Flow of flexible matter through complex environments
Silva, DaniloIn this thesis we investigated the flow of flexible particles in complex environments, with a focus on droplet-based emulsions driven by flow and the sedimentation of deformable capsules and droplets in confined geometries. We used the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for fluid modelling and employed a combination of intrinsic LB methods and coupling with other techniques to simulate multicomponent droplets and f...
A narrative review of motor competence in children and adolescents: what we kno...
Lopes, Luís; Santos, Rute; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel; Draper, Catherine; Mota, Jorge; Jidovtseff, Boris; Clark, Cain; Schmidt, Mirko; Morgan, PhilipLack of physical activity is a global public health problem causing not only morbidity and premature mortality, but it is also a major economic burden worldwide. One of the cornerstones of a physically active lifestyle is Motor Competence (MC). MC is a complex biocultural attribute and therefore, its study requires a multi-sectoral, multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary approach. MC is a growing area of research...

Habinger, Juan; Chávez, Javiera; Matsudo, Sandra; Kovalskys, Irina; Gómez, Georgina; Rigotti, Attilio; Sanabria, Lilia; García, Martha; Pareja, RossinaPurpose: The aim of this study was to determine the association between active transportation and obesity indicators in adults from eight Latin American countries. Methods: Data from the ELANS study, an observational multi-country study (n: 8336; 18-65 years), were used. Active transportation (walking and cycling) and leisure time physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Question...
