Introduction of Exogenous AMF Species Alters the Diversity and Functionality of...
Leal, VC; Brígido, Clarisse; Souza, IS; Lacerda Júnior, GV; Carvalho, M; Fernandes-Júnior, PI; Martins, LMVSalinity in arid and semi-arid regions is rapidly increasing due to climate change and human activities [1]. The use of inoculants containing beneficial microbes, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and rhizobia, offers a promising alternative for enhancing plant production in these areas [2]. This study investigates the effects of common agricultural practices, specifically microbial inoculation and cro...
Effects of oral supplementation of black-eyed-bean (Vigna unguiculata) in ICR m...
Ferreira, T; Silva-Reis, R; Mendes, BAL; Faustino-Rocha, AI; Carvalho, M; Castro I; Carnide, V; Coutinho, J; Gama, A; Rosa, E; Oliveira, PAGrain legumes are a main source of nutrients in some countries. Black-eyed-bean (BEB) (Vigna unguiculata), a member of theFabaceae family, is a grain legume consumed worldwide due to its high content of bioactive molecules that promote human health. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 70% BEB flour (BEBF) (w/w) supplementation in ICR healthy mice for 13 weeks. Body and organs weights, as well as food an...
Innovative Hyperspectral Data Fusion for Enhanced Mineral Prospectivity Mapping
La Rosa, R; Steffen, M; Storch, I; Knobloch, A; Cardoso Fernandes, J; Carvalho, M; Barrios, MS; Sánchez Migallón, JM; Nygren, P; Williams, VTo meet the European Unions growing demand for critical raw materials in the transition to green energy, this study presents a novel, cost-effective, and non-invasive methodology for mineral prospectivity mapping. By integrating hyperspectral data from satellite, airborne, and ground-based sources with deep learning techniques, we enhance mineral exploration efficiency. We employ Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs)...
Evaluation of EnMAP Hyperspectral Data for the Identification of Placers in the...
Araújo, L; Cardoso Fernandes, J; Azzalini, A; Carvalho, M; Lima, A; González, J; Teodoro, ACCritical Raw Materials are crucial to achieve the European Unions (EU) goals of a climate-neutral economy by 2050. The high supply risk led the EU to prioritise domestic mineral exploration. This study, part of the S34I - SECURE AND SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY OF RAW MATERIALS project, utilised remote-sensing-based methods to identify and map heavy-mineral (HM) placer deposits in the Ria de Vigo, located in Galicia, Spa...
Spectral Angle Mapper Application Using Sentinel-2 in Coastal Placer Deposits i...
Ng-Cutipa, WL; Lobato, A; González, FJ; Georgalas, GP; Zananiri, I; Carvalho, M; Cardoso-Fernandes, J; Somoza, L; Piña, R; Lunar, R; Teodoro, ACRemote sensing applications for marine placer deposit exploration remain limited due to the mineralogical complexity and dynamic coastal processes. This study presents the first medium- to high-level detailed multi-scale remote sensing analysis of placer deposits in the R & iacute;as Baixas, NW Spain, focusing on five beaches within the Vigo Estuary. Ten beach samples were analyzed for their heavy mineral (HM) ...
Convolutional Neural Networks Applied to Antimony Quantification via Reflectanc...
Carvalho, M; Cardoso-Fernandes, J; Lima, A; Ana Teodoro<jats:p>Antimony (Sb) has gained significance as a critical raw material (CRM) within the European Union (EU) due to its strategic importance in various industrial sectors, particularly in the textile industry for flame retardants and as a component of Sb-based semiconductor materials. Moreover, Sb is emerging as a potential alternative for anodes used in lithium-ion batteries, a key element in the Energy trans...

Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in...
Schumacher, AE; Kyu, HH; Aali, A; Abbafati, C; Abbas, J; Abbasgholizadeh, R; Abbasi, MA; Abbasian, M; Abd ElHafeez, S; Abdelmasseh, M; Abd Elsalam, SBackground: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides n...
Dupla inoculação (rizóbio e fungos micorrízicos arbusculares) mitigam efeitos n...
Leal, VC; Brígido, C; Souza, IS; Lacerda Júnior, GV; Carvalho, M; Fernandes-Júnior, PI; Martins, LMVA salinidade em áreas áridas e semiáridas do mundo está a expandir rapidamente devido às alterações climáticas e atividades humanas. O uso de inóculos contendo microrganismos benéficos, como fungos micorrízicos arbusculares (FMA) e bactérias simbióticas fixadoras de azoto, aliado ao manejo adequado do solo e das culturas, é uma alternativa promissora para melhorar a produção vegetal nessas regiões. Aqui, invest...
