Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) provide a framework in which to evaluate the impact of prospective ocean-observation networks on model forecasting performance prior to their actual deployment. This study presents the design and validation of an OSSE tailored for the operational coastal model of southern Portugal, SOMA. The system adopts the fraternal twins approach and a univariate data-assimila...
This paper presents the Simulation Management System for Operational Coastal Hydrodynamic Models, or SMS-Coastal, and its novel methodology designed to automate forecast simulations of coastal models. Its working principle features a generic framework that can be easily configured for other applications, and it was implemented with the Python programming language. The system consists of three main components: t...
Plastic pollution has been observed in many marine environments surrounding the Iberian Peninsula, from the surface water to deeper waters, yet studies on their pathways and accumulation areas are still limited. In this study, a global ocean reanalysis model was combined with a particle-tracking Lagrangian model to provide insights into the pathways and accumulation patterns of microplastics originating in sout...
Diabetic retinopathy causes vascular damage to retinal neurons, presenting characteristics of chronic inflammation. The development of new therapies capable of combating vision loss involves knowledge of inflammatory retinal changes. Studies in animal models and patients with diabetes have shown a high expression of the inflammatory molecules that are involved in the progression of diabetic retinopathy. Uveal m...

Iniciado oficialmente em 1924, o Surrealismo é um herdeiro direto da linguagem simbolista e da revolução romântica, promotor da explosão dos sentidos e seguidor da livre associação das idéias e do inconsciente, sob o ditado do Desejo. Ah, o Desejo... Palavra que vem de desiderio, latim, tendo como raiz etimológica SID, do sânscrito, que deu sidéreo, sideral, e quer dizer estrela, luz. Luz era o sentido, a orien...
MENDONÇA,Fernando. No cinquentenário da presença, a literatura viva de José Régio. Revista de Letras, Fortaleza, v.1, n. 3, 1979, p.26-37.; Nas últimas pagmas que sobre si mesmo escreveu, páginas redigidas em agosto de 1969, ou seja, a escassos mes.es da sua morte, José Régio manifestava o seu agrado por a liter& tura portuguesa ser "uma literatura de personalidades". Personalidades que dificilmente, ou nunca, ...
