Geosynthetics for sustainable cities: 3D numerical models and mechanical damage
Paiva, Lucas; Paula, António Miguel; Lopes, Margarida Pinho; Valente, R.Geotechnical works play a major role on the infrastructure development. Geosynthetics are the most efficient, cost-effective and environmentally- friendly solution to a variety of geotechnical structures (e.g., roadways, foundations, retaining walls). Thus, improving the design methods of geosynthetics can increase safety and reduce infrastructure costs (GDS goal 9).

Ecophysiological traits of highly mobile large marine predators inferred from n...
Alves, Filipe; Dromby, Morgane; Baptista, Vânia; Ferreira, R.; Correia, A. M.; Weyn, M.; Valente, R.; Froufe, E.; Rosso, M.; Sousa-Pinto, I.; Dinis, A.Nucleic acid-derived indices such as RNA/DNA ratios have been successfully applied as ecophysiological indicators to assess growth, nutritional condition and health status in marine organisms given that they provide a measure of tissue protein reserves, which is known to vary depending on changes in the environment. Yet, the use of these biochemical indices on highly mobile large predators is scarce. In this st...
Qualitative evaluation of fruits from different Opuntia ficus indica ecotypes/c...
Miguel, M.G.; Gago, C.; Valente, R.; Guerreiro, A.; Antunes, D.; Manhita, Ana; Barrocas Dias, CristinaOpuntia ficus‐indica fruits have an important nutritional value and show several biological properties. This work studied the fruit physicochemical characteristics of two wild ecotypes (“Green” and “Orange”) and two cultivars (“Rossa” and “Gialla”) from Portugal. The results showed that the largest and heaviest fruits were those from ecotype “Orange,”, whereas the wild ecotype “Green” had fruits with firmer fle...

A model for the effective engagement of all stakeholders in engineering educati...
Valente, R.; Gabriel, B.; Dias-de-Oliveira, J.; Andrade-Campos, A.; Neto, V.Methodologies for engineering learning and teaching (MELT) approach aims to enhance the attractiveness of education through science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) among young people, while promoting awareness of future careers in these areas. To this end, students’ expectations are considered within university programmes, aiming to an increased engagement in STEM careers. To accomplish these go...

TEMA combines key expertise in six main areas: Applied Energy, Transportation Technology, Nanoengineering, Advanced Mechanical Engineering,...
Malária Grave — Um Caso Clínico
Vale, P.; Varandas, L.; Valente, R.; Fernandes, I.; Vasconcelos, C.; Gomes, C.Descreve-se um caso de malária grave por Plasmodium falciparum numa criança de raça negra, de 5 anos de idade, residente em Angola até 2 semanas antes do internamento. Apesar da terapêutica com quinino i.v. o quadro evoluiu com falência multiorgânica, nomeadamente coma, insuficiência renal, necrose hepática, diátese hemorrágica e rabdomiólise. Foi necessário instituir ventilação mecânica e na terapêutica de sup...
Reanimação Cardio-Respiratória numa Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos ...
Vale, M. C.; Macedo, A.; Marques, A.; Barata, D.; Fernandes, I.; Estrada, J.; Ramos, J.; Ventura, L.; Santos, M.; Valente, R.; Vasconcelos, C.Os autores analisam um grupo de doentes submetidos a reanimação cardio-respiratória, numa Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos, num períodode dois anos. Todos os doentes reanimados pertenciam às classes CCS III e IV. Sobreviveram 22.7% dos reanimados, dois dos quais com graves sequelas neurológicas. Não houve sobrevivência nos doentes com reanimações superiores a 30 minutos e a maior percentagem de sobrev...
