An academic analysis with recommendations for water management and planning at the basin scale: a review of water planning in the Segura River Basin
(Elsevier, 2019) Artículo / ArtikuluaWater resources management is particularly challenging in water-scarce basins, where low water availability is combined with a potential water demand exceeding the supply capacity of the natural system. This is the case ... -
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet in metabolically healthy and unhealthy overweight and obese European adolescents: the HELENA study
Purpose To examine the adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern (MDP) in metabolically healthy overweight or obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) European adolescents. Methods In this cross-sectional ... -
Adipose tissue modification through feeding strategies and their implication on adipogenesis and adipose tissue metabolism in ruminants
Dietary recommendations by health authorities have been advising of the importance of diminishing saturated fatty acids (SFA) consumption and replacing them by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), particularly omega-3. ... -
Application of MIR spectroscopy to the evaluation of chemical composition and quality parameters of foal meat: a preliminary study
The aim of this work was to study the potential of mid-infrared spectroscopy to evaluate the chemical composition and quality parameters of foal meat according to differences based on slaughter ages and finishing diets. ... -
Assessing hillslope-channel connectivity in an agricultural catchment using rare-earth oxide tracers and random forests models
Soil erosion from agricultural areas is a large problem because of off-site effects like the rapid filling of reservoirs. To mitigate the problem of sediments from agricultural areas reaching the channel, reservoirs and ... -
Assessing soil properties controlling interrill erosion: an empirical approach under Mediterranean conditions
Soil erodibility is a complex phenomenon that comprises a number of different soil properties. However, most current (empirical) erodibility indices are based on only a few soil properties. A feasible soil characterization ... -
Assessment of soil factors controlling ephemeral gully erosion on agricultural fields
The soil factor is crucial in controlling and properly modeling the initiation and development of ephemeral gullies (EGs). Usually, EG initiation has been related to various soil properties (i.e. sealing, critical shear ... -
Assessment of the main factors affecting the dynamics of nutrients in two rainfed cereal watersheds
(Elsevier, 2020) Artículo / ArtikuluaNutrient dynamics and factors that control nutrient exports were observed in two watersheds, namely Latxaga and La Tejería, with similar climatic and management characteristics throughout 10 years (2007–2016). Similar ... -
Association between UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3 gene polymorphisms with markers of adiposity in European adolescents: The HELENA study
Aims: To examine the association between UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3 gene polymorphisms with adiposity markers in European adolescents and to test if there were gene interactions with objectively measured physical activity and ... -
Association of breakfast quality and energy density with cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight/obese children: role of physical activity
There is a general belief that having breakfast is an important healthy lifestyle factor; however, there is scarce evidence on the influence of breakfast quality and energy density on cardiometabolic risk in children, as ... -
Associations of dietary energy density with body composition and cardiometabolic risk in children with overweight and obesity: role of energy density calculations, under-reporting energy intake and physical activity
This study examined (1) the association of dietary energy density from solid (EDS) and solid plus liquids (EDSL) with adiposity and cardiometabolic risk factors (CRF) in children with overweight and obesity, (2) the effect ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, and obesity in adolescence and later chronic disability due to cardiovascular disease: a cohort study of 1 million men
Aims: Cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, and obesity in adulthood are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, little is known regarding the associations of these risk factors, already in adolescence, ... -
Circulating miRNAs as biomarkers of obesity and obesity-associated comorbidities in children and adolescents: a systematic review
Early detection of obesity and its associated comorbidities in children needs priority for the development of effective therapeutic intervention. Circulating miRNAs (microRNAs) have been proposed as biomarkers for obesity ... -
Comparison between capacitive and microstructured optical fiber soil moisture sensors
Soil moisture content has always been an important parameter to control because it is a deterministic factor for site-specific irrigation, seeding, transplanting, and compaction detection. In this work, a discrete sensor ... -
Comparison of bioelectrical impedance analysis, slaughter skinfold-thickness equations, and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for estimating body fat percentage in Colombian children and adolescents with excess of adiposity
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been considered a reference method for measuring body fat percentage (BF%) in children and adolescents with an excess of adiposity. However, given that the DXA technique is ... -
Congruent validity of resting energy expenditure predictive equations in young adults
Having valid and reliable resting energy expenditure (REE) estimations is crucial to establish reachable goals for dietary and exercise interventions. However, most of the REE predictive equations were developed some time ... -
Conversión de las explotaciones de vacuno de leche a la producción de leche A2 ante una posible demanda del mercado: posibilidades e implicaciones
El mercado de la leche de vaca, tras la desaparición de las cuotas lácteas, está provocando una importante restructuración en el sector. Una de las alternativas que están desarrollando, fundamentalmente las pequeñas ... -
Detection of minced lamb and beef fraud using NIR spectroscopy
The aim of this work was to investigate the feasibility of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), combined with chemometric techniques, to detect fraud in minced lamb and beef mixed with other types of meats. For this, 40 ... -
Dietary determinants of hepatic fat content and insulin resistance in overweight/obese children: a cross-sectional analysis of the Prevention of Diabetes in Kids (PREDIKID) study
Pediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has increased in parallel with childhood obesity. Dietary habits, particularly products rich in sugars, may influence both hepatic fat and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). ... -
