The study of the amphorae found in an excavation in the city of Porto (Aljube) and in the hill fort of Monte Castêlo (Castro de Guifões), in Matosinhos, allows us to make some observations on two important coastal nuclei in the Peninsular Northwest. In Roman times these nuclei, situated in the banks of the Douro and Leça Rivers, acquired a privileged status in the context of the Atlantic navigation and in the t...
Two black-figured Greek vases and two other with red-figures from the collection of D. Manuel Lancastre, already published in Vasos Gregos em Portugal. Aquém das Colunas de Hércules (2007), are the subject of this paper. The authors confirm the assignment of a cup type B to Oltos painter and identify the respective painters from the other three vases.
In a time of great decline of public funding in archaeological investigation, it was formed in 2012 the research project "História do Povoamento de Picote", proposed by Associação para o Desenvolvimento Integrado de Picote (Frauga) to the University of Porto (UP). This project was created with the main objective of carrying out excavations in the archaeological site of Puio, as well as the recovery of other inf...
Imported African terra sigillata in Bracara Augusta.
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the stability of astaxanthin after drying and storage at different conditions during a 9-week period. Recovery of astaxanthin was evaluated by extracting pigments from the dried powders and analysing extracts by HPLC. The powders obtained were stored under different conditions of temperature and oxygen level and the effects on the degradation of astaxanthin were ...
We develop a genetic algorithm for the topological design of survivable optical transport networks with minimum capital expenditure. Using the developed genetic algorithm we can obtain near-optimal topologies in a short time. The quality of the obtained solutions is assessed using an integer linear programming model. Two initial population generators, two selection methods, two crossover operators, and two popu...
The dislike food preferences that children registered regarding vegetables and fish compromise the exposure to those iodine sources and may contribute to cause a nutritional deficiency in this micronutrient, causing serious damage of the brain and the central nervous system. Functional foods are becoming well-established in the market, focused on by an adult consumer more interested in healthy eating habits but...

We address the problem of generating physical realistic optical transport network topologies. This type of network has characteristics that differ from scale-free networks, such as the Internet. Based on the analysis of a set of real transport topologies, we identify and assess relevant characteristics. Amethod to generate realistic topologies is proposed. The proposed method is validated by comparing the chara...
A massificação do acesso à Internet e o surgimento de novos serviços de telecomunicações tem originado um crescimento continuado do tráfego. As modernas redes de telecomunicações são suportadas por sistemas ópticos baseados em múltiplos comprimentos de onda e dotadas de mecanismos de sobrevivência contra falhas. Nesta dissertação estudamos o problema do desenho topológico de uma rede óptica sobrevivente. O prob...
