The InCarbon project aims to evaluate the potential for storage of captured CO2 using in-situ mineral carbonation in mafic and ultramafic plutonic rocks in Alentejo, Portugal. The Sines massif appears to be the most promising massif for mineral carbonation and its geochemistry, petrography, mineralogy, volume and extension are characterized. Its offshore volume and extension are evaluated through reinterpretati...
Introduction: Generalized problematic internet use/GPIU has recently been associated with the impulsive-compulsive spectrum/ICS, but its mapping onto these behaviour dimensions is relatively unexplored. Objectives: To compare patterns of internet use and scores of BIG-5 personality traits, perfectionism and psychological distress between groups with low/high levels of GPIU. Methods: 475 university students (78....
Catalytic ozonation of salicylic acid (SA), as model pharmaceutical pollutant, at room temperature was studied in an aqueous phase using mono- (Pd, Cu) and bimetallic (Pd-Cu, Cu-Pd) zeolite catalysts prepared by the ion exchange method, using different zeolite structures: FAU (USY) and MFI (ZSM5). All metal-zeolite catalysts positively affected SA degradation in comparison with the parent zeolites, except for P...
Stage III NSCLC is a heterogeneous and complex setting that requires multimodal management. Recent advances in modern medicine led to the implementation of immuno-oncology (IO) into clinical practice. PICTuRE aims to assess the clinical management and the IO impact on clinical outcomes in stage III NSCLC patients (pts).
The Sines industrial area is the largest CO2 emitting cluster in Portugal, with a coal power plant, a refinery and petrochemical facilities that can be responsible for almost a third of the national emissions from stationary sources. This cluster is seen as an early opportunity to deploy CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) in Portugal, but the nearby offshore sedimentary formations do not provide economic conditions ...
The use of marbles during the Classical Antiquity, namely in the Roman Period, was a common practice, being extended during the 1st century. During this historical period, Hispania (Iberian Peninsula) was not an exception and there are several places where marbles were exploited with ornamental or architectonic purposes. In places like the Estremoz Anticlinal, Viana do Alentejo region, Trigaches-São Brissos, Al...
Four distinct Palaeozoic episodes of marine carbonate sedimentation are reported in the Ossa-Morena Zone (SW Iberian Variscides). Among them, the Cambrian and the Devonian episodes are those that are well represented in the Portuguese domains of the Ossa-Morena zone. In this zone, the strong Variscan deformation and metamorphic recrystallization obliterate the biostratigraphic contents of some carbonate local s...
A utilização de mármores na Antiguidade Clássica, nomeadamente durante a Época Romana, é uma prática comum e ampliada durante o século I. Durante este período histórico, a Hispania (Península Ibérica) não foi exceção e várias foram os locais onde estas rochas foram exploradas com fins ornamentais ou arquitetónicos, nomeadamente no Anticlinal de Estremoz, na região de Viana do Alentejo, em Trigaches-São Brissos,...
An observational study was conducted to determine the prevalence of drivers who smoke in the car and use the mobile phone. Higher percentages of drivers smoke and use the mobile phone while driving. Authorities should be more committed to controlling these driving behaviors.
