Thesis submitted to obtain the Doctoral degree in Energy and Bioenergy ; The main objective of this thesis was to study new valorization routes of ashes produced in combustion and co-combustion processes. Three main valorization pathways were analyzed: (i)production of cement mortars, (ii) production of concretes, and (iii) use as chemical agents to remove contaminants from wastewaters. Firstly, the ashes prod...

In 2010, Roubini and Mihm claimed:“The recent crisis highlighted the ‘too big to fail’ problem. The collapse of Lehman Brothers and the resulting cardiac arrest of the global financial system revealed that many institutions had become so large, leveraged and interconnected that their collapse could have systemic and catastrophic effects.”This global financial problem created a large impact in several economies,...
The relative influence of the factors acting upon burn probability, namely fuel and weather, is not well understood, especially in Europe. We use a digital fire atlas (1975-2008) and apply survival analysis to individual fires (1998-2008) to describe how burn probability changes with fuel age in Portugal. The typical FRI (fire return interval) and median fire-free interval vary regionally from 23 to 52 and 18 t...
Calcium oxide (CaO) powder targets have been successfully used at CERN-ISOLDE to produce neutron deficient exotic argon and carbon isotopes under proton irradiation at high temperatures (>1000oC). These targets outperform the other related targets for the production of the same beams. However, they presented either slow release rates (yields) from the beginning or a rapid decrease over time. This problem was be...
