Tsunamis from Tectonic Sources along Caribbean Plate Boundaries
(2015)
The Caribbean region, home to more than 100 million people, has seen for the last 500 years at Least 75 documented tsunamis (von Hillebrandt-Andrade, 2013). It has been estimated that more than 4500 people have perished ...
Nations work together to size up Caribbean tsunami hazards
(AGU.ORG, 2018-10-04)
El Caribe es conocido por sus playas tropicales y centros de surf, pero no está exento de terremotos y tsunamis. Durante los últimos 500 años, esta región puede haber estado expuesta a aproximadamente 100 tsunamis, de los ...
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 ...
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.
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 ...
Evaluation of the collaboration process from an individual and collaborative perspective
(ACM International Conference Proceeding Series, 2014-09)
Many proposals to evaluate the collaborative process focus on "measure" the group's participation in the fulfillment of the activity and do not consider the individual aspect. This paper reports the results of an exploratory ...
Variations in the geostrophic circulation pattern and thermohaline structure in the Southeast Central American Pacific
(Revista de Biologia Tropical vol.64 suppl.1 s121-s134 2016, 2016-03)
This study was conducted in the southeast region of the Central American Pacific, an area of great oceanographic importance due to the presence of various upwelling phenomena and the direct influence of the ENSO on its ...
Induction of sperm activation in open and closed thelycum penaeoid shrimps
(Aquaculture vol.216 no.1-4 371-381 2003, 2003)
A modified egg water (EW) technique for in vitro induction of sperm activation was applied to Trachypenaeus byrdi, Xiphopenaeus riveti (closed thelycum shrimps), and Litopenaeus occidentalis (open thelycum) from a tropical ...
