THE USE OF COOPERATIVE FLEXIBILITY TO IMPROVE THE ENERGY COMMUNITIES’ RESILIENCE
Jesus, Adriana Mar Brazuna deThe increasing integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid has prompted a paradigm shift towards sustainable and resilient energy systems. On the other hand, the energetic flexibility offered by shiftable loads or storage devices brings new win-win solutions for the grid, businesses, households, and the environment. This work explores the concept of Energy Communities (EnCs) cooperative flexibil...

The mediterranean diet and the increasing demand of the olive oil sector
Neves, Bruno; Pires, Iva MirandaMediterranean countries play a crucial role as olive oil producers and consumers compared to other world regions. In particular, the Northern Mediterranean countries, where Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal alone represent 68% of the world’s olive oil production and 43% of world consumption. Nevertheless, aspects such as communication with emphasis on the benefits of the Mediterranean diet - which is a distinct...
Single-Cell Profiling in Zebrafish Xenografts: Insights into Cancer Resistance
Matos, João Lourenço Pereira deO cancro da mama triplo negativo (TNBC) é um subtipo agressivo caracterizado por elevada heterogeneidade, ausência de terapias alvo e remodelação extensa do microambiente tumoral (TME). Agentes antiangiogénicos como o bevacizumab podem reduzir a expansão tumoral, mas os mecanismos de resistência e modulação imunitária permanecem pouco esclarecidos. Xenógrafos de peixe-zebra constituem um modelo in vivo versátil...

Development of Polymeric Matrices Based on Banana Plant Extracts for Biomedical...
Nascimento, Rosa Estela Abreu doThe aim of this thesis was the development and characterization of polymeric matrices, in the form of film or gels, using compounds extracted from banana plant leaves and pseudostem, in order to evaluate their potential for biomedical applications and eventually for food applications, accordingly to the features of the obtained matrices. Different extracts were obtained through Batch-Solid Liquid and Soxhlet ex...
Making Sense Out Of Nothing
Palma, Pedro Miguel Rebelo daWhen I was a child, fortunately, I used to sleep with the light on. The absence of light was lived through as a phobia, a fear of what can’t be seen, of what can’t be perceived, as an unbearable feeling of nothing, of emptiness. Death existed in that space; it walked and lived in darkness, inhabiting the unknown. Over time, these problematic issues were converted into something new. I do not know exactly what t...
Modelling and optimization of the ion exchange membrane bioreactor for removal ...
Ricardo, Ana Rita da FonsecaThe present work aimed at studying the treatment of drinking water supplies contaminated with perchlorate and nitrate, using the Ion Exchange Membrane Bioreactor (IEMB) concept. This system combines the transport of these two anions from contaminated water, through an anion exchange membrane, with their biological reduction in a separate compartment. In the IEMB, the mass transport is dependent not only from me...
Contribuição para o estudo da modelação da digestão anaeróbia de resíduos sólid...
Ferreira, Luís Manuel VicenteO presente trabalho tem como objectivo contribuir para o estudo do desenvolvimento de um modelo matemático aplicado à digestão anaeróbia de resíduos sólidos, que incorpore os condicionamentos da geometria dos reactores e a sua influência na cinética do processo biológico. Nesse sentido, o trabalho propõe-se avaliar o comportamento cinético de três reactores, com o mesmo volume mas com diferentes relações tridim...
