Stunning challenges: operational indicators flag failures, but neurological val...
Gräns, Albin; Cabrera-Álvarez, María José; Oliveira, Gonçalo; Saraiva, João; Arechavala-Lopez, Pablo; Bortoletti, Martina; Schwerte, ThorstenHumane slaughter in aquaculture depends on accurate assessments of insensibility, yet commonly used operational indicators remain poorly validated against neurological benchmarks. This study compared operational indicators such as the loss or recovery of equilibrium, ’eye-roll’ reflex, and ventilation reflex with visually evoked responses (VERs) in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and gilthead seabream (...
Virtual reality exposure therapy for Arachnophobia: A pilot study
Lopes, Inês; Almeida, Raquel Simões de; Gomes, Paulo Veloso; Sá, Vítor J.; Oliveira, Gonçalo; Marques, António; Machado Veloso Gomes, Paulo SérgioArachnophobia is a chronic disorder leading to significant avoidance of spider-related situations. This pilot study examines the effectiveness of Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) for treating arachnophobia. The study included 25 participants who completed fear questionnaires and avoidance tests before, after and two weeks after the intervention. The intervention consisted of a session of progressive expo...
Implementation and playtesting for a world adventure game’s procedural content ...
Sousa, João Paulo; Oliveira, Gonçalo; Barbedo, Inês; Barroso, Bárbara; Tavares, Rogério Júnior Correia; Lopes, Rui PedroThis paper presents an experimental methodology of procedural content generation (PCG) for natural environments focusing on game design and visualization. This approach allows us to define a set of instructions to shape the content generation to meet the requirements of game design and level design teams. For the validation process, we have discussed and analyzed a playtesting session.
A rule based procedural content generation system
Oliveira, Gonçalo; Almeida, Lucas; Sousa, João Paulo; Barroso, Bárbara; Barbedo, InêsThis paper presents a new method of procedural content generation (PCG) for natural environments and objects (such as terrain, biomes, river, and vegetation), with special attention to game design and visual aesthetic. Our solution allows us to define a set of rules to control the content generation to meet the requirements of game design and level design teams.
A rule based procedural content generation system
Oliveira, Gonçalo; Almeida, Lucas; Sousa, João Paulo; Barbedo, Inês; Barroso, BárbaraThis paper introduces new ways and experimental results of procedural content generation (PCG) for natural objects (such as terrain, biomes, river, and vegetation), with special attention to the game design and aesthetic visualization. Our solution allows us to define a set of rules to control the content generation in order to meet the requirements of game design and level design teams. In this paper we focuse...
Are there differential roles in the parental behaviour of the chameleon cichlid...
Oliveira, Gonçalo; Saraiva, João; Jesus, Nuno F.; Guerreiro, Pedro MiguelCichlids are social fishes well known for their complex behaviour. The chameleon cichlid, Autraloheros facetus, is native to South American river drainages and is currently established in several Mediterranean-type drainages in southern Portugal as an invasive species. Their high local recruitment, territorially, and parental care activities are possible advantages in competing with native fish and achieving hi...
Tracheotomy in COVID-19 patients: Analysis of outcomes and comparison with non ...
Lombo, Catarina; Gonçalves Cardoso, Rita; Oliveira, Gonçalo; Matos, Carlos; Fonseca, RuiAims: Analysis of tracheotomies performed in COVID-19 patients and comparison with those performed in patients with non-COVID-19 pneumonias Study Design: Retrospective cohort study Material and Methods: Review of the clinical data of patients who underwent surgical tracheotomy for pneumonia from January 2015 to February 2021 Results: 15 tracheotomies were performed in COVID-19 patients and 13 in non-COVID-19 pa...
Concise notes on Special Holonomy with an emphasis on Calabi–Yau and G_2-Manifolds
Oliveira, GonçaloThese are notes for a very short introduction to some selected topics on special Riemannian holonomy with a focus on Calabi-Yau and G2-manifolds. No material in these notes is original and more on it can be found in the papers/books of Bryant, Hitchin, Joyce and Salamon referenced during the text.
Feasibility of chitosan crosslinked with genipin as biocoating for cellulose-ba...
Oliveira, Gonçalo; Gonçalves, Idalina; Nunes, Cláudia; Ferreira, Paula; Coimbra, Manuel A.; Martin, Céline; Bras, JulienCrosslinking with genipin increases the acidic stability of chitosan-based materials, opening an opportunity to explore new applications. In this work, the viability of using chitosan-genipin solutions on cellulose-based materials coating was studied. Non-calendered paper and cardboard were used as raw materials. Different number of chitosan-genipin coating layers (1, 3, 6, 20, and 30) were applied and their in...
