Process intensification: enhancing mass transfer in a gasliquid-solid system op...

Process intensification (PI) demands reactor concepts that deliver high mass-transfer rates, controlled hydrodynamics and low energy consumption under continuous operation, challenges that are especially acute for three-phase (gasliquidsolid) systems due to fouling, solids accumulation and poor gasliquid mass transfer in conventional devices. In this research paper, the first continuous co-current study of an o...

Early Diagnosis of Mucopolysaccharidoses in Pediatrics

Introduction: Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of Lysosomal Storage Disorders with multisystem involvement, presenting different degrees of severity and evolution. At early disease stages and late onset forms, diagnosis can be postponed for years or even missed. The FIND PROJECT was designed to claim awareness to the red flags of MPSs at pediatric age and to provide a useful tool for physicians to diagn...

Neurodevelopmental disorders: Assessing and training working memory

It is vital that working memory capacity can be assessed and trained with motivating resources, in a personalized way in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. This paper illustrates the possibility of a serious game, such as WorM, to assess and train children’s working memory capacity. WorM was designed, developed and evaluated through three studies (Study 1: informative, Study 2: validation and Study 3: ...

Assessment of piggery wastewater treatment in vertical flow constructed wetland...

Piggery wastewater (PWW), rich in pollutants, poses significant environmental risks if not properly treated. Natural treatment processes, such as constructed wetlands (combined action of plants, substrates, and microbes) and microalgae cultivation, offer sustainable and low-cost alternatives for managing these effluents while enabling resource recovery. This study represents an initial step toward optimizing ke...

Manual do Nursing Activities Score: proposta de padronização da aplicação do in...

O Nursing Activities Score (NAS) é um instrumento que tem como principal objetivo avaliar a carga de trabalho dos enfermeiros que trabalham em UCI e o tempo de assistência requerido pelos doentes internados nestas unidades. Desde a sua primeira validação que o NAS tem sido considerado um instrumento eficaz na gestão de cuidados e dos recursos humanos de enfermagem, tendo sido validado em 99 UCI em 15 países. O ...

Cultural challenges of the Portuguese adaptation of an IPIP english-based perso...

An instrument to measure job-related traits was developed and adapted to a Portuguese sample. This inventory, an adaptation of items from the International Personality Item Pool (Goldberg et al., 2006), measures a set of work-related facets over two studies (N = 437). Given the challenges in translating and adapting words and idioms from English to Portuguese, the focus was to ensure the scale remained gender-n...

Effect of high solids loading on gasliquid mass transfer in an oscillatory flow...

A wide range of chemical processes involves three phases, where common systems have inefficient mixing and mass transfer is limited. This study uses the oscillatory flow reactor with smooth periodic constrictions (OFR-SPC) according to the patent EP3057694 (B1) to evaluate its potential on O2 mass transfer at high solids loading (1050 % (v/v)). For that, the effect of solids (EPS, PVC) properties (concentration...

Solar-driven thermos-photocatalytic methanation over a structured RuO₂:TiO₂/SBA...

A new hybrid catalyst composed of mesostructured silica SBA-15 functionalized with TiO2 and further loaded with RuO2 was developed to efficiently promote thermo-photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation into methane at low temperatures. The catalytic activity was assessed with respect to TiO2:RuO2 loading, catalyst dosage, illumination source (polychromatic sunlight and monochromatic LEDs) and power, [H2]:[CO2] molar ra...
