The positioning and air navigation system using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is affected by ionospheric scintillations. To mitigate these effects, it is necessary to study the characteristics of these scintillations using data generated by scintillation monitor networks, in order to describe the main characteristics of these networks. … Read More →

The increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents is a health concern. Therefore, a valid and accessible method of assessing insulin resistance in this age group must be developed to monitor its progression and identifying adolescents at risk of developing associated factors. … Read More →
