Non-Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Recent Sediments of Sepetiba and Ilha Grande Bays, Brazil
نویسندگان
چکیده
Realizou-se uma investigação nas Baías de Ilha Grande e de Sepetiba sobre a natureza dos hidrocarbonetos não-aromáticos (NAH) em seus sedimentos. A mistura complexa não resolvida (UCM) constituiu de 50 a 90% da concentração dos NAH, que variou entre 2,5 μg g e 193,8 μg g. Na maior parte das amostras a distribuição dos n-alcanos foi unimodal com predomínio de compostos de número ímpar de átomos de carbono e máximos em nC 29 e nC 31 . Monolefinas ocorreram em baixas concentrações, enquanto as poliolefinas, incluindo isoprenoides ramificados e esqualeno, variaram entre 0,099 μg g e 1,387 μg g, com os baixos valores relativos aos NAH surgindo em áreas de forte influência continental e antrópica. C 27 C 33 hopanos foram encontrados em todas as amostras, assim como houve predominância da configuração 17 (H),21 (H), característica de origem petrogênica.

To investigate the foraging habitats of delphinids in southeastern Brazil, we analyzed stable carbon (δ(13)C) and nitrogen (δ(15)N) isotopes in muscle samples of the following 10 delphinid species: Sotalia guianensis, Stenella frontalis, Tursiops truncatus, Steno bredanensis, Pseudorca crassidens, Delphinus sp., Lagenodelphis hosei, Stenella attenuata, Stenella longirostris and Grampus griseus....
متن کاملPreliminary Study by Environmental Indicator Measurements of Sediments in a Mangrove Forest in Ilha Grande Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Southeastern Brazil
Mangroves perform essential functions in biological cycles and are protected by law in Brazil. However, they are being degraded above their support limit, leading to a reduction in the areas around the world. The area investigated in the present study is a potentially unpolluted mangrove ecosystem in the south of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. The aim of this work was to investigate the presence...

The purpose of this paper is to perform analyses in a fish-eating seabird species which is recognized to be at risk of accumulating toxic contaminants due to its high position in the trophic web and to its low ability to metabolize xenobiotic compounds. Fregata magnificens were collected at Ilha Grande Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (23°8’26"S, 44°14’50"W) between February, 2009 and April, 2013. P...
متن کاملPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Offshore Surface Sediments of the Northern Persian Gulf, Bushehr Province
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are classified as an important category of semi-volatile and persistent organic pollutants. They cause environmental problems due to their toxicity and accumulation in sediments. In this research, offshore sediments of 19 stations in 8 transects of the Persian Gulf in Bushehr province were studied to assess the sources of PAHs. The extraction and clean up...

This paper presents an investigation on the performance of the Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) in the power domain scheme. A Power Allocation (PA) method is proposed from NOMA throughput expression analysis. This method aims to provide fair opportunities for users to improve their performance. Thus, NOMA users can achieve rates higher than, or equal to, the rates obtained with the convent...
