Análise do ciclo de vida do azeite: caso de estudo do azeite de Trás-os-Montes
Cunha, Mário Sérgio Vieira daO sector do azeite é um importante sector económico no nosso país. Sendo Portugal um grande consumidor deste produto, é também um dos principais produtores Europeus (o quarto maior produtor da Europa, atrás da Grécia, Itália e Espanha) e um dos principais exportadores. A nível nacional, a região de Trás-os-Montes é, segundo o Recenseamento Agrícola de 2009, a segunda maior região olivícola e a primeira ao nível...
Nest-site selection by roseate terns breeding on aride island, Seychelles
Ramos, JaimeNest-site selection by tropical Roseate Terns (Sterna dougallii) was examined on Aride Island, Seychelles. Continuous variables reflecting concealment of the nest site, shelter, vegetation cover and intraspecific nest density were measured for nest-sites and random points. Seasonal variation in the initiation of nests with overhangs and their influence on hatching success and adult intraspecific aggression towa...
Equilibrium studies for the adsorption of fructo-oligosaccharides on a Dowex Mo...
Nobre, Clarisse; Vaňková, K.; Peres, António M.; Polakovič, M.; Teixeira, José; Rodrigues, Lígia R.Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), namely kestose, nystose and fructo-furanosylnystose, are prebiotic sugars that can be obtained from sucrose by fermentation. The resulting fermentative broth is a complex mixture containing also salts and other smaller sugars that must be removed. In this study, a Dowex Monosphere calcium resin was evaluated for the separation of sugars. The adsorption behavior of FOS contained in...

Understanding the role of local tourist actors as online destination promoters:...
Marinho, Madalena; Correia, Ricardo; Morais, Elisabete PauloLocal communities are taking an increasingly major role in communicating a destination in terms of contact with tourists. Based on the assumption that tourist entities and agents are part of this community, it can be assumed that it is necessary for the territorial marketing regulators to promote their involvement. This communication is progressively generated through information and communication technologies ...

Para o 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico utilizamos, sempre qu...
Modelling of lead removal by aquatic an moss
Martins, Ramiro; Boaventura, RuiAquatic bryophytes are frequently used as biomonitors for trace metals in aquatic ecosystems. Nevertheless, their special characteristics also allow using them as biosorbents to clean industrial wastewaters. As biosorption is a low cost and effective method for treating metal-bearing wastewaters, understanding the process kinetics is relevant for design purposes. In this study, the ability of the aquatic bryoph...
Parameter estimation of a pulp digester model with derivative-free optimization...
Seiça, J.C.; Romanenko, Andrey; Fernandes, Florbela P.; Santos, Lino O.; Fernandes, Natércia C.P.The work concerns the parameter estimation in the context of the mechanistic modelling of a pulp digester. The problem is cast as a box bounded nonlinear global optimization problem in order to minimize the mismatch between the model outputs with the experimental data observed at a real pulp and paper plant. MCSFilter and Simulated Annealing global optimization methods were used to solve the optimization proble...
Probiotic and prebiotics: impact on bioavailability of aflatoxin B1 in milk
Vasconcelos, Rute; Wochner, Katia F.; Becker-Algeri, Tania Aparecida; Rodrigues, Paula; Drunkler, Deisy A.Milk represents one of the most important dietary sources of nutrients for humans due to its rich nutritional composition. However, milk consumption is also potentially related to the ingestion of chemical contaminants such as mycotoxins. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a highly toxic mycotoxin, for both animals and humans. This toxin is frequently detected in milk, and it results from the ingestion of contaminated fee...
RAPIDS - Research Administration Professional IDentity Values Scale
Fischer, Melinda; Santos, José M.R.C.A.; Kerridge, SimonThe RAPIDS project aims to be a significant step forward in the development and professionalization of the research administration field. The creation of a Professional Identity Values Scale for Research Administrators will provide a comprehensive understanding of the values and professional identity of RAs. This, in turn, will benefit individuals by helping them align with their peers and grow professionally, ...
