This paper focuses on the Vila Nova de Cerveira-Goián Defensive Subsystem, within a wider structured defensive network that runs along the border course of the Minho River Valley. Built along the borders of the Portuguese territory during the Restoration War (1640-1668), this landscape results from the advances, retreats and constant actions of attack and defence from both Iberian armies, evidencing successive ...

In this work, we show that epitaxially strained SrTiO3-δ thin films, grown by ion-beam sputtering onto (001)Nb: SrTiO3 substrates, exhibit a ferroelectric behavior. At the atomic-scale, through high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) images, it was possible to identify the presence of polar nanoregions with non-trivial polar topological structures in the SrTiO3-δ fil...

Durante a Guerra da Restauração (1640-1668), em Portugal, foi implementada uma rede de sistemas fortificados abaluartados ao longo da fronteira terrestre e atlântica. Partindo desta circunstância, este artigo toma o sistema defensivo abaluartado implementado ao longo do Vale do Rio Minho, concretamente sobre os elementos militares do concelho de Valença para identificar, caracterizar e debater práticas e técnic...
The sea cucumber Holothuria arguinensis (Koehler and Vaney, 1906) presents an increasing commercial value in Asian markets and its exportation depends exclusively on wild stock harvesting. Production through aquaculture has been acknowledged as an alternative to supply demand and reduce pressure on natural stocks, but there are still bottlenecks to overcome, such as low growth rate and survival. This study focu...
