Industrial inspection problems usually require specific and highly complex solutions that can be implemented at a reasonable cost, what has produced a great research and development effort in the field of computer vision. Among these problems, inspection system for continuous…

The aim of this study was to develop an equation for predicting the performance in 10 kilometers road race (10k), Half Marathon (21k) and Marathon (42k), using the blood lactate concentration (bLA) close to race pace. 64 runners of different…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of condensed multiple-set resistance training and circuit multiple-set resistance training on muscular strength, endurance, body composition and arm and thigh circumference in healthy males. Twenty seven healthy males volunteered to…

This study aimed to determine the acute and 48 h effect of kinesiotaping (KT) on the maximal grip strength of wrist flexor muscle, and the comfort level immediately and after 48 h with the KT applied on the forearm. A…

Runners from East Africa and especially from Kenya dominate middle- and long- distance running races worldwide. The aim of the present study was to investigate the participation and performance trends regarding the nationality of runners in a mountain ultra-marathon held…

Despite its frequent use, there is little understanding of the concept of differential
among upper high school and undergraduate students of physics. As a first step to identify the origin of this situation and to revert it, we have done…

In this paper we study the distribution of the zeros of each function G_{n}(z)≡1+2^{z}+...+n^{z}, n≥2, which approaches the Riemann zeta function for Rez<-1, and is closely related to the solutions of the functional equations f(z)+f(2z)+...+f(nz)=0. We determine the density of…

The different transitions and reactions involved in the thermal processing of ternary EVA-PE-ADC mixtures, with different concentrations of polyethylene (PE) and azodicarbonamide (ADC), used as foaming agent, have been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
The effect of…

Porous materials are gaining interest due to their potential for storing hydrogen via physisorption. In the present work, two carbon fibres, carbonised at 973 and 1273 K, have been chemically activated with KOH and NaOH, in order to obtain materials…

Nowadays, the material disassembly is an important issue for the industry. This paper presents an algorithm to sequence the task to be performed in the disassembly of a specific material from a product or to separate all the materials of…
