The double cantilever beam test applied to mode I fracture characterization of ...
Lopes, A. C.; Silva, E. C.; Dourado, N.; de Moura, M. F.S.F.; Sampaio, Álvaro M.; Pontes, A. J.In recent years, parts produced by Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology have aroused growing interest due to their valuable potential for end-use applications. However, to ensure the applicability of SLS products for advanced structural purposes, an accurate characterization of their mechanical behaviour is essential, which includes the assessment of fracture performance. Thus, cohesive zone modelling tha...
Energy prices forecasting using GLM
Teodoro, M. F.; Andrade, M.; Silva, E. C.; Borges, A.; Covas, R.The work described in this article results from a problem proposed by the company EDP - Energy Solutions Operator, in the framework of ESGI 119th, European Study Group with Industry, during July 2016. Markets for electricity have two characteristics: the energy is mainly no-storable and volatile prices at exchanges are issues to take into consideration. These two features, between others, contribute significant...
Physicochemical characterization of a crude anthocyanin extract from the fruits...
Favaro, L. I. L.; Balcão, Victor M.; Rocha, L. K. H.; Silva, E. C.; Oliveira Jr., J. M.; Vila, Marta M. D. C.; Tubino, M.In the present research effort, production of a crude anthocyanin extract from the fruits of jussara (Euterpe edulis Martius) was pursued. The physico-chemical characteristics of the crude anthocyanin extracts were evaluated via Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, computed tomography via X-ray transmission, UV-Vis spectrophotometric scannings, differential scanni...
Insights into protein-ionic liquid interactions aiming at macromolecule deliver...
Harada, L. K.; Pereira, J. F. B.; Campos, W. F.; Silva, E. C.; Moutinho, Carla G.; Vila, Marta M. D. C.; Oliveira Jr., J. M.; Teixeira, J. A.Over the last few years, researchers have started to explore a particular class of compounds defined as ionic liquids (ILs) in attempts to use their unique characteristics. Since ILs have a very low vapor pressure, these fascinating compounds hold great potential as high performance chemicals for several applications in the (bio)pharmaceutical industry. In general, and unlike common organic solvents with compar...
Produção orgânica: predileção de consumo e potencialidades do seguimento em For...
Oliveira, C. S. P.; Lima, A. F.; Silva, E. C.; Andre, W. P. P.; Andre, T. P. P.Este trabalho objetivou investigar o perfil de consumidores de produtos orgânicos, bem como sua forma de aquisição e quais as preferências que influenciam no momento de decidir sobre a compra. O presente estudo foi desenvolvido durante a VIII FECEAF – Feira Cearense da Agricultura Familiar – em Fortaleza, Ceará, durante julho de 2015, totalizando 100 sujeitos amostrais. Foram respondidas questões objetivas refe...

On the other hand, soil str...
The power of prediction: robots that read intentions
Bicho, E.; Erlhagen, Wolfram; Sousa, Emanuel; Louro, Luís; Hipólito, Nzoji; Silva, E. C.; Silva, R.; Ferreira, Flora; Machado, T.; Hulstijn, M.Humans are experts in cooperating in a smooth and proactive manner. Action and intention understanding are critical components of efficient joint action. In the context of the EU Integrated Project JAST [16] we have developed an anthropomorphic robot endowed with these cognitive capacities. This project and respective robot (ARoS) is the focus of the video. More specifically, the results illustrate crucial cogn...
(Re)Conciliação dos usos do tempo: Imigração, Género e Trabalho-Família.
Silva, E. C.; Nogueira, C.; Neves, S.A conciliação entre a vida familiar e profissional é uma temática estreitamente relacionada com as mudanças sociais, em particular com a integração das mulheres no mercado de trabalho e a progressiva alteração dos papéis de género. Apesar destas mudanças importa pensar os valores e normas sociais relacionados com o papel das mulheres na educação e na família, como conciliar o trabalho necessário com as responsa...
