(IV Assembly of the Latin American and Caribbean Seismological Commission, LACSC 2022, 2022-10-04)Costa Rica has experienced 41 tsunamis since 1746, 36 of them at the Pacific coast and only 5 at the Caribbean coast. However, the oldest record belongs to the Caribbean coast, as well as the only tsunami that has caused ... -
A lightweight environment for 2D visual applications
(EasyChair, 2019)People and organizations constantly use a wide variety of devices and formats to produce large volumes of data. This involves a series of challenges related to processing and transforming data into valuable knowledge to ... -
A management plan for the sport fishery of Parachromis dovii (Pisces: Cichlidae) in Hule lake, Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2000-06)A first attempt to regulate the fishing activity while preserving the species and its habitats is presented for Hule lake. We intensively sampled the "guapote" between March 1996 and April 1997 using monofilament gill nets ... -
A Microscopic Model for a One Parameter Class of Fractional Laplacians with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021)We prove the hydrodynamic limit for the symmetric exclusion process with long jumps given by a mean zero probability transition rate with infinite variance and in contact with infinitely many reservoirs with density α ... -
A mixed virtual element method for the Brinkman problem
(Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences vol.27 no.4 707-743 2017, 2017)In this paper, we introduce and analyze a mixed virtual element method (mixed-VEM) for the two-dimensional Brinkman model of porous media flow with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. More precisely, we employ ... -
