- As 11 Ilhas do Espírito Santo: culto e manifestações etnográficas e multiculturaisPublication . Antunes Garcia Anacleto Matias, Maria HelenaCom a preocupação de esclarecer o significado étnico-religioso do culto ligado ao Espírito Santo, este trabalho de caráter predominantemente informativo referirá os inícios do culto do Espírito Santo em Portugal, preocupar-se-á com a Festa dos Tabuleiros em Tomar, com os Impérios do Espírito Santo Açorianos, com equivalentes Cultos de Fertilidade Africanos nas eras Pré Cristãs e com o transporte africano desses cultos para o Brasil influenciados por Portugal. O culto ao Espírito Santo, em Portugal, remonta ao século XIII, tendo tido, segundo reza a tradição popular e cristã, as suas origens no Milagre das Rosas. A criação de festividades para celebrar e agradecer ao Espírito Santo as dádivas de vida e proteção seguiram-se-lhe, dando origem a importantes Festas em várias cidades, nomeadamente na cidade dos Templários, a histórica e antiga Nabância, atualmente denominada Tomar, assim como em Santa Maria da Feira, por exemplo. Este estudo pretende relatar como, e por que razão, apareceu a Festa dos Tabuleiros, em Tomar, muito célebre pelas oferendas ao Espírito Santo e pelo seu colorido inclusivamente de caráter profano-religioso. Ver-se-á até que ponto influenciou as festas do Espírito Santo nos Açores. A tão afamada Festa dos Impérios do Espírito Santo naquelas ilhas poderá ter sido levada até elas, diretamente do continente pelos migrantes continentais que se misturaram com os Flamengos e Francófonos no povoamento da Ilha de São Miguel. O capítulo dos Cultos de Fertilidade Africanos de origem pagã são, a nosso ver, o equivalente nas eras Pré Cristãs ao culto do Espírito Santo. Tentar-se-á igualmente explicar e analisar se as tradições portuguesas continentais e dos ilhéus chegaram ao Brasil durante a cristianização das terras de Vera Cruz, misturando-se posteriormente com cultos Africanos. De Portugal ao Brasil, indo pelas 9 ilhas dos Açores e, passando por Terras de África com seus os equivalentes cultos à fertilidade, tentar-se-á fazer uma ponte de ligação multicultural entre os diversos continentes no que toca às suas tradições e festividades tanto religiosas como pagãs.
- 188Re-PEI-MP as potential agent for metabolic radiotherapyPublication . Ferreira, Sara; Abrantes, Ana Margarida; Metello, Luís F.; Zeevart, Jan; Louw, Werner; Dormehl, Irene D.; Botelho, Maria FilomenaIntroduction: 188Re is a promising radionuclide for metabolic therapy because of the emission of high energy beta-particles. The development of watersoluble bone-seeking polymers such as PEI-MP (polyethyleneimine, functionalised with methylphosphonate-groups) that might be labeled with 188Re are recent approaches, with a strong potential for bone cancer treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 188Re-PEI-MP, as therapeutic agent for osteosarcoma, through in vitro and in vivo models.

- 21st Century Challenges in Engineering and Technological learningPublication . Viegas, Clara; Marques, Arcelina; Alves, Gustavo R.The success of 21st century engineers1 depends on demanding challenges, involving a large scope of scientific and social competences. College education must help students to develop those competences in collaborative environments and better address these needs. Developing students’ knowledge and skills in contextualized engineering environments, practicing teamwork, leadership, decision-making, experimental work and critical thinking are some of the important aspects addressed in this track.
- A 360º overview of the VISIR remote laboratory in a handbookPublication . García-Zubía, Javier; Hernandez-Jayo, Unai; Alves, GustavoThe Virtual Instrument Systems In Reality (VISIR) remote laboratory was considered the best remote laboratory in the world, by the Global Online Laboratory Consortium (GOLC), in 2015. The first operational version of the VISIR remote laboratory was deployed in 2001. It was designed by Ingvar Gus tavsson, with the collaboration of Kristian Nilsson and Johan Zackrisson. Since then, VISIR has been deployed 21 times, in 19 universities, in 14 countries, on five continents. Because of it, there is a very powerful user community that serves thousands of students and is articulated around the VISIR Special Interest Group (SIG) and the VISIR Federation. However, this community of users does not have a unique document that integrates all the knowledge created and needed by the group. This paper describes the first handbook fully dedicated to the VISIR re mote laboratory, aimed at closing that gap.

- 3D vs 2D Cell Cultures in the Evaluation of Radiobiological Effects of Exposition to Low Doses - Medical Imaging Levels - of Ionizing RadiationPublication . Costa, Pedro; Caires, Hugo; Lemos, Joana; Cunha, Lídia; Bravo, Joana; Bravo, Isabel; Silva, Regina; Summavielle, Teresa; Metello, Luís F.Pretending to develop advanced biological models to study biological effects of low doses of ionizing radiation and following the actual policies on Animal Sciences, based on 3 R’s Rule (to Reduce, Refine and Replace) – that limits as much as possible the application of animal models – scientific research using cellular models is constantly increasing. Nevertheless, the intrinsic limitations of actual cellular models quite often had been recognized on a significant number of papers pointing a significant number of non-concordances between results obtained using in vitro and in vivo studies. Actually, an increasing number of authors admit that three-dimensional cell culture (and spheroid cell culture in particular) could represent an interesting solution and a step further on use of cellular models. The work here to be presented reflects the first phase on the use of this methodology on the study, evaluation and quantification of cellular effects of low doses – starting on medical imaging level - of exposition to ionizing radiation.
- 45Ti - Titanium: from cyclotron production to potential applications evaluationPublication . Costa, Pedro; Metello, Luís F.; Cunha, Lídia; Lass, Piotr; Currie, Geoff; Johnson, Richard R.; Gelbart, W.; Obermair, J.; Artner, Christoph; Alves, Francisco; Naia, M. DuarteIntroduction: Thousands of radioisotopes are known and virtually all may be artificially produced, however clinical applications of PET imaging are mainly based on 18F, 11C, 13N and 68Ga. This trend could change in the near future, since several groups worldwide are busy developing very promising new entities aiming to contribute for spreading the use and efficacy of clinical diagnostic using Nuclear Medicine imaging techniques. Our group is developing 45Ti-Titanium, assuming it as a potential candidate, since presenting interesting properties: physical half-life of 3.09h, together with relevant chemical properties, that enable radiolabelling with bifunctional chelates, ligands or could even be useful for studies concerning the distribution of new titanium-based chemotherapy drugs or titanium oxide nanoparticles. Considering that data characterizing excitation functions is necessary for radionuclide optimal production, this work aims to disseminate results regarding the determination of excitation function of 45Sc(p,n)45Ti reaction, studied as a potential route to produce 45Ti in low energy cyclotrons.
- 6D Visual Odometry with Dense Probabilistic Egomotion EstimationPublication . Silva, Hugo Miguel; Bernardino, Alexandre; Silva, EduardoWe present a novel approach to 6D visual odometry for vehicles with calibrated stereo cameras. A dense probabilistic egomotion (5D) method is combined with robust stereo feature based approaches and Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) techniques to provide high quality estimates of vehicle’s angular and linear velocities. Experimental results show that the proposed method compares favorably with state-the-art approaches, mainly in the estimation of the angular velocities, where significant improvements are achieved.
