Climate walking: A comparison study of mobile weather stations and their releva...
Silva, Tiago; Ramusga, R.; Matias, Márcia; Amaro, J.; Bonifácio, Ana; Reis, Cláudia; Chokhachian, A.; Lopes, G.; Almeida, A.; Frazão, J.Microclimate conditions affect the outdoor urban way of life for humans. These conditions directly impact people’s health and well-being, such as access to medical care or a healthy lifestyle. Human thermal comfort is paramount for people’s health, both physical and mental. In this paper, the study compares two microclimate mobile weather stations (MWS) based on a set of users’-based assessment criteria (usabil...

Effects of exercise programs on phase angle in older adults: a systematic revie...
Martins, A.D.; Fernades, O.; Oliveira, R.; Bilro, V.; Lopes, G.; Rego, A.M.; Parraca, J. A.; Raimundo, A.M.; Brito, J.The purpose of this study was to calculate the effects of exercise programs on phase angle (PhA) in older people. A systematic review was undertaken in multiple electronic databases in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses statement guidelines for the purposes of selecting randomized controlled trials that measured the effects of the exercise programs on PhA in o...

Multi-agent system for dynamic scheduling
Firme, B.; Lopes, G.; Martins, M.; Coito, T.; Viegas, J.; Sousa, J.; Reis, J.; Figueiredo, Joao; Vieira, S.This paper proposes a flexible manufacturing system based on intelligent computational agents. A Multi-Agent System composed of 4 types of reactive agents was designed to control the operation of a real implementation in the Intelligent Automation Lab at Instituto Superior Tecnico. This implementation was ´ based and constructed analogously to a known benchmark, AIPPRIMECA. The agents were modelled using Petri ...
Factorial optimization of upstream process for Cyanobium sp. pigments production
Pagels, F.; Salvaterra, D.; Amaro, H.M.; Lopes, G.; Sousa-Pinto, I.; Vasconcelos, V.; Guedes, A.C.Cyanobacteria-based pigments, such as carotenoids and phycobiliproteins, have emerged in the last few years as products with great economical interest. However, only the production of a few strains has been optimized for large-scale productions. As photosynthetic components, pigments have their synthesis modulated by abiotic factors, such as pH, temperature and salinity, which can lead to a huge impact on cyano...
Carotenoids from cyanobacteria: A biotechnological approach for the topical tre...
Lopes, G.; Clarinha, D.; Vasconcelos V.In this study, five cyanobacteria strains (Alkalinema aff. pantanalense LEGE15481, Cyanobium gracile LEGE12431, Nodosilinea (Leptolyngbya) antarctica LEGE13457, Cuspidothrix issatschenkoi LEGE03282 and Leptolyngbya-like sp. LEGE13412) from the Blue Biotechnology and Ecotoxicology Culture Collection (LEGE CC) of CIIMAR were explored for their biotechnological potential in the treatment of psoriasis. Different ex...
Exploitation of filamentous and picoplanktonic cyanobacteria for cosmetic appli...
Morone, J.; Lopes, G.; Preto, M.; Vasconcelos, V.; Martins, R.The use of natural products in skin care formulations gained interest as a concern for modern societies. The undesirable side effects of synthetic compounds, as well as the associated environmental hazards, have driven investigation on photosynthetic organisms as sustainable sources of effective and environmentally friendly ingredients. The use of natural extracts in cosmetics has been highlighted and, along wi...
Bioactive potential of Cyanobium sp. pigment-rich extracts
Pagels, F.; Salvaterra, D.; Amaro, H.M.; Lopes, G.; Sousa-Pinto, I.; Vasconcelos, V.; Guedes, A.C.Cyanobacteria are able to synthesize high-value compounds, such as pigments, known for their bioactivities and several industrial uses. One of the key points for the extraction of pigments is solvent selection. Solvent interferes on pigments concentration, thus affecting the bioactive potential of the extracts. In this work, using frozen-dried biomass of Cyanobium sp. LEGE 06113, organic and aqueous pigment-ric...
Natural variation of selenium in Brazil nuts and soils from the Amazon region
