O papel central da cultura na regeneração das cidades tem-se traduzido no aumento da importância dos intermediários/mediadores culturais no desenvolvimento urbano. Trabalhando entre os setores público, privado e cultural, estes agentes promovem sinergias e projetos e facilitam e mediam parcerias usando processos colaborativos e de cocriação que tendem a resultar em dinâmicas socioeconómicas e culturais. Todavia...
Introduction: Selective portal vein ligation is currently used to induce hypertrophy of healthy liver segments before partial hepatectomy performed to treat metastatic or primary liver cancer. A major limitation of this procedure is the time interval needed between the portal ligation and hepatic resection, potentially leading to tumour progression. We report the characterization of the liver regeneration kinet...

In today's advanced technological age, embedded and real time systems have become ubiquitous, covering a wide range of applicability. As a result there is an ever growing need for low power capabilities along with reasonable performance, thus presenting a virtual demand for power-aware devices. The purpose of this work was leveraging key techniques and technologies such as design laziness, componentware design,...
Nowadays, the growing complexity of embedded systems demands for configurability, variability and reuse. Conditional compilation and object-orientation are two of the most applied approaches in the management of system variability. While the former increases the code management complexity, the latter leverages the needed modularity and adaptability to simplify the development of reusable and customizable softwa...
In this paper the ClimaWin concept is introduced. The ClimaWin project's main goals are to improve both indoor air quality and the energy efficiency of new and refurbished buildings, through the use of novel green smart windows. Generally, in order to improve windows' energy efficiency better insulation materials are used in windows frames and glasses. However, this approach leads to a severe deterioration of i...
