Abstract:

Abstract Recent studies have shown that the formation of the well-defined, zonally oriented Azores Current may be the result of water mass transformation associated with the Mediterranean outflow in the Gulf of Cadiz. As the denser Mediterranean water descends down the continental slope, it entrains overlying North Atlantic Central Water. It is believed that the Azores Current then forms as part of the horizontal recirculating gyre generated through the β-plume mechanism. In this study, the authors further explore this hypothesis by performing a series of numerical experiments. These experimen

Throughout history, times of crisis have always been preceded by periods of change. In fact, the current moment of health, economic, and social crisis that we are experiencing seems to be no exception. Tourism seems to be one of the most affected activities by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis—due not only the cancelled flights but also to the fear of being infected with the virus. In this sense, the present article intends to identify the Azores Archipelago residents’ tourism expectations during the COVID-19 crisis.

Abstract. Two years of altimetric data from Topex/Poseidon (October 1992–September 1994) and ERS-1 (October 1992–December 1993) were assimilated into a numerical model of the North Atlantic. The results of these simulations are analysed in the Azores region to assess the performance of our model in this particular region. Maps of instantaneous dynamic topography and transports show that the model performs well in reproducing the velocities and transports of the Azores Front.

Abstract:

Abstract The oceanic response to overflows is explored using a two-layer isopycnal model. Overflows enter the open ocean as dense gravity currents that flow along and down the continental slope. While descending the slope, overflows typically double their volume transport by entraining upper oceanic water. The upper oceanic layer must balance this loss of mass, and the resulting convergent flow produces significant vortex stretching. Overflows thus represent an intense and localized mass and vorticity forcing for the upper ocean. In this study, simulations show that the upper ocean responds to

Abstract:

This study addresses a current debate in the family business literature involving the extent to which the family business context hinders or promotes entrepreneurial behavior. The empirical evidence is provided by 155 small-sized firms, 82 family-controlled and 73 nonfamily-controlled, operating in an outermost region, the Autonomous Region of the Azores. This study analyzes the differences between family and nonfamily firms in regard to entrepreneurial orientation and how it is influenced by family participation. Results show that there are differences in entrepreneurship orientation and in t

Abstract:

The name Reteporella jullieni is currently used to designate two different species of bryozoans from Atlantic deep waters, Reteporella jullieni (Calvet, 1907), described originally as Retepora arborea from the northwest of Spain, and Reteporella jullieni Calvet, 1931, described from the Azores. Successive changes in the genus assignation of the first species, until its current inclusion in the genus Reteporella, have caused the present situation. This represents a case of secondary homonymy as described in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Here, a new name (Reteporella azorens

Abstract:

Abstract Probability distribution functions of displacement are central to Lagrangian statistics and the study of fluid dispersal. A method for computing marginal probability distributions of passive tracer dispersal from Lagrangian observations is developed. Using a pseudotrack approach, probability distributions for the domain of occupation and transit time are developed, complimenting more frequently used bulk statistics for average transit time and overall crossing probability. To demonstrate application of this technique to observations, likelihoods and time scales of dispersal from the G

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the psychometric properties and the factor structure of the Portuguese version of the Short-Form Survivor Unmet Needs Survey (SF-Suns). The sample comprises 151 cancer survivors from the Azores (Portugal), who completed a survey assessing unmet needs (SF-Suns), psychological symptoms (HADS) and quality of life (QLQ-C30). A Confirmatory Factorial Analysis (CFA) and an Exploratory Factorial Analysis (EFA) were conducted to assess the factorial structure of the SF-Suns. The results of the CFA indicated that the original SF-Suns model did not present an adequate fit

Abstract:

Abstract During the past decade, regional changes in the dynamics of the Atlanto-Iberian stock of sardine, and its exploitation by Portuguese and Spanish purse-seine fisheries, have increased the uncertainties in estimated trends of spawning biomass, stock abundance, and fishing mortality. Together with recent evidence for lack of discontinuities in the distribution of sardine eggs at the edges of the stock area, this casts doubts on the hypothesis that the stock is a panmictic, closed population.

Abstract:

In this study, the cathodic activity of biofilmed stainless steel surfaces was investigated at two exposure depths at the same location at 1,020 m and 2,020 m depth. For this purpose, a set of passive materials and sensors were exposed for 11 months in Azores, in the Atlantic Ocean. Characteristic cathodic depolarizations due to biological activity were observed in intermediary and deep water. However, a strong cathodic activity was only measured in deep water. Potential ennoblement appeared between 80 d and 200 d, depending on the exposure depth and the experimental setup used. In a given env

Abstract:

Abstract Portugal, located in the southwest region of the Eurasian plate, has been affected by several destructive earthquakes throughout its history, the most well-known being the 1755 Great Lisbon earthquake. The seismicity of the territory, both in the mainland and in the Azores and Madeira islands, has prompted the continuous development of seismic monitoring, from the first known macroseismic inquiry, following the 1755 Great Lisbon earthquake, to the current state-of-the-art seismic network. Once scattered in separate efforts, at present, most seismic stations in Portugal relay its data

Abstract:

Abstract The geographical location of the Azores, midway between Europe and America, poses problems relative to their colonization and the biogeographic affinity of the biota presently living there. In the way of the Gulf Stream, originating off American shores, the Azorean biota, marine and terrestrial alike is predominantly European. To explain this distributional paradigm the present study investigates the Neogene fossil record of Santa Maria, Azores in order to establish the biogeographical relationships of the Pleistocene to Recent littoral molluscan fauna of this archipelago.

Background: Despite significant advancement in oncology research, cancer still poses one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. The increased incidences of cancer may be attributed to the limited efficacy and disastrous side effects of conventional therapies like chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Azole containing medicinal agents are known for plethora of medicinal properties, including anticancer potential. Objective: In this review, we highlighted azole containing natural products with anticancer potential from marine sources. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was perfo
