Generalised Finite Difference Methods and similar mesh-free methods (Point set method, Multipoint method) are based on three main ingredients: a stencil around the reference node, a polynomial reconstruction and a weighted functional to provide the relation sbetween the derivatives at the reference node and the nodes of the stencil.Very few studies were dedicated to the optimal choice of the stencil together wi...
O presente relatório vai ao encontro do estágio curricular realizado na Câmara Municipal de Trancoso no âmbito do curso de Comunicação Multimédia, lecionado na Escola Superior de Educação, Comunicação e Desporto (ESECD), do Instituto Politécnico da Guarda. Para completar esta última fase da licenciatura foi necessário aplicar os conhecimentos, competências e técnicas desenvolvidas durante os três anos da licenc...
Tourism has grown exponentially in the 21st century and continues to be one of the rapidly growing industries in the world in terms of revenue generation and employment opportunities. It covers not only travel services and boarding-lodging activities but a wide range of independent but related sectors like transport, accommodation, food and beverage, and entertainment, among others. Modern tourism is diversifie...
Accurate characterization of the response of coastal structures when subjected to tsunami-like waves is important for structural engineering assessment and design. The weakly-compressive Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) model can theoretically investigate such phenomena in both horizontal and vertical directions. Yet, the convergence of the solutions is sensitive to physical and numerical parameters used in...

The present research aimed to analyze the process of development of innovation culture in resident enterprises in the Sorocaba Technology Park (STP). Recent studies on this issue point to the absence of a single flow to the steps of a process of innovation, everything will depend on the strategies and the culture of each organization to create its own innovation process. Therefore, it is a relevant research wit...
Recently, the North American and Japanese authorities began combining the tsunami forces with other loads in their structural design guidelines. Nonetheless, due to the infrequent nature of tsunamis, the provisions may benefit from complementary insights on the qualitative and quantitative characterization of the extreme phenomena and their interaction with coastal structures. The goal of this paper is to explo...
The European Data Portal is one of the worldwide initiatives that aggregates and make open data available. This is a case study with a qualitative approach that aims to determine to what extent the datasets from the Government and Public Sector, Transport, and Education, Culture and Sport categories published on the portal meet the Data on the Web Best Practices (W3C). With the datasets sorted by last modified ...

The stability of the high-order finite volume method for hyperbolic systems is based on nonlinear procedures that prevent the creation of non-physical oscillations.Traditional techniques use the a priori paradigm where the procedure is carried out with the current time step solution. The a posteriori paradigm lies on an advanced in time candidate solution and a posterior evaluation of its stability, followed by...
