There are different methods for predicting streamflow, and, recently machine learning has been widely used for this purpose. This technique uses a wide set of covariables in the prediction process that must undergo a selection to increase the precision and stability of the models. Thus, this work aimed to analyze the effect of covariable selection with Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) and Forward Feature Selection (FFS) in the performance of machine learning models to predict daily streamflow. ...

Water quality monitoring is fundamental for the maintenance and conservation of water resources. However, the conventional monitoring method, which uses point sampling, does not adequately represent the spatial variability of its parameters, besides being costly. As a result, remote sensing techniques with the use of orbital sensors have been applied to map some water quality parameters, mainly the Optically Active Components (OACs), such as the Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), ...

Efficiency in removing particulate matter from Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp culture effluent was assessed in laboratory scale employing sedimentation and oysters Crassostrea gigas and C. rhizophorae filtration processes. Cylindroconical tanks (100 L) were used in duplicate for sedimentation and 50-L in triplicate for oyster filtration. Fifteen oysters of each species weighing 76-80 g were stocked in each of the filtration treatment experimental units (biomass of 1065 - 1174 g oyster per unit). The control ...

As sediment measurements are laborious and costly, alternative techniques are required to provide such information from more easily measured variables. Thus, the objective of this study was to use machine learning-based models to predict the surface sediment concentration (SSC) in the Doce river basin. The cross-sectional averages of measurements from seven sediment monitoring stations of the Agência Nacional de Águas e Saneamento Básico located in the Doce riverbed were used as the SSC data. A total ...

A way to reconstruct optical sensor-derived images allowing cloud-free vegetation monitoring is proposed in this paper. The motivation is the influence that clouds have on optical remote sensing of tropical regions, which hinders Earth observation systems because their presence reduces imaging frequency. To circumvent that problem, a machine learning model-based integration methodology for the fusion of Landsat 8 and Sentinel-1 data is proposed herein. Sentinel-1 constellation has mounted Synthetic ...

ABSTRACT: Elephant grass (pennisetum purpureum schum.) has been grown only in cut-and-carry systems for a long time. However, interest in its grazing management has been increasing because of the selection of short-sized genotypes, which have gained new relevance since 1988 with the registration of ‘mott’ grass. in this sense, tall and short-sized genotypes present important differences in morphology, quality and productivity; although, environmental factors also exert influence on these aspects. ...

Surface reflectance data acquisition by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an important tool for assisting precision agriculture, mainly in medium and small agricultural properties. Vegetation indices, calculated from these data, allow one to estimate the water consumption of crops and predict dry biomass and crop yield, thereby enabling a priori decision-making. Thus, the present study aimed to estimate, using the vegetation indices, the evapotranspiration (ET) and aboveground dry biomass (AGB) of ...

Abstract Background Most serious complications of infective endocarditis (IE) appear in the so-called “critical phase” of the disease, which represents the first days after diagnosis. The majority of patients overcoming the acute phase has a favorable outcome, yet they remain hospitalized for a long period of time mainly to complete antibiotic therapy. The major hypothesis of this trial is that in patients with clinically stable IE and adequate response to antibiotic treatment, without signs of persistent ...

Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is a fundamental parameter for hydrological studies and irrigation management. The Penman-Monteith method is the standard to estimate ETo and requires several meteorological elements. In developing countries, the number of weather stations is insufficient. Thus, free products of remote sensing with evapotranspiration information must be used for this purpose. In this context, the objective of this study was to estimate monthly ETo from potential evapotranspiration ( ...

Postendarterectomy carotid pseudoaneurysms are infrequent. The endovascular treatment is less invasive, with a minor risk of complications. However, the presence of a highly angulated aortic arch (type III) is a challenge, since the navigation of endovascular devices is not favorable. Through transcervical access, it is possible to deliver the devices directly into the carotid artery. We herein present a case of a postendarterectomy carotid pseudoaneurysm in a patient with type III aortic arch that ...
