O concelho de Vendas Novas, em especial a partir das duas últimas décadas, tem vindo a afirmar-se como um território com dinâmicas populacionais e empresariais de tendência inversa às verificadas na generalidade do Alentejo, região em que se insere – território sobejamente caracterizado como duplamente envelhecido e desertificado, associado a um débil tecido empresarial/industrial. Os autores apresentam um caso...
A determinação do componente horizontal da velocidade aerodinâmica no regime de baixas velocidades, tipicamente abaixo de 40 kt, tem sido um grande desafio para a engenharia de asas rotativas. Dentro desse contexto, este trabalho desenvolve um equacionamento matemático, em formato de redes neurais, para estimar o componente horizontal da velocidade aerodinâmica da aeronave AS 355 F2, por meio de programas compu...
Parasitic plants (mistletoes) may alter the growth, reproduction and physiology of their hosts. Mimosa calodendron (Fabaceae) is a legume abundant in rupestrian fields on ironstone outcrops, frequently attacked by the hemiparasite Struthanthus flexicaulis (Loranthaceae). The objective of this study was to evaluate the consequences of parasitism by S. flexicaulis on the fitness of M. calodendron. The intensity o...
The most efficient algorithms for solving the single-criterion 0,1-knapsack problem are based on the core concept (i.e., based on a small number of relevant variables). But this concept is not used in problems with more than one criterion. The main purpose of this paper is to validate the existence of such a set of variables in bi-criteria 0-1-knapsack instances. Numerical experiments were performed on five typ...
This article presents a conceptual benchmarking framework which applies a multiple criteria approach to assess performance. In the process, a multiple criteria procedure is used to assess the performance of three hundred and ninety two (392) Portuguese firms. Based on the results of this procedure, a conceptual framework is devised to facilitate addressing relevant benchmarking implications. The framework is de...
Leiothrix is endemic of South America and includes 37 species, 25 of which occur in the state of Minas Gerais. Nineteen of those occur in the "Serra do Cipó", a mountain chain, located in the southern portion of the Espinhaço mountain range. This study examines vegetative propagation strategies of four species of Leiothrix, endemic to the Minas Gerais portion of the Espinhaço mountain range. For each species we...
Leiothrix flagellaris is a small clonal plant that grows in sandy/rocky, nutrient poor soils in the rocky grasslands ("campos rupestres") of southeastern Brazil. In the rainy season most of their flower heads differentiate into small rosettes, produced by pseudovivipary, and connected to the mother-plant by flexible, elongated stalks that can reach up to 90cm. Most of these rosettes remain suspended over rocks ...
In this paper, we present an aggregate production planning (APP) model applied to a Portuguese firm that produces construction materials. A multiple criteria mixed integer linear programming (MCMILP) model is developed with the following performance criteria: (1) maximize profit, (2) minimize late orders, and (3) minimize work force level changes. It includes certain operational features such as partial inflexi...
Abstract. Sorting models consist in assigning alternatives evaluated on several criteria to ordered categories. To implement such models it is necessary to set the values of the preference parameters used in the model. Rather than fixing the values of these parameters directly, a usual approach is to infer these values from assignment examples provided by the decision maker (DM), i.e., alternatives for which (...
