Descobrindo o Manto: decifrando a paleta e a técnica do pintor Gregório Lopes c...

Misericórdia de Sesimbra, cerca de 1535-1538, e actualmente no Núcleo Museológico da Capela do Espírito Santo de Sesimbra, é uma das obras mais importantes do artista, e a sua única pintura sobre esta temática, sendo, como tal, uma das pinturas mais significativas do século XVI em Portugal. A sua recente intervenção de conservação e restauro proporcionou a possibilidade de estudar materialmente a pintura pela p...

Portuguese consensus document for the management of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency

Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a genetic autosomal codominant disorder caused by mutations in SERPINA1 gene. It is one of the most prevalent genetic disorders, although it remains underdiagnosed. Whereas at international level there are several areas of consensus on this disorder, in Portugal, inter-hospital heterogeneity in clinical practice and resources available have been adding difficulties in re...

Effects of positive airway pressure therapy on cardiovascular and metabolic mar...

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with cardiovascular/ metabolic complications. Some analytical parameters (homocysteine, glycemic and lipidic profiles) are recognized markers of these consequences. Limited data is available on the association of these markers and OSAS’s severity/response to positive airway pressure therapy (PAP). Material and methods: In this prospective study...

From morphogenetic data to performative behaviour

This paper presents part of CORK’EWS, a research work developed within the framework of the Digital Architecture Advanced Program 2012/13 at ISCTE-IUL. The main goal of this investigation was to develop a parametric, customizable and adaptive wall system designed for environmental performance. Moreover, the system is based on standard industrial products: expanded cork blocks produced by Amorim Insulation indus...

Design of communication and control for swarms of aquatic surface drones

The availability of relatively capable and inexpensive hardware components has made it feasible to consider large-scale systems of autonomous aquatic drones for maritime tasks. In this paper, we present the CORATAM and HANCAD projects, which focus on the fundamental challenges related to communication and control in swarms of aquatic drones. We argue for: (i) the adoption of a heterogeneous approach to communic...

CORK'EWS: From microstructural composition into macrostructural performance

The main goal of this research was to develop a new, adaptable and personalized cork industrial product for environmental performance applications. The project started with the standard insulation products from Amorim Insulation Industries. Inspired on natural growth and performance, it found its basis on the observation of the properties and composition of natural cork, and explored cork anisotropy in a digita...
