Evaluación de fuentes tsunamigénicas en el sur de Centroamérica y la generación de mapas de evacuación en la costa Pacífica de Costa Rica
(Geo - Network of Latinomerican - German alumi (GOAL) 7-10 2015, 2015)
Costa Rica se encuentra en el extremo oeste de la placa Caribe, en el sur de América Central. En esta región se da la interacción de cuatro placas tectónicas. La placa Cocos se subduce bajo la placa Caribe y la microplaca ...
Análisis de Registros de Tsunamis anteriores a 1969 observados en la estación de Puntarenas
(IV Congreso Nacional de Gestión del Riesgo y Adaptación al Cambio Climático, Heredia, 10 y 11 de octubre 2018, 2018)
Los mareógrafos de Puntarenas, Quepos y Limón fueron instalados en la década de 1940 como una colaboración entre el Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) y la Agencia Nacional Atmosférica y Oceanográfica de los Estados Unidos ...
A priori and a posteriori error analyses of a pseudostress-based mixed formulation for linear elasticity
(Computers and Mathematics with Applications vol.71 no.2 585-614 2016, 2016-01-02)
In this paper we present the a priori and a posteriori error analyses of a non-standard mixed finite element method for the linear elasticity problem with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. More precisely, the ...
Unveiling the hidden bat diversity of a neotropical montane forest
(PLOS ONE Vol.11 No.10, 2016-10-05)
Mountain environments, characterized by high levels of endemism, are at risk of experiencing significant biodiversity loss due to current trends in global warming. While many acknowledge their importance and vulnerability, ...
Neighbourhood structure and light availability influence the variations in plant design of shrubs in two cloud forests of different successional status
(Annals of Botany, 2016-07)
Background and Aims Plant design refers to the construction of the plant body or its constituent parts in terms of form and function. Although neighbourhood structure is recognized as a factor that limits plant survival ...
Physical, mechanical and hydration kinetics of particleboards manufactured with woody biomass (Cupressus lusitanica, Gmelina arborea, Tectona grandis), agricultural resources, and Tetra Pak packages
(Waste Management and Research vol.32 no.2 106-114 2014, 2014-02-11)
Lignocellulosic wastes resulting from agricultural activities as well as Tetra Pak residues from urban centres can cause significant levels of pollution. A possible action to minimize this problem is to use them in the ...
Abelian covers of alternating groups
(Archiv der Mathematik 107 135-150, 2016-07-07)
Let G = A n , a finite alternating group. We study the commuting graph of G and establish, for all possible values of n barring 13, 14, 17, and 19 whether or not the independence number is equal to the clique-covering number.
Isomerization of fatty acids: A cellular barrier mechanism in nanotechnology?
(Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Vol.17 1-9, 2017-01)
This work is a kinetic study of the coupling reaction of 2-mercaptoethanol with methyl undecenoate and with methyl oleate through " click " chemistry. Reversibility and reactivity of each system were followed through Fourier ...
Efficiency measurement and Monte Carlo simulations of a CeBr3 scintillator
(Applied Radiation and Isotopes Vol.120. 71-75 2016, 2016-11)
CeBr3 crystals meet many of the demands of high performance scintillators, due to their excellent timing properties, good effective Z and high photon yield. It is important to characterize their efficiency and to verify ...
Losing legs and walking hard: Effects of autotomy and different substrates in the locomotion of harvestmen in the genus Prionostemma
(Journal of Arachnology vol.44 no.1 76-82 2016, 2016-04-01)
Autotomy, the strategy of voluntarily releasing a leg during an encounter with a potential predator or in agonistic interactions between conspecifics, is common in animals. The potential costs of this behavior have been ...
