Hydrazones in anion transporters: the detrimental effect of a second binding site
Martínez-Crespo, Luis; Halgreen, Lau; Soares, Márcio; Marques, Igor; Félix, Vítor; Valkenier, HennieSynthetic anion transporters can be developed using anion receptors that are able to bind the anion and stabilize it in the lipophilic interior of a bilayer membrane, and they usually contain functional groups with acidic NHs, such as ureas, thioureas and squaramides. To assess the suitability of acylhydrazones as a new functional group for the preparation of anion transporters, we have studied a family of thio...

Viana, Paula; Soares, Márcio; Gaio, Rita; Correia, AmilcarThis paper presents an experiment on newsreaders’ behavior and preferences on the interaction with online personalized news. Different recommendation approaches, based on consumption profiles and user location, and the impact of personalized news on several aspects of consumer decision-making are examined on a group of volunteers. Results show a significant preference for reading recommended news over other new...
Desenvolvimento centrado no usuário a partir da metodologia ICONIX
Viana, Fabrício Rieg; Soares, MárcioDuring this project, the study of the possible integration of two models started: the development of the models ICONIX and DCU (Centered Design on the user). The methodology of development of the ICONIX Software has a very high level of acceptance among software companies because of its rationalization of matters related to documentation. However, the weak contact with the final user during the development of t...
A Hybrid Approach for Personalized News Recommendation in a Mobility Scenario U...
Viana, Paula; Soares, MárcioAccess to information has been made easier in different domains that range from multimedia content, books, music, news, etc. To deal with the huge amount of alternatives, recommendation systems have been often used as a solution to filter the options and provide suggestions of items that might be of interest to an user. The news domain introduces additional challenges due not only to the large amount of new ite...

In such cases, this rating is insufficient to represent in detail users’ preferences and it is wrong to conclude that they ...
A hybrid recommendation system for news in a mobile environment
Soares, Márcio; Viana, PaulaOver the last few years consumption of news articles has shifted more and more from the written versions towards the web. Mobile devices, which became more powerful, with larger screens and connected to the Internet, have had a great influence on this paradigm change. A critical problem associated to online news is related to the fact that the large number of daily articles can be overwhelming to the users. Rec...
Tuning metadata for better movie content-based recommendation systems
Soares, Márcio; Viana, PaulaThe increasing number of television channels, on-demand services and online content, is expected to contribute to a better quality of experience for a costumer of such a service. However, the lack of efficient methods for finding the right content, adapted to personal interests, may lead to a progressive loss of clients. In such a scenario, recommendation systems are seen as a tool that can fill this gap and co...
