Análise da viabilidade de construção em terra nos Açores
Andrade, M.; Genin, S.; Fernandes, M.; Silva, A. S.Esta investigação avalia a possibilidade de construção em terra na ilha de São Miguel, com o objetivo de combater o impacto ambiental e paisagístico provocado pela exploração de pedra e pozolana, utilizada para a fabricação de cimento. Pretende-se promover técnicas construtivas sustentáveis, com recurso a terra local e promover a conservação do património arquitetónico, com argamassas tradicionais compostas de ...

Highly propylene equilibrium selective carbon molecular sieve adsorbent
Andrade, M.; Revlas, F.; Adélio MendesPropylene-propane separation is one of the most challenging and relevant industrial separations. Since this separation is very energy demanding, the research for new processes and/or materials able to separate these components efficiently with lower energy is encouraged. The present work reports a new carbon molecular sieve adsorbent highly equilibrium selective towards propylene - GLE800. This adsorbent was pr...
High performing CMS adsorbent for O-2/N-2 separation
Andrade, M.; Rodrigues, S.; Adélio MendesThe synthesis of a low particle size carbon molecular sieve (CMS) adsorbent was optimized for the O-2/N-2 separation. The best performing CMS displayed an O-2/N-2 adsorption kinetic selectivity of 123 and an inverse of apparent diffusion time constant of ca. 9 x 10(-2)s(-1); these are the highest values reported for an oxygen chemisorption stabilized sample. The adsorbent was prepared from the carbonization of ...
Antimicrobial assessment of phage therapy using a porcine model of biofilm infe...
Milho, Catarina; Andrade, M.; Boas, Diana Patrícia Andrade Vilas; Alves, Diana; Sillankorva, SannaAntibiotic resistant bacterial communities persist in many types of wounds, chronic wounds in particular, in the form of biofilms. Biofilm formation is a major cause of severe infections and the main reason for a negative treatment outcome and slow healing progression. Chronic wounds are a silent epidemic essentially affecting people with co-morbid conditions such as diabetes and obesity and elderly persons par...
Energy prices forecasting using GLM
Teodoro, M. F.; Andrade, M.; Silva, E. C.; Borges, A.; Covas, R.The work described in this article results from a problem proposed by the company EDP - Energy Solutions Operator, in the framework of ESGI 119th, European Study Group with Industry, during July 2016. Markets for electricity have two characteristics: the energy is mainly no-storable and volatile prices at exchanges are issues to take into consideration. These two features, between others, contribute significant...
Developing and assessing shape grammar design systems
Eloy, S.; Andrade, M.; Lopes, P. F.The ongoing and future research focus on the developing and assessing shape grammars design systems for architecture. The work started by the join paper from Eloy (ISTAR-IUL), Vermaas (TU Delft) and Andrade (ISTAR-IUL) (Eloy, Vermaas, & Andrade, n.d.) where the quality of designs generated by shape grammar systems with designs created by professional architects was compared. In this work authors collaborated in...
