Comprehensive multi-omics database for highly infectious viruses: a focus on HI...
Lima, A. S.; Carneiro, J.; Sousa, S.; Sá, Vítor Júlio; Pratas, D.Highly infectious viruses, such as HIV, Ebola, and SARS-CoV-2, continue to pose significant threats to global health, underlining the urgent need for new therapeutic approaches. Recent advancements in genomic and proteomic databases, along with 3D homology modelling, have enabled detailed simulations of virus-host interactions, providing insights into infection mechanisms and helping identify potential therapeu...
A multi-omics and primer database for virus identification: Focus on HIV, Ebola...
Lima, A. S.; Carneiro, J.; Sousa, S.; Sá, Vítor Júlio; Pratas, D.; Sá, Vítor J.Highly infectious viruses such as HIV, Ebola, and SARS-CoV-2 have presented ongoing challenges to global health. Consequently, the optimization of rapid detection tests, including PCR, and the identification of new therapeutic targets remain of paramount importance. The development of genomic and proteomic databases like the HIV Oligonucleotide Database (HIVoligoDB), EbolaID, and CoV2ID has facilitated the accu...
Mineralogical and chemical changes induced by experiments of interaction betwee...
Moita, P,; Berrezueta, E.; Abdoulghafour, H.; Beltrame, M.; Mirão, J.; Ribeiro, C.; Barrulas, P.; Pedro, J.; Carneiro, J.The focus of this research is a qualitative study of mineralogical and chemical changes in plutonic mafic rock samples after exposure to a CO2-rich brine, under supercritical conditions (SC), to clarify the behavior of brine and rock in the initial stages of mineral carbonation. The studied rock consists of a gabbro-anorthosite from the Odivelas massif, in southern Portugal. The sample was exposed to a SC CO2-r...
Red mud valorization in stoneware pastes: technical and environmental assessment
Vilarinho, I. S.; Dias, A. C.; Carneiro, J.; Pinto, C.; Labrincha, J. A.; Seabra, M. P.Red mud (RM), resulting from alumina production by Bayer process, is classified as hazardous waste and is, nowadays, one of the most abundant industrial waste worldwide. Currently, over 4 billion tons are stored in ponds/dried mounds and is of utmost importance to tackle this problem. This work aims to recycle RM as colouring agent in stoneware products. For this purpose, several proportions of RM (0–10 wt%) we...
Insights about the Sines massif: a reinterpretation of geophysical data to the ...
Marques, F.; Pedro, J.; Araújo, A.; Moita, P.; Carneiro, J.; Sousa, P.; Carvalho, J.; Correia, A.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...
Methodology for sub-commercial calculation of the potential energy storage capa...
Câmara, R.; Carneiro, J.; Câmara, G.; Araújo, P.S.R.; Rocha, P.S.; Andrade, C.The incorporation of renewable energy into the future world energy matrix challenges its efficient use because renewable energy is not always available due to its dependence on natural factors such as wind and sunlight. This work develops a new resource management system to evaluate the renewable energy resources stored in salt caves using power-to-gas (P2G) and compressed air energy storage (CAES) technologies...
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK BENCHMARK FOR ENERGY STORAGE: THE CASE OF COMPRESSED AIR E...
Matos, Catarina; Silva, P.P.; Carneiro, J.Energy storage has become both a trend and a central need in recent years, due to the increasing integration of intermittent renewable energy into the electrical grids worldwide. Among the different energy storage technologies available, compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the few large-scale energy storage technologies. This paper does a two-step benchmark analysis trying to evaluate whether regulat...
Experiments on mineral carbonation of CO2 in gabbro’s from the Sines massif– pr...
Moita, P.; Berrezueta, E.; Pedro, J.; Miguel, C.; Beltrame, M.; Galacho, Cristina; Barrulas, Pedro; Mirão, J.; Carneiro, J.Portugal has committed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, but the current profile of emissions from the industrial sector requires that CO2 capture and storage technologies are deployed to accomplish that target. Amongst those technologies, mineral carbonation, i.e. the ability to precipitate carbonates by reacting the main cations present in silicates in mafic rocks (e.g. Ca2+, Fe2+) with CO2, turns these r...
Site screening for in situ mineral carbonation options in southern Portugal.
Carneiro, J.; Araújo, A.; Moita, P.; Pedro, J.; Sousa, P.; Beltrame, M.; Berrezueta, E.; Chambel, A.; Correia, A.; Galacho, Cristina; Marques, L.F.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 ...
