"Heaps of meanings": A multidimensional approach to metaphorical expressions
Mateus, Inês; Mendes Oliveira, Helena; Teixeira, José; Soares, Ana PaulaIn the public discourse, if a manager is described as being above their employees or a queen is referred to as “her royal highness”, we tend to understand both expressions as cues of powerful positions, disregarding the explicit verticality of their meaning. Similarly, if a friend or family member calls to confess to a lie and goes on to say they feel lighter, we do not genuinely assume they have lost weight si...
Feel Inside
Mateus, Inês; Dâmaso, Laura; Godinho, MargaridaFeel Inside is an interaction design project focused on home-dweller interaction, through artificial emotional intelligence. The present project aims to deepen and speculate about a technological future around smart homes, and to explore various subjects in the domain of artificial intelligence and affective computing. Always keeping in mind the current direction of modern technology, the possibilities and futu...

Neves, Pedro Soares; Bazargan, Nasim Valizadeh; Caymaz, Gökçen Firdevs Yücel; Mousavi, Mirnajaf; Ghalehteimouri, Kamran Jafarpour; Hekmatnia, HassanOn the 2020 conference was in fact proven that the consistency of knowledge and structure of thought in the several disciplinary areas regarding the urban creativity topics, are giving way to multiple approaches to classes integrated in master courses, informing the teaching of art historians, the work of designers, and research of cognitive scientists and educators. It was evident that this trend will continue...
Glucose and glutamine handling in the Sertoli cells of transgenic rats overexpr...
Mateus, Inês; Feijó, Mariana; Espínola, Luís M; Vaz, CV; Correia, Sara; Socorro, SílviaSertoli cells (SCs) possess the unparalleled ability to provide the germ line with growth factors and nutrients. Although SCs can oxidize amino acids, e.g., glutamine, they mostly metabolize glucose, producing high amounts of lactate, the germ cells preferential substrate. Regucalcin (RGN) is a calcium-binding protein that has been indicated as a regulator of cell metabolism. In this study, we investigated gluc...

Martinho, Ana Paula; Rodrigo, Ana; Vicente, Ana; Machado, Ausenda; Dias, Carlos Matias; Guiomar, Carla Sofia; Gonçalves, Cátia; Paixão, EleonoraSado River estuary is located in the west coast of Portugal. Previous environmental studies identified industrial contamination, non-point anthropogenic sources and contamination coming from the river, all promoting accumulation of polluted sediments with known impacts on the ecological system. Surrounding human populations have intense economic fishery activities. Together with agriculture, estuary fishing pro...
