FamFac - A Database of Famous Faces for Psychology Experiments
Monteiro, Fábio; Rodrigues, Paulo; Santos, Isabel M.; Bem-Haja, Pedro; Rosa, Pedro J.High variation in the low-level proprieties of visual stimuli and varying degrees of familiarity with famous faces may have caused a bias in the results of investigations that tried to disentangle the processes involved in familiar and unfamiliar face processing (e.g., temporal differences in the detection of the first event-related potentials specialized in face processing may have been caused by different method...
Valorisation of waste cooking oils through conversion processes to biodiesel ca...
Monteiro, Fábio; Queiroz, Ana; Ribeiro, António E.; Brito, PauloTo date, fossil fuels prevail as the primary source of energy, with a high consumption in transport and industries, making them a major problem for our planet, given its weak environmental sustainability due to its high greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere and the limited reserves [1]. In this context, biodiesel emerges as a biofuel, biodegradable, environmentally sustainable and less toxic when compared ...
Valorization of waste cooking oils through conversion processes into biodiesel ...
Monteiro, FábioBiodiesel is a renewable alternative to fossil diesel, produced from vegetable oils, animal fats and residual oils. In the present work, the influence of the application of the ionic liquid 1-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [HMIM]HSO4 in the catalysis of transesterification/esterification reactions in a simulated acidic oil, obtained through the incorporation of oleic acid in a waste cooking oil, was studied...
Valorization of used cooking oils through ionic liquid catalyzed biodiesel conv...
Monteiro, Fábio; Queiroz, Ana; Ribeiro, António E.; Brito, PauloPopulation growth has been increasing dramatically in recent decades, with approximadetly 8 billion inhabitants worldwide.
Valorization of used cooking oils through ionic liquid catalyzed biodiesel conv...
Monteiro, Fábio; Queiroz, Ana; Ribeiro, António E.; Brito, PauloBiodiesel is defined as a natural and renewable substitute for fossil fuels and can be produced through the transesterification or by esterification reaction of free farry acids of a vegetable oil, animal fat or waste cooking ois, with an alcohol, usuallt methanol or ethanol in the presence of homogeneous, heterogeneous or enzymatics catalysts
Immunogenetic protective factors in Genetic Generalized Epilepsy
Chaves, João; Martins-Ferreira, Ricardo; Ferreira, Ana Marta; Brás, Sandra; Carvalho, Cláudia; Bettencourt, Andreia; Samões, Raquel; Monteiro, FábioBackground: Genetic Generalized Epilepsies (GGEs) are a heterogeneous group of syndromes characterized by generalized seizure activity that affects both hemispheres, with mainly genetic causes. Neuroinflammation has been established as an important mechanism in epileptogenesis. The ability to develop an appropriated immune response is strongly determined by immunogenetic factors. In this setting, our aim was to...
Indoor air quality in gyms - a case study in the county of Coimbra
Monteiro, Fábio; Ferreira, Ana; Moreira, FernandoIntroduction: The appearance of the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) as a Science appear in the 70's due to the energy crisis with consequent construction of private buildings. This vision only gained worldwide relief because of the discovery that a decrease in rates of air exchange in this type of buildings was the main cause for air increased pollutant concentration in the indoor air. Objetives: To evaluate the IAQ r...
