Smart textiles for health monitoring in industrial environments: a framework fo...

The occupational health and safety of workers in industrial plants are increasingly compromised through exposure to thermal, physical, and psychological stressors. Wearable sensors embedded in garments have been introduced as a promising technology for real-time, continuous health monitoring without compromising workers' mobility or comfort. This paper reviews recent literature on wearable sensor technologies e...

Effect of Harsh Environmental Conditions on the Impact Response of Carbon Compo...

Composites are used in a wide range of engineering applications, as a result, exposure to hostile environments is rather common and its mechanical properties degradation is unavoidable. It is necessary to have a complete understanding of the impact of hostile environments on mechanical performance, namely critical solicitations as low velocity impacts. Therefore, this work intends to analyse the low velocity im...

Effect of Hostile Solutions on the Residual Fatigue Life of Kevlar/Epoxy Compos...

Due to the enormous benefits inherent to composite materials, they have been widely used in the most diverse fields of engineering. Therefore, it is not surprising that in many of these applications they can be exposed to hostile environments, which can affect the mechanical performance of such materials. Therefore, the main goal of this work was to study the effect of immersion into different hostile solutions...

Mechanical Properties of Sandwich Composites Reinforced by Nanoclays: An Overview

Structural sandwich composites have been widely used in many engineering applications, and this trend continues due to their superior mechanical properties, thermal insulation and acoustic damping. However, to further improve their mechanical properties, literature reports significant benefits obtained with nano-reinforcements. In this context, nanoclays are the most popular nano-reinforcements for polymeric na...

Psiquiatria Comunitária na Equipa da Brandoa - Realidade Assistencial em Dezem...

O Serviço de Psiquiatria do Hospital Prof. Doutor Fernando Fonseca, EPE (HFF) foi o primeiro serviço em Portugal com base no hospital geral a desenvolver um modelo integrado de cuidados de saúde mental na comunidade, orientado para as necessidades da população e apoiado em equipas multidisciplinares. Este modelo assenta na continuidade de cuidados pela mesma equipa, no seguimento assertivo dos doentes na comuni...

A política europeia de cooperação para o desenvolvimento: a ajuda externa encar...

A aplicação dos principios do federalismo fiscal tem atribuido à União Europeia competências no domínio da ajuda ao desenvolvimento. Do ponto de vista económico, a principal razão que justifica essa ajuda baseia-se na capacidade da UE poder intemalizar potenciais externalidades positivas com eliminação dos comportamentos do tipo free ríder (a relutância dos cidadãos em contribuir voluntariamente para a provisão...
