Does elite European match-play affect salivary immunoglobulin- a and cortisol i...
Morgans, R.; Oliveira, Rafael; Rhodes, D.; Orme, P.; Ceylan, H. I.; González-Fernández, F. T.; Linán-González, A.; Moreira, A.Introduction: The aims of this study were to: a) investigate salivary immunoglobulin A (s-IgA) and cortisol (s-Cort) responses to nine competitive fixtures in starting and non- starting soccer players; and b) compare s-IgA and s Cort responses of starters and non-starters considering match outcome. Methods: Saliva from 19 male outfield players from an elite soccer team (mean ± SD, age 26 ± 4 years; weight 80.5 ...
Evaluation of MCP correlation algorithms applied to wind data series
Moreira, A.; Rocha, T.; Mendonça, J.; Pilão, R.; Pinto, P.(Objectives) This work aimed to develop methodologies for analyzing statistical correlations among wind data series using various Measure-Correlate-Predict (MCP) methods, with the goal of selecting the most suitable method for extrapolating long-term data with minimal associated uncertainty. Furthermore, the study intends to investigate how the concurrent period used to build the correlation can affect the perf...
Evaluation of MCP Correlation Algorithms Applied to Wind Data Series
Moreira, A.; Rocha, T.; Mendonça, J.; Pilão, R.; Pinto, P.This work aimed to develop methodologies for analysing statistical correlations among wind data series using various Measure-Correlate-Predict (MCP) methods, with the goal of selecting the most suitable method for extrapolating long-term data with minimal associated uncertainty. It was analysed the minimum time required for a wind measurement campaign when applying this methodology. Fifteen local wind measureme...
Rumo ao mar: Avaliação da migração dos juvenis de salmão-do-atlântico (Salmo sa...
Silva, S.S.; Alexandre, C.M.; Honrado, L.; Mateus, C.M.; Quintella, B.R.; Lança, M.J.; Rato, A.S.; Oliveira, I.C.; Oliveira, R.; Moreira, A.O salmão-do-atlântico (Salmo salar L., 1758) é uma espécie piscícola migradora icónica dos ecossistemas aquáticos, com um elevado valor económico e cultural, cuja área de distribuição se localiza desde o mar Báltico até ao norte da Península Ibérica. Em Portugal, as populações de salmão encontram-se no limite sul da sua distribuição e, portanto, em condições sub-ótimas associadas com o regime térmico e variaçõe...
Rapid response Task Force: addressing the detection of Aedes albopictus in Lisb...
Grau-Pujol, B.; Moreira, A.; Vieira Martins, J; Costa Osório, H; Ribeiro, L.; Dinis, A.; Sousa, C.; Alves, M. João; Leite, P. Pinto; Vasconcelos, P.Issue: The invasive Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are spreading in southern Europe and pose a heightened risk of mosquito-borne diseases, like Dengue and Chikungunya. On September 2023, A. albopictus was first identified in Lisbon through community-based surveillance and a multidisciplinary national Task Force (TF) was convened. Description of the problem: The TF included experts in epidemiology, entomology, envi...
Mapping Science Communication in Higher Education in Portugal: A Systematic Evi...
Guerra, C.; Moreira, A.; Pombo, Pedro; Galvão, Cecília; Faria, Cláudia; Granado, António; Sanchez, Ana; Paiva, J. C.; Carvalho, PauloScience communication training plays a crucial role in enabling scientists to effectively connect with the public, emphasizing essential skills such as building trust in scientific and technological advancements. Despite significant progress, some studies show a notable deficiency in higher education (HE) institutional structures and mechanisms dedicated to science communication training, addressing a diverse a...
Assessing the detection of floating plastic litter with advanced remote sensing...
de Fockert, A.; Eleveld, M. A.; Bakker, W.; Felício, J. M.; Costa, T. S.; Vala, M.; Marques, P.; Leonor, N.; Moreira, A.; Costa, J. R.Remote sensing technologies have the potential to support monitoring of floating plastic litter in aquatic environments. An experimental campaign was carried out in a large-scale hydrodynamic test facility to explore the detectability of floating plastics in ocean waves, comparing and contrasting different microwave and optical remote sensing technologies. The extensive experiments revealed that detection of pl...
Macro-habitat suitability for threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L....
Moreira, A.; Boavida-Portugal, J.; Almeida, P.R.; Silva, S.; Alexandre, C.M.The threespine stickleback is a freshwater fish listed as endangered in Portugal, near the southern limit of the species global distribution. However, few measures have been proposed aiming at the conservation of this species in suboptimal environments. From existing databases and specific sampling campaigns, we obtained occurrence data of threespine stickleback for a total of 646 sites. The occurrence data, to...
Bioinsecticide SPINTOR®: detrimental effects on earthworms Eisenia fetida at di...
Moreira, A.; Nogueira, V.; Bouguerra, S.; Rodrigues, S.Background: The increasing interest in sustainable agricultural practices led to the use of biopesticides instead of synthetic ones [1]. SPINTOR® (SPI) is a commercialized bioinsecticide that employs spinosad as its active ingredient, a natural by-product obtained from the Saccharopolyspora spinosa fermentation [2]. Although effective in controlling several pests, SPI also can present inadvertent effects on non...
