The extent of alien taxa impacts on river ecosystem health is unclear, but their frequency continues to rise. We investigated 1) the prevalence of including alien taxa in common bioindicators used in river bioassessment, 2) the effect of alien taxa on the richness and abundance of natives, and 3) whether including alien taxa in bioassessment tools increased their sensitivity to river degradation. In the 17 coun...
The terahertz (THz) band is a candidate technology for future sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks that could support increasingly demanding requirements, such as high wireless traffic volumes and transmission rates. However, the limited range and high propagation losses at these frequencies present several challenges that must be overcome. One emerging solution is the use of reconfigurable intelligent surfa...
Massive multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) systems operating in the millimeter wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) frequency bands offer high data rates and spatial multiplexing, yet they face significant propagation challenges. Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) and their different architectures have emerged as a promising solution to these challenges, having the potential to enhance system performan...
RESUMO: Um conhecimento detalhado e atualizado da morfodinâmica local é fundamental para apoiar as decisões e iniciativas de gestão costeira na costa arenosa atlântica do Norte de Portugal. Nos últimos anos foram realizados levantamentos fotográficos de alta precisão com recurso a veículos aéreos não tripulados. As imagens foram processadas e foram produzidos Modelos Digitais de Superfície (MDS) e ortomosaicos ...
“Comunicação e Inteligência Artificial” explora a convergência dinâmica entre as áreas das Ciências da Comunicação e da Inteligência Artificial (IA). Um campo de estudos emergente que procura compreender mudanças sociais profundas, impulsionadas por desenvolvimentos tecnológicos e pela sua adoção crescente. Os vários capítulos da obra reúnem contributos de autores de diversas áreas científicas e geografias, e c...

As neoplasias malignas identificadas em citologia cervicovaginal com características de adenocarcinomas extrauterinos são neoplasias raras e agressivas, frequentemente diagnosticadas em estadios avançados, devido à sua apresentação clínica pouco específica. Este tipo de carcinoma representa um desafio significativo para o diagnóstico, exigindo uma abordagem interdisciplinar. Neste estudo, apresentamos um caso c...
Objective: To develop evidence-based recommendations for the non-pharmacological and pharmacological management of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and digital ulcers (DUs) in patients with systemic sclerosis and other immune-mediated connective tissue diseases (CTDs). Methods: A task force comprising 21 rheumatologists, 2 surgeons (vascular and plastic), 2 nurses, and 1 patient representative was established. Followi...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the sprint racing performance of Quarter Horses in Brazil. Estimating genetic parameters, trends and correlations were obtained by single- and two-trait analyses using Bayesian inference (earnings to 2 years of equestrian age, best time and time class at distances of 301 m and 402 m). The data comprised a period of 38 equestrian years (1978 to 2015) with 23,482 sprint race ...
