Assessing air pollution in European cities to support a citizen centered approa...
Rodrigues, V.; Gama, C.; Ascenso, A.; Oliveira, K.; Coelho, S.; Monteiro, Alexandra; Hayes, E.; Lopes, M.European cities have made significant progress over the last decades towards clean air. Despite this progress, several cities are still facing acute air pollution episodes, with various urban areas frequently exceeding air quality levels allowed by the European legal standards and WHO guidelines. In this paper, six European cities/ regions (Bristol, UK; Amsterdam, NL; Sosnowiec, PL; Ljubljana, SI; Aveiro, PT; L...
Estimating emissions from tourism activities
Russo, M.A.; Relvas, H.; Gama, C.; Lopes, M.; Borrego, C.; Rodrigues, V.; Robaina, M.; Madaleno, M.; Carneiro, M.J.; Eusébio, C.; Monteiro, A.Data on atmospheric pollutant emissions from tourism activities was identified as a critical knowledge gap. Building an emissions inventory is a standard procedure that most countries perform for regulatory or research purposes. At a European level, these inventories are developed using the standard Nomenclature for Reporting (NFR sectors). However, none of the NFR are exclusively for tourism or explicitly incl...
Hepatic steatosis in an adult population: stronger correlation with the presenc...
Leitao, J.A.M.C.P.; Cochicho, J.; Carvalhana, S.; Velasco, F.; Silva, A.P.; Medeiros, I.S.; Alves, A.C.; Bourbon, M.; Oliveiros, B.; Rodrigues, V.Background and Aims: Hepatic steatosis is very frequent in thegeneral population, mostly associated with obesity and insulinresistance. Typical dietary patterns have been difficult to identifywith controversial information. We aimed to estimate in a represen-tative sample of the Portuguese adult population, what was thecontribution of the dietary pattern in what concerns macronutrientsand food groups for the pr...
Prevalence of alcoholic steatosis in the general adult Portuguese population
Leitao, J.A.M.C.P.; Carvalhana, S.; Cochicho, J.; Silva, A.P.; Velasco, F.; Medeiros, I.S.; Alves, A.C.; Bourbon, M.; Oliveiros, B.; Rodrigues, V.Background and Aims: Fatty liver is very frequent in the general population. Although many studies evaluated the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease there is scarce information regarding alcoholic fatty liver. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of alcoholic hepatic steatosis, and to what extent it depended on obesity and its interaction.
Análise comparativa da influência de diferentes modelos de emissões de tráfego ...
Vicente, B.; Rafael, S.; Rodrigues, V.; Teixeira, J.; Bandeira, J.; Coelho, M. C.; Borrego, C.A influência de diferentes modelos de emissões de tráfego rodoviário (TREM e VSP) no desempenho do modelo de qualidade do ar CFD VADIS foi avaliada neste trabalho, tendo como caso de estudo um bairro típico da cidade de Aveiro. Foram analisados dois poluentes (NOx e PM10). Para o poluente NOx foi obtido um desempenho adequado do modelo CFD com as duas metodologias de emissões; foi ainda analisada a influência d...
In vitro schistosomicidal activity of balsaminol F and karavilagenin C.
Ramalhete, Cátia; Magalhães, L. G.; Rodrigues, V.; Mulhovo, Silva; Da Silva Filho, A. A.; Ferreira, Maria JoséFive cucurbitane-type triterpenes (1-5), previously isolated from the African medicinal plant Momordica balsamina, along with five ester derivatives (6-10) of karavilagenin C (2), were evaluated for their potential schistosomicidal activity against Schistosoma mansoni adult worms. The natural compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of the methanol extract of the aerial parts of M. balsam...
