Rumo ao mar: Avaliação da migração dos juvenis de salmão-do-atlântico (Salmo sa...

O salmão-do-atlântico (Salmo salar L., 1758) é uma espécie piscícola migradora icónica dos ecossistemas aquáticos, com um elevado valor económico e cultural, cuja área de distribuição se localiza desde o mar Báltico até ao norte da Península Ibérica. Em Portugal, as populações de salmão encontram-se no limite sul da sua distribuição e, portanto, em condições sub-ótimas associadas com o regime térmico e variaçõe...

A framework to support Robotic Process Automation

With the increasing demand for digitalization, organizations look to emerging technologies such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to increase their business performance. This makes it essential to identify and select the most suitable processes to maximize the benefits for organizations. However, despite the increasing interest of academics and professionals in RPA, the literature lacks a study on the main cr...

Study of Mortar Formulations for Underfloor Heating Systems Incorporating Steel...

Considering the European targets for energy efficiency and decarbonization, without compromising thermal comfort, it’s necessary to define more efficient and sustainable air conditioning solutions, in terms of design, use of materials and even system efficiency. Improving the thermal properties of mortars used in underfloor heating systems is a promising strategy for increasing the thermal and energy efficiency...

Evidence of genetic segregation among meagre (Argyrosomus regius) Atlantic spaw...

The meagre Argyrosomus regius, one of the largest sciaenidae in the world, is a valuable resource for fisheries and aquaculture. Despite its socioeconomic relevance, knowledge about population dynamics and wild stocks is still scarce, and conservation risks are associated with overexploitation. Two genetic distinct groups, one in the North Atlantic Ocean and one in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, were identified...

VO2 prediction based on physiologic and mechanical exercise measurements

The Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) is a diagnostic test that evaluates the functional capacity of an individual through the integrated response of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic systems. VO2 max is the parameter that access functional capacity, although it’s difficult to achieve given the effort that implies. In recent years, an increase in computing capabilities combined with the availabl...
