22 years later, what is the future for the South Door of Expo ‘98?: Lisbon (199...
Vieira, E. J.; Saraiva, A.; Campos, I.This project combined the desire for representation and symbolism characteristic at the entrance to Expo ‘98 with the recovery of an industrial structure of significant impact. With the creation of a support building at the base, simulating a shipwreck, it was possible to fulfil the requirements and integrate the Cracking Tower into the entrance. With this, the Cracking Tower has remained an effective memory of...
Apparent digestibility coefficients of processed agro-food by-products in Europ...
Campos, I.; Matos, E.; Aragão, C.; Pintado, M.; Valente, L. M. P.Apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of processed agro-food by-products were assessed in European seabass Dicentrarchus labrax). Each experimental diet was obtained by replacing 300 g/kg of a commercial-based diet used as reference (REF) with a test ingredient: wheat germ (GERM), okara meal (OKA), poultry by-product meal (POULT), steam hydrolysed (FeHY) and enzyme-treated feather meal (FeENZ), beta-lactog...
The effectiveness of two contrasting mulch application rates to reduce post-fir...
Keizer, J.J.; Silva, F. C.; Vieira, D. C. S.; González-Pelayo, O.; Campos, I.; Vieira, A.M.D.; Valente, S.; Prats. S.A.Wildfires are well-known to increase runoff and erosion during the initial stages of the window-of-disturbance, and mulching has been widely documented to effectively minimize this impact. However, the relationship between the rate of mulch application and erosion reduction is poorly studied, in spite of its potential importance for optimizing mulching costs and efforts per ha. Therefore, a field experiment was...
Phenomenology Tools on Cloud Infrastructures using OpenStack
Campos, I.; Fernandez-del-Castillo, E.Fernandez; Heinemeyer, S.; Lopez-Garcia, A.; Pahlen, F.v.d.; Borges, G.We present a new environment for computations in particle physics phenomenology employing recent developments in cloud computing. On this environment users can create and manage “virtual” machines on which the phenomenology codes/tools can be deployed easily in an automated way. We analyze the performance of this environment based on “virtual” machines versus the utilization of physical hardware. In this way we...
Assessment of the toxicity of ash-loaded runoff from a recently burnt eucalypt ...
Campos, I.; Abrantes, N.; Vidal, T.; Bastos, A. C.; Gonçalves, F.; Keizer, J. J.Although wildfires are identified as an important source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and PAHs are well-known for their pernicious properties, the toxicity of runoff from recently burnt areas has received little research attention. This knowledge gap was addressed here through laboratory assays in which four aquatic species from distinct trophic levels were exposed to different dilutions of ash-load...
