Muography Applied in Underground Geological Surveys: Ongoing Work at the Lousal...

The LouMu Project is an ongoing collaboration between the Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics (LIP), the Institute of Earth Sciences—University of Évora and the Lousal Ciência Viva Center which is evaluating the muography potential in the Lousal Mine, with the general aim to create the conditions to use muography as a novel method for geophysical surveys in Portugal. The National Lab...

Muon tomography with Resistive Plate Chambers for geological characterization

Muon tomography is one of several fields of applied physics that have witnessed the successful use of particle detection based on Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC). In this work, we report on an innovative project concerning transmission muography for geological characterization. For this purpose, a muon telescope built of four RPC planes was mounted on an adjustable structure and the telescope's response to atmos...

Strain partitioning in transpression; a major feature in the evolution of the I...

As the wavy pattern of fold belts is a common feature, since its recognition, the transpressive regimes were expected to be a pervasive mechanism on their evolution. Nevertheless, even in regions where oblique shortening is inferred, typical structures of transpression (e.g. transected cleavage and en echelon folds, shear or veins) are often absent. Instead, what is frequently observed is the juxtaposition of n...

Guia da Geologia do Alto de São Bento

Desde o ano 2000 que funciona no Alto de São Bento, nos antigos moinhos de vento recuperados para o efeito e na área adjacente, um espaço municipal destinado a atividades, tanto lúdico-pedagógicas como de promoção do conhecimento científico, em particular o património florístico e o geológico. Este guia da geologia resulta desse investimento. O Alto de São Bento, como é conhecido por todos os eborenses, constit...

Role of distinct export strategies in regional growth. A multi-regional input-o...

The relationship between exports and economic growth is a critical aspect of contemporary economic policy at both national and regional levels. However, until recently, the lack of regional data has hindered comprehensive empirical analysis of trade at the regional level, limiting our understanding of why different strategies yield varying national and regional economic outcomes in terms of growth, income distr...

Plantas bioindicadoras. Emergencia primaveral con diferentes manejos del suelo

Apoyados en el concepto de que la distribución de las semillas es universal y que una semilla sólo germina cuando se crean las condiciones propicias para su germinación, se puede caracterizar el tipo de suelo a partir de la flora que está presente en él. A estas plantas que nos ayudan a conocer las características de un suelo se les llama “plantas bioindicadoras”. En una parcela de Sartaguda (Navarra) se dispus...

The impact of a health promotion program on toddlers' socio-emotional developme...

BACKGROUND: The first 3 years of life are a critical period for the development of socio-emotional skills, highlighting the importance of socio-emotional development in early childhood. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a health promotion intervention program on the socio-emotional development of children aged 12 to 42 months during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A total of 344 children from 15...

Global Stone Congress Book of Proceedings

This book contains the works presented at the seventh Global Stone Congress, held in Batalha, Portugal between 18 and 23 June 2023.

Application of resinous binders with incorporation of carbonated sludges from t...

The main objective of the Calcinata Project - Production of lime-based mortar from the calcination of carbonated sludge from the ornamental stone industry (marbles and limestone), was to present an alternative use for waste (slurries) from cutting and polishing carbonated ornamental rocks . The industrial application of this waste makes it possible to add value, transforming it into a by-product, thus contribut...
