Nonlinear Internal Tides in a Realistically Forced Global Ocean Simulation
Solano, Miguel S.; Buijsman, Maarten C.; Shriver, Jay F.; Magalhães, Jorge; Silva, Jorge da; Jackson, Christopher; Arbic, Brian K.; Barkan, RoyThe decay of the low-mode internal tide due to the superharmonic energy cascade is investigated in a realistically forced global Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model simulation with 1/25° (4 km) horizontal grid spacing. Time-mean and depth-integrated supertidal kinetic energy is found to be largest near low-latitude internal tide generation sites, such as the Bay of Bengal, Amazon Shelf, and Mascarene Ridge. The super...

Magalhães, Jorge; O Martins, Maria do Rosário; Hartz, ZulmiraThe 21st century has brought great challenges to the management of information and knowledge in all areas of science. In public health, there is a major issue due to problems of tropical diseases for developing countries and least developed countries. For developed countries, the same problem because of the appearance of reemerging diseases, climate change and the association with neglected diseases. On the oth...
Gallbladder Agenesis: A Case Report of an intraoperative diagnosis
Carvalho, Ana Cristina Silva; Santos Costa, Carlos; Correia, Pinto; Magalhães, Jorge; Brito, Diana; Martins, Marta da Cruz; Longras, CatarinaIntroduction: Agenesis of the gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly occurring in 10 to 65 per 100 000 people. Patients are usually asymptomatic and the diagnosis is made as an incidental finding during another abdominal surgery or at autopsy. The presence of biliary symptoms and a misleading ultrasound study can lead to unnecessary surgery. Case Presentation: We present a 43-year-old female proposed to lapar...
