Demand for leisure activities has increased due to some reasons such as increasing wealth, ageing populations and changing lifestyles, however, the efficiency of public transport system relies on solid demand levels and well-established mobility patterns and, so, providing quality public transportation is extremely expensive in low, variable and unpredictable demand scenarios, as it is the case of out-of-routin...
Points of Interest (POI) are widely used in many applications nowadays mainly due to the increasing amount of related data available online, notably from volunteered geographic information (VGI) sources. Being able to connect these data from different sources is useful for many things like validating, cor- recting and also removing duplicated data in a database. However, there is no standard way to identify the...

The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) presents complex cybersecurity challenges, particularly against Denial-of-Service (DoS) and spoofing attacks targeting the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. This study leverages the CICIoV2024 dataset, comprising six distinct classes of benign traffic and various types of attacks, to evaluate advanced machine learning techniques for instrusion detection systems (IDS). The models ...
Two monoterpenoid lactones, loliolide (1) and epi-loliolide (2), were isolated from the crude dichloromethane extract of a microalga, Thalassiosira sp.). The structures of loliolide (1) and epi-loliolide (2) were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR analysis, as well as a comparison of their 1H or/and 13C NMR data with those reported in the literature. In the case of loliolide (1), the absolute configurations of its ste...
Despite the language widespread usage, publicly available and annotated Portuguese dialogue corpora are scarce. This poses a significant challenge in the development of effective dialogue systems that communicate in Portuguese. Having this in mind, we present MultiWOZ-PT, a new task-oriented dialogue dataset that results from the manual translation of dialogues in the MultiWOZ dataset to the European variety of...
