The green fung of Vitoria-Gasteiz

A Model for Assessing Pedestrian Corridors. Application to Vitoria-Gasteiz City (Spain)

From a mobility perspective, walking is considered to be the most sustainable transport mode. One of the consequences of motor-oriented urban configuration on pedestrian mobility is urban fragmentation, which affects sustainability in cities. In this paper, we use a natural-based approach to landscape fragmentation and connectivity (inherited from landscape ecology) for pedestrian mobility plan...

Blood-feeding Diptera (Culicidae and Ceratopogonidae) in an urban park of the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country, Spain)

Haematophagous and synanthropic Diptera are responsible for the transmission of several pathogenic agents to humans, domestic and wild animals, causing diverse vector-borne diseases of paramount importance.

The protective effects of Mucuna pruriens seed extract (MPE) against the cardio-respiratory depressant and neuromuscular paralytic effects induced by injection of Calloselasma rhodostoma (Malayan pit viper) venom in anaesthetized rats were investigated. While MPE pretreatment did not reverse the inhibitory effect of the venom on the gastrocnemius muscle excitability, it significantly attenuated...
