Strain partitioning in transpression; a major feature in the evolution of the I...
Dias, Rui; Araújo, Alexandre; Couto, Helena; Cruz, Cláudia; Ferreira, Joana; Gonçalves, Ana Marta; Lima, Alexandre; Lopes, Luís; Moreira, NoelAs the wavy pattern of fold belts is a common feature, since its recognition, the transpressive regimes were expected to be a pervasive mechanism on their evolution. Nevertheless, even in regions where oblique shortening is inferred, typical structures of transpression (e.g. transected cleavage and en echelon folds, shear or veins) are often absent. Instead, what is frequently observed is the juxtaposition of n...
Seaweed Proteins: A Step towards Sustainability?
Pereira, Leonel; Cotas, João; Gonçalves, Ana MartaThis review delves into the burgeoning field of seaweed proteins as promising alternative sources of protein. With global demand escalating and concerns over traditional protein sources' sustainability and ethics, seaweed emerges as a viable solution, offering a high protein content and minimal environmental impacts. Exploring the nutritional composition, extraction methods, functional properties, and potential...
