Water Quality Assessment of a Hydro-Agricultural Reservoir in a Mediterranean R...

In regions where drought has become a common occurrence for most of the year and where agriculture is the main economic activity, the development of hydro-agricultural systems has made it possible to improve water management. Despite this, the intensification of agriculture combined with climate change leads to a potential decrease in water quality and water management practices are essential to improve agro-en...

The usefulness of ecotoxicological tools to improve the assessment of water bod...

This study aimed to analyse the added value of using ecotoxicological tools to complement and improve the assessment of natural water bodies status, in situations of climate change, with a higher frequency of extreme events as floods or droughts. Four water bodies of streams in the Guadiana Basin (Álamos, Amieira, Lucefécit, Zebro) were studied in 2017 and 2018 and classified based on the Water Framework Direct...

The aim of this study was to assess body mass index (BMI) and high blood pressure (HBP) and its association in children and adolescents.Methods: Observational, cross-sectional and analytical study. Data was collected from the medical records of patients between 5 ...

Enhanced salience of musical sounds in singers and instrumentalists

Music training has been linked to facilitated processing of emotional sounds. However, most studies have focused on speech, and less is known about musicians’ brain responses to other emotional sounds and in relation to instrument-specific experience. The current study combined behavioral and EEG methods to address two novel questions related to the perception of auditory emotional cues: whether and how long-te...

Life-history data of a key amphipod species from three NE Atlantic estuaries un...

Knowledge on population dynamics of ecosystem's key-species is invaluable to understand how populations will respond to natural and human-induced perturbations. The amphipod Echinogammarus marinus is a key-species from European estuarine habitats with a distribution ranging from Norway to Portugal [1]. The present article contains supportive data related to a research article entitled ‘Comparing production and ...

Study of the Risk of Ankle Injury During Impact on the Ground and Definition of...

This work studies the effect of different orthoses on preventing injuries in the ankle-foot joint. It was carried out using OpenSim and the available ankle-foot musculoskeletal model and AFO orthoses models. The motion situation assessed is related to placing the foot on the ground. It is also analyzed how a passive ankle-foot orthosis, muscles reflexes and muscle coactivation influence the risk of injury, name...

Endodontia de dente permanente imaturo em paciente adulto – caso clínico

Bioactive properties and functional constituents of Hypericum androsaemum L.: A...

Hypericum androsaemum L. ethanol:water extract acted as a lipid peroxidation inhibitor and free radical scavenger. A marked inhibition of the growth of breast, lung, cervical and hepatocellular human carcinoma cell lines was also observed, whereas no toxicity was shown against non-tumor porcine liver cells (> 400 ?g/mL). The extract was also effective in inhibiting nitric oxide production, as an indicator of th...

Cloning, characterization and in vitro and in planta expression of a glucanase ...

Oomycetes from the genus Phytophthora are fungus-like plant pathogens that are devastating for agriculture and natural ecosystems. They are able to secrete a glucanase inhibitor protein (GIP) that inhibits the activity of endoglucanases (EGases) involved in defense responses against infection. One of the most widely distributed and aggressive Phytophthora species, with more than 1,000 host plants is P. cinnamom...
