(Public Library of Science, 2021-07-16)
[EN] The relative age effect (RAE) has primarily been investigated in male athletes involved in
popular sports and high-level competitions. However, occurrence of RAE in other types of
sports at the grassroots level, ...
Effects of Physiological Doses of Resveratrol and Quercetin on Glucose Metabolism in Primary Myotubes
(2021-01-30)
henolic compounds have emerged in recent years as an option to face insulin resistance and diabetes. The central aim of this study was: (1) to demonstrate that physiological doses of resveratrol (RSV) or quercetin (Q) can ...
Circuit Breaker Failure Protection Strategy for HVDC Grids
(MDPI, 2021-07-18)
HVDC grids demand the fast and reliable operation of the protection system. The failure of any protection element should initialize a backup protection almost immediately in order to assure the system’s stability. This ...

This article focuses on the development of morphological awareness in English as a third language. It analyses how the activation of previous linguistic knowledge can influence morphological awareness. Participants were ...
Analysis of Ultrasonic Pre-Treatment for the ozonation of Humic Acids
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
This paper presents an intensification study of an ozonation process through an ultrasonic pre-treatment for the elimination of humic substances in water and thus, improve the quality of water treatment systems for human ...
Prenatal Manganese Exposure and Long-Term Neuropsychological Development at 4 Years of Age in a Population-Based Birth Cohort
(MDPI, 2020-03-04)
Background: Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient for humans, the diet being the main source of exposure. Some epidemiological studies describe a negative association between prenatal Mn and later neuropsychological ...
Lambda CDM Suitably Embedded in f(R) with a Non-Minimal Coupling to Matter
(Springer, 2021-03-17)
In this work, we further study a metric modified theory of gravity which contains a non-minimal coupling to matter, more precisely, we assume two functions of the scalar curvature, f1 and f2, where the first one generalises ...
Putative Role of MCT1 rs1049434 Polymorphism in High-Intensity Endurance Performance: Concept and Basis to Understand Possible Individualization Stimulus
(MDPI, 2021-10-18)
Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) have been proposed as important mediators of the exchange between lactate (La−) producer and La− recipient (consumer) cells. Previous studies have suggested that the MCT1 A1470T genotype ...
Analysis of Alpha Activity Levels and Dependence on Meteorological Factors over a Complex Terrain in Northern Iberian Peninsula (2014–2018)
(MDPI, 2020-10-29)
Alpha ambient concentrations in ground-level air were measured weekly in Bilbao (northern Spain) by collecting aerosols in filters between 2014 and 2018. Over this period, the alpha activity concentrations in the aerosol’s ...
