Unveiling of beneficial bacteria in Douro Vineyards

Microbial biodiversity in soil vineyards is a key determinant of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) growth and wine quality. Vineyards are subject to many pests and fungal pathogens responsible for significant losses in the wine sector. Recently, beneficial bacteria have received increasing attention as a promising sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This work aimed to isolate and charact...

Challenges in modelling landslide susceptibility on terraced slopes in the Dour...

Exploring seaweed and Glycine Betaine Biostimulants for enhanced phenolic conte...

Climate change will pose a challenge for the winemaking sector worldwide, bringing progressively drier and warmer conditions and increasing the frequency and intensity of weather extremes. The short-term adaptation strategy of applying biostimulants through foliar application serves as a crucial measure in mitigating the detrimental effects of environmental stresses on grapevine yield and berry quality. The aim...

A WSSL Implementation for Critical Cyber-Physical Systems Applications

The advancements in wireless communication technologies have enabled unprecedented pervasiveness and ubiquity of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Such technologies can now empower true Systemsof-Systems, which cooperate to achieve more complex and efficient functionalities. However, for CPS applications to become a reality, safety and security must be guaranteed, particularly in critical systems, since they rely o...

Ascophyllum nodosum extract and glycine betaine preharvest application in grape...

The Douro Demarcated Region (DDR) has peculiar edaphoclimatic characteristics that provide a suitable terroir for premium wine production. As climate change effects continue to emerge, ensuring productivity and quality becomes increasingly important for viticulturists, as those directly determine their profits. Cultural approaches, such as the use of biostimulants, are actively being developed to mitigate abiot...

Impact of deficit irrigation on grapevine cv. ‘Touriga Nacional’ during three s...

The introduction of irrigation in vineyards of the Mediterranean basin is a matter of debate, in particular in those of the Douro Demarcated Region (DDR), due to the limited number of available studies. Here, we aimed to perform a robust analysis in three consecutive vintages (2018, 2019, and 2020) on the impact of deficit irrigation on the yield, berry quality traits, and metabolome of cv. ‘Touriga Nacional’. ...

A importância da partilha de informação no desempenho operacional

Ser detentor de Informações, é ter a capacidade de prevenir e antecipar os perigos e ameaças à segurança dos cidadãos, proporcionando o conhecimento necessário à tomada de decisões atempadas e assertivas. Assim torna-se essencial aferir a importância que as Informações têm no desempenho operacional da GNR. Face ao exposto, foi definido, como objetivo geral do presente trabalho, analisar os processos de partilha...

Active aging governance and challenges at the local level

International and national guidelines have been promoting active aging while creating the necessary means for decision-makers and other relevant actors to work together (governance mechanisms) to implement local and active aging policies. This is especially important in the present COVID-19 pandemic context, posing greater challenges on older people who tend to be self-isolated. How are local actors conceptuali...
