Insights on microalgae-based technologies with potential impact on global metha...
Madureira, Leandro Filipe Feiteira; Soares, Ana Sofia Maciel; Duarte, Maria Salomé Lira; Pereira, Francisco; Francisco, DiogoThe European Unions Methane Action Plan outlined policies and targets supporting the Global Methane Pledge to cut CH4 emissions by 30% by 2030, yet urgent implementation is needed to treat medium and diluted CH4 streams. Microalgae-based technologies offer a groundbreaking solution, merging CH4 mitigation with biomass valorization to drive sustainable industrial practices. This review examines three key applica...
Multivariable optimization process of heterotrophic growth of Chlorella vulgaris
Geada, Pedro; Francisco, Diogo; Pereira, Francisco; Filipe Maciel; Madureira, Leandro; Barros, Ana; Silva, Joana L.; Vicente, A. A.; Teixeira, J. A.Microalgae have received increasing attention as one of the most promising feedstocks in the development of new healthier food products and different strategies have been attempted to improve their growth. However, the high production costs and low productivities, commonly associated with photoautotrophic growths, are still a big challenge. In this study, a two-step optimization strategy was carried out in orde...
Multivariable approach on growth of microalgae
Geada, Pedro; Madureira, Leandro; Francisco, Diogo; Maciel, Filipe; Silva, Joana L.; Vicente, A. A.; Teixeira, J. A.Despite the increasing interest in microalgal biomass and its high-value compounds, the number of products that successfully reach the market is still neglectable when compared to the high potential linked to these organisms. High production costs and low productivity both in terms of biomass and metabolites associated with microalgae growth are some of the causes hindering their widespread use and commercializ...
Examining the relation between the subjective and objective social status with ...
Rosário, Edite Vila Nova; Severo, Milton; Francisco, Diogo; Brito, Miguel; Costa, DiogoBackground: Assessing subjective social status (SSS) may be easily accommodated in the context of a Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS). To our knowledge, no prior studies have examined the association of SSS and health in Angola. Subjective socioeconomic measures may provide a rapid assessment of a relevant social status construct, important for studying health inequalities. In this study, we add...
HDSS profile: the Dande health and demographic surveillance system (Dande HDSS,...
Rosário, Edite Vila Nova; Costa, Diogo; Francisco, Diogo; Brito, MiguelAn HDSS aims to systematically and continuously monitor the dynamics of a specified population in a geographically defined area, which lacks an effective system for registering demographic information and vital events. An initial census defines the target population and later, through periodic updating rounds, births, deaths and migrations are monitored. The first HDSS was implemented in 1940 in South Africa. T...
