Intitulando a presente dissertação de "A natureza jurídica do Contrato de Investimento: Subsídios para uma construção a partir da influência do direito do investimento estrangeiro", pretendemos expor as "forças" que convergem na construção de um regime jurídico internacional de IE, designadamente, através da arbitragem ICSID. Com base nesta abordagem, analisamos em que termos é que o IE, visto como um impulso para o desenvolvimento económico dos Estados, pode, ou não, ser caracterizado como um "brilho sem luz" na realização daquele contexto. Esta abordagem implica, assim, compreender os desafios que o regime jurídico do IE impõe no actual contexto de destatalização, ou s...
As the first book of its kind, Nancy Lee Harper’s Portuguese Piano Music: An Introduction and Annotated Bibliography fills the gap in the historical record of Portuguese piano music from its start in the 18th century to the present. While although Spanish piano music is well documented owing to the reputation of such composers as Isaac Albéniz, Enrique Granados, and Manuel de Falla, our knowledge of compositions in the tradition of Portuguese piano music has not fared as well, barring the work of Carlos Seixas (1704–1742). This obscurity, however, reflects poorly on the history of early piano music in light of the many compositions written for fortepiano on behalf of the Portuguese cour...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th IFIP WG 5.5/SOCOLNET Advanced Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems, DoCEIS 2020, held in Costa de Caparica, Portugal, in July 2020. The 20 full papers and 24 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 91 submissions. The papers present selected results produced in engineering doctoral programs and focus on technological innovation for industry and service systems. Research results and ongoing work are presented, illustrated and discussed in the following areas: collaborative networks; decisions systems; analysis and synthesis algorithms; communication systems; optimization systems; digital twins and smart manufacturing; power systems; energy control; power transportation; biomedical analysis and diagnosis; and instrumentation in health.
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
«O Direito Administrativo das Subvenções - Enquadramento, conceito e regime jurídico das subvenções-fomento» é um trabalho académico que situa o estudo das subvenções, enquanto instituto de Direito Administrativo, na actividade administrativa de fomento e que, a partir da definição de um conceito restrito de subvenção, percorreu as diversas facetas do seu regime jurídico. A presente dissertação assenta na tese da autonomia científica do Direito Administrativo das Subvenções, considerando as particularidades dos seus institutos – nomeadamente, do acto de subvenção, do contrato de subvenção, da ordem de restituição e da revogação e resolução sancionatórias –, mas também da existência de fontes normativas próprias e de princípios jurídicos específicos.
"I look beyond solution; I look for an expression."--Eduardo Souto de Moura The architect Eduardo Souto de Moura (b. 1952) has won many accolades, including the 2011 Pritzker Architecture Prize. Based in Porto, Souto de Moura studied under Fernando Távora and worked under fellow Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza, with whom he continues to collaborate. Souto de Moura established his own practice in 1980, and his wide-ranging influences, including Mies van der Rohe and Donald Judd, can be seen in the stunning variety of his work, from his acclaimed private houses, to the striking Paula Rego Museum in Cascais and the Braga Municipal Stadium, to his work in historical contexts such as the Convento das Bernardas in Tavira. This beautifully illustrated retrospective provides the most comprehensive account of Souto de Moura's career to date. Drawings, notes and sketches from his archive, and newly commissioned photographs complement essays by scholars and prominent architects that trace Souto de Moura's career, contextualize his work within the larger trends of contemporary international architectural culture, and highlight the originality of his design strategy.

The refereed proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Computational Processing of the Portuguese Language, PROPOR 2003, held in Faro, Portugal, in June 2003. The 24 revised full papers and 17 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on speech analysis and recognition; speech synthesis; pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, and the lexicon; tools, resources, and applications; dialogue systems; summarization and information extraction; and evaluation.
