Effects of aquatic training and detraining on women with fibromyalgia: controlled randomized clinical trial
(2019)
BACKGROUND: Aquatic physical training (APT) promotes improvement of clinical symptoms and aerobic functional capacity in women with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). However, there are controversial studies that refer to the ...
Canopy architecture assessment of cherry trees by cover photography based on variable light extinction coefficient modelled using artificial neural networks
(2019)
Leaf area index (LAI) is one of the most important parameters in physiological and functional plant models to estimate tree canopy vigor and photosynthesis. However, LAI requires either destructive or indirect methods for ...
Genetic variation and growth stability of hybrid poplars in high-density short-rotation coppice stands in central Chile
(2019)
Short-rotation coppice (SRC) using hybrid poplars for biomass production may be a productive alternative in Mediterranean zones. However, the degree of genetic control and the growth stability of poplar clones in high-density ...
Growth and biomass partitioning of nine provenances of Quillaja saponaria seedlings to water stress
