbon dioxide, methane greatly and others like phosphate, silicate, Sulfate, Sulfide, Iron, Ammonia, Alkalinity etc. Lake Kivu is a large, deep rift basin lake located in the western branch of the East African rift zone that contains a methane gas deposit of great economic interest with two main sources: Inorganic carbon dioxide CO2 + 4H2 = CH4 + 2H2O and Organic methanogenesis CH3COOH =CH4 + CO2. Lake Kivu is a stratified, meromictic lake bordering Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The lake has a surface area of 2,370 Km2, a volume of 580 Km3 and a maximum water depth of 485 m. To characterize the vertical variation of Lake Kivu water chemistry, 8 samples of water were collected using Niskin bottles in Lake Kivu near Gisenyi town. Water samples were therefore collected at different depths: 0 m, 40 m, 90 m, 240 m, 290 m, 340 m, 340 m, and 390 m. Hatch kits were used to analyze water chemistry of samples taken of Sulfate, Sulfide, Iron, Ammonia, Alkalinity, Silica, PO4,andphosphorus.The results revealed that alkalinity increases in the monimolimnion part due to the precipitation of calcium carbonate in the upper levels of the water column and dissolution in the monimolimnion. The conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature and pH weremeasured by CTD Sonde. Water column data from these studies showed increasing concentrations with depth. The divide between the mixolimnion and monomolimnion is estimated at a depth of around 40 m. Higher amounts of silica observed closer to the shoreline is likely a result of an influx of siliciclastic sediment and increased silica with depth is likely a result of the dissolution of diatoms below the photic zone.
Keywords: Monimolimnion, mixolimnion, water stratification, chemicals agents.
