Several hydrological models make use of surface runoff estimates, among which the soil water balance method developed by the Research Group on Water Resources of the Federal University of Viçosa stands out. This method, which is used in software for dimensioning terraces and other soil conservation structures, requires knowledge of the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) equation in the site of interest. This note presents an adaptation of this method for the model of intense rainfall equation obtained by disaggregating daily rainfall.

The construction of biblical texts runs through the discussion about the incarnation by divine inspiration in the construction of texts. Thus, this dialogue involves studies of literary theory, as well as a philosophical debate about the problem of authorship and the Theology of Inspiration of the Bible, as a collection of books that count on the divine and human presence. This human and divine brought together make it possible to deal with the limitations of language, as well as the analysis of symbolic elements, meanings and other components proper to literary texts.

This study examined the germination behaviour of Abelmoschus esculentus (okra) and Brassica nigra (mustard) seeds under an array of environmental conditions to dispense information on basic plant growth requirements, germination capacity at different pH and salinity levels, and other associated effects on growth parameters during seedling development. Seeds were sown into Petri dishes containing various concentrations of PH and sodium chloride solutions .In the experiment, distilled water served as control.

Polymer nanocomposites have been successfully used as excipients in pharmaceutical technology, due to its various applications and features, especially in therapies for controlled drug release. The aim of this work was to prepare and characterize PLA nanocomposites by solution casting mode, with two different clays, sodic (NT25) and organoclay (Viscogel B8), focusing being possible used as matrices for controlled release of an important drug for tuberculosis, rifampicin.

Oreochromis niloticus fish was collected from Yalelo Fishery in May, 2020. A Dendrogram was used to delineate the sampled specimens using PC-ORDTM Software and the differences among strains were tested using One-way ANOVA in Statistix 9 Software (P = 0.05). Morphometric analysis showed that the sampled fish could be characterized into eight different strains. These results showed that the tested fish samples could be grouped into 8 types based on morphometric characters. The morphometric differences among the sampled O.
