Evaluating SODA for Indo-Pacific Ocean decadal climate variability studies
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2014-10-31)
Estimates of changes in upper ocean temperature, heat content, and sea level are dependent on the coverage of subsurface observations in space and time. Historically, these data are sparse, which has limited our understanding ...
A combined experimental and theoretical study of gas sorption on nanoporous silver triazolato metal-organic frameworks
(2014-01-01)
A new silver-triazolate metal-organic framework (MOF), {Ag 3[Ag5(μ3-3,5-tBu 2tz)6](BF4)2}n (2), has been prepared and structurally characterized. The CO2 sorption properties of this new MOF and previously reported isostructural ...
Behavioral plasticity mitigates risk across environments and predators during anuran metamorphosis
(Behavioral Ecology, 2013)
Most animals metamorphose, changing morphology, physiology, behavior and ecological interactions. Size- and habitat-dependent mortality risk is thought to affect the evolution and plastic expression of metamorphic timing, ...
Integrated curriculum based on projects: Opportunities and constraints a case study in systems engineering
(39th Latin American Computing Conference, CLEI 2013, 2013)
The Universidad Nacional is making significant efforts to improve the professional performance of graduates according to the needs of the society and the industry. In particular, the School of Informatics has been exploring ...
The rock coast of South and Central America
(Geological Society Memoirs 2014, 2014-07)
The great variety of climatic conditions, tidal ranges and wave regimes of South and Central America act on a complex
geology and tectonic framework. Many of the rock and cliffed coasts of South America are strongly ...
The structure and function of dry weather mangrove on the Pacific Coast of Central America, with emphasis on Avicennia bicolor forests
(Estuaries Research Federation, 2013)
Mangrove forests along the Pacific Coast of Central America cover around 4,000 km2. Most of this coast is occupied with tropical dry forest mangroves where basal areas range between 6 and 20 m2 ha−1 and canopy heights ...
β- decay of 65Mn to 65Fe
(American Physical Society, 2013-10-07)
The low-energy structure of 65Fe has been studied by means of γ and fast-timing spectroscopy at the ISOLDE facility, CERN. A level scheme of 65Fe populated following the β-decay of 65Mn was established for the first time. ...
Scattering of light by colloidal aluminosilicate particles Produces the unusual sky-blue color of Río Celeste (Tenorio Volcano Complex, Costa Rica)
(2013-09-18)
Río Celeste (Sky-Blue River) in Tenorio National Park (Costa Rica), a river that derives from the confluence and mixing of two colorless streams-Río Buenavista (Buenavista River) and Quebrada Agria (Sour Creek)-is renowned ...
New species of Potamocoris Hungerford (Heteroptera, Potamocoridae) from Costa Rica and a key to the species
(Magnolia Press, 2014-11)
A new potamocorid species, Potamocoris sitesi NEW SPECIES, with its two wing morphs (coleopteroid and macropterous) are described from Costa Rica. Descriptions are supported with photographs and illustrations. Parameres ...
An anatomical comparison between bunch and fruit of oil palm with pineapple leaf and three woods from plantations in Costa Rica
(Journal of Oil Palm Research, 2013-04)
Elaeis guineensis, Ananas comusus and forest plantations are planted widely in Costa Rica; however their residues (8000 t) are not utilised. The main objective of this work was to undertake an anatomical description of the ...
