Unravelling the structure of CO2 in silica adsorbents: an NMR and computational...
Sardo, Mariana; Morais, Tiago; Soares, Márcio; Vieira, Ricardo; Ilkaeva, Marina; Lourenço, Mirtha A O; Marín-Montesinos, Ildefonso; Mafra, LuísThis comprehensive review describes recent advancements in the use of solid-state NMR-assisted methods and computational modeling strategies to unravel gas adsorption mechanisms and CO2 speciation in porous CO2-adsorbent silica materials at the atomic scale. This work provides new perspectives for the innovative modifications of these materials rendering them more amenable to the use of advanced NMR methods.
Detection of helical water flows in sub-nanometer channels
Zelenovskii, Pavel; Soares, Márcio; Bornes, Carlos; Marin-Montesinos, Ildefonso; Sardo, Mariana; Kopyl, Svitlana; Kholkin, Andrei; Mafra, LuísNanoscale flows of liquids can be revealed in various biological processes and underlie a wide range of nanofluidic applications. Though the integral characteristics of these systems, such as permeability and effective diffusion coefficient, can be measured in experiments, the behaviour of the flows within nanochannels is still a matter of speculation. Herein, we used a combination of quadrupolar solid-state NM...

Methods: This was a prospective, international, cross-sectional, observational study in...
Hydrazones in anion transporters: the detrimental effect of a second binding site
Martínez-Crespo, Luis; Halgreen, Lau; Soares, Márcio; Marques, Igor; Félix, Vítor; Valkenier, HennieSynthetic anion transporters can be developed using anion receptors that are able to bind the anion and stabilize it in the lipophilic interior of a bilayer membrane, and they usually contain functional groups with acidic NHs, such as ureas, thioureas and squaramides. To assess the suitability of acylhydrazones as a new functional group for the preparation of anion transporters, we have studied a family of thio...
Consumer Attitudes toward News Delivering: An Experimental Evaluation of the Us...
Viana, Paula; Soares, Márcio; Gaio, Rita; Correia, AmilcarThis paper presents an experiment on newsreaders’ behavior and preferences on the interaction with online personalized news. Different recommendation approaches, based on consumption profiles and user location, and the impact of personalized news on several aspects of consumer decision-making are examined on a group of volunteers. Results show a significant preference for reading recommended news over other new...
New insights on the impacts of e-waste towards marine bivalves: the case of the...
Freitas, Rosa; Cardoso, Celso; Costa, Silvana; Morais, Tiago; Moleiro, Pedro; Lima, André F. D.; Soares, Márcio; Figueiredo, Samuel; Águeda, Tiago L.With the technological advances and economic development, the multiplicity and wide variety of applications of electrical and electronic equipment have increased, as well as the amount of end-of-life products (waste of electrical and electronic equipment, WEEE). Accompanying their increasing application, there is an increasing risk to aquatic ecosystems and inhabiting organisms. Among the most common elements p...
The Semantics of Movie Metadata: Enhancing User Profiling for Hybrid Recommenda...
Soares, Márcio; Viana, PaulaIn movie/TV collaborative recommendation approaches, ratings users gave to already visited content are often used as the only input to build profiles. However, users might have rated equally the same movie but due to different reasons: either because of its genre, the crew or the director. In such cases, this rating is insufficient to represent in detail users’ preferences and it is wrong to conclude that they ...
A Hybrid Approach for Personalized News Recommendation in a Mobility Scenario U...
Viana, Paula; Soares, MárcioAccess to information has been made easier in different domains that range from multimedia content, books, music, news, etc. To deal with the huge amount of alternatives, recommendation systems have been often used as a solution to filter the options and provide suggestions of items that might be of interest to an user. The news domain introduces additional challenges due not only to the large amount of new ite...
Desenvolvimento centrado no usuário a partir da metodologia ICONIX
Viana, Fabrício Rieg; Soares, MárcioDuring this project, the study of the possible integration of two models started: the development of the models ICONIX and DCU (Centered Design on the user). The methodology of development of the ICONIX Software has a very high level of acceptance among software companies because of its rationalization of matters related to documentation. However, the weak contact with the final user during the development of t...
A hybrid recommendation system for news in a mobile environment
Soares, Márcio; Viana, PaulaOver the last few years consumption of news articles has shifted more and more from the written versions towards the web. Mobile devices, which became more powerful, with larger screens and connected to the Internet, have had a great influence on this paradigm change. A critical problem associated to online news is related to the fact that the large number of daily articles can be overwhelming to the users. Rec...
