- 16.P15. Branchial osmoregulatory response to salinity challenge in the Lusitanian toadfishPublication . Guerreiro, Pedro M; Laiz-Carrión, R.; Haond, Christophe; Modesto, Teresa; Fuentes, Juan; Mancera, J. M.; Canario, Adelino V. M.Halobatrachus didactylus, a marine teleost found in coastal lagoons and river estuaries is often exposed to important salinity changes. Despite its aglomerular kidney, it is able to survive in hypo-osmotic environments, likely via compensatory actions from gills and intestine. We aimed at evaluating the response of the branchial tissue of H. didactylus to salinity changes.
- 1ª Jornadas do Teatro do Oprimido, 13 e 14 de abril 2017Publication . Baião, Ana; Alves, Paulo; Correia, Raquel AlmeidaAs I Jornadas do Teatro do Oprimido nos dias 13 e 14 de abril, na Escola Superior de Educação e Comunicação, têm como objetivo a divulgação, a difusão, a partilha e a reflexão desta poética teatral, que produz: participação através de um diálogo horizontal entre pessoas, independentemente da sua raça, género, credo, classe, orientação sexual; consciencialização de um sentido crítico face ao modo como se aceita e se conhece o mundo; valorização das várias vozes e suas histórias de vida como conhecimento; intenção na tensão que promove entre minorias e maiorias e modos alternativos de se ser em sociedade; questionação de um status quo que transgride cânones sociais, culturais, educativos, teatrais e económicos. Com estas Jornadas pretendemos congregar pessoas diferentes, de diversas valências sociais, de diferentes zonas do país e fora de portas também, num debate enriquecedor sobre experiências em Teatro do Oprimido como (trans)formador de pessoas que procuram acima de tudo um mundo mais justo e equitativo. O Teatro do Oprimido foi criado por Augusto Boal em países da América Latina em 1971 aquando do seu exílio. Em 1978 fixou-se em Paris e fundou o Centro de Teatro do Oprimido (CTO)- Paris. O Teatro do Oprimido existe há 46 anos espalhado pelos cinco continentes e segundo o CTO – Rio é praticado em mais de setenta países.
- 1st METECH workshop – From deep-sea to coastal zones: Methods and Techniques for studying PalaeoenvironmentsPublication . Veiga-Pires, Cristina; Guillaume St-OngeReconstructing past climate and past ocean circulation demands the highest possible precision and accuracy which urges the scientific community to look at different sediment records such as the ones from coastal zones to deep-sea with a more complete set of technical and methodological tools. However, the information given by each tool varies in precision, accuracy and in significance according to their environmental settings. It is therefore essential to compare tools. With that in mind, and as part of the International year of Planet Earth, a workshop entitled `From deep-sea to coastal zones: Methods and Techniques for studying palaeoenvironments' took place in Faro (Portugal), from 25–29 February 2008.
- 2.P3. Cloning and gene expression of two novel stanniocalcin genes in the puffer fish Tetraodon nigroviridisPublication . Schein, V; Schein, Vanessa; Pinto, Patricia IS; Canario, Adelino V. M.Stanniocalcin 1 (STC1) is a hypocalcemic hormone first described in fishes. Recently a second gene (STC2) was isolated from mammals and fishes. However, in silico analysis of Tetraodon nigroviridis and Takifugu rubripes genomes revealed the presence of a third and a fourth gene. In this study STC1 was cloned from de Corpuscles of Stannius (CS), STC2 from the muscle, and the two novel genes identified, STC1B and STC2B from the brain of Tetraodon. The STC-1B gene encodes an ORF of 287aa and contains 11 conserved cyteine residues and the Nlinked glycosylation site, present in all identified STC1.
- 7th International ISEKI-Food Conference: next-generation of food research, education and industry. Book of abstractsPublication . Vieira, Margarida; Dubois-Brissonnet, Florence; Moussa, Marwen; Venskutonis, Rimantas; Costa, Rui; Chrysanthopoulou, FoteiniAs part of its mission, ISEKI-Food Association establishes and maintains a network among universities, research institutions, and companies in the food chain in addition to working to ensure that food studies are of high quality. However, we must also begin planning how to gear science, education, and the food industry to meet the needs of future generations as well as how to contribute to the sustainability of our planet by these food actors. In light of this, the 7th International ISEKI-Food Conference, which had as main theme “NEXT-GENERATION OF FOOD RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY”, focused on future challenges in education on food science and technology, in research activities related to processing, quality and safety, packaging of foods and in societal engagements in the field divided in three main sections: EDUCATION: CHALLENGES OF EDUCATION IN A CHANGING WORLD; RESEARCH: NEXT GENERATION OF FOODS; and SOCIETY ENGAGEMENT: SOCIETY AND FOOD INDUSTRY. The conference was dedicated to all food actors, creating bridges among them. The delegates had the opportunity to exchange new ideas and experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations, and find global partners for future collaborations.
- A background-priority discrete boundary triangulation methodPublication . Loke, R. E.; Jansen, F. W.; du Buf, J. M. H.Discrete boundary triangulation methods generate triangular meshes through the centers of the boundary voxels of a volumetric object. At some voxel configurations it may be arbitrary whether a part of the volume should be included in the object or could be classified as background. Consequently, important details such as concave and convex edges and corners are not consistently preserved in the describing geometry. We present a "background priority" version of an existing "object priority" algorithm [6]. We show that the ad hoc configurations of the well-known Discretized Marching Cubes algorithm [13] can be derived from our method and that a combined triangulation with "object priority" and "background priority" better would preserve object details.
- A biological sound source localization modelPublication . Azarfar, A.; du Buf, J. M. H.In this paper we address sound source localization in the azimuthal plane. Various models, from the cochlear nuclei to the inferior colliculi, are implemented to achieve accurate and reliable localization. Coincidence detector cells in the medial nuclei and cells sensitive to interaural level difference in the lateral nuclei of the superior olive are combined with models of V-and I-type neurons plus azimuth map cells in the inferior colliculus. An advanced cell distribution in the inferior colliculus is proposed to keep ITD functions at any frequency within the physiological range of the head. Additional projections from the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus and the medial nucleus of the superior olive are modeled such that interaural time differences in different frequency bands converge to a single result. Experimental results demonstrate good performance in case of a variety of normal sounds.

- A comparison of four data selection methods for artificial neural networks and support vector machinesPublication . Khosravani, Hamid Reza; Ruano, Antonio; Ferreira, P. M.The performance of data-driven models such as Artificial Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines relies to a good extent on selecting proper data throughout the design phase. This paper addresses a comparison of four unsupervised data selection methods including random, convex hull based, entropy based and a hybrid data selection method. These methods were evaluated on eight benchmarks in classification and regression problems. For classification, Support Vector Machines were used, while for the regression problems, Multi-Layer Perceptrons were employed. Additionally, for each problem type, a non-dominated set of Radial Basis Functions Neural Networks were designed, benefiting from a Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm. The simulation results showed that the convex hull based method and the hybrid method involving convex hull and entropy, obtain better performance than the other methods, and that MOGA designed RBFNNs always perform better than the other models.
