The diverse physiography of the Portuguese land and marine territory, spanning from continental Europe to the Atlantic archipelagos, has made it an important repository of biodiversity throughout the Pleistocene glacial cycles, leading to a remarkable diversity of species and ecosystems. This rich biodiversity is under threat from anthropogenic drivers, such as climate change, invasive species, land use changes...
Introduction: Our purpose was to evaluate the differences in metaglene positioning in deltopectoral and anterosuperior approach in total reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Methods: Patients who underwent total reverse shoulder arthroplasty for degenerative or traumatic pathology within a 10‐year period were selected. Two groups were created: group 1, deltopectoral approach; group 2, anterosuperior approach. The met...
This work explores the integration of visible light communication technology with urban traffic management systems. Using RGBV LEDs, Visible Light Communication facilitates real-time data collection – such as vehicle position, speed, queue length, and waiting time – through transmitters embedded in streetlights, traffic signals, and vehicle headlights. These enable multiple communication modes: vehicle-to-vehic...
The authors report the case of a male term newborn born after an uneventful monitored pregnancy. On physical examination, he presented with a light brown hyperpigmented homogeneous macule >15 cm in size compatible with a giant congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN). The boy was discharged with indication for Neonatology and Dermatology follow-up. Since then, he has shown adequate psychomotor growth and development ...
ABSTRACT: The Moatize Coalfield belongs to a network of continental Karoo basins of central Mozambique, known as the Zambezi Basin. Palynological and sedimentological studies were performed on four coal exploration boreholes to determine the age, depositional settings, and overall geological evolution of its extensive coal deposits. Clastic formations recognised in this coalfield, in ascending order, are the Vú...
ABSTRACT: Detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology of the Moatize and N'Condedzi coalfields in the Zambezi Karoo Basin of Mozambique provides key insights into the regional provenance, sediment dispersal pathways and basin evolution. Borehole cores from the two coalfields reveal a stratigraphy spanning the early Roadian (middle Permian) to the Carnian (Upper Triassic). The Permian sandstones of the Moatize Coalfield ...
