Halochromic textiles for real-time sensing of hazardous chemicals and personal ...

Chemical protective clothing (CPC) has become mandatory when performing various tasks to ensure user protection and prevent chemicals from contacting the skin and causing severe injuries. In addition to protection, there is a need to develop a simple mechanism that can be attached to CPC and be capable of detecting and alerting the user to the presence of harmful chemical agents. In this study, a double-sensor ...

Transformação digital 360 ̊: resposta das Bibliotecas da UCP aos desafios lança...

Ao longo dos últimos anos as Bibliotecas da Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP) têm desenvolvido um esforço conjunto para responder aos desafios colocados pelos membros da sua comunidade académica, objetivo alcançado, em grande medida, por via da criação de serviços e pela disponibilização de plataformas online, em estreito alinhamento com o projeto de transformação digital que se encontra em curso, transver...

Exploring the diversity of visceral, subcutaneous and perivascular adipose tiss...

The prevalence of obesity has doubled, with a concomitant increase in cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to compare the characteristics of visceral, subcutaneous and peri-aortic adipose tissue determined with computed tomography (CT) scans and to correlate them with cardiovascular risk factors, anthropometric measures and medication. An observational and prospective study was conducted, and 177 subjects w...

Is obesity a risk factor for carotid atherosclerotic disease?—opportunistic review

Obesity is a risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis. However, the influence of adipose tissue in carotid atherosclerosis is not completely understood. No systematic review/meta-analysis was previously performed to understand if obesity is a risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis. This paper aims to provide an opportunistic review of the association between obesity and carotid atherosclerosis and define the r...

Freeze-drying processes applied to melon rinds to attain a value-added food ing...

Aim: Several studies pointed out melon rinds as rich sources of bioactive compounds with relevant antioxidant activity. Being considered a non-edible part with no economic value, fruit industries discharge large amounts of these residues to the environment. If these wastes are conveniently processed and transformed, novel food ingredients with potential health benefits may arise.The objective was to transform m...

REPORT OF THE WORKSHOP ON MODELLING CATCH-PER-UNIT-EFFORT (WKCPUE)

Standardized Catch-Per-Unit-Effort (CPUE), i.e., data from commercial fisheries that have been statistically modelled to remove fishery dependant effect, are often used in stock assessments as indicators of abundance and biomass. Here we report the outcomes of the workshop on modeling CPUEs that took place virtually on the 3-5 November 2020 and 6-7 January 2021 organized by IPMA and integrated in PNAB/DCF (Nati...
