Phelipanche lainzii, nueva Orobáncacea para la península Ibérica
2012
[ES] Se describe una nueva especie ibérica perteneciente al género Phelipanche Pomel (Orobanchaceae): Ph. lainzii, sp. nov., hallada en el noreste de la provincia de Albacete, cerca de la provincia de Valencia (E de España). Entre otras características, presenta por lo general tallo mediano a pequeño, inflorescencia densa, corola azul pálido de tubo estrecho, apenas infundibuliforme y no muy ensanchado en la garganta, con lóbulos del labio inferior no deflexos y cáliz con dientes subulados. Su morfología es parecida a Ph. mutelii (F.W. Schultz) Pomel, Ph. camphorosmae Carlón, G. Gómez, M. Laínz, Moreno Mor., Ó. Sánchez & Schneew. y Ph. nana (F.W. de Noë ex Rchb. fil.) Soják, por lo que se a…
Segona cita a la península Ibèrica d'Elasmus nudus (Nees, 1834) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), aspectes morfològics i biològics d'aquesta espècie
2011
Es descriu i s'il·lustren els caràcters més importants d'Elasmus nudus (Nees, 1834) amb la finalitat de millorar les descripcions antigues i incompletes d'aquesta espècie. Aquesta troballa representa la primera cita per a la província de València i la segona per a la península Ibèrica. Es destaquen diferents aspectes biològics; així E. nudus ha estat obtingut com a parasitoide secundari de E. chrysorrhoea L., 1758 (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) atacant Apanteles lacteicolor (Viereck, 1911) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), un parasitoide primari del lepidòpter esmentat. Pediobius pyrgo (Walker, 1839) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) ataca les pupes de E. nudus, que és un parasitoide terciari del lepidòpter.…
Clustering ball possession duration according to players’ role in football small-sided games
2022
This study aimed to explore which offensive variables best discriminate the ball possession duration according to players specific role (defenders, midfielders, attackers) during a Gk+3vs3+Gk football small-sided games. Fifteen under-15 players (age 13.2±1.0 years, playing experience 4.2±1.0 years) were grouped according to their positions (team of defenders, n = 5; team of midfielders, n = 7; team of attackers, n = 3). On each testing day (n = 3), each team performed one bout of 5-min against each team in a random order, accounting for a total of nine bouts in the following scenarios: i) defenders vs midfielders; ii) defenders vs attackers; iii) midfielders vs attackers. Based on video, a …
Inferring the Relative Resilience of Alternative States
2013
Ecological systems may occur in alternative states that differ in ecological structures, functions and processes. Resilience is the measure of disturbance an ecological system can absorb before changing states. However, how the intrinsic structures and processes of systems that characterize their states affects their resilience remains unclear. We analyzed time series of phytoplankton communities at three sites in a floodplain in central Spain to assess the dominant frequencies or "temporal scales" in community dynamics and compared the patterns between a wet and a dry alternative state. The identified frequencies and cross-scale structures are expected to arise from positive feedbacks that…
Temporal variability analysis reveals biases in electronic health records due to hospital process reengineering interventions over seven years
2019
[EN] Objective To evaluate the effects of Process-Reengineering interventions on the Electronic Health Records (EHR) of a hospital over 7 years. Materials and methods Temporal Variability Assessment (TVA) based on probabilistic data quality assessment was applied to the historic monthly-batched admission data of Hospital La Fe Valencia, Spain from 2010 to 2016. Routine healthcare data with a complete EHR was expanded by processed variables such as the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Results Four Process-Reengineering interventions were detected by quantifiable effects on the EHR: (1) the hospital relocation in 2011 involved progressive reduction of admissions during the next four months, (2) th…
Multivariate Exploratory Comparative Analysis of LaLiga Teams: Principal Component Analysis
2021
The use of principal component analysis (PCA) provides information about the main characteristics of teams, based on a set of indicators, instead of displaying individualized information for each of these indicators. In this work we have considered reducing an extensive data matrix to improve interpretation, using PCA. Subsequently, with new components and with multiple linear regression, we have carried out a comparative analysis between the best and bottom teams of LaLiga. The sample consisted of the matches corresponding to the 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons. The results showed that the best teams were characterized and differentiated from bottom teams in the realization of a great…
Health literacy of pregnant women and duration of breastfeeding maintenance: a feasibility study
2020
Research the association between health literacy (HL) and exclusive breastfeeding at 4-months postpartum.Despite the benefits of breastfeeding (BF), its rates are low worldwide. Among the reasons for abandonment is the level of maternal education. Maternal education has been associated with HL, but evidence between HL and BF maintenance is limited.A cross-sectional study.The sample compromised 229 nursing mothers recruited from January 2018 to the end of December 2018 at Spain by systematic sampling method. Women were interviewed postpartum on parameters associated with the start and continuation of BF up to 4 months postpartum. Multivariate logistic regression models to explain exposure va…
Partial least squares X-ray fluorescence determination of trace elements in sediments from the estuary of Nerbioi-Ibaizabal River.
2010
The feasibility of partial least squares (PLS) regression modeling of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectra of estuarine sediments has been evaluated as a tool for rapid trace element content monitoring. Multivariate PLS calibration models were developed to predict the concentration of Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sn, V and Zn in sediments collected from different locations across the estuary of the Nerbioi-Ibaizabal River (Metropolitan Bilbao, Bay of Biscay, Basque Country). The study was carried out on a set of 116 sediment samples, previously lyophilized and sieved with a particle size lower than 63 microm. Sample reference data were obtained by inductively coupled plasma mass …
Lactobacillus uvarum sp. nov. - A new lactic acid bacterium isolated from Spanish Bobal grape must
2008
Five strains isolated from grape musts in Spain in 1997, have been characterized by several molecular techniques, and three of them have been identified as pertaining to a new species. All strains are Gram-positive rods, aerotolerant and homofermentative bacteria that do not exhibit catalase activity. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences placed these strains within the genus Lactobacillus, closely related to Lactobacillus mali. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments confirmed that strain 71 belongs to the lately described species L. satsumensis, strain 88 belongs to L. mali and the other three isolates have an independent status at species level. Restriction analysis of the amp…
What Motivates Internet Users to Search for Asperger Syndrome and Autism on Google?
2020
Social campaigns are carried out to promote autism spectrum disorder (ASD) awareness, normalization, and visibility. The internet helps to shape perceptions of Asperger syndrome and autism. In fact, these campaigns often coincide with the increase in searches for both diagnoses on Google. We have two study objectives: to use Google Trends to identify the annual time points from 2015 to 2019 with the highest Google search traffic in Spain for the terms &ldquo
