ABSTRACT: The present study focuses on the use of complementary numerical tools to support the development of a climate neutrality roadmap for Cascais, a coastal Portuguese city and one of the nine pilot cities in the Re-Value project. The results contribute to refining the roadmap and updating Cascais' long-term Territorial Transformation Plans to accelerate its journey to climate neutrality by 2050. For this,...
ABSTRACT: The importance of climate-neutral and smart cities was addressed by the European Commission (EU) through the financing program EU Missions, as a response to the urban and energy challenges to promote innovative solutions and strategies and to deliver tangible results by 2050. To manifest their Expressions of Interest to join the EU Cities Mission, several cities across Europe applied for funding to su...

The use of Pay-As-You-Throw systems is a reality in several cities throughout the globe, in some cases for several year by now. In Portugal, as well as many other countries around the Mediterranean, there have been only a few experiences and limited information exists regarding their performance. In this contribution, the results of a first stage towards an experimental PAYT system recently implemented in the m...
Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare malignant tumor that commonly develops in the upper nasal cavity. Standard treatment is not established, especially in locally advanced disease which portends the worse prognosis. Hereby, we report a case of a 27-year-old, 23-week pregnant woman, with a 2-month history of progressively growing right cervical lymphadenopathy, nasal obstruction, anosmia, frequent episodes of ...
This work, as a fieldtrip guide, aims to provide a glimpse into the palaeoenvironments, palaeontology, and diagenesis of one of the most productive areas for Late Jurassic dinosaurs and other vertebrates in Europe, namely, the sites of the Lourinhã Formation, which is coeval with the Morrison Formation of the midwest USA. The Late Jurassic rifting phase of the Lusitanian Basin created several sub-basins separat...
A doença celíaca tem vindo a ganhar relevância na sociedade, especialmente em países desenvolvidos, sendo cada vez maior a necessidade de desenvolvimento de produtos sem glúten. No entanto, muitos destes produtos, principalmente na área de pastelaria, não apresentam uma composição nutricionalmente saudável, tendo na sua maioria quantidades elevadas de lípidos e hidratos de carbono simples. Neste sentido, o obje...
In Portugal, updating municipal plans (1:10 000) is required every ten years. High spatial resolution imagery has shown its potential for detailed urban land cover mapping at large scales. However, shadows are a major problem in those images and especially in the case of urban environments. The purpose of this study is to develop a less time consuming and less expensive alternative approach to the traditional g...
