Co-production of nature’s contributions to people in dry rivers: a case study in Murcia, Spain
Ecosystems and People, 2023 Dry rivers are non-perennial rivers with no surface water in their channels except after heavy rainfall or snowmelt. The lack of water flow is often associated with a low provision of Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP) and a poor quality of life ...

How Many Muscles? Optimal Muscles Set Search for Optimizing Myocontrol Performance
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2021 In myo-control, for computational and setup constraints, the measurement of a high number of muscles is not always possible: the choice of the muscle set to use in a myo-control strategy depends on the desired application scope and a search for a reduced
