Ethnographic interviews were carried out with artists and designers who attended the School of Fine Arts of Porto during the 1960s and 1970s, some of them later becoming professors; these interviews enabled the identification of best pedagogic...
This paper addresses the strategic and tactical planning of a downstream oil supply chain (DOSC) subject to different sources of uncertainty. This problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model, whereas uncertainty is tackled using chance constrained programming with fuzzy parameters. The MILP model aims at determining the network design and the products distribution plan in a cost-eff...

The dissemination of vector arthropods harbouring zoonotic pathogens through the uncontrolled transboundary trade of exotic and pet animals poses an important threat to Public Health. In the present report, we describe the introduction of pathogenic Rickettsia africae and R. aeschlimanni in ticks removed from imported tortoises in Qatar. A total of 21 ticks were collected from pet spur‐thighed tortoises (Testud...
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are common bacterial colonisers of the human skin. They are often involved in nosocomial infections due to biofilm formation in indwelling medical devices. While biofilm formation has been extensively studied in Staphylococcus epidermidis, little is known regarding other CoNS species. Here, biofilms from six different CoNS species were characterised in terms of biofilm co...
In documents from the 16th and 17th centuries we can read sometimes the expression “golden azulejos”. This is a matter that azulejo historians never fully studied but which raises interesting questions. Sometimes this expression could be related to azulejos in the “lusterware” technique, a secretive and complex process which allowed the ceramic surfaces to be decorated with gold and copper metallic shine. Anoth...
