Transcendent realms: immersive environment for live performance
Karasynska, AnastasiiaThe master's thesis project "Immersive Environment for Live Performance" explores the combination of artistic practice of live audiovisual performance and design in immersive spaces. In the context of rapid technological development, the project focuses on the creation of new forms of expression and the exploration of synesthetic experiences through virtual worlds. Practice-based research (PBR) is applied to co...
A control framework for a remotely operated vehicle
Sousa, J. Borges de; Fraga, Sérgio; Martins, Alfredo; Pereira, F. L.A control framework enabling the automated maneuvering of a Remotely Operate Vehicle (ROV) is presented. The control architecture is structured according to the principle of composition of vehicle motions from a minimal set of elemental maneuvers that are designed and verified independently. The principled approach is based on distributed hybrid systems techniques, and spans integrated design, simulation and im...

Construction and evaluation of cysteine selective electrodes for FIA analysis o...
Ferreira Sales, Maria Goreti; Pille, Annouschka; Paíga, PaulaA flow injection analysis (FIA) system comprising a cysteine selective electrode as detection system was developed for determination of this amino acid in pharmaceuticals. Several electrodes were constructed for this purpose, having PVC membranes with different ionic exchangers and mediator solvents. Better working characteristics were attained with membranes comprising o-nitrophenyl octyl ether as mediator sol...
Trace Elements as Contaminants and Nutrients
Couto, Cristina; Pinto, Edgar; Almeida, AgostinhoKnowledge about trace elements has evolved remarkably in recent decades, both in terms of their metabolism and their functions. Acting mainly as cofactors of enzymatic systems, several trace elements play an essential role in numerous physiological processes in the human organism, from cell metabolism to the immune response and gene expression, among others. On the other hand, it is also well known that excessi...
Do bone mineral content and density determine fracture in children? A possible ...
Martins, Ana; Monjardino, Teresa; Nogueira, Luísa; Canhão, Helena; Lucas, RaquelBackgroundRelations between bone parameters, physical exertion, and childhood fractures are complex. We aimed to estimate the associations between fracture history and bone mineral content (BMC) and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) at 7 years of age, by levels of physical activity, as a proxy for trauma frequency.MethodsWe used data collected from 2,261 children of the Generation XXI birth cohort, assembled in...
Ensemble: an innovative approach to practice computer programming
Queirós, Ricardo; Leal, José PauloCurrently, the teaching-learning process in domains, such as computer programming, is characterized by an extensive curricula and a high enrolment of students. This poses a great workload for faculty and teaching assistants responsible for the creation, delivery, and assessment of student exercises. The main goal of this chapter is to foster practice-based learning in complex domains. This objective is attained...
