2018: Turismo y transformación digital
(Oficina de Comunicación, Universidad Nacional, 2018-10)Si bien es cierto, la transformación digital ha sido discutida y estudiada en áreas como la salud, las finanzas,entretenimiento, ventas masivas, entre otras, es importante destacar que en los últimos años el turismo ha ... -
A botanical extract of Souroubea sympetala and its active principle, betulinic acid, attenuate the cortisol response to a stressor in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss
(Elsevier, 2016-09-28)The capacity of the traditional anxiolytic plant, Souroubea sympetala, and its bioactive principle, betulinic acid (BA), to lower cortisol levels in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, was investigated. Effects at the level ... -
A Collaborative Effort Between Caribbean States for Tsunami Numerical Modeling: Case Study CaribeWave15
(Pure and Applied Geophysics vol.175 no.2 1405-1428 2017, 2017)Historical records have shown that tsunami have affected the Caribbean region in the past. However infrequent, recent studies have demonstrated that they pose a latent hazard for countries within this basin. The Hazard ... -
A comparison of fruit removal in Ficus colubrinae between birds and Ectophylla alba (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in a Costa Rican rain forest
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2021-02-02)Ectophylla alba almost exclusively feeds on the fruits of Ficus colubrinae therefore significantly contributing to dispersal of its seeds. The objective of this research was to quantify the fruit removal of F. colubrinae ... -
A computable general equilibrium analysis of Brexit: Barriers to trade and immigration restrictions
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020-09-11)This paper estimates the economic effects of different types of restrictions on trade and immigration in the United Kingdom after Brexit. Regarding trade restrictions, we focus on UK–EU increases in tariffs and non-tariff ... -
A dialogue of shared discoveries on immigration: a duoethnography of international students in Canada
(Springer, 2019-04-19)International students are believed to contribute signifcantly in education and research as they bring a rich variety of perspectives, experiences, and languages. International students are frequently categorized into ... -
A female of Eudorylaimus sp with two vulvae.
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2001)A female of Eudorylaimus sp, with two vulvae was found in Tempisque Conservation Area in Costa Rica. Thousands of nematodes have been prepared in Cobb's slides to study nematode diversity in Costa Rica; nevertheless, only ... -
A methane sink in the Central American high elevation páramo: Topographic, soil moisture and vegetation effects
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-03-15)Methane (CH4) is a strong greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 23 times larger than that of carbon dioxide. Characterizing ecosystems as either sources or sinks for methane and their magnitudes informs on biosphere ... -
A mixed virtual element method for a pseudostress-based formulation of linear elasticity
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)In this paper we introduce and analyze a mixed virtual element method (mixed-VEM) for a pseudostress-displacement formulation of the linear elasticity problem with non homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We follow ... -
A mixed virtual element method for quasi-Newtonian stokes flows
(SIAM, 2018)In this paper we introduce and analyze a virtual element method (VEM) for an augmented mixed variational formulation of a class of nonlinear Stokes models arising in quasi-Newtonian fluids. While the original unknowns are ... -
A mixed virtual element method for the boussinesq problem on polygonal meshes
(Global Science Press, 2021)In this work we introduce and analyze a mixed virtual element method (mixed-VEM) for the two-dimensional stationary Boussinesq problem. The continuous formulation is based on the introduction of a pseudostress tensor ... -
