(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2011)
A new species of Seticeros Perger & Santos-Silva, 2010 (Prioninae: Callipogonini) from San Isidro del General, San José, Costa Rica is described and illustrated. A key to the species of Seticeros is added.
Analysis of an Augmented HDG Method for a Class of Quasi-Newtonian Stokes Flows
(Springer, 2015)
In this paper we introduce and analyze a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method for numerically solving a class of nonlinear Stokes models arising in quasi-Newtonian fluids. Similarly as in previous papers dealing ...
Analysis of non-covalent interactions between the nanoparticulate fillers and the matrix polymer as applied to shape memory performance
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2010)
Non-covalent interactions between filler particles and polyurethanes were investigated using fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The results were used in the analysis of shape memory (SM) performance of polyurethanes. ...
Analysis of an augmented pseudostress-based mixed formulation for a nonlinear Brinkman model of porous media flow
(Elsevier, 2015)
In this paper we introduce and analyze an augmented mixed finite element method for the two-dimensional nonlinear Brinkman model of porous media flow with mixed boundary conditions. More precisely, we extend a previous ...
Antimicrobial activities of Marcgraviaceae species and isolation of a naphthoquinone from Marcgravia nervosa (Marcgraviaceae)
(NRC Research Press, 2015)
The Marcgraviaceae is a neotropical plant family of lianas and shrubs distributed throughout Central and South America, mainly in evergreen and semi-evergreen tropical forests. In this study, extracts of 12 Marcgraviaceae ...
Baseflow recession analysis in the inland Pacific Northwest of the United States
(Springer Nature, 2015)
The storage-discharge relationships of 26 water sheds in the inland Pacific Northwest of the United States
were analyzed. Four fitting methods were used to obtain
the baseflow coefficients: lower envelope, organic corre ...
Biodegradable polyurethanes from sugar cane biowastes
(Cellulose chemistry and technology, 2011)
In a previous work, it was demonstrated that 70% of the molasses isolated from the biowaste generated by
the agro-industrialization of sugar cane allow obtaining composite materials with adequate mechanical
properties ...
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy risk management in Latin America: Costa Rica as a representative country for risk management and policy
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2010)
Costa Rica is a representative Latin American country with
significant regional cattle production for its size. The country experienced an
exceedingly low challenge for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) as
evidenced ...
Physicochemical and chromatographic method of characterization of Matricaria recutita tinctures
(2016)
The pharmacological activity of medicinal products containing plant materials depends on their specific components. However, these components are not characterized in their entirety in all cases. Therefore, manufacturing ...
