Short‑term load forecasting using time series clustering
Martins, A. A. A. F.; Lagarto, J.; Canacsinh, H.; Reis, F.; Cardoso, M. G. M. S.Short-term load forecasting plays a major role in energy planning. Its accuracy has a direct impact on the way power systems are operated and managed. We propose a new Clustering-based Similar Pattern Forecasting algorithm (CSPF) for short-term load forecasting. It resorts to a K-Medoids clustering algorithm to identify load patterns and to the COMB distance to capture differences between time series. Clusters’...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-02-19; Background: Pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and rectus abdominis muscles (RAM) of pregnant diabetic rats exhibit atrophy, co-localization of fast and slow fibers and an increased collagen type I/III ratio. However, the role of similar PFM or RAM hyperglycemic-related myopathy in women with gestational diabet...

Vulvar Lobular Capillary Hemangioma: A Rare Location for a Frequent Entity
Abreu-dos-Santos, F.; Câmara, S.; Reis, F.; Freitas, T.; Gaspar, H.; Cordeiro, M.Lobular capillary hemangioma, or pyogenic granuloma, is an acquired hemorrhagic benign vascular lesion of the skin and mucous membranes. The pyogenic granuloma of the vulva is a rare finding and a limited number of case reports are available in the literature. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case described as a single pyogenic granuloma on the vulva.
Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia in Pediatric Age: A Case Report and Revie...
Magalhães, S.; Moreno, F.; Alves, N.; Preza, J.; Certo, M.; Reis, F.Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a rare benign disease, characterized by abnormal proliferation of fibroglandular stroma. It was first described in 1986. The authors present a case of a twelve year-old girl with a history of kidney transplantation due to nephrotic syndrome with rapidly progressive and painful breast asymmetry with approximately six months duration. No lymphadenopathy or other sig...
Cyclosporine A-induced nephrotoxicity is ameliorated by dose reduction and conv...
Sereno, J.; Vala, Helena; Nunes, S.; Rocha-Pereira, P.; Carvalho, E.; Alves, R.; Teixeira, F.; Reis, F.Side-effect minimization strategies to avoid serious side-effects of cyclosporine A (CsA), such as nephrotoxicity, have been mainly based on dose reduction and conversion to other putatively less nephrotoxic drugs, such as sirolimus (SRL), an inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin. This study intended to evaluate the impact of protocols based on CsA dose reduction and further conversion to SRL on kidney...
Chemical features of Ganoderma polysaccharides with antioxidant, antitumor and ...
Ferreira, Isabel C. F. R.; Heleno, S. A.; Stojkovicd, S.; Reis, F.; Stojkovicd, S.; Queiroz, Maria João R. P.; Vasconcelos, M. H.; Sokovic, M.Ganoderma genus comprises one of the most commonly studied species worldwide, G. lucidum. However, other Ganoderma species have been also reported as important sources of bioactive compounds. Polysaccharides are important contributors to the medicinal properties reported for Ganoderma species, as demonstrated by the numerous publications, including reviews, on this matter. Yet, what are the chemical features of...
Ferramenta de apoio à gestão costeira e portuária: o sistema HIDRALERTA
Fortes, C. J. E. M.; Reis, M. T.; Poseiro, P.; Santos, J. A.; Garcia, T.; Capitão, R.; Pinheiro, L.; Reis, R.; Craveiro, J.; Lourenço, I.; Lopes, P.Nesta comunicação, descreve-se o sistema HIDRALERTA (sistema de previsão e alerta de inundações em zonas costeiras e portuárias), sistema em ambiente SIG que tem como ideia-base a utilização de previsões da agitação marítima (a 180 horas) para calcular os seus efeitos na costa, nomeadamente em termos de galgamentos e inundações. Dos desenvolvimentos mais recentes ou em curso destacam-se: a construção de mapas d...
Sitagliptin prevents inflammation and apoptotic cell death in the kidney of typ...
Marques, Catarina; Mega, Cristina; Gonçalves, Andreia; Rodrigues-Santos, Paulo; Lemos, Edite Teixeira de; Teixeira, Frederico; Fontes-Ribeiro, Carlos A.This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor, in preventing the deleterious effects of diabetes on the kidney in an animal model of type 2 diabetes mellitus; the Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat: 20-week-old rats were treated with sitagliptin (10 mg/kg bw/day) during 6 weeks. Glycaemia and blood HbA1c levels were monitored, as well as kidney function and ...
