Pharmacological treatment of COPD - New evidence
Pires, N.; Pinto, P. G. N.; Marçal, N; Ferreira, A. J.; Rodrigues, C. M. P.; Bárbara, CChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is currently the 4th leading cause of death worldwide but is projected to be the 3rd leading cause of death by 2020. In Portugal, the estimated prevalence of COPD in the Lisbon region is 14.2%, and a large proportion of underdiagnosed disease has been detected. In 2016, a Portuguese panel of experts proposed pharmacological treatment approaches to COPD based on the e...

Evaluation on effects of using low biodiesel blends in a EURO 5 passenger vehic...
Serrano, L.; Lopes, M.; Pires, N.; Ribeiro, I.; Cascão, P.; Tarelho, L.; Monteiro, A.; Nielsen, O.; Silva, M. Gameiro da; Borrego, C.The effects of the use of low biodiesel blends in performance, fuel consumption and NOx emissions was investigated during tests carried out with a Renault Megane 1.5dCi equipped with recent injection and exhaust emission control technologies. To accomplish this goal, several tests were performed using the European homologation cycle concerning CO2 emissions of vehicles, known as the New European Driving Cycle (...
Emissions characterization from EURO 5 diesel/biodiesel passenger car operating...
Lopes, M.; Serrano, L.; Ribeiro, I.; Cascão, P.; Pires, N.; Rafael, S.; Tarelho, L.; Monteiro, A.; Nunes, T.; Evtyugina, M.; Nielsen, O. J.The increasing demand of petroleum based fuels and their use in internal combustion engines have adverse effect on air quality and climate change. Production of biofuels promises substantial improvement in air quality through reducing emission from biofuel operated vehicles. In this study the influence of the fuel mixture on EURO 5 vehicle exhaust emissions operating under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) ...
Synthesis, spectroscopy, photophysics and thermal behaviour of stilbene-based t...
Gigante, Bárbara; Esteves, M. Alexandra; Pires, N.; Davies, Matthew L.; Douglas, Peter; Fonseca, Sofia M.; Burrows, Hugh D.; Pina, JoãoNovel stilbene-based triarylamines with dehydroabietic acid methyl ester moieties have been synthesised by palladium catalysed C–N coupling reactions. The presence of the bulky dehydroabietic acid group increases solubility, hinders crystallisation and permits their sublimation while preserving their electronic and optical characteristics. This makes them good candidates for various molecular electronic applica...
