Prevenção de agravos: violência, quedas, depressão e fragilidade
Nobre, Thaiza; Maia, Rodrigo; Maia, Eulália; Sposito, Giovana; Pergola-Marconato, Aline; Zangão, Otília; Gemito, Laurência; Chora, AntóniaNeste capítulo objetivou-se identificar os principais aspetos relacionados a prevenção de agravos à saúde dos idosos: violência, quedas, depressão e fragilidade. Encontra-se dividido nas seguintes partes: A violência na velhice e suas implicações para a saúde e qualidade de vida; A depressão na velhice; O impacto das quedas na saúde dos idosos; Síndrome da fragilidade e a promoção da saúde na velhice
On-off scheduling schemes for power-constrained electric vehicle charging
Fernandes, Xavier; Rebelo, Joana; Gouveia, João; Maia, Rodrigo; Bustorff Silva, NunoIn this paper, we study the problem of establishing a dynamic charging schedule of electric vehicles (EVs) at a charging station, assuming that limited power implies that only a limited number of EVs can charge simultaneously. The only control we assume to be available to the charging station is the ability to (at any given time) turn on or off the power supply to any EV, with this tool we want to develop a cha...
) Climate change impacts on rainfed agriculture in the Guadiana riverbasin (Por...
Valverde, Pedro; Carvalho, Mário; Serralheiro, Ricardo; Maia, Rodrigo; Ramos, Vanessa; Oliveira, BrunoIn this study, the crop yield response of rainfed crops to climate change was evaluated focusing on the most representative crops in the Guadiana river basin. The quantification of crop yields was performed using a simple soil water balance model framework. The herbaceous crop yields were evaluated with the ISAREG model, implementing a water balance approach combined with the Stewart method. A similar water bal...

Valverde, Pedro; Serralheiro, Ricardo; Carvalho, Mário; Maia, Rodrigo; Oliveira, Bruno; Ramos, VanessaThis study evaluates climate change potential impacts on irrigated agriculture in the Guadiana river basin, in the south of Portugal, by running long-term soil water balance simulations using the ISAREG model and taking into consideration the maximum potential yield. The ISAREG simulations were focused in as et of the most locally representative crops to assess the evolution of net and total water requirements,...
Socioeconomic Evaluation of Drought Effects. Main Principles and Application to...
Maia, Rodrigo; Vivas, Edurado; Serralheiro, Ricardo; Carvalho, MárioDrought situations can have significant impacts, affecting large areas and imposing relevant restrictions on multiple economic activities. The severity of those impacts is, normally, assessed through meteorological, agricultural and/or hydrological indices or even through estimation of water deficits or reduction of production yields (for agriculture). However, those assessments usually do not represent the soc...

Clear-water scour at comparatively large cylindrical piers
Lança, Rui; Fael, Cristina; Maia, Rodrigo; Pêgo, João; Cardoso, AntónioNew long-duration clear-water scour data were collected at single cylindrical piers with the objective of investigating the effect of sediment coarseness, Dp=D50 (Dp = pier diameter; D50 = median grain size) on the equilibrium scour depth and improving the scour depth time evolution modeling by making use of the exponential function suggested in the literature. Experiments were carried out for the flow intensit...
