Pharmaceutical removal through granular sludge systems: performance, operationa...

Pharmaceuticals may end up in the environment through untreated wastewater, improper disposal of unused and expired pharmaceutical formulations, or effluents from manufacturing facilities. Many reports focusing on the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment have been published in recent years. This environmental problem is also an issue of special concern for the European Union, which recommends the mo...

Transforming children’s knowledge and perception of sharks through a serious game

Due to the alarming decline in shark populations caused by overfishing and unsustainable practices, raising public awareness about this environmental crisis has become crucial. In response, an educational game was developed with the goal of shifting children’s negative perceptions of sharks. The game includes two mini-games designed to educate young players about the important role sharks play in maintaining ma...

O pós-LIFE Berlengas teve início em 2019. Neste relatório são apresentadas as tarefas realizadas durante 2019-2024, nomeadamente, monitorização e conservação de aves marinhas, biossegurança, controlo de plantas invasoras e monitorização da flora. Os resultados alcançados em termos de investigação, voluntariado, apoio, visitação e ações de sensibilização são também apresentados. A informação recolhida anteriorme...

Caracterização geoquímica da diagénese em dentes de saurópodes como suporte aos...

Detailed mineralogical and geochemical studies (μ-XRD, μ-XRF, SEM-EDS, LA-ICP-MS) were carried out on sauropod teeth from the Upper Jurassic of the central sector of the Lusitanian Basin. μ-XRD revealed the consistent mineralogical composition of the samples (hydroxyapatite), and μ-XRF confirmed that the chemical composition of the teeth is dominated by Ca and P, with minor concentrations of Fe, Mg, Mn, Al, and...

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the mSQUASH into European Portuguese

Background: Regular physical activity is recommended for all patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), but measuring its frequency, duration and intensity can be challenging. The modified Short Questionnaire to ASsess Health-enhancing physical activity (mSQUASH) is a patient-reported outcome measurement designed to assess daily physical activity in patients with axSpA. This study aimed to translate the mSQ...

Observação dos processos diagenéticos em dentes de saurópodes: métodos geoquími...

A ciência encontra-se atualmente, numa fase de forte evolução e expansão. Isto muito devido ao desenvolvimento exponencial das tecnologias e da explosão de conhecimento e à facilidade na partilha de informação à escala global. A Paleontologia não é exceção e, desde o século passado que têm vindo a mostrar uma forte ligação multidisciplinar com outras áreas científicas, com as quais prosperam cada vez mais, como...

Predictive accuracy of time series models applied to economic data: the Europea...

Modeling and accurately forecasting trend and seasonal patterns of a time series is a crucial activity in economics. The main propose of this study is to evaluate and compare the performance of three traditional forecasting methods, namely the ARIMA models and their extensions, the classical decomposition time series associated with multiple linear regression models with correlated errors, and the Holt–Winters ...

Validation of a methodology for post-construction Energy Yield Assessment of an...

The uncertainty associated with the prospective Energy Yield Assessment (EYA) of a wind farm may be reduced by re estimating the energy yield after it enters normal operation. This study aims to validate a simple methodology for conducting post-construction EYA of an operational wind farm. The proposed methodology derives a linear relationship between a historical source of wind speed data and the observed wind...

A next-generation liquid xenon observatory for dark matter and neutrino physics

The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon timeprojection chamber is the leading technology to cover the available parameter space for weakly interacting massive particles, while featuring extensive sensitivity to many alternative dark matter candidates. These detectors can also study neutrinos through neutrinol...
