—Side-scan sonar and multibeam imagery of Glacier Bay, Alaska, revealed complex iceberg gouge patterns at water depths to 135 m on the floor of Whidbey Passage and south to the bay entrance. These previously undiscovered gouges likely formed more than 100 years ago as the glacier retreated rapidly up Glacier Bay. Gouged areas free of fine sediment supported greater biodiversity of Pacific halib...

In this study, geochemical and particle size analyses of thirty-four street sediment samples collected from an urban environment around Guanabara Bay, shows highway run-off to be a potential source of heavy metals for the pollution of near-shore sedimentary deposits. Concentrations of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cr and Ni were found to be higher in these sediments when compared to concentrations found ...

C. edentulus accounts for the major fishery resource in Guanabara Bay, but there are only few studies about its captures.This study analyzed the long term changes on C. edentulus catches in Guanabara Bay, focusing especially on temporal variation on capture effort, boat storage temperature, and fish price and size.We assessed the 2002-2011 database of fish landings at the pier of Rubi S.A., wit...

Laurus nobilis is one of the most well-known, frequently used plants from Lauraceae family which contains up 2.500 species that grow in subtropics and tropics Mediterranean region Indonesia. This study was supposed to investigate antimicrobial eff ect L.nobilis leaves ethanol extract on Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonellae typhi, Escherichia coli. preliminary examined extract. The method Agar-well...

This study aimed to analyze the chemical composition and antioxidant antimicrobial activities of Laurus nobilis L. essential oil (LEO) its fractions obtained by short-path molecular distillation. According composition, it can be said that LEO proved have activity sinceboth a high content total phenolic (TPC). Short-path distillation was used separate with superiorantioxidant activity. Laurel re...

Climate change has strongly increased the fire frequency in Mediterranean forests causing changes soil bacterial, fungal and microarthropod communities. Fire impacts on properties depend vegetation covers. In this framework, aim of research was to evaluate effects communities community soils under trees shrubs a area. Surface cores were sampled unburnt burnt (three years since occurrence) patch...
