The rapid spread of COVID-19 across the world has raised concerns about the responsiveness of cities and healthcare systems during pandemics. Recent studies try to model how the number of COVID-19 infections will likely grow and impact the demand for hospitalization services at national and regional levels. However, less attention has been paid to ...

Global solar irradiation (Hg) is a variable of great importance for different applications. Despite the great advance in the latter, Hg measurements are not readily available in many places. So, several models with different input variables have been developed and used to estimate Hg worldwide. Estimating Hg from models that use air temperature off...

Flooding events in large rivers, termed flood pulses, expand and contract habitat available for fish populations, affecting fish abundance and catches. Here, we investigated if river hydrologic variability affected catch of curimatã (Prochilodus nigricans), a widely distributed and economically important fish species of the Amazon Basin. Using fish...

Temporal Conceptual Model can enhance the long-term management of contaminated Complex Sites. This type of contaminated land model is defined here as the sequential or combined representation over time of single time conceptual models (named here as Snapshot Conceptual Models) including contaminant evolution, most likely causes, eventual receptor c...

The Science of the total environment
The biodiverse Neotropical ecoregion remains insufficiently assessed, poorly managed, and threatened by unregulated human activities. Novel, rapid and cost-effective DNA-based approaches are valuable to improve understanding of the biological communities and for biomonitoring in remote areas. Here, we evaluate the potential of environmental DNA (eD...

We documented fetal death associated with intrauterine transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. We found chronic histiocytic intervillositis, maternal and fetal vascular malperfusion, microglial hyperplasia, and lymphocytic infiltrate in muscle in the placenta and fetal tissue. Placenta and umbilical cord blood tested positi...
