A note on the Gumbel convergence for the Lee and Mykland jump tests
Nunes, J.; Ruas, J.The Lee and Mykland (2008, 2012) nonparametric jump tests have been widely used in the literature but its critical region is stated with reference to the asymptotic distribution of the maximum of a set of standard normal variates. However, such reference would imply a typo (of a non-negligible order) for the norming constants adopted. By using the asymptotic distribution of the maximum of a set of folded normal...
Alpha-tocopherol content on the semimembranosus muscle of Alentejano pigs reare...
Neves, J.; Freitas, A.; Martins, J.; Nunes, J.This trial was undertaken to determine the effect of the rearing system (intensive vs. extensive) over the content of antioxidants (alpha-tocopherol) in the meat of Alentejano pigs. Sixteen Alentejano pigs with an average body weight (BW) of 60 kg were divided in two groups: Group I (n=10) was allocated in open-air individual pens, while Group II (n=6) was maintained in a 3 ha natural pasture. Both groups were ...

Energy transition process and community engagement on geographic islands: the c...
Pacheco, André; Monteiro, Jânio; Santos, Joni; Sequeira, Claudia; Nunes, J.Islands have the potential to be precursors in the transition to clean energy, by adopting new technologies and applying innovative solutions that can serve as showcases at an international level. This paper is a contribution towards understating the importance of community engagement on energy transition processes. It covers multiple aspects of a green transition process, including technical, environmental, so...
Antibacterial and antioxidant potential of aqueous extracts of bio-residues fro...
Sousa, A. S.; Marçal, S.; Costa, C.; Ferreira, I.; Barros, J.; Nunes, J.; Freitas, A. C.; Morais, A. M. M. B.; Pintado, M.The production of fresh mushrooms results in a large quantity of bio-residues, which may account for more than 20% of a crop volume and contributes to production costs and environmental impact, if not used. These products consist mainly of stalks, mushrooms of irregular dimensions and shape and basal material. Thus, the main objective of MicoBioExtract project is the valorisation of these bio-residues and the d...

Education and innovation - vet students into technology companies
Gómez-Estrada, Laura; Pietra, L.; Zoli, C.; Soriano Martínez, A.; Karampelas, P.; Almeida, A. M.; Nunes, J.; Martínez Ardil, J. M.VET education is an effective and accessible way for students, to improve their employability and inclusion possibilities. It allows them to train technically in a short time to do a job and try to access the labor market. However, not even obtaining a qualification aimed at vocational training ensures access to the labor market or real possibilities of emancipation. The success of VET graduates in their first ...
Pricing longevity derivatives via Fourier transforms
Bravo, J. M.; Nunes, J.Longevity-linked derivatives are one of the most important longevity risk management solutions for pension schemes and life annuity portfolios. In this paper, we decompose several longevity derivatives—such as geared longevity bonds and longevity-spread bonds—into portfolios involving longevity options. For instance, we show that the fair value of an index-based longevity swap can be broken down into a portfoli...
