Tracer-aided modelling reveals quick runo generation and groundwater losses producing young stream ow ages in a tropical rainforest catchment
(2021-05-29)
There is still limited understanding of how waters mix, where waters come from and for how long they reside in tropical catchments. In this study, we used a tracer-aided model (TAM) and a gamma convolution integral model ...
Stable isotopic characterizacion of nitrate wet deposition in the tropical urban atmosphere of Costa Rica
(Springer, 2021-07-13)
Increasing energy consumption and food production worldwide results in anthropogenic emissions of reactive nitrogen into the atmosphere. To date, however, little information is available on tropical urban environments where ...
Chirripo Hydrological Research Site: advancing stable isotope hydrology in the Central American Paramo
(AUTHOREA, 2021)
Tropical mountainous ecosystems are recognized as providers of valuable ecological and hydrological services (Viviroli et al, 2007). In Central America, the P aramo, a high-elevation tropical grassland ecosystem, extends ...
Stable isotopic characterization of nitrate wet deposition in the tropical urban atmosphere of Costa Rica
(Research Square, 2021)
Increasing energy consumption and food production worldwide results in anthropogenic emissions of reactive nitrogen into the atmosphere. To date, however, little information is available on tropical urban environments where ...
Renewable fatty acid ester production in Clostridium
(Nature Communications, 2021-07-16)
Bioproduction of renewable chemicals is considered as an urgent solution for fossil energy crisis. However, despite tremendous efforts, it is still challenging to generate microbial strains that can produce target biochemical ...

Residual nitrite in processed meat products in Costa Rica: Method validation, long-term survey and intake estimations
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-05-12)
Ingestion of high amounts of nitrite due processed meat consumption could produce negative effects in human health. Here, we investigate long-term residual sodium nitrite content in processed meat products in Costa Rica ...
New advances in the method validation, extraction methods and measurement uncertainty for the determination of water-soluble hexavalent chromium in hydraulic cement
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-04-20)
The quantification of Cr (VI) in the cement matrix is highly important, given the possibility of suffering illnesses including dermatitis, induced nasal carcinoma, and DNA damage produced by inhalation of and/or direct ...
End member and Bayesian mixing models consistently indicate near-surface flowpath dominance in a pristine humid tropical rainforest
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021)
The impacts of forest conversion on runoff generation in the tropics have received much
interest, but scientific progress is still hampered by challenging fieldwork conditions and
limited knowledge about runoff mechanisms. ...
Nutritional and bioactive composition of Spanish, Valencia, and Virginia type peanut skins
(Academic Press Inc., 2021-01-21)
The aims of this study were to determine the proximate and amino acid compositions, mineral content, and fatty acid and proanthocyanidins (PAC) profiles of peanut skins (PS) from three varieties of peanuts. Proximate ...
