Comunicação digital e estratégia de redes sociais em hotelaria: O caso da rede ...
Lobo, J.; Veríssimo, MedéiaO turismo é uma indústria globalizante e um fenómeno, tanto a nível económico como social. É, assim, importante saber o que motiva, nos dias de hoje, os indivíduos a um trânsito permanente. Este nomadismo intermitente, onde cada chegada projeta nova partida, interpela-nos no sentido de percebermos que critérios são tidos em conta para a eleição de um dado destino turístico (em detrimento de tantos outros). Num ...
Seemingly Harmless Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma Presenting as Bone Metastasis
Magalhães, D.; Costa, C.; Furtado, I.; Matos, M.; Santos, A.; Duarte, H.; Afonso, M.; Lobo, J.; Torres, I.Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine neoplasia. Differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTCs) represent the majority of cases, which usually follow an indolent clinical course with low mortality rates. The authors describe two cases of well DTC without classic histological poor prognosis features, presenting as extensive and unresectable osteolytic bone metastases. DTCs are considered harmless tumours, due...
With a little help from DNA barcoding: investigating the diversity of Gastropod...
Borges, L. M. S.; Hollatz, C.; Lobo, J.; Cunha, Ana; Vilela, A. P.; Calado, G.; Coelho, R.; Costa, A. C.; Ferreira, M. G.; Costa, M. H.The Gastropoda is one of the best studied classes of marine invertebrates. Yet, most species have been delimited based on morphology only. The application of DNA barcodes has shown to be greatly useful to help delimiting species. Therefore, sequences of the cytochrome c oxidase I gene from 108 specimens of 34 morpho-species were used to investigate the molecular diversity within the gastropods from the Portugue...
InerTouchHand System - iTH - Demonstration of a Glove Device with Distributed I...
Lobo, J.; Trindade, P.The InerTouchHand System shows the usage of an instrumented glove-like device for HMI-Human Machine Interaction applications. We explored the use of distributed inertial sensors and vibro-tactile stimulators on the hand. Distributed Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) can be used to infer structure and reconstruct 6D pose of nodes, as well as relative motion. Our system uses MEMS IMUs on each fingertip for provid...
Ecotoxicological heterogeneity in transitional coastal habitats
Carreira, S.; Costa, Pedro M.; Martins, M.; Lobo, J.; Costa, Maria Helena; Caeiro, SandraTransitional waterbodies, such as estuaries, are highly diversified environments with respect to ecology, geophysics, and nature of anthropogenic impacts. This spatial heterogeneity may pose important constraints when developing monitoring programmes for aquatic pollution. The present study compared three distinct coastal ecosystems located in Southern Portugal (subjected to different anthropogenic stressors), ...
Estuarine ecological risk based on hepatic histopathological indices from labor...
Costa, P. M.; Caeiro, Sandra; Lobo, J.; Martins, M.; Ferreira, A. M.; Caetano, Miguel; Vale, C.; DelValls, T. Ángel; Costa, Maria HelenaJuvenile Senegalese soles were exposed through 28-day laboratory and field (in situ) bioassays to sediments from three sites of the Sado estuary (W Portugal): a reference and two contaminated by metallic and organic contaminants. Fish were surveyed for ten hepatic histopathological alterations divided by four distinct reaction patterns and integrated through the estimation of individual histopathological condit...
