Form Follows Life: Reinventing cities. Non Architecture publishing
Bina, Olivia; Silva, Daniela; Fokdal, Josefine; de Stefano, LucaThe aim of this report is to present and discuss the results of the Non Architecture Competition: “Form Follows Life: Reinventing Cities”. Following Non Architecture’s engagement with the potentialities, and urgencies, surrounding cities and “nature” over the last few years, we came together to curate a competition that sought to challenge as much as possible current paradigms shaping ideas about what is “urban...
Joint model for zero-inflated data combining fishery-dependent and fishery-inde...
Silva, Daniela; Menezes, Raquel; Araújo, Gonçalo; Rosa, Renato; Moreno, Ana; Silva, Alexandra; Garrido, SusanaAccurately identifying spatial patterns of species distribution is crucial for scientific insight and societal benefit, aiding our understanding of species fluctuations. The increasing quantity and quality of ecological datasets present heightened statistical challenges, complicating spatial species dynamics comprehension. Addressing the complex task of integrating multiple data sources to enhance spatial fish ...

Geostatistical models for identifying juvenile fish hotspots in marine conserva...
Menezes, Raquel; Gonçalves, Francisco; Silva, Daniela; Dias, Inês; Silva, Alexandra A.Species distribution models play a pivotal role in the management and conservation of commercially significant marine species. This work focuses on investigating geostatistical models that connect species occurrence and biomass observations with environmental covariates at a limited number of locations. The main objectives are to identify hotspots of juvenile richness, and map recruitment areas and seasons. Our...

Environmental effects on the spatiotemporal variability of sardine distribution...
Silva, Daniela; Menezes, Raquel; Moreno, Ana; Teles-Machado, Ana; Garrido, SusanaScientific tools capable of identifying distribution patterns of species are important as they contribute to improve knowledge about biodiversity and species dynamics. The present study aims to estimate the spatiotemporal distribution of sardine (Sardina pilchardus, Walbaum 1792) in the Portuguese continental waters, relating the spatiotemporal variability of biomass index with the environmental conditions. Aco...
Insight into the efficiency of microalgae’ lipidic extracts as photosensitizers...
Mendonça, Inês; Silva, Daniela; Conde, Tiago; Maurício, Tatiana; Cardoso, Helena; Pereira, Hugo; Bartolomeu, Maria; Vieira, Cátia; Domingues, M. RosárioAntibacterial resistance causes around 1.27 million deaths annually around the globe and has been recognized as a top 3 priority health threat. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is considered a promising alternative to conventional antibiotic treatments. Algal lipid extracts have shown antibacterial effects when used as photosensitizers (PSs) in aPDT. In this work we assessed the photodynamic efficiency...
Tumor-infiltrating T cells in skin basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carc...
Cunha, Daniela; Neves, Marco; Silva, Daniela; Silvestre, Ana Rita; Borralho, Paula; Arrobas, Fernando; Ribot, Julie; Ferreira, Fernando; Moita, Luís F.Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are high-incidence, non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs). The success of immune-targeted therapies in advanced NMSCs led us to anticipate that NMSCs harbored significant populations of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with potential anti-tumor activity. The main aim of this study was to characterize T cells infiltrating NMSCs. Flow cytometry and immuno...

Preventing Clostridioides difficile infection by using an immobilized bile salt...
Silva, Daniela"The anaerobe Clostridioides difficile is a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections. C. difficile infection occurs after faecal-oral transmission of spores that germinate in the gut in response to certain bile salts. Commensal microbiota prevents spore germination by modulating the bile acid pool. Therefore, spore germination, toxin production and disease only occurs under dysbiosis, normally caused b...
