Evaluación de la peligrosidad del tsunami de Chile del 16 de setiembre del 2015 para Costa Rica
(Revista Ciencias Marinas y Costeras vo.8 no.1 113-128 2016, 2016)
A Mw 8.3 earthquake took place in Chile on September 16th, 2015 causing a local tsunami. As a consequence, this earthquake prompted the National Tsunami Monitoring System (SINAMOT) in Costa Rica to conduct a tsunami hazard ...
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 ...
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 ...
Evaluation of volume change in rectum and bladder during application of image-guided radiotherapy for prostate carcinoma
(AIP Conference Proceedings, 2016-07-07)
All prostate cancer patients from Centro Médico Radioterapia Siglo XXI receive Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT). This therapy uses image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) with the Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This ...
Numerical Simulation of Several Tectonic Tsunami Sources at the Caribbean Basin
(2016)
According to the NGDC/WDS Global Historical Tsunami Database, the Caribbean Sea has experienced more than 100 historical tsunamis. The most recent tsunami observed in this basin was caused by the 2010 Haity Mw 7.0 earthquake ...
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 ...
Metodología para la Evaluación de Rutas de Evacuación en caso de Tsunami Aplicado a la Costa del Pacífico Norte y Central de Costa Rica
(Revista en Torno a la Prevención no.16 17-26 2016, 2016)
Se ha diseñado un método con el objetivo de elaborar una cartografía de rutas de evacuación en caso de tsunami a escala 1:10.000, basado en las directrices establecidas por la Comisión Europea. Las áreas de estudio son las ...
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 ...
