Experimental study on the density of graphene nanofluid: effects of concentrati...
Vilão, G.; Soares, F.; Ramos, C.A.; Iglesias, T.P.(Introduction) Thermal and physical properties of fluids are crucial factors in the design and development of heat transfer equipment that operates with high efficiency. These properties determine how effectively a fluid can transfer heat, how it behaves under different temperatures and pressures, and its overall performance in heat exchange processes. The density of fluids is an essential physical-chemical pro...

Effect of amino acid supplementation and stress on expression of molecular mark...
Herrera, M.; Matias, A. C.; Soares, F.; Ribeiro, L.; Moreira, Márcio; Salamanca, N.; Jerez-Cepa, I.; Mancera, J. M.; Astola, A.The objectives of this work were: 1) develop of molecular stress biomarkers obtaining sequence data of different transcripts, 2) study the molecular stress response through the expression quantification of key gene involved in it, and 3) assess the effects of dietary amino acid additives on stress response in meagre meagres (Argyrososmus regius). Fish batches were fed two experimental diets with tryptophan (Trp...
Small bowel obstruction due to intraluminal metastasis from malignant melanoma
Soares, F.; Brandão, P.; Correia, Raquel; Valente, VítorThe most common form of presentation of malignant melanoma is cutaneous. However, it is important to notice that it can occur in any part of the body, mostly from metastatic route. Gastrointestinal forms of symptomatic metastasis are rare, making it sometimes difficult to diagnose. We present a rare case of an 84-year-old female with a small bowel obstruction due to melanoma metastasis. She was treated with an ...
Understanding the individual role of fish, oyster, phytoplankton and macroalgae...
Cunha, M. E.; Quental-Ferreira, H.; Parejo, A.; Gamito, Sofia; Ribeiro, L.; Moreira, Márcio; Monteiro, I; Soares, F.; Pousao-Ferreira, P.In order to demonstrate that IMTA can be profitable and a good alternative to regular semi-intensive fish mariculture production in earthen ponds three different production treatments with distinct combinations of trophic levels were designed: (i) a combination of fish, filter feeders, phytoplankton and macroalgae, (ii) fish, filter feeders and phytoplankton and (iii) fish, phytoplankton and macroalgae, to eval...
Methodology for assessing the individual role of fish, oyster, phytoplankton an...
Cunha, M.E.; Quental-Ferreira, H.; Parejo, A.; Gamito, Sofia; Ribeiro, L.; Moreira, M.; Monteiro, I.; Soares, F.; Pousão-Ferreira, PedroProduction costs in extensive and semi-intensive fish culture in earthen ponds are often too high to offer sustainable economic activity due to the low productivity of these systems. The right combination of commercial finfish species with inorganic (primary producers) and organic extractive (bivalves) species in Integrated MultiTrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) create a balanced system with higher profitability and r...
Biological control of Taenia saginata eggs
Araújo, J.; Braga, F.; Araújo, J.; Soares, F.; Geniêr, H.Taenia saginata, is a cestode with zoonotic potentially. The objective of this work was to evaluate the ovicide activity (type 3 effect) of the fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus (PL1), on the eggs of Taenia saginata, in vitro. The eggs were inverted in Petri dishes containing PL1, or in Petri dishes without the fungus (control). After 5, 10, or 15 days, we extracted approximately 100 eggs for evaluation and for cl...
Concrete block tracking in breakwater models
Soares, F.; Henriques, M. J.; Rocha, C.The protection of harbours in coastal areas, that are exposed to the action of the sea waves, is made by breakwaters. During the phase of design of new breakwaters or the rehabilitation of existing ones, the evaluation of effectiveness of the shape and of the protective elements to save the harbour, 3D scale models are built inside wave basins or wave flumes. In the testing phase, water waves are generated, and...
The effect of live feeds bathed with the red seaweed Asparagopsis armata on the...
Castanho, Sara; Califano, Gianmaria; Soares, F.; Costa, Rodrigo; Mata, L.; Pousao-Ferreira, P.; Ribeiro, L.Larval rearing is affected by a wide range of microorganisms that thrive in larviculture systems. Some seaweed species have metabolites capable of reducing the bacterial load. However, no studies have yet tested whether including seaweed metabolites on larval rearing systems has any effects on the larvae development. This work assessed the development of Sparus aurata larvae fed preys treated with an Asparagops...
Physiological responses of reared sea bream (Sparus aurata Linnaeus, 1758) to a...
Moreira, M.; Schrama, Denise; Soares, F.; Wulff, T.; Pousao-Ferreira, P.; Rodrigues, PedroAmyloodiniosis represents a major bottleneck for semi-intensive aquaculture production in Southern Europe, causing extremely high mortalities. Amyloodinium ocellatum is a parasitic dinoflagellate that can infest almost all fish, crustacean and bivalves that live within its ecological range. Fish mortalities are usually attributed to anoxia, associated with serious gill hyperplasia, inflammation, haemorrhage and...
