Whole-genome sequencing resolves a polyclonal outbreak by extended-spectrum bet...
Perdigão, João; Modesto, Ana; Pereira, A. L.; Neto, O.; Matos, V.; Godinho, A.; Phelan, Jody; Charleston, James; Spadar, AntonKlebsiella pneumoniae has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen, with whole-genome sequencing (WGS) significantly improving our ability to characterize associated outbreaks. Our study sought to perform a genome-wide analysis of multiclonal K. pneumoniae isolates (n=39; 23 patients) producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases and/or carbapenemases sourced between 2011 and 2016 in a Portuguese tertiary-care...
A novel way to automatically plan cellular networks supported by linear program...
Godinho, A.; Fernandes, D.; Soares, G.; Pina, P.; Sebastião, P.; Correia, A.; Ferreira, L. S.With the increasing number of mobile subscribers worldwide, there is a need for fast and reliable algorithms for planning/optimization of mobile networks, especially because, in order to maintain a network’s quality of service, an operator might need to deploy more equipment. This paper presents a quick and reliable way to automatically plan a set of frequencies in a cellular network, using both cloud technolog...

André, C.; Amendoeira, J.; Figueiredo, M. C.; Martins, M. R.; Pinto, C.; Nunes, M.; Rainha, L.; Godinho, A.; Ferreira, M.; Pintor, M.; Oliveira, M.Introduction Tobacco is the first preventable cause of morbidity and mortality, and should be targeted at younger age groups, with the school being considered as a privileged space for this intervention. The project “ Here4You - Footsteps…Building the future – Health Promoting School “ aims to enable 3rd cycle students to make responsible decision making in the prevention of tobacco consumption by building know...
Photocatalytic degradation of chlorophenols using Ru(bpy) 32+ /S2O 82-
Silva, M.; Burrows, H.; Formosinho, S.; Alves, L.; Godinho, A.; Antunes, M.; Ferreira, D.Abstract Advanced oxidation processes, such as photocatalysed oxidation, provide an important route for degradation of wastes. In this study, the lowest excited state (3MLCT) of Ru(bpy)32+ is used to break down chlorophenol pollutant molecules to harmless products. This has the advantage of using visible light and a short-lived catalytically active species. Photolysis of deaerated aqueous solutions of a variety...
