Caracterização do comportamento de ligações aço-betão

Os autores agradecem o apoio financeiro da Comissão Europeia através do Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) através do projecto de investigação Nº RFSR-CT-2007- 00051.No presente artigo abordam-se as ligações estruturais aço-betão utilizando uma configuração desenvolvida no projecto RFCS “InFaSo”. Efectua-se uma abordagem sequencial, com caracterização numérica e analítica de partes da ligação e da ligação completa. A validação experimental é feita sempre que possível com a contribuição dos resultados do referido projecto e da literatura disponível. Assim, propõem-se modelos numéricos e analíticos que permitem avaliar o comportamento de uma ligação entre viga mista e parede de betão armado.Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS

The effect of corporate social responsibility on job pursuit intentions: Contributes from person-organization fit and organizational attractiveness

Previous studies suggest that the corporate social performance of organizations influences their attractiveness as a future workplace (e.g., Gomes & Neves, 2010; Greening & Turban, 2000). People tend to considerer an organization as more attractive when, knowing its socially responsible practices, they perceive higher levels of person-organization fit (Kim & Park, 2011). The present study analyzes how the relation between these variables translates into job pursuit intentions, namely intention to apply for a job vacancy (IAJV). In the research, CSR perception was manipulated in order to observe its effect on IAJV through the mediating effect of perceived person-organization fit and organizational attractiveness. Participants (n = 260) were randomly subjected to two experimental conditions by responding to an electronic questionnaire containing the description of an organization that implements (i.e., the high involvement condition) or not (i.e., the low involvement condition) a set of CSR practices. This was followed by questions about other variables of interest. The results of multiple mediation analyses using PROCESS (Hayes, 2013) support the proposal that CSR indirectly affects participants’ IAJV, through perceived person-organization fit and organizational attractiveness.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

More socially responsible, more ethical, more attractive as a future employer? Contributes of corporate social performance and ethical reputation for the attraction of future employees

Previous studies suggest that the corporate social performance of organizations influences their attractiveness as a workplace. This study analyzed additional variables that may help explain this relationship. In this context, an ethical reputation is a construct positively related to corporate social responsibility (CSR). In the research, CSR perception was manipulated in order to observe its effect on organizational attractiveness through the mediating effect of ethical reputation. Participants (n = 260) were randomly subjected to two experimental conditions by responding to an electronic questionnaire containing the description of an organization that implements (i.e., the high involvement condition) or not (i.e., the low involvement condition) a set of CSR practices. This was followed by questions about other variables of interest. The results show that the proposed theoretical model provides a strong fit to the data, thus empirically supporting the proposal that CSR directly and indirectly affects, through ethical reputation, evaluations of organizations as a future workplace. In practical terms, this means that, in the war for talent, organizations can use information about their corporate social performance and ethical reputation to attract potential candidates, alongside more traditional information on organizational attributes and job characteristics.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Spontaneous parity violation and minimal Higgs models

In this paper we present a model for the spontaneous breaking of parity with two Higgs doublets and two neutral Higgs singlets which are even and odd under D-parity. The condition $v_R >>v_L$ can be satisfied without introducing bidoublets and it is induced by the breaking of D-parity through the vacuum expectation value of the odd Higgs singlet. Examples of left-right symmetric and mirror fermions models in grand unified theories are presented.Comment: Revised version. Accepted in Eur. Phys. Journal

Geochronology and petrogenesis of late-Variscan plutonism (NW Portugal) : synthesis and inferences on crustal recycling and growth

In NW Portugal large volumes of granitoids were emplaced during the post-collisional stage of the Variscan orogeny. This was the main period of successive granite generation, which exhibit different chemical and isotopic signatures. Geochronological and petrogenetic results are presented and inferences on the geodynamic evolution of the Iberian Variscides are discussed

Bootstrapping a Portuguese WordNet from Galician, Spanish and English wordnets

Series: Lecture notes in computer science, ISSN 0302-9743, vol. 8854In this article we exploit the possibility on bootstrapping an European Portuguese WordNet from the English, Spanish and Galician wordnets using Probabilistic Translation Dictionaries automatically created from parallel corpora. The process generated a total of 56~770 synsets and 97~058 variants. An evaluation of the results using the Brazilian OpenWordNet-PT as a gold standard resulted on a precision varying from 53\% to 75\% percent, depending on the cut-line. The results were satisfying and comparable to similar experiments using the WN-Toolkit.PEst-OE/EEI/UI0752/2014, TIN2012-38584-C06-01, TIN2012-38584-C06-0
