Thermodynamic and structural studies of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and simvastatin
Simões, Ricardo Alexandre Gravata, 1983-Tese de doutoramento, Química (Química-Física), Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências, 2013 ; This thesis was focused on the study of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and simvastatin, from a thermodynamic and structural point of view. The work was part an ongoing investigation by the Molecular Energetics group on how structural changes affect the energetics of different molecular organic solids. Studies of the tw...
Improving FEM crash simulation accuracy through local thickness estimation base...
Ferreira, Vânio; Santos, Luís Paulo; Franzen, Markus; Ghouati, Omar; Simões, RicardoManuscript ; In this paper, we present a method for estimating local thickness distribution in finite element models, applied to injection molded and cast engineering parts. This method features considerable improved performance compared to two previously proposed approaches, and has been validated against thickness measured by different human operators. We also demonstrate that the use of this method for assi...
A telerehabilitation system based on wireless motion capture sensors
Macedo, Pedro; Afonso, José A.; Rocha, Luís A.; Simões, RicardoThe constant growth of the elderly population in the world creates new challenges and opportunities in health care systems. New technological solutions have to be found in order to meet the needs and demands of our aging society. The welfare and quality of life of the elderly population must be a priority. Continuous physical activity will play an important role, due to the increase of the retirement age. Howev...
Comparison of energy cost of maximal strength and local muscle endurance traini...
Sindorf, Márcio Antonio Gonsalves; Simões, Ricardo Adamoli; Gonelli, Pamela Roberta Gomes; Montebelo, Maria Imaculada de Lima; Pellegrinotti, Idico LuizThe aim of this study was to compare the energy cost (EC) of two weight training protocols in young women. Twelve women between 18 and 29 years old participated in the study. All the volunteers were under one maximum repetition test (1RM), protocols of maximum strength training (MS), and local muscle endurance training (LME). At rest, during of the training session and 30 minutes of recovery, the measures of th...
VIVÊNCIAS DO DOENTE SUBMETIDO A PROSTATECTOMIA RADICAL
Simões, Ricardo Manuel BarrocasA "transição" saúde-doença é considerada como um período de mudança na vida do indivíduo e nas pessoas que o rodeiam, portanto é importante que a atenção dos Enfermeiros seja dirigida para estes e nas suas respostas aos problemas de saúde. Matos e Pereira (2005) referem que, muitas vezes, os efeitos colaterais do tratamento do cancro são percepcionados pelos doentes como mais agressivos do que a própria doença....
A Digital Game Development Education Project
F. Rodrigues, Nuno; Simões, Ricardo; L. Vilaça, JoãoThe success of the digital game industry is spawning several undergraduate degrees aiming at the training of digital game developers. Building adequate new courses curricula is not a trivial task and demands a profound analysis of the scientific areas to introduce as well as the dependencies throughout the entire degree. Another important aspect of every academic educational plan are the satellite projects that...
Integrating environmental and economic life cycle analysis in product developme...
Simões, Carla L.; Pinto, Ligia M. Costa; Simoes, Ricardo; Bernardo, C.A.Purpose Achieving sustainability by rethinking products, services and strategies is an enormous challenge currently laid upon the economic sector, in which materials selection plays a critical role. In this context, the present work describes an environmental and economic life cycle analysis of a structural product, comparing two possible material alternatives. The product chosen is a storage tank, presently ma...
The quest for a sustainable product: An environmental study of tyre recyclates
Simões, Carla L.; Simoes, Ricardo; Carvalho, José; Pontes, António J.; Bernardo, C.A.The main objective of the present study is to assess the environmental advantages of substituting aluminium for a polymer composite in the manufacture of a structural product (a frame to be used as a support for solar panels). The composite was made of polypropylene and a recycled tyres’ rubber granulate. Analysis of different composite formulations was performed, to assess the variation of the environmental im...
Improving the environmental performance of bedding products by using life cycle...
Lanoë, Thomas; Simões, Carla L.; Simoes, RicardoImprovement of the environmental performance of processes and products is a common objective in industry, and has been receiving increased attention in recent years. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the potential environmental impact of two bedding products, a polyurethane foam mattress (PFM) and a pocket spring mattress (PSM). These two types are the most common mattresses used in Europe. A Life ...
Molecular dynamics computer simulation of scratch resistance testing of polymer...
Brostow, Witold; Deshpande, Sameer; Hilbig, Travis; Simoes, RicardoExperimental scratch resistance testing provides two numbers: the penetration depth Rp and the healing depth Rh. In molecular dynamics computer simulations, we create a material consisting of N statistical chain segments by polymerization; a reinforcing phase can be included. Then we simulate the movement of an indenter and response of the segments during X time steps. Each segment at each time step has three C...
