Identifying imprints of externally derived dust and halogens in the sedimentary...
Moreno, J.; Ramos, A. M.; Raposeiro, P. M.; Santos, R. N.; Rodrigues, T.; Naughton, F.; Moreno, F.; Trigo, R. M.; Ibañez-Insa, J.; Ludwig, P.; Shi, X.Iberian lacustrine sediments are a valuable archive to document environmental changes since the last glacial termination, seen as key for anticipating future climate/environmental changes and their far-reaching implica -tions for generations to come. Herein, multi-proxy-based indicators of a mountain lake record from Serra da Estrela were used to reconstruct atmospheric (in)fluxes and associated climatic/enviro...
Almacenamiento de mango secado: análisis fisicoquímico, microbiológico, color y...
Reis, R. C; Ramos, A. M.; Regazzi, A. J.; Minim, V. P. R.; Stringueta, P. C.Mango slices dehydrated at 60 and 70 °C were vacuum-packed in PVDC and PETmet/PE and evaluated by means of physicochemical, colorimetric, carotenoid content, microbiological and sensorial analyses along 120 storage days at room temperature (25 + 5 °C) and sunlight. Color was altered during storage, as verified through the coordinates L*, a* and b* and total carotenoid content. A greater red intensity reduction ...
Effect of ultrasound and chemical compounds on microbial contamination, physico...
Medeiros, H. S.; Andrade, N. J. de; Ramos, A. M.; Vanetti, M. C. D.; São José, J. F. B. deIn this study, different sanitization methods were evaluated to understand their effects on the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of cherry tomatoes stored at 7°C. Microbiological analysis showed that treatment with silver nanoparticles at 6 mg/L in combination with ultrasound treatment demonstrated a significant reduction in the assessed microorganism content of the cherry tomatoes. There wer...
Analysis of the mouse high‐growth region in pigs
Pita, R. H.; Ramos, A. M.; Malek, M.; Lopes, P. S.; Guimarães, S. E. F.; Rothschild, M. F.In the mouse, homozygous animals for the high growth mutation show a 30–50% increase in growth without becoming obese. This region is homologous to the distal part of pig chromosome 5 (SSC5). A previous genome scan detected several quantitative trait loci (QTL) in this region for body composition and meat quality using a three generation Berkshire × Yorkshire resource family. In this study, the effects on swine...
Spatial impact and triggering conditions of the exceptional hydro-geomorphologi...
da Silva Pereira, Susana; Ramos, A. M.; Zêzere, José; Trigo, R. M.; Vaquero, J. M.According to the DISASTER database the 20–28 December 1909 event was the hydro-geomorphologic event with the highest number of flood and landslide cases that occurred in Portugal in the period 1865–2010 (Zêzere et al., 2014). This event also caused important social impacts over the Spanish territory, especially in the Douro Basin, having triggered the highest floods in more than 100 years at the river's mouth i...
The role of public libraries in promoting reading within the family
Ramos, A. M.; Vila, I.The aim of this paper is to demonstrate some examples of good practice carried out in public libraries and their role in promoting reading within the family and in particular with parents and children. In this case, the family takes on the responsibility of bringing the book into the life of the child almost from the time they are born. Some libraries hold events which aim to bring parents and children, books a...
Das dores de crescimento à dor de existir: representações literárias de adolesc...
Ramos, A. M.; Vernon, R.Pretende-se, neste estudo, proceder a uma análise comparada dos romances Ilha Teresa (2011), de Richard Zimler, e Lullabies for Little Criminals (2006), de Heather O’Neill, situados no domínio da crossover fiction, dadas as semelhanças existentes ao nível da perspectiva narrativa, centrada no universo adolescente, e dos processos de crescimento e de construção da identidade, marcados por conflitos e problemas, ...
Narrativas juvenis: o fenómeno crossover nas literaturas portuguesa e brasileira
Ramos, A. M.; Navas, DianaO presente artigo pretende dar conta de como o fenómeno da literatura crossover – em progressiva expansão na literatura infantojuvenil atual – se evidencia nas literaturas contemporâneas no Brasil e em Portugal. Almeja-se demonstrar como os temas fraturantes, a opção por uma narrativa não linear, a linguageme o registo contribuem para a sofisticação do romance crossovercontemporâneo, tomando como corpus as narr...
Ilustrar poesia para a infância: entre as rimas cromáticas e as metáforas visuais
Ramos, A. M.Este trabalho identifica um conjunto de antologias de poesia para crianças publicadas em Portugal nos últimos anos onde a ilustração desempenha um papel relevante no processo de coesão gráfica das publicações, assim como de mediação na leitura dos textos. Analisa as relações que as imagens estabelecem com os textos poéticos com vista a compreender a especificidade da ilustração da poesia infantil, identificando...
Travelling from the city to the countryside: depictions of urban and rural scen...
Ramos, R.; Ramos, A. M.Research has shown that Nature is frequently found as an important element in children's literature. Despite being depicted in a rather superfi cial and stereotypical way and touched by humanity, it is usually represented as a fun, harmonious and even idyllic component of the story. This construction of the natural world depends on the power of language to create scenarios, shaping the way Nature is perceived, ...
