Relationship of dietary pattern with body composition and symptoms in patients ...
Novo, T.; Flora, S.; Lages, M.; Hipólito, N.; Cebola, Marisa; Guarino, M. P.; Cruz, J.This study explored the relationship of dietary patterns with body composition and symptoms in patients with COPD. Data collection included: dietary pattern – n. meals/day; period of the day of highest food intake (morning [6 AM–12 PM], afternoon [12–18 PM], and evening [18 PM–6 AM]); the time interval between meals (3-4h, 5-6h, 9-10h), and daily energy and nutrient intake using a semiquantitative food frequenc...
Obesidade, excesso de peso e sintomas no dia a dia de pessoas com doença pulmon...
Hipólito, N.; Flora, S.; Lages, M.; Novo, T.; Cebola, Marisa; Guarino, M. P.; Cruz, J.Introdução: A prevalência de obesidade na Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crónica (DPOC) apresenta dados inconsistentes entre países, variando entre 18% e 54%. Estudos anteriores mostram que a obesidade influencia negativamente a tolerância ao esforço destes doentes, em testes que exigem sustentação de peso (marcha). Deste modo, seria expectável que o aumento ponderal estivesse relacionado com um agravamento da sint...
Tuned liquid dampers simulation for earthquake response control of buildings
Novo, T.; Varum, H.; Teixeira-Dias, F.; Rodrigues, H.; Silva, M. J. Falcão; Costa, A. Campos; Guerreiro, L.This paper is focused on the study of an earthquake protection system, the Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD), which can, if adequately designed, reduce earthquake demands on buildings. This positive effect is accomplished taking into account the oscillation of the free surface of a fluid inside a tank (sloshing). The behaviour of an isolated Tuned Liquid Damper, subjected to a sinusoidal excitation at its base, with di...
