Procesos de innovación en centros de investigación: casos de éxito en LANOTEC CENAT CONARE
(National Nanotechnology Laboratory, LANOTEC CENAT CONARE, Costa Rica. Polymer Laboratory, POLIUNA, National University, Costa Rica, 2020)
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 ...
Isomerization of fatty acids: A cellular barrier mechanism in nanotechnology?
(Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Vol.17 1-9, 2017-01)
This work is a kinetic study of the coupling reaction of 2-mercaptoethanol with methyl undecenoate and with methyl oleate through " click " chemistry. Reversibility and reactivity of each system were followed through Fourier ...
Synthesis of Dihydroindolo[2,3-c]carbazole as Potential Telomerase Inhibitor
(Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry vol.53 no.3 762-766 2015, 2015-05-27)
The dictyodendrins A-E were the first marine natural products that show inhibition of telomerase. A versatile and convergent route was described for the synthesis of derivatives of these pyrrolo[2,3-c]carbazole alkaloids ...
The manufacture and properties of oil palm and pineapple leaf fiberboard panels
(WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2014)
Particleboards were manufactured from oil palm fruit, the oil palm mesocarp fiber of Elaeis guineensis, the leaves of pineapple (Ananas comosus) and the sawdust from three fast-growing species of trees (Gmelina arborea, ...
Variación del oxígeno disuelto en el Río Burío-Quebrada Seca, Heredia, Costa Rica, en el periodo 2005 - 2010
(2013-08-22)
Las aguas superficiales constituyen una de las fuentes más importantes de agua dulce, sin embargo, una gran cantidad de ríos ubicados en zonas urbanas, están siendo utilizados como medios para la eliminación de residuos ...
Chirripó Hydrological Research Site: advancing stable isotope hydrology in the Central American Páramo
(2020-01-25)
The Chirripó Hydrological Research Site (CHRS) is located within the Chirripó National Park, Costa Rica (between 3,100-3,820 m asl) whereby ~100 km2 are covered by Páramo, a high‐elevation tropical grassland ecosystem. A ...
Spatial and Temporal Variation of Stable Isotopes in Precipitation across Costa Rica: An Analysis of Historic GNIP Records
(2013-11-27)
The location of Costa Rica on the Central American Isthmus creates unique microclimate systems that receive moisture inputs directly from the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. In Costa Rica, stable isotope monitoring ...
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. ...
Chemical and functional characterization of antimicrobial metabolites isolated from ascidian Rhopalaea Birkelandi
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 2011-12)
Marine ecosystems have a very large diversity of resources, most of them still partially unknown, and a
few others exploited for development of new industrial and toxicological products. The objective of this
investigation ...
