First record of the genus ocyochterus from Colombia and new records of ochteridae from costa rica (Hemiptera:Heteroptera)
(2015)
The frst Colombian record of Ocyochterus, expanding the previously known distributional range of the genus. Additionally, records of two species of Ochterus from Costa Rica are provided. The material examined is deposited ...
Reasoning tradeoffs in languages with enhanced modularity features
(Modularity 2016: Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Modularity 13-24 2016, 2016-03)
The continuous need for more ambitious, more complex, and more dependable software systems demands mechanisms to modularize such systems and reason about their correctness. The reasoning process is affected by the programming ...
Experimental validation of gallium production and isotope-dependent positron range correction in PET
(Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment vol.814 110-116 2016, 2016-04-01)
Positron range (PR) is one of the important factors that limit the spatial resolution of positron emission tomography (PET) preclinical images. Its blurring effect can be corrected to a large extent if the appropriate ...
Latitudinal regionalization of epibenthic macroinvertebrate communities on rocky reefs in the Gulf of California
(Marine Biology Research vol.12 no.4 389-401 2016, 2016-04-27)
We report on a latitudinal pattern in the structure and species composition of epibenthic macroinvertebrate communities on rocky reefs along a gradient of eight degrees of latitude in the Gulf of California. We provide ...
Characterization of the VARIAN®PaxScan 2020+ flat panel detector for quantitative X-ray imaging
(X-Ray Spectrometry vol.45 no.3 169-175 2016, 2016-02-19)
In this work, the response of the VARIAN® PaxScan 2020+ flat panel detector was characterized in terms of spatial resolution and uniformity across the detection area along with detection efficiency for photon beams from ...
Neighborhood structure influences the convergence in light capture efficiency and carbon gain: An architectural approach for cloud forest shrubs
(Tree Physiology vol.36 no.6 712-724 2016, 2016-03-24)
Although plant competition is recognized as a fundamental factor that limits survival and species coexistence, its relative importance on light capture efficiency and carbon gain is not well understood. Here, we propose a ...
Lead acid battery recycling in Costa Rica: A case study
(WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2012)
This work describes the production of secondary lead in a smelter located in
Costa Rica. The only input of the plant is scrap automotive batteries. We
describe the environmental management strategies used for waste ...
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 ...
Numerical Simulations of the 1991 Limón Tsunami, Costa Rica Caribbean Coast
(Pure and Applied Geophysics vol.174 2945-2959 2017, 2017)
The second largest recorded tsunami along the Caribbean margin of Central America occurred 25 years ago. On April 22nd, 1991, an earthquake with magnitude Mw 7.6 ruptured along the thrust faults that form the North Panama ...
Tsunamis Recorded in Tide Gauges at Costa Rica Pacific Coast and their Numerical Modeling
(2017)
Resumen Aquí realizamos un inventario de tsunamis registrado por mareógrafos en la costa del Pacífico de Costa Rica. Este documento también revela nueve registros de tsunamis que no se habían publicado antes, en el indicador ...
