Sectorization problems refer to dividing a large set, area, or network into smaller parts concerning one or more objectives. A decision support system (DSS) is a relevant tool for solving these problems, improving optimisation procedures, and finding feasible solutions more efficiently. This paper presents a new web-based Decision Support System for Sectorization (D3S). D3S is designed to solve sectorization pr...
Increased cardiometabolic risk is associated with abnormalities in blood biomarkers profile and adiposity measurements. Some substances found in the food matrix and the environment, called endocrine-disrupting chemicals, may impair cardiometabolic health in the early and later stages of life. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a food contaminant that migrates from food contact materials and may act as an endocrine disruptor,...
Background and aims: Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor widely used in food contact materials, has been linked to a worse health pro file. This study intends to estimate the association between BPA exposure and cardiometabolic patterns at adolescence. Methods and results: Data from the Portuguese population -based birth cohort Generation XXI at the age of 13 were used (n = 2386 providing 3 -day food diar...
