Fermented brewer's spent grain as a sustainable feed ingredient impacts meagre ...
Estevão-Rodrigues, T.; Fernandes, H.; Moutinho, S.; Couto, A.; Belo, Isabel; Castro. , C.; Pousão, P.; Salgado, J. M.; Oliva-Teles, A.; Peres, H.It was previously observed that solid-state fermentation (SSF) with Aspergillus ibericus increased brewer's spent grain (BSG) protein content (21%) while reducing lipid (49%), cellulose (30%), hemicellulose (34%), and lignin (7.3%) contents. This study evaluated the potential of fermented BSG (BSG-SSF) as a novel feed ingredient for meagre (Argyrosomus regius) juveniles by evaluating growth performance, digesti...
Clube dos Heróis: Atividades para o bem-estar na infância
Ferreira, S.; Caldeira, S.; Rocha, C.; Cabral, F.; Fernandes, H.; Correia, M.; Tavares, M.; Amaral, S.; Soares. S.; Ponte, S.Este artigo apresenta o Clube dos Heróis, um recurso psicopedagógico na área da promoção de competências pessoais e sociomeocionais, dirigido a profissionais, pais e outros /cuidadores de crianças dos 5 aos 10 anos. A literatura evidencia que a promoção de competências pessoais e socioemocionais reduz problemas de internalização e externalização e potencia o rendimento académico, comportamentos prossociais e at...
Multiscale Copper-uDiamond Nanostructured Composites
Nunes, D.; Livramento, Vanessa; Fernandes, H.; Silva, C.; Shohoji, Nobumitsu; Correia, J.B.; Carvalho, Patricia AlmeidaNanostructured copper-diamond composites can be tailored for thermal management applications at high temperature. A novel approach based on multiscale diamond dispersions is proposed for the production of this type of materials: a Cu-nDiamond composite produced by high-energy milling is used as a nanostructured matrix for further dispersion of micrometer sized diamond. The former offers strength and microstruct...
Selection of staphylococci strains isolated from a Portuguese traditional ferme...
Carvalho, L.; Fernandes, M.J.; Fernandes, H.; Semedo-Lemsaddek, T.; Elias, M.; Barreto, A.S.; Fraqueza, M.J.In order to evaluate its potential use as starter cultures, 104 isolates of Staphylococcus spp. were obtained from sausages and different sampling environment points in workshops A and B, at southern region of Portugal. PCR amplification was carried out to confirm genus and species allocation. From workshop A, 47 isolates were staphylococci, the majority belonging to the specie S. equorum, while from workshop B...
Preliminary evaluation of bacteriocinogenic potencial of Lactobaccilli isolates...
Gonçalves, S.; Fernandes, H.; Fernandes, M. J.; Barreto, A.; Elias, M.; Fraqueza, M.J.The fermented and dry meat sausages presents relevant importance in the south of Europe gastronomy, namely in Portugal. According to the increased consumer concern regarding health and food safety, and simultaneously the abusive use of chemical products to control pathogenic flora, it is essential to get knowledge about bacteriocinogenic and technological properties provided by starter strains in meat products....
Blistering of W-Ta composites at different irradiation energies
Mateus, R.; Dias, M.; Lopes, J.; Rocha, J.; Catarino, N.; Duarte, P.; Gomes, R. B.; Silva, C.; Fernandes, H.; Livramento, V.; Carvalho, P. A.; Alves, E.Pure tungsten and tantalum plates and tungsten-tantalum composites produced via mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering were bombarded with He+ and D+ energetic ion beams and deuterium plasmas. The aim of this experiment is to study the effects caused by individual helium and deuterium exposures and to evidence that the modifications induced in the composites at different irradiation energies could be fo...

Providing accessibility to blind people using GIS
Fernandes, H.; Conceição, N.; Paredes, H.; Pereira, António; Araújo, P.; Barroso, J.In everyday life, people need to move, whether in business or leisure. Navigation requires spatial knowledge and ability to make decisions based on geographic information. Recently, powerful tools have been developed, enhancing the capabilities of geographical analysis and decision-making. This work presents a platform to handle and provide geographic information, including accessibility oriented features. This...
Production of Cu/Diamond composites for first-wall heat sinks
Nunes, D.; Correia, J.B.; Carvalho, Patricia Almeida; Shohoji, Nobumitsu; Silva, C.; Fernandes, H.; Alves, L. C.; Hanada, K.; Osawa, E.Due to their suitable thermal conductivity and strength copper-based materials have been considered appropriate heat sinks for first wall panels in nuclear fusion devices. However, increased thermal conductivity and mechanical strength are demanded and the concept of property tailoring involved in the design of metal matrix composites advocates for the potential of nanodiamond dispersions in copper. Copper-nano...
