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 ... -
Bayesian estimates of the mean recharge elevations of water sources in the Central America region using stable water
(Elsevier, 2020)Study region: Central America. Study focus: Knowledge of the mean recharge elevation (MRE) of water resources is important where water resources are vulnerable. The purpose of this study was to develop and apply a Bayesian ... -
Biocomposite Films of Polylactic Acid Reinforced with Microcrystalline Cellulose from Pineapple Leaf Fibers
(Tech Science Press, 2019)Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composite films reinforced with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) extracted from pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) were prepared by a solution casting procedure. In an attempt to improve the interaction ... -
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 ... -
Biofabrication of Gold Nanotriangles Using Liposomes as a Dual Functional Reductant and Stabilizer
(American Chemical Society, 2021-03-23)Negatively charged liposomes accomplished both functions as a reducing and stabilizing agent in the synthesis of gold nanotriangles (GNTs). Liposomes are based on a mixture of phospholipids phosphatidylcholine/phosphoglycerol, ... -
Biogardens as constructed wetlands in tropical climate: A case study in the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2019-03-25)In Costa Rica, <10% of wastewater is treated before its discharge. This generates a significant impact on the environment, public health, and tourism industry, which is one of the country's main economic activities. ... -
Biogenic silica-based microparticles obtained as a sub-product of the nanocellulose extraction process from pineapple peels
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-07-10)Silica in plant tissues has been suggested as a component for enhancing mechanical properties, and as a physical barrier. Pineapples present in their shell and bracts rosette-like microparticles that could be associated ... -
