No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-02-17; National Science Foundation; We report results of a wideband search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars within the Orion spur towards both the inner and outer regions of our Galaxy. As gravitational waves interact very weakly with matter, the search is unimpeded by dust and conc...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-02-25; In this paper we present the results of the first low frequency all-sky search of continuous gravitational wave signals conducted on Virgo VSR2 and VSR4 data. The search covered the full sky, a frequency range between 20 and 128 Hz with a range of spin-down between -1.0×10-10 and +1.5×10-11 Hz/s, and wa...
RESUMO: No sentido de colmatar as lacunas existentes nos países do sul da Europa, nomeadamente ultrapassar o desafio da carência de formadores qualificados no Ensino e Formação Profissional (EPF) aptos a dar formação em competências “Verdes” na indústria da construção, foi lançado o projeto europeu BuS.Trainers. Foi financiado pelo programa ERASMUS+ e incluído na ação Aliança de Competências Setoriais (Sector S...

ABSTRACT: Green skills in the construction industry will fill in a very important role for the adaptation strategy to climate change and in development of more energy-efficient economies and employment growth to make EU states more climate-resilient. To get the most out of greening the economy vocational education research must develop the skills, knowledge and competence that resource-efficient processes and t...
Introduction: Certain aspects of the work design or the organization as well as the social context of work may lead to negative physical, psychological and social outcomes. These aspects are considered psychosocial risks. Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece are facing the biggest consequences of the economic crisis with psychosocial risks being exacerbated. In these countries, small and medium enterprises play a...
Concrete structures all over the world are reaching the end of their service life sooner than expected. This is due to the fact that ordinary Portland cement-based concrete deteriorates under environmental actions and also that structural inspections and conservation actions are expensive. Besides, as they consume energy and non-renewable resources, they have negative environmental impacts. Self-sensing concret...
Many plant species grown under in vitro con- trolled conditions can be used as models for the study of physiological processes. Adult pineapple can display CAM physiology while in vitro it functions as a C3 plant. Ex vitro Ananas comosus has plastic morphology and physi- ology, both easy to modify from C3 to CAM by changing the environmental conditions. The yield of survival for a rentable propagation protocol ...
Carbon-fiber concrete (CFC) materials are gaining momentum due to the reduction of carbon fiber cost and also to the sensing performance of carbon fiber reinforced concrete based structures. For carbon fiber concrete electrical resistance increases with tensile stress and decreases upon compression. Therefore CFC can act as self-monitoring strain sensor. Nevertheless, fiber incorporation is responsible for a lo...
