Impact of transferring arts dispensing from hospital to community pharmacies : ...
Borges, Margarida; Gouveia, M.; Costa, João; Fiorentino, Francesca; Sousa, R.; Jesus, G.; Teixeira Rodrigues, A.; Cary, M.; Guerreiro, J. P.Objectives: Currently, in Portugal, People Living with HIV (PLHIV) refill antiretroviral therapy (ART) at Hospital Pharmacies (HP). We aimed to assess the impact of transferring ARTs dispensing from HP to community pharmacies (CPs) in the Portuguese setting.
The disease burden of heart failure in Portugal
Jesus, G.; Fiorentino, R.; Ascenção, R.; Gouveia, M.; Costa, J.; Broeiro, P.; Fonseca, C.; Borges, M.Objectives: The objective of this study is to estimate the disease burden of Heart Failure (HF) in Portugal for 2014.MethOds: The HF burden was measured in Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY) resulting from the sum of Years Lost due to Disability (YLD) and Years of Life Lost (YLL) due to premature death. YLL were esti-mated based on the mortality rates reported by the European Detailed Mortality Database. For...
Operational forecast framework applied to extreme sea levels 1 at regional and ...
Fortunato, A. B.; Oliveira, A.; Rogeiro, J.; Costa, R.; Gomes, J. L.; Li., K; Jesus, G.; Freire, P.; Rilo, Ana; Mendes, A.; Rodrigues, M.; Azevedo, A.The design, implementation and demonstration of a novel and generic computational forecast framework for multi-scale prediction of extreme sea levels and associated flooding is presented. Denoted Water Information Forecast Framework (WIFF), it integrates process-based models for waves, tides and surges from regional to local scales, predicting the flooding of coastal areas, and supporting the routine and emerge...
An oil risk management system based on high-resolution hazard and vulnerability...
Azevedo, A.; Fortunato, A. B.; Epifânio, B.; Boer, S.; Oliveira, E.; Alves , F.; Jesus, G.; Gomes, J. L.; Oliveira, A.A new oil risk management system is proposed herein. Risk is computed in a quantitative way, combining a detailed hazard maps generated with a process-based oil spill model over an unstructured computational grid, and a spatially detailed methodology for vulnerability analysis. The system has a web interface that serves as a single point of access to both emergency-driven and risk-management products. The syste...

Freire, P.; Fortunato, A. B.; Rilo, Ana; Li., K; Costa, R.; Oliveira, A.; Jesus, G.; Gomes, J. L.; Rogeiro, J.; Pinto, P.; Cardoso, M. A.The final technical report of the project “MOLINES - Modelling floods in estuaries. From the hazard to the critical management” (ref. PTDC/AAG-MAA/2811/2012) is presented. The project was funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia) and took place between 2013 and 2016. The MOLINES project aims at improving knowledge on estuarine margins inundatio...
RealQual: Towards real-time high-resolution monitoring and prediction of water ...
Rodrigues, M.; Jesus, G.; Rogeiro, J.; Fortunato, A. B.; Gomes, J. L.; Oliveira, A.This report presents the main activities and results of the project RealQual: Towards real-time highresolution monitoring and prediction of water quality in estuaries and coastal areas, a collaborative project of the FLAD / NSF 2013, Portugal - U.S. Research Networks Program. RealQual aimed at developing the foundations of a quality-controlled network for real-time, high-resolution monitoring and prediction of ...
An interactive WebGIS observatory platform for enhanced support of integrated c...
Oliveira, A.; Jesus, G.; Gomes, J. L.; Rogeiro, J.; Azevedo, A.; Rodrigues, M.; Fortunato, A. B.; Dias, J. M.; Tomas, L. M.; Vaz, L.; Oliveira, E. R.A new WebGIS observatory platform is presented, tailored for risk assessment and emergency preparation and response in coastal areas. The tool combines a sophisticated forecast modeling system for multi-scale analysis of water bodies, including waves, hydrodynamics and oil spills prediction, with real-time monitoring networks for forcing and continuous validation purposes. Tailor-made visualization and analysis...
Deliverable 4.3.5 Real-time monitoring and forecast platform to support early w...
Oliveira, A.; Rogeiro, J.; Jesus, G.; Fortunato, A. B.; David, L. M.; Rodrigues, M.; Costa, J.; Mota, T.; Gomes, J. L.; Matos, R. S.Controlling urban floods and managing direct discharges of effluents into receiving waters from combined sewer overflows (CSO) are two major challenges faced by urban water management utilities. Discharges from large cities can have significant environmental impacts on marginal water bodies, affecting the quality of life in general, and recreational activities in particular (Marsalek and Rochfort, 2004; David a...
Assessment of the flow predictions from a large urban drainage model forced by ...
Mota, T.; David, L. M.; Rocha , A .; Jesus, G.; Oliveira, A.This paper assesses calibration and verification results of the Alcântara catchment model (Lisbon) and of the flow model forecasts forced by two different resolutions in Weather Forecasting: the 9 km WRF model from the Windguru website, available with just one forecast point in the catchment area, and the 5 km WRF model of the University of Aveiro, with an orthogonal grid of six forecast points. The accuracy of...
