In Portugal, the flowers of Cynara cardunculus L. are traditionally used for the production of cheese “Serra da Estrela”, because they are responsible for the phenomenon of the coagulation of milk. The leaves may be used in diet as teas, soups, stews or salads. The phenolic compounds, such as phenolic acids and flavonoids, have been associated to their potential health benefits.The objective of this work was to...
The main aim of this work was to study the removal efficiency of Pb from synthetic and industrial wastewaters by using biomass fly ashes. The biomass fly ashes were produced in a biomass boiler of a pulp and paper industry. Three concentrations of Pb2+ were tested in the synthetic wastewater (1, 10 and 1000 mg Pb/L). Moreover, two different wastewaters were collected in an industrial wastewater treatment plant ...

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...
A novel biomimetic microsensor for measuring nitric oxide (NO) in the brain in vivo was developed. The sensor consists of hemin and functionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes covalently attached to chitosan via the carbodiimide crosslinker EDC followed by chitosan electrodeposition on the surface of carbon fiber microelectrodes. Cyclic voltammetry supported direct electron transfer from the FeIII/FeII couple of...

O presente trabalho descreve o estudo realizado sobre um sistema portátil de apoio a uma visita museológica, procurando compreender as características mais vantajosas e o modo de implementação mais favorável a tal sistema. Simultaneamente, é feita uma abordagem à percepção e ao grau de aceitação do público a um sistema deste género, no contexto da visita a um museu. De forma a responder a estas questões, foi de...
Hydrogen storage has proved to be the greatest obstacle preventing hydrogen from replacing fossil fuels. Hence, a safe, efficient and economical method of storing hydrogen must be available to turn viable a hydrogen economy based on renewable resources [1]. Hydrogen can be stored in chemical hydrides such as sodium borohydride (NaBH4), with large theoretical H2 content of 10,9 wt%. With the aid of catalysts, an...
Tese de doutoramento em Informática ; This dissertation documents our exploratory research aimed at investigating the utilization of intelligent agents in the development of automated financial trading strategies. In order to demonstrate this potential use for agent technology, we propose a hybrid cognitive architecture meant for the creation of autonomous agents capable of trading different types of financial...
