Exercise stress testing in the 21st century

Publisher Copyright: © 2025 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia; Until recent decades, exercise testing with electrocardiographic monitoring (ET) was a fundamental test to evaluate individuals with suspected or known cardiovascular disease (CVD). Since its inception, the landscape of CVD has profoundly changed; classical indications such as the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease have been progressively superse...

How different are conventional and biofuel sprays applied to aviation? An infod...

The transition from fossil to sustainable and alternative fuels is imperative to address environmental concerns and meet energy requirements. Thus, the implementation of alternative fuels requires a deeper investigation of spray behavior. This study explores conventional jet fuel (Jet A-1) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) in terms of breakup length and spray dynamics over a wide range of operating condition...

Verde por fora, cinza por dentro: os perigos do greenwashing na era da consciên...

This article explores the phenomenon of greenwashing, analyzing its origins, business motivations and social impact. It presents an example of a critical organizational case, such as H&M, and a successful case, exemplified by Patagonia. It also offers guidance on how to avoid falling into this type of strategy and promote more sustainable practices. The aim is to raise awareness of this issue and highlight ...

Temporal Changes in Migratory Seabird Abundance on the Portuguese Coast Reveale...

Las aguas portuguesas son un corredor migratorio vital para las aves marinas europeas. Los conteos desde la costa pueden monitorizar poblaciones globales y locales de aves marinas, así como estudiar sus tendencias a largo plazo. Hemos empleado el TRIM (Tendencias e Índices para Monitorear Datos) y los Modelos General Aditivos (GAM) en diez años de un conjunto de datos de ciencia ciudadana de conteos de aves mar...

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in clinical practice: principles, applications...

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides a noninvasive and integrated assessment of the response of the respiratory, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems to exercise. This information improves the diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapeutic management of several clinical conditions. Additionally, CPET is the gold standard test for cardiorespiratory fitness quantification and exercise prescrip...

Influence of aluminum nanoparticles in alternative fuel: Single droplet combust...

In this work, the effect of adding aluminum nanoparticles on hydrotreated vegetable oil was investigated experimentally and numerically in terms of nanofuel stability and single droplet combustion. The purpose is to understand the phenomena related to isolated droplet combustion when metallic particles are added to a liquid biofuel. Falling droplet combustion experiments were conducted in a drop tube furnace at...

Assessment of Biomass and Biochar of Maritime Pine as a Porous Medium for Water...

Pinewood biomass in Portugal can be considered a major source of biochar for soil physical, chemical, and biological edaphic amendment. This work intended to evaluate the aptitude of lab produced biochar for upgrading soil moisture dynamics’ relationships considering mixtures of biochar with silica-based sand. The methodology used focused on the carbonization of pine biomass with inert atmosphere at 300 C, 400 ...

The Addition of Particles to an Alternative Jet Fuel

The expansion of the research on nanoscale particles demonstrates several advantages in terms of stability and an increased surface area to volume ratio compared to micron-sized particles. Based on this, the present work explores the addition of aluminum particles in hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), an alternative jet fuel. To evaluate the influence of particle sizes, nano and micron particles (40 nm and 5 μm)...
