In Brazil, where about 16 wild animals become roadkill every second, a computer scientist has come up with a futuristic solution to this everyday problem: using AI to alert drivers to their presence. Direct strikes on the vast South American country's extensive road network are the top threat to numerous species, forced to live in ever-closer proximity with humans. According to the Brazilian Center for Road Ecology (CBEE), some 475 million vertebrate animals die on the road every year [...]

Río de Janeiro (AFP) – "Atención, tapir en perímetro próximo en la vía". Un proyecto de aplicación para conductores aspira a reducir por medio de la tecnología de Inteligencia Artificial (IA) los atropellamientos de fauna silvestre en Brasil, la principal amenaza para varias especies vulnerables. En Brasil, 475 millones de animales mueren cada año aplastados o embestidos en carreteras, según cálculos [...]

Las emisiones de dióxido de carbono de la Amazonía se dispararon en 2019 y 2020 debido a que durante el mandato del expresidente brasileño Jair Bolsonaro disminuyó la vigilancia ambiental en esa región cada vez más frágil, informaron investigadores el miércoles.

The Amazon rainforest's carbon emissions doubled in 2019 and 2020, as a decline in environmental policing under Brazilian ex-president Jair Bolsonaro led to a surge in destruction of the increasingly fragile region, researchers reported Wednesday. The world's biggest rainforest is a vital buffer against climate change, but studies show it has started emitting more carbon than it absorbs, pushed to a dangerous "tipping point" by deforestation and fires -- mainly for cattle [...]

Con una inversión de 10 millones de dólares, la planta de podría estar en funcionamiento en el primer semestre de 2024, con una producción de hidrógeno de 5kg/hora. El Gobierno de Sao Paulo anunció este jueves la construcción de una planta pionera en la producción de hidrógeno renovable a partir de etanol junto con empresas de energía y transporte e investigadores de la Universidad de Sao Paulo (USP), cuyo campus [...]

Sao Paulo acogerá en 2023 el primer Instituto Pasteur de Brasil, con el objetivo de trabajar para prevenir futuras pandemias, entre otras investigaciones, acordaron este viernes el centro científico y autoridades brasileñas. Dirigentes del laboratorio francés y del Estado brasileño de Sao Paulo firmaron en París la creación de este nuevo Instituto Pasteur, que retomará el trabajo de una plataforma de cooperación ya existente con [...]

There are few places on Earth as isolated as Trindade island, a volcanic outcrop a three- to four-day boat trip off the coast of Brazil. So geologist Fernanda Avelar Santos was startled to find an unsettling sign of human impact on the otherwise untouched landscape: rocks formed from the glut of plastic pollution floating in the ocean. Santos first found the plastic rocks in 2019, when she traveled to the island to research her doctoral thesis on a completely different [...]

Home / Health / Study helps understand why obesity increases risk of cardiovascular complications in COVID-19   Health 5 minutes read A study analyzed data from 109 patients hospitalized owing to acute COVID-19, but not in a critical condition. Credit: UFSCar In COVID-19 patients, obesity is the factor most associated with the development of endothelial dysfunction, a condition in which the blood vessels become unable to contract and relax adequately, increasing the risk of events [...]

Researchers who analyzed data for São Paulo state, Brazil, found the highest rates of newborn mortality from asphyxia in cities in the south, southeast and north of the state between 2004 and 2013. They cross-tabulated these results with economic data and detected a combination of high mortality with low per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in 31 of the cities. Neonatal asphyxia correlates highly with low-quality antenatal and postpartum care. These are the main findings of a study [...]
