HJ-biplots can be used with singular spectral analysis to visualize and identify patterns in univariate time series. Named SSA-HJ-biplots, these graphs guarantee the simultaneous representation of the trajectory matrix’s rows and columns with maximum quality in the same factorial axes system and allow visualization of the separation of the time series components. Structural changes in the time series can make i...
Introduction: This study reports type of visits realized during 2020 in Portugal, population habits, and eye complaints regarding visual health in the COVID-19 pandemic context. Material and Methods: An email invitation to an online cross-sectional survey and also performed to patients from ophthalmology clinics in Portugal from September/November 2020.

O debate sobre a Habitação Rural em Moçambique, se caracteriza como questão que ainda carece de muita reflexão, não apenas no seu aspecto teórico, mas político e sobretudo, prático. No quadro das transformações políticas, económicas e sociais em curso no país se torna necessário adoptar políticas e estratégias na área da habitação, para uma progressiva melhoria de vida dos cidadãos, à luz da Agenda 2025. Nesta ...

Code in R for the construction of area biplots.
Based on a factorization provided by the Partial Least Square (PLS) methodology, the construction of a biplot for both exploratory and predictive purposes was shown to visually identify patterns among response and explanatory variables in the same graph. An application on a team effectiveness research, collected from 82 teams from 57 Portuguese companies and their respective leaders, containing two effectivenes...
Neudesin (Neuron-derived neurotrophic factor, NENF), a membrane-associated progesterone receptor family (MAPR) member, is a neuron secreted protein with neurotrophic properties during embryonic stages. However, its role in the adult brain is still poorly addressed. In this study we have used neudesin-null (Nenf-/-) mice and performed a characterization of the proliferation state of the adult neurogenic niches, ...
In this work is proposed the design of a system to create and handle Electric Vehicles (EV) charging procedures, based on intelligent process. Due to the electrical power distribution network limitation and absence of smart meter devices, Electric Vehicles charging should be performed in a balanced way, taking into account past experience, weather information based on data mining, and simulation approaches. In ...
A Common Business Process Execution Language (CBPEL) é uma nova especificação para a descrição de processos interorganizacionais descritos de forma global e única, e baseados em Web Services. A grande vantagem da utilização de uma descrição global e única consiste na possibilidade da geração automática dos processos das organizações participantes. Essa automatização tem por principal objectivo a redução do risc...
