Debris flows in southeast Brazil: susceptibility assessment for watersheds and vulnerability assessment of buildings

Debris flows is one of the primary mass movement processes in the Serra do Mar, a system of escarpments and mountains thatstretches more than 1,500 km in south and southeast of Brazil. Usually, these processes cause environmental and social damages.On March 1967 only one small city was affected by 947 mm, with 115 mm on the 17th and 420 mm on the 18th and triggerednumerous landslides and debris flows with the great mobilization of material, reaching a 15 km radius, causing approximately 440fatalities. Approximately 50 years later, another city, located in the same mountain range, was affected by cumulative rainfall of150 mm/6 hours causing deaths and houses destroyed and structural damage to bridges. Thus, the objective of this work was toevaluate of vulnerability to debris flows in some watersheds located in two cities of the Serra do Mar affected in 1967 and 2014,respectively. For this purpose, some procedures were defined: (a) the evaluation of the vulnerability of buildings, considered, forinstance, the number of floors, the presence of broad terraces, large doors, windows and high walls surrounding the buildings. (b)elaboration of indicators and maps of vulnerability that consider the hazard properties, the exposure, preparedness and preventionof elements at risk; (c) elaboration of indicators and map of risk perception. The results show38 areas with vulnerable constructionto debris flows: 8%-high;70%-medium;22%-low vulnerability of buildings. As preliminary results, an inventory of damages wasprovided from the sectors of the affected districts and preliminary mapping of the debris flow

Estimating harvested rainwater at greenhouses in south Portugal aquifer Campina de Faro for potential infiltration in Managed Aquifer Recharge

The Campina de Faro (CF) aquifer system, located on the south coast of Portugal, is an important source of groundwater, mostly used for agriculture purposes. In some areas, this multi-layered aquifer is contaminated with high concentration of nitrates, possibly arising from excessive usage of fertilizers, reaching to values as high as 300 mg/L.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Modelling contributions of the local and regional groundwater flow of managed aquifer recharge activities at Querença-Silves Aquifer System

The Querença-Silves (QS) aquifer system is one of the most important natural groundwater reservoirs in the Algarve region of southern Portugal. With a surface area of 324 km2, this karst aquifer system is the main source of supply for irrigation as well as an important source of water for the urban supply.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

SUBSTITUTING SORGHUM GRAIN WITH CRUDE GLYCEROL IN DIETS FOR BEEF CATTLE

The expansion of the biodiesel industry has created opportunities for crude glycerol use in beef cattle diets. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of substituting sorghum grain with crude glycerol on dry matter intake (DMI), growth performance and feed intake pattern of 28 non-castrated Nelore males with initial body weight (BW) of 441 kg and 21.5 months of age housed in individual or collective pens. Crude glycerol was included at 15% of the ration dry matter as a replacement for sorghum grain. Orts were collected and weighed daily, and DMI was calculated by difference between feed offered and feed refused. Feed intake pattern was determined every two weeks after the beginning of the study in three intervals relative to feed delivery (0-4, 4-10, and 10-24 hours post-feeding). Animals’ BW was obtained on days 1, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, and 84 days of the trial after a 12-hour solid fasting. Crude glycerol did not alter (P>0.05) DMI, growth performance, hot carcass weight and dressing percentage compared with the control diet. A treatment × days of experiment response (P<0.05) occurred due to a decreased DMI in animals fed crude glycerol during the first 14 days of the trial. Crude glycerol-fed animals decreased (P<0.05) the NDF intake pattern in individual and collective pens. Crude glycerol can be used as a substitute for sorghum grain in beef cattle diets

TYPES OF STEM CUTTINGS AND ENVIRONMENTS ON THE GROWTH OF COFFEE STEM SHOOTS

Buscando a adequação de uma metodologia para produção de mudas de Coffea arabica L. via propagação vegetativa, objetivou-se avaliar neste trabalho o efeito de diferentes tipos de estacas caulinares utilizadas para a formação de mudas de café arábica. O experimento foi instalado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, disposto em esquema fatorial 3 x 2, correspondentes a três tipos de segmentos (herbáceos, semilenhosos e lenhosos) e dois ambientes (telado de sombrite e casa de vegetação). O experimento foi conduzido por 90 dias. No encerramento foram avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: altura da planta, número de nós, número de pares de folhas, comprimento da raiz principal e a matéria seca da planta. Através dos resultados observa-se que a estaca semilenhosa apresentou a maior média para comprimento da raiz principal, diferindo significativamente dos outros segmentos. Para matéria seca da planta, as estacas semilenhosa e lenhosa não diferiram entre si significativamente, mas foram superiores as herbáceas. O telado de sombrite destacou-se como o melhor local para condução dessas mudas.Looking to contribute to the formation of an appropriate methodology for Coffea arabica L. stem shoots production through vegetative propagation, this work aimed to evaluate the effect of different types of stem cuttings used for the formation of Arabic coffee stem shoots obtained from stem cuttings, under two different environments. The experiment was carried out in an completely random design, in a 3 x 2 factorial experiment, corresponding to three types of segments (herbaceous, semi-woody and woody) and two environments (shaded nursery and greenhouse). The experiment was conducted for 90 days. At conclusion the following variables were evaluated: plant height, number of nodes, number of leaf pairs, length of the principal root and the plant dry matter. It was observed that for the longest root of the semi-woody cutting presented the highest average, differing significantly from the other cuttings. For total dry matter, the semi-woody and woody cuttings did not present significant difference amongst themselves, but they were superior to the herbaceous cuttings. The shaded nursery stood out as the best local for the development of these seedlings

Evaluation of Susceptibility to Shallow Landslides Based on the Application of Bivared Statistics: Preliminary Results

The aim of this paper was to define the shallow landslides susceptibility on Caraguatatuba county, based on statistical analysis of morphological parameters. The production of morphological maps of curvature, aspect, hypsometry and slope were based on SRTM 30 m. From this, it was made an bivariate statistical analysis based on informative value. Such index it is responsible to relate morphological classes and shallow landslides from past events. The results showed that certain morphological classes tend to be more susceptible to occurrence of the process. So, that a success rate of 78% of the final susceptibility map was obtained. Thus, it was possible verify preliminary preferred classes to landslide occurrence in the area, such result demonstrate the importance of future studies about landslides and incorporation of other conditioning factors, such for example geology.O objetivo deste artigo foi definir a suscetibilidade a escorregamentos rasos do munícipio de Caraguatatuba a partir da análise estatística de parâmetros morfológicos. Para a confecção dos mapas morfológicos de curvatura, aspecto, elevação e ângulo de encosta foi utilizado o SRTM de 30 m. A partir disso, foi realizada uma análise estatística bivariada, baseada no valor informativo. Tal índice é responsável por relacionar classes morfológicas e cicatrizes de escorregamentos de eventos passados. Os resultados mostraram que determinadas classes morfológicas tendem a ser mais suscetíveis do que outras a ocorrência do processo, de maneira que se obteve uma taxa de acerto de 78% do mapa final de suscetibilidade. Desta maneira, foi possível verificar preliminarmente as classes preferenciais para ocorrência de escorregamentos na área, tornando importante a continuação dos estudos sobre o tema por meio da incorporação de outros parâmetros condicionantes de escorregamentos, como por exemplo a geologia
