Scientific objects in the exhibition CHIMICA

Secondary School André de Gouveia (ESAG) is frequently associated to Lyceu d’Évora from which it inherited the historical and cultural background. Lyceu d’Évora was established in 1841 after the educational reform of Passos Manuel and it was set at the Colégio do Espírito Santo, in Évora, until 1979. During that period, a physics and chemistry laboratory was created and developed at the Lyceu and it was enriche...

Experimental evaluation of the out-of-plane behaviour of traditional stone maso...

Recent earthquakes around the world, particularly those that have recently occurred in the southern regions of Europe, have provoked extensive damages in many traditional masonry structures calling into question the preservation and the safeguard of this heritage. This fact has driven the concern of the scientific community which has been undertaking several studies focused on the seismic vulnerability assessme...

National post hospital care project and length of hospitalization of patients w...

INTRODUCTION: The National Post Hospital Care Project was created to provide a continuity of care after hospitalization or to functionally dependent people. Currently there is a great difficulty in the integration of patients. The objective of this paper is to compare the impact of the referral to the Project versus being discharged home, in the length of stay of stroke patients between 2010 and 2011. MATERIAL ...

Cateter Ciático Popliteu: Uma Aposta Segura?

O bloqueio contínuo de nervos periféricos (BCNP), descrito inicialmente em 1946 (1), consiste na colocação e utilização de um cateter percutâneo adjacente a um ou vários nervos periféricos para administração de anestésico local. A utilização de cateteres perineurais permite prologar a analgesia associada a técnica single shot, que dura, habitualmente, 24 horas. Apesar de bem estudado para analgesia no pos-opera...

Biochemical Methane Potential of raw and pre-treated meat-processing wastes

Raw and pre-treated greaves and rinds, two meat-processing wastes, were assessed for biochemical methane potential (BMP). Combinations of temperature (25, 55, 70 and 120°C), NaOH (0.3 g g-1 waste volatile solids) and lipase from Candida rugosa (10 U g-1 fat) were applied to promote wastes hydrolysis, and the effect on BMP was evaluated. COD solubilisation was higher (66% for greaves; 55% for rinds) when greaves...

A COMBINED MULTI-ANALYTICAL APPROACH FOR THE STUDY OF ROMAN GLASS FROM SOUTH-WE...

An integrated, multi-analytical approach combining the high sensitivity of SR-mXRF, the light element capability of PIXE/PIGE under a helium flux and the spatial resolution of BSEM + EDS was used to characterize chemical composition and corrosion of glass samples (first to fourth centuries AD) from an important, but scarcely investigated, Roman region of south-west Iberia (southern Portugal). The geochemical tr...

Seismic vulnerability of churches in Faial and Pico islands, Azores

Earthquakes represent one of the main cause of serious damage and loss of historic and architectural heritage. Interventions to preserve these building should start with a careful knowledge and assessment of their seismic vulnerability, in order to support any needed retrofitting and strengthening measures. This paper proposes a procedure to register and diagnose of the level of damage on churches after the occ...

Vulnerability assessment of urban building stock: a hierarchic approach

In the last decades the evaluation of the seismic risk are of rising concern, considered essential in the activity and definition of strategy planning and urban management. The evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of the existent building stock in the perspective of the seismic risk mitigation should not be placed only in relation to the isolated buildings of relevant historical and cultural importance, but ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment of the old city centre of Seixal, Portugal

The seismic vulnerability assessment of old traditional masonry building stocks, in a seismic risk mitigation perspective, is truly essential not only for buildings with recognized historical and patrimonial value, but also, in relation to regular buildings. In this sense, this paper approaches the issue of the seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry buildings through the application of a simplified methodo...
