It is recognized that it is important to develop activities that involve children in the use of different digital resources. However, this involvement must be gone with, mediated, and supervised by a responsible and knowledgeable adult, thus making digital resources helpful and beneficial for the progress of children’s different skills. The research we have carried out has focused, among other things, on the fo...
Made available in DSpace on 2021-06-25T12:23:45Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-11-01; Transposition of maxillary teeth is an eruptive disturbance occurring in approximately 1 of every 300 orthodontic patients. Such cases are frequently very challenging in terms of treatment planning and orthodontic management. The canine is one of the most commonly transposed teeth, ectopically positione...
The unprecedented pervasiveness of IoT systems is pushing this technology into increasingly stringent domains. Such application scenarios become even more challenging due to the demand for encompassing the interplay between safety and security. The IEEE 802.15.4 DSME MAC behavior aims at addressing such systems by providing additional deterministic, synchronous multi-channel access support. However, despite the...
The deployment of information and communication technologies in vehicles and into the transportation infrastructure in general, holds the promise of significant improvements to traffic safety and efficiency. The ETSI ITS-G5 standard presents itself as a viable and already available solution, to enable such intelligent social and mobility scenarios in the near future, including cooperative and autonomous vehicle...
Cooperative vehicle platooning applications increasingly demand realistic simulation tools to ease their validation, and to bridge the gap between development and real-word deployment. However, their complexity and cost, often hinders its validation in the real-world. In this paper we propose a realistic simulation framework for vehicular platoons that integrates Gazebo with OMNeT++ over Robot Operating System ...
Safety-critical cooperative vehicle applications such as platooning, require extensive testing, however, the complexity and cost involved in this process, increasingly demands for realistic simulation tools to ease the validation of such technologies, helping to bridge the gap between development and real-word deployment. In this paper we propose a realistic co-simulation framework for cooperative vehicles, tha...
A escolha da temática “ Novos Paradigmas de Ocupação Humana do Território nos UAE ”, prende-se com uma necessidade urgente em desenvolver pensamento, planeamento do território e soluções constructivas que se adequam aos biomas, sociedade e economia deste país, que pela sua projeccção e importância no seu contexto regional, poderá servir como modelo para outras regiões classificadas como desérticas, semi-desérti...
Objetivo: Este artigo tem como objetivo avaliar os estilos de liderança em cada nível hierárquico, a fim de apoiar o processo de implementação enxuta, propondo um método para sistematizar essa avaliação em cada fase de implementação.Metodologia: O método proposto integra aspectos relacionados ao modelo de liderança situacional na implementação enxuta, sendo aplicado em uma grande empresa de autopeças que vem há...
Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis is essential for the life and health of trees in temperate and boreal forests where it plays a major role in nutrient cycling and in functioning of the forest ecosystem. Trees with ectomycorrhizal root tips are more tolerant to environmental stresses, such as drought, and biotic stresses such as root pathogens. Detailed information on these molecular processes is essential for the unde...
This paper shows the use of the instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) technique to calibrate Aethalometer instruments’ response to iron oxides present in Saharan dust aerosol. The five samples selected for this calibration were collected with a seven-wavelength Aethalometer (model AE31) at the summit of Pico mountain (2225 m ASL) in the Azores Islands. These samples correspond to measurements taken be...
