Os montados constituem ecossistemas com uma estrutura artificial do tipo parque, apresentando uma dominante arbórea. Os montados têm elevado valor em termos de diversidade biológica, qualidade paisagística e do ponto de vista produtivo, fruto de um sistema de produção em que o agricultor combina diferentes formas de utilização da terra, dos recursos de trabalho e dos meios de produção, com vista à obtenção de d...
É unanimemente reconhecido pelos especialistas a necessidade de implementar formas eficazes de prevenção contra os incêndios rurais/florestais, formas essas que se consubstanciam em métodos de redução da massa combustível. A pastorícia, juntamente como o roçar dos matos e respectivo uso para fazer camas para o gado, constituía o método ancestral mais usado em Portugal caído em desuso devido a razões económicas ...

Traditional extensive grazing systems in Southern Portugal relying exclusively on herdsmen that live in permanence with the animals are in peril, since herdsman is the least attractive among rural professions. Recently, namely after the entry in the EEC in 1986, and taking advantage of the UE structural funds, infrastructures aimed at extensive livestock production, such as fencing and water supply have been in...
As part of an extensive study in the Portuguese Island population of families with multiple patients suffering from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, we performed an initial genome-wide scan of 16 extended families with bipolar disorder that identified three regions on chromosomes 2, 11, and 19 with genome-wide suggestive linkage and several other regions, including chromosome 6q, also approached suggestive l...
We present a method to include the effects of light excitation on two different models of resonant-tunneling-diode-based devices. Our approach takes into account both photoconductive and charge accumulation effects responsible for shifting the static I –V curve when the structure is under light excitation. Computational simulations led to good agreement between the model and experimental results
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is common in Europe affecting up to 1:500 people. In an effort to identify genes influencing susceptibility to the disease, we have performed a population-based whole genome screen for association. In this study, 6000 microsatellite markers were typed in separately pooled DNA samples from MS patients (n = 188) and matched controls (n = 188). Interpretable data was obtained from 4661 of t...
