The Portuguese National Seismic Network —Products and Services
Carrilho, F.; Custodio, S.; Bezzeghoud, M.; Oliveira, C. S.; Marreiros, C.; Vales, D.; Alves, P.; Pena, A.; Madureira, G.; Escuer, M.; Silveira, G.Portugal, located in the southwest region of the Eurasian plate, has been affected by several destructive earthquakes throughout its history, the most well-known being the 1755 Great Lisbon earthquake. The seismicity of the territory, both in the mainland and in the Azores and Madeira islands, has prompted the continuous development of seis- mic monitoring, from the first known macroseismic inquiry, following t...
Vitamin K as a powerful micronutrient in aging and age-related diseases: pros a...
Simes, Dina; Viegas, Carla; Araujo, Nuna C. P.; Marreiros, C.Vitamin K is a multifunctional micronutrient implicated in age-related diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Although vitamin K-dependent proteins (VKDPs) are described to have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of these diseases, novel roles have emerged for vitamin K, independently of its role in VKDPs carboxylation. Vitamin K has been shown to act as an anti-inflammatory ...
ShakeMap: Combinação de observações instrumentais e macrossísmicas
Marreiros, C.; Carvalho, Sara; Alves, P. M.; Custódio, S.; Carrilho, F.Since 2008, the Portuguese seismological service, has implemented the ShakeMap software package provided by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in order to obtain reliable maps of peak ground motion parameters and seismic intensities for mainland Portugal. These maps identify the area affected by the earthquake and estimate the severity of ground shaking, thus providing important information for emergency response p...
