Emulsions vs excipient emulsions as -tocopherol delivery systems: Formulation o...
Fernandes, J. M.; Araújo, J. F.; Gonçalves, Raquel Filipa Silva; Vicente, A. A.; Pinheiro, Ana Cristina BragaOil-in-water emulsions (EM) have been extensively used for the encapsulation of lipophilic bioactive compounds and posterior incorporation into food matrices to obtain functional foods. Conversely, novel excipient oil-in-water emulsions (EXC) present identical composition and structure as EM, albeit are not bioactive by themselves since no bioactive compound is encapsulated. Instead, EXC aims at improving the b...
Unravelling nanoemulsions vs excipient nanoemulsions: formulation optimization,...
Fernandes, J. M.; Araújo, J.; Gonçalves, Raquel F. S.; Vicente, A. A.; Pinheiro, Ana CristinaThe consumption of functional foods incorporating bioactive compounds as a way to promote a healthier lifestyle has gained particular interest in research community and food industry. Firstly, 3D printing has been used in food manufacturing as a novel technology in this field to improve food sensorial properties (e.g., appearance and texture) as well as nutritional/functional content. Secondly, since bioactive ...
Attribution of intentions in autism spectrum disorder: A study of event‐related...
Fernandes, J. M.; Soares, S.; Lopes, R.; Jerónimo, R.; Barahona‐Corrêa, J. B.Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by social cognition deficits, including difficulties inferring the intentions of others. Although deficits in attribution of intentions (AI) have been consistently replicated in ASD, their exact nature remains unexplored. Here we registered the electrophysiological correlates of a nonverbal social cognition task to investigate AI in autistic adults. Twenty-one mal...
Social cognition in schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders: a systematic r...
Fernandes, J. M.; Cajão, R.; Lopes, R.; Jerónimo, R.; Barahona-Corrêa, J. B.Background: Deficits in social cognition are well-recognized in both schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, it is less clear how social cognition deficits differ between both disorders and what distinct mechanisms may underlie such differences. We aimed at reviewing available evidence from studies directly comparing social cognitive performance between individuals with schizophrenia and ASD...
The 2014 European electoral manifestos a preliminary analysis of the main compe...
Fernandes, J. M.; Santana Pereira, J.The European project has enjoyed considerable support from both elite and masses in Portugal. Since the country joined the EEC in 1986, the main political parties have been strong supporters of the Europe project. In recent years, however, this has been undermined by both political and economic crises. In this paper, we produce a preliminary analysis of the competition dimensions in the forthcoming 2014 Europea...
North and South Hemispheric Solar Activity for Cycles 21 – 23: Asymmetry and Co...
Gonçalves, Esmeralda; Mendes-Lopes, Nazaré; Dorotovič, I.; Fernandes, J. M.; Garcia, A.We study the dynamic evolution of the time series describing the plage regions areas observed daily at the Observatório Astronómico da Universidade de Coimbra, in each one of the solar hemispheres during solar cycles 21 – 23. The classical ARMA model has proven to be insufficient to describe the time variations seen in the data because of the strong conditional variability. We found that the data are well fitte...
Modeling nearby FGK Population I stars : a new form of estimating stellar param...
Fernandes, J. M.; Vaz, A. Ismael F.; Vicente, L. N.Context. Modeling a single star with theoretical stellar evolutionary tracks is a nontrivial problem because of a large number of unknowns compared to the number of observations. A current way of estimating stellar age and mass consists of using interpolations in grids of stellar models and/or isochrones, assuming ad hoc values for the mixing length parameter and the metal-to-helium enrichment, which is normall...
L’emploi de métakaolin dans la production de béton écologiquement efficace
Oliveira, L. A. P.; Jalali, Said; Fernandes, J. M.; Torres, E.Les matériaux d'addition font actueÌlement pâÌtie des développements les plus récents dans la production du bétoÌr, caÌ Ì'üÍilisation des additions apporte uno amélioration des proprìáés mécâniques et de Ìa durabilité dü béton. D'autre part, leur utilisation a pour objectif de réduire la consommation de ciment. en conlribuant de maniere simple et économique à résoudre les problèmes liés à l'environnenent. Cet a...
