Fully protected marine areas linked to reduced home ranges of fishes
Ohayon, S.; Abecasis, D.; Almeida, P.R.; Alós, J.; Aspillaga, E.; Belo, A.F.; Costa, J.L.; Franco, A.; Lorenzo, M.; Ferguson, A.; Guidetti, P.Home range size is a fundamental trait that can affect the probability of fish being harvested and, at the same time, may be affected by fishing. The relationship between home range size and fishing will impact the effectiveness of fully protected areas (FPAs), as it will influence the number of fish moving into fished areas, affecting both spillover and edge effects. One hypothesis is that individuals within F...
Livro Vermelho dos Peixes Dulciaquícolas e Diádromos de Portugal Continental
Magalhães, M.F.; Amaral, S.D.; Sousa, M.; Alexandre, C.M.; Almeida, P.R.; Alves, M.J.; Cortes, R.; Farrobo, A.; Filipe, A. F.; Franco, A.; Jesus, J.As Listas Vermelhas de Espécies Ameaçadas da União Internacional para a Conservação da Natureza constituem indicadores importantes do estado da biodiversidade, e são amplamente utilizadas para informar e estruturar as atividades de conservação. Estas Listas, publicadas em Livros Vermelhos, resultam de um rigoroso processo de avaliação, baseado num sistema de categorias e critérios de diagnóstico do risco de ext...
Gamification system for eco-driving: Enhancing driver motivation and fuel savin...
Cale, D.; Franco, A.; Ferreira, J. C.; Rocha, J.Implementing a gamification system aims to motivate drivers to adopt eco-friendly driving behaviors and subsequently achieve fuel savings. The growing concern for environmental sustainability and the imperative to reduce carbon emissions from vehicular activities have led to increased interest in eco-driving practices. Gamification, which leverages elements from game design in non-game contexts, offers a promis...
Sustainable use of geothermal resources in the Ribeira Grande geothermal field,...
Franco, A.; Ortolá, R.; Ponte, C.; Guimarães, T.ABSTRACT: The use of geothermal resources for power production on São Miguel Island has almost 40 years of accumulated experience. In the last decade, the stable power output from Pico Vermelho and Ribeira Grande geothermal plants have been providing up to 44% of the electricity needs of São Miguel Island. Throughout the history of the project, EDA RENOVÁVEIS has been carefully monitoring the Ribeira Grande res...
Morphological changes in Bombyx Mori silk gland and gut, in association with th...
Ramos, N.; Lourenço, L.; Franco, A.; Miranda, Margarida Silva; Silva, S.; Dias, I.; Azevedo, J.; Reis, R. L.; Gomes, Manuela E.; Faisca, P.The Bombyx mori silkworm is very important econom- ically and is a model for several studies. The larval life of silkworms is divided into five instars. The 5th instar is the longest, where the larvae show maximum food consumption and growth. The silk is produced in a paired gland composed of glandular epithelium and a lumen. Food digestion occurs in the midgut, represented by a folded columnar monolayered epit...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-08-01; Lead-free ceramics consist of ferroelectric K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) and spinel ferrimagnetic CoFe2O4 (CFO) phases were prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method. The constituent phase presence of multiferroic material was confirmed by X-ray diffraction techniques with Rietveld refinement meth...
Roadmap for a systematic review of the literature: The identity of psychology
Costa-Lobo, Cristina; Esteves, Tiago; Almeida, Leandro S.; Franco, A.; Ricou, MiguelThe systematic review of the literature concerns a scientific method of research and analysis of papers in a particular area of science. In this paper, we present the roadmap of a systematic review of the literature about the identity of Psychology. This systematization precedes a survey about this reality in Portugal, through interviews with Portuguese psychologists. This research stems from questions and refl...
Photocrosslinkable hyaluronan hydrogels incorporating platelets lysate for peri...
Babo, Pedro Miguel Sousa; Pires, R. L.; Franco, A.; Santos, L.; Rodrigues, F.; Leonor, I.; Reis, R. L.; Gomes, M. E.Guided Tissue Regeneration, as well as various combinatory therapies have been employed in the repair of periodontal defects with some success; however an optimal strategy capable of restoring the anatomy and functionality of the lost periodontal tissues is still to be achieved. Platelet Lysate (PL) has great potential for tissue regeneration, as source of growth factors involved in essential stages of wound he...
Moderate biomanipulation for eutrophication control in reservoirs using fish ca...
Amaral, S.D.; Franco, A.; Ferreira, M.T.Angling competitions are a popular leisure activity in reservoirs of Southern Portugal. These competitions can gather more than 100 anglers aiming to catch the maximum fish weight. Groundbaiting and catch-andrelease angling are two common practices for anglers in competition. In this study, the loads of nutrients from commercial groundbait powders used in angling competitions in the Maranhão reservoir and the p...
