- Hypothalamic GPR139 as a potential target for the treatment of obesity, AP.R
Abstract
Obesity affects over 600 million people worldwide and, despite recent therapeutic advance in the field, projections estimate a continuous increase of its prevalence over the next decade. In this context, the identification of new targets could improve therapeutic strategies and contribute to revert the current epidemiological scenario. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the targets f…
- Roadmapping to resilient urban public transport systems in small and mid-sized cities, AP.R
Abstract
The increasing challenges posed by climate change and the need for adaptable transport systems require understanding the impact of climate-related events on public transport and proposing suitable solutions to enhance urban resilience. Therefore, this research project aims to develop a planning tool that enhances the resilience of public transport systems in small and medium-sized cities …
- Forever chemicals in Amazonian rivers around the city of Manaus/Brazil, AP.R
Abstract
The Amazon has the largest rainforest in the world, which plays a key role in the water and carbon cycles. It also has an extensive biodiversity in terms of plants, animals, and microorganisms and contains about 15% of all fresh water on the planet. On the other hand, the Brazilian population in the Amazon increased from 8.2 million in 1972 to 28.1 million inhabitants in 2020, and consequ…
- Modern - Modelling demand for railway networks, AP.R
Abstract
The problem addressed in this project is the mode choice estimation of intercity trips in Brazil if railway passenger services were to compete with existing transport choices. This study carries particular relevance in that it provides evidence of the potential demand under scenarios where different train services run between cities over a specific region of the country using different se…
- Mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), accounting quality and investment decision for Latin American firms, AP.R
Abstract
This project aims to investigate whether Latin American firms can benefit from the mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), by evaluating the impact of IFRS adoption, institutional settings and firm-level incentives on firms' accounting information quality, debt and equity financing and institutional investment decisions, which are the key components for t…
- 3D printing of micro-patterned gaseous detectors: a route for sensor adaptability and optimisation, AP.R
Abstract
We propose an alternative route to the conventional production of Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) type detectors used in nuclear and particle physics for radiation detection. Currently such detectors, as used at CERN for example, are produced by lithography and chemical etching. Such a method limits geometric variations of the devices and is relatively slow in the production of modified des…
