High-Performance Tracking for Piezoelectric Actuators Using Super-Twisting Algorithm Based on Artificial Neural Networks
(MDPI, 2021-01-26)
Piezoelectric actuators (PEA) are frequently employed in applications where nano-Micr-odisplacement is required because of their high-precision performance. However, the positioning is affected substantially by the hysteresis ...
Relationship between Training Factors and Injuries in Stand-Up Paddleboarding Athletes
(MDPI, 2021-01-20)
Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is an increasingly popular sport but, as in other sports, there is an injury ratio associated with practicing it. In other types of sport, some factors have been linked to the likelihood of ...
Greater Power but Not Strength Gains Using Flywheel Versus Equivolumed Traditional Strength Training in Junior Basketball Players
(MDPI, 2021-01-29)
The main aim of the present study was to compare the effects of flywheel strength training and traditional strength training on fitness attributes. Thirty-six well trained junior basketball players (n = 36; 17.58 ± 0.50 ...
Rational design of an unusual 2D-MOF based on Cu(I) and 4-hydroxypyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as linker with conductive capabilities: a theoretical approach based on high-pressure XRD
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-08-25)
Herein, we present, for the first time, a 2D-MOF based on copper and 4-hydroxypyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as the linker. Each MOF layer is perfectly flat and neutral, as is the case for graphene. High pressure X-ray diffraction ...
Effect of Acute and Chronic Oral L-Carnitine Supplementation on Exercise Performance Based on the Exercise Intensity: A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2021-12-03)
l-Carnitine (l-C) and any of its forms (glycine-propionyl l-Carnitine (GPL-C) or l-Carnitine l-tartrate (l-CLT)) has been frequently recommended as a supplement to improve sports performance due to, among others, its role ...
Cross-linguistic transfer in bilingual reading is item specific
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2021)
The grain size of orthographic representations prompted by a consistent orthography (like
Spanish or Basque) increases if reading is simultaneously learned in another language with
an inconsistent orthography (like ...
"Hamilton": Lin-Manuel Miranda's modern approach to the American Dream based on equal opportunitiy
(2022-03-07)
From the very beginning, the so-called ethos of the American Dream has summoned the concept of America as the land of opportunities, the perfect scenario to achieve a better future. Hamilton (2015) is a musical that has ...
Innovative Microstructural Transformation upon CO2 Supercritical Conditions on Metal-Nucleobase Aerogel and Its Use as Effective Filler for HPLC Biomolecules Separation
(MDPI, 2022-02-17)
This work contributes to enlightening the opportunities of the anisotropic scheme of non-covalent interactions present in supramolecular materials. It provides a top-down approach based on their selective disruption that ...
Rare Germline DICER1 Variants in Pediatric Patients With Cushing's Disease: What Is Their Role?
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Context: The DICER1 syndrome is a multiple neoplasia disorder caused by germline mutations in the DICER1 gene. In DICER1 patients, aggressive congenital pituitary tumors lead to neonatal Cushing's disease (CD). The role ...
Physiological adaptation to altitude. Possible therapeutic implications
(2020)
High altitude is characterised by hypoxia; low levels of oxygen in the atmosphere create a deficiency in oxygen reaching the tissues. Hypoxia creates a stress in all aerobic bodies, leading to physiological, metabolic and ...
