Metodologia BioMenteOperacional: Biofeedback na excelência do desempenho operac...
Patrão, Ana; Mendes, Maria Luís; Passos, Fernando; Silva, Jorge; Santos, António; Costa, Rui; Pereira, Anabela; Queirós, CristinaNo cumprimento da missão da PSP e no sentido de criação de valor na atuação policial, a aposta no capital humano e na excelência do desempenho constitui um eixo estratégico, para o qual contribuem novos métodos e novas tecnologias na área da gestão de recursos humanos. Neste artigo, de tipo teórico, apresenta-se a Metodologia BioMenteOperacional (BMO), construída de acordo com os objetivos organizacionais da PS...
Muography Applied in Underground Geological Surveys: Ongoing Work at the Lousal...
Teixeira, Pedro; Blanco, Alberto; Caldeira, Bento; Tomé, Bernardo; Alexandre, Isabel; Matos, João; Silva, Jorge; Borges, José; Cazon, LorenzoThe LouMu Project is an ongoing collaboration between the Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics (LIP), the Institute of Earth Sciences—University of Évora and the Lousal Ciência Viva Center which is evaluating the muography potential in the Lousal Mine, with the general aim to create the conditions to use muography as a novel method for geophysical surveys in Portugal. The National Lab...
Muon tomography with Resistive Plate Chambers for geological characterization
Sarmento, Raul; Castro, Alberto Blanco; Caldeira, Bento; Tomé, Bernardo; Loureiro, Custódio; Clemêncio, Filomena; Costa, João; Matos, JoãoMuon tomography is one of several fields of applied physics that have witnessed the successful use of particle detection based on Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC). In this work, we report on an innovative project concerning transmission muography for geological characterization. For this purpose, a muon telescope built of four RPC planes was mounted on an adjustable structure and the telescope's response to atmos...

Up-Mind: um programa de treino para otimização de competências de grupos de ope...
Mendes, Maria Luís; Patrão, Ana; Passos, Fernando; Silva, Jorge; Lucas, Paulo; Malheiro, António; Fonseca, Francisco; Pereira, AnabelaSendo a atividade policial uma profissão reconhecida como uma das mais stressantes e com exposição a eventos potencialmente traumáticos, é fundamental preparar os operacionais de modo a minimizar este impacto emocional que prejudica a saúde física e psicológica. Baseado nos princípios da gestão do stresse, psicologia do desporto e neuropsicologia, foi desenvolvido um programa de treino de competências de auto-r...
A robust real-time leather defect segmentation using YOLO
Silva, Vitor; Pinho, Rafaela de; Allahdad, Mehrab Khazraeiniay; Silva, Jorge; Ferreira, Manuel J.; Magalhães, Luís Gonzaga MendesNatural leather is a product made from animal skin which is treated through chemical procedure to preserve it. It is used in the manufacture of clothing, bags, furniture, automobile material, among others. Because of its capital value in industry, it is important to ensure its quality. Traditional inspection by human experts is expensive, time-consuming, and subjective to human errors. Consequently, automatic l...
Quality control using U-Net: detecting defects in leather
Allahdad, Mehrab Khazraeiniay; Pinho, Rafaela de; Silva, Jorge; Silva, Vitor; Ferreira, Manuel J.; Magalhães, Luís Gonzaga MendesRecently, there has been a significant amount of attention towards computer vision algorithms, particularly those that focus on semantic segmentation applications. This is due to the availability of big data to train models, as well as the computational ability of these algorithms. Among the various computer vision applications, the U-Net has gained popularity due to its reliable accuracy, simplicity in constru...
Sidewalks of Lisbon and Azores
Carvalho, Alda; Santos, Carlos; Silva, Jorge; Teixeira, RicardoPart of the beauty of Lisbon and Azores lies under the feet of anyone who walks in the streets. Given their highly symmetrical nature, Portuguese sidewalk drawings are ideal to be analyzed geometrically. Furthermore, these drawings provide opportunities for promoting mathematical concepts through exhibitions, card decks, and other forms of dissemination.
Pyrazoles as potential modulators of inflammation through the inhibition of COX...
Silva, Jorge; Rocha, Sónia; Silva, Vera L. M.; Silva, Artur M. S.; Moreira, Fernando; Fernandes, Eduarda; Freitas, MarisaThe inflammatory process is a complex and tightly regulated cascade of events that involves the production of prostaglandins (PG) by the inducible isoform cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and the production of reactive pro-oxidant species. When the production of these mediators becomes excessive, it can lead to chronic inflammation and associated diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. Unfortunatel...
