Optimization of raw ewes’ milk high-pressure pre-treatment for improved product...
Barros, R.; Saraiva, J.; Gomes, A.; Inácio, Rita S.Serra da Estrela protected designation of origin (PDO) cheese is manufactured with raw milk from Bordaleira and/or Churra Mondegueira da Serra da Estrela sheep breeds. Several socio-environmental shortcomings have reduced production capacity; hence, treatments that may contribute to its efficient transformation into cheese are welcome. High-pressure processing (HPP) milk pre-treatment may contribute to a cheese...
Mercury and Blood Pressure Levels in Inhabitants from a Highly Industrialized R...
Pastorinho, M. Ramiro; Gonçalves, D.; Barros, R.; Silva, T.; Henriques, I.; Amaro, R.; Teixeira, J.P.; Miranda, S.; Marques, A.; Valente, C.Estarreja is a highly industrialized municipality in NW Portugal, well known for its historical mercury contamination. Some reports have linked hypertension and mercury exposure. In this work, we collected house dust samples and hair from the residents of this area, together with systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure. Hair mercury levels varied between 624 and 4535 ng/g, and mercury in dust varied f...
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary D...
Sousa, Ana Catarina; Souto-Miranda, S.; Marques, A.; Valente, C.; Barros, R.; Taborda-Barata, L.; Tanoue, R.; Kunisue, T.; Tanabe, S.The study of indoor environmental quality as well as the development and progression of chronic respiratory diseases have received a great deal of attention in the past few years. However, most of those surveys focus on the effects of particulate matter (PM) and biological contaminants (fungi and bacteria) and evidences on the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in these pathologies are limited. He...
Supported ionic liquids for the efficient removal of acetylsalicylic acid from ...
Bernardo, Sandra C.; Araújo, Beatriz R.; Sousa, Ana C.A.; Barros, R.; Cristóvão, Ana C.; Neves, Márcia C.; Freire, Mara G.Acetylsalicylic acid, commercially available as aspirin, is one of the most used drugs in the world, being detected in several environmental compartments, including drinking water supplies. Given its environmental impact, the development of a cost‐effective technology capable of removing this pharmaceutical from water samples is of high relevance, for which materials based on silica chemically modified with ion...

Do custeio tradicional ao time-driven activity-based costing: revisao de litera...
Barros, R.; Ferreira, A.Este artigo faz uma ampla revisão de literatura, examinando as características fundamentais dos modelos de custeio tradicionais, do Activity-Based Costing (ABC) e do Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC). O artigo aponta ainda, as principais vantagens enunciadas na literatura para os modelos de custeio, bem como as críticas ao custeio tradicional que estiveram na origem do ABC e, por seu turno, as críticas...
Association between energy density and diet cost in children
Faria, A. P.; Moreira, P.; Rosário, Rafaela; Araujo, A.; Albuquerque, G.; Teixeira, V.; Barros, R.; Lopes, O.; Moreira, A.; Padrão, P.� 2016 PBJ-Associa��o Porto Biomedical/Porto Biomedical Society. Background: Lower energy density diets tend to cost more, but data using different ways to calculate the dietary energy density, is scarce. Objectives: To estimate the dietary energy density, and to assess how it is associated with the diet cost in children. Methods: Data were obtained from a community-based survey from public elementary sch...
