Digital health literacy: comparing factor structures of the portuguese eHEALS u...
Silva, Cláudia; Alves Lopes, António; Azevedo, Vitor Hugo; Lopes, Francisco; Ribeiro, Leonardo; Dias, TomásBackground and Objectives: Digital health literacy is essential for navigating digital health environments safely, particularly for future health professionals. Validated assessment tools are crucial for understanding competency levels and guiding educational interventions. This study evaluated the construct validity and internal consistency of the Portuguese version of the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) among...

The Arrifes geosite: a fascinating glimpse into an Early Cretaceous ecosystem w...
Pereira, H. J. R.; Lopes, Francisco; Pérez-Cano, J.; Santos, Vanda Faria dos; Malafaia, Elisabete; Mendes, Márcia; Pereira, Zélia; Sweetman, Steven C.ABSTRACT: Over a century after Paul Choffat's initial description of the Arrifes section, a pioneering figure in Portuguese geology who highlighted the vertical arrangement of the strata and the occurrence of a limestone bed containing a copious quantity of orbitolinid tests, this upper Barremian–lower Aptian stratigraphic succession, which is fully exposed along a coastal cliff section located 2.5 km west-sout...
Predicted Direct Solar Radiation (ECMWF) for Optimized Operational Strategies o...
Lopes, Francisco; Conceição, Ricardo; Fasquelle, Thomas; Silva, Hugo G.; Salgado, Rui; Canhoto, Paulo; Collares-Pereira, ManuelDay-ahead forecasts of direct normal irradiance (DNI) from the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), the global model of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), are used to simulate a concentrating solar power (CSP) plant through the System Advisor Model (SAM) to assess the potential value of the IFS in the electricity market. Although DNI forecasting from the IFS still demands advances t...
Solar Irradiation Data Processing using estimator MatriceS (SIMS) validated for...
Silva, Hugo G.; Abreu, Edgar F.M.; Lopes, Francisco; Cavaco, Afonso; Canhoto, Paulo; Neto, Jorge; Collares-Pereira, ManuelAccurate solar resource assessment is essential in all the different phases of solar energy systems design and implementation. On a local scale, the solar resource is best assessed from ground measurements and, if available, with the existence of complete time-series of hourly values for the long-term resource estimation. However, these usually suffer from the occurrence of data gaps that can be as large as sev...

Development of a Simple Methodology Using Meteorological Data to Evaluate Conce...
Tavares, Ailton M.; Conceição, Ricardo; Lopes, Francisco; Silva, Hugo G.Evaluation of the Concentrating Solar Power capacity factor is critical to support decision making on possible regional energy investments. For such evaluations, the System Advisor Model is used to perform capacity factor assessments. Among the required data, information concerning direct normal irradiance is fundamental. In this context, the Engerer model is used to estimate direct normal irradiance hourly val...
Improved ECMWF forecasts of direct normal irradiance: A tool for better operati...
Lopes, Francisco; Conceição, Ricardo; Silva, Hugo; Salgado, Rui; Collares-Pereira, ManuelTo contribute for improved operational strategies of concentrating solar power plants with accurate forecasts of direct normal irradiance, this work describes the use of several post-processing methods on numerical weather prediction. Focus is given to a multivariate regression model that uses measured irradiance values from previous hours to improve next-hour predictions, which can be used to refine daily stra...
Understanding the impact of introducing Lambda expressions in Java Programs
Lucas, Walter; Fortes, José; Lopes, Francisco; Marcílio, Diego; Bonifácio, Rodrigo; Canedo, Edna; Lima, Fernanda; Saraiva, JoãoBackground: The Java programming language version eight introduced several features that encourage the func tional style of programming, including the support for lambda expressions and the Stream API. Currently, there is a common wisdom that refactoring legacy code to introduce lambda expressions, besides other potential benefits, simplifies the code and improves program comprehension. Aims: The purpose of th...
