Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impacts gait, balance, and postural control, leading to thoracic kyphosis and impaired mobility. Whole-body vibration (WBV) has emerged as a potential rehabilitative approach, but its effects on muscle tone and thoracic kyphosis in PD patients remain underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the immediate and short-term effects of an 8-week WBV training program combined with usual care on thoracic kyphosis, trunk muscle tone, stiffness, elasticity, and gait functionality in individuals with PD. Methods: A parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted with 46 PD patients, randomly assigned to either a real WBV group or a sham WBV group. Participants underwent two treatment sessions weekly, including usual therapy followed by real or sham WBV. Primary outcomes included thoracic kyphosis measured using the Goniometer-Pro app and viscoelastic muscle properties assessed with the MyotonPRO device. Secondary outcomes included the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Measurements were taken at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and after a 12-week follow-up. Results: The real WBV group showed a significant reduction in thoracic kyphosis and improvements in muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity, particularly in the lumbo-thoracic spine. No significant changes were observed in the TUG test. The sham WBV group exhibited some improvements, likely due to placebo effects. Conclusions: WBV combined with usual therapy can enhance postural control and muscle properties in PD patients, particularly in the lower spine. These findings suggest WBV as a beneficial complementary therapy for PD, though high dropout rates should be considered in future studies.

This dataset supports the computational study devoted to the deposition of a magnetically coupled binuclear Fe(III) complex on a metallic surface and its interaction with the tip of a STM. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Wave Function (WFT)-based methods have been employed to determine the electronic structure, geometry, and magnetic coupling constant J of the complex in the gas phase and once deposited over the Au(111) surface. The effects of the electric field on the magnetic coupling were probe using the combination of the DFT with the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism, known as the DFT-NEGF methodology. The dataset contains key input and output files for ORCA and Quantumwise ATK calculations as well as the optimized geometries of the studied systems.

For the purpose of showing the capabilities of the scaled-down network featured in the article this data is pertaining to, profile curves indicating supply and demand of each of the nodes is needed. This dataset contains said profile curves, separating load from generation from each client assigning each client to a node.

The aim of this project to utilize by-products from the olive agroindustrial sector (olive oil, leaves, …) as well as fungal growth substrates for the production of alternative proteins (Tenebrio molitor larvae) for animal feed and human consumption. One of the specific objectives was to study the nutritional, functional-bioactive, and organoleptic characteristics of the products obtained from these insects. The nutritional composition study included the fatty acid composition and the effect of feeding substrates on it. Thus, this dataset collects data resulting from analysis of methylated fatty acids using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, their corresponding calibration lines, and calculation of content percentages, as well as some indices related to cardiovascular health.

Datos obtenidos durante los años 2009 y 2010 de distintos parámetros biológicos de la cría de una raza partenogenética de Aspidiotus nerii (Hemiptera: Dispaididae) en condiciones controladas, utilizando calabaza como sustrato. El objetivo fue evaluar el efecto de diferentes temperaturas y humedades relativas en la supervivencia de las larvas, la fecundidad y en el desarrollo de Aspidiotus, así como medir el patrón de la producción de larvas para mejorar su producción en gran escala. Las calabazas se colocaron a dos temperaturas diferentes (25 y 30ºC) y a dos humedades relativas (55 y 85%). La supervivencia de larvas se evaluó con un stereomicroscopio 3 y 7 días después de que la calabaza fuera inoculada. Después de estos 7 días, se seleccionó al azar una zona de cada calabaza que se evaluó cada ¾ días cuando se registraba los diferentes estados. En los ficheros, se encuentran los datos de la supervivencia de larvas y de la fecundidad en función de la temperatura y la humedad relativa. Un detalle de los materiales y métodos se encuentra en la propia publicación., - Readme_US_v.01__5_Aspidiotus2012, donde se explica el contenido de los ficheros de datos. - Fecundidad.csv, donde están los datos de fecundidad. - Supervivencia.csv, donde están los datos de supervivencia de larvas.

This dataset supports the study of the spin transition on Fe(II) SCO complex in a molecular junction triggered by the distortion of the coordination sphere. This distortion is promoted by the applied voltage. The dataset contains the optimized geometries of the molecule on the junction in the HS and LS states, input files for ORCA calculations of the molecule under an external electric field and experiencing a distortion.
