Pulmonary Hypertension in Mitral Stenosis: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study

The potential of vernacular materials to the sustainable building design

Publicado em "Vernacular heritage and earthen architecture : contributions for sustainable development", ISBN 978-1-138-00083-4 ; Vernacular architecture embodies a plurality of constraints from places where it belongs, in which the use of local materials and techniques is one of the main features. When compared with industrially-produced materials, vernacular materials have low environmental impacts, being an...

Pulmonary Hypertension in Mitral Stenosis: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study

Tradition in Continuity : thermal monitoring in vernacular architecture of farm...

The study focuses on the identification of a typology of vernacular architecture, characterized by dispersion and isolation on a territory usually associated with concentrated settlements. This paper aims to contribute for understanding how local factors (climate, economy, culture, etc.) influenced vernacular architecture in the northeast of Portugal by analysing the strategies and building solutions that enabl...

The contribute of using vernacular materials and techniques for sustainable bui...

The use of local materials and techniques is one of the main features from vernacular architecture. When compared with industrially-produced materials, vernacular materials have low environmental impacts, being an alternative for sustainable building. However, industrialization have brought new standardized materials that led to the homogenization of the different building approaches and spawned a universal arc...

The influence of anthropometric, kinematic and energetic variables and gender o...

The aim of this study was to assess the: (i) gender; (ii) performance and; (iii) gender versus performance interactions in young swimmers’ anthropometric, kinematic and energetic variables. One hundred and thirty six young swimmers (62 boys: 12.76 ± 0.72 years old at Tanner stages 1-2 by self-evaluation; and 64 girls: 11.89 ± 0.93 years old at Tanner stages 1-2 by self-evaluation) were evaluated. Performance, a...

Mean pulmonary arterial pressure after percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty predic...

INTRODUCTION AND AIM: Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV) is an effective treatment option for mitral stenosis (MS), but its success is assessed on the basis of clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in studies with relatively short follow-up. We aimed to characterize a cohort of patients undergoing PMV with long-term follow-up and to determine independent predictors of post-PMV mitral re-intervention and ...

Energy efficiency principles in Portuguese vernacular architecture

Vernacular architecture is characterized by formally expressing several constraints – geographical, climatic and economic – from the places where it is. In its plurality, it manifests several constraints from places and communities who built and inhabit them. Those constraints are reflected in regional differentiation of the strategies used to mitigate the climate effects. Portugal, despite the small size of th...

Princípios de sustentabilidade na arquitectura vernacular em Portugal

A arquitectura vernacular materializa de forma particular uma pluralidade de condicionalismos — geográficos, geológicos, económicos e culturais — dos locais onde seinsere. Os condicionalismos de cada região materializaram-se em modos de construir ímpares e díspares entre si. Em comum têm o facto de serem evoluções parcimoniosas, aprimoradas empiricamente ao longo de gerações. Na sua longa evolução, e inseridas ...

Dissertação de mestrado em Construção e Reabilitação Sustentáveis ; The vernacular architecture features, in a particular way, a plurality of constraints — geographical, geological, economical and cultural — from the places where it is. The constraints of each region were materialized in unique and diverse ways of building between them. In common they have the fact that they were parsimonious evolutions, empir...
