Comparación de la habilidad reproductiva y mortalidad del ácaro Varroa destructor en celdas con cría de obrera y zángano en abejas africanizadas de Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2014-10-31)
Se estudió la reproducción del ácaro Varroa destructor en celdas con cría de obrera
y zángano. Además se evaluó la mortalidad de la progenie de V. destructor, especialmente la
muerte o ausencia del macho. El estudio se ...
Chlorine isotope and Cl–Br fractionation in fluids of Poás volcano (Costa Rica): Insight into an active volcanic–hydrothermal system
(Elsevier, 2016-10-01)
Halogen-rich volcanic fluids issued at the surface carry information on properties and processes operating in shallow hydrothermal systems. This paper reports a long-term record of Cl–Br concentrations and δ37Cl signatures ...
Middle to Late Miocene Contractional Deformation in Costa Rica Triggered by Plate Geodynamics
(AGU Publications, 2017-12-11)
Contractional deformation in Costa Rica is usually attributed to the subduction of the aseismic Cocos Ridge. In this work, we review the evidences for contraction in the middle to late Miocene, prior to the arrival of the ...
Isla del Coco, on Cocos Plate, converges with Isla de San Andrés, on the Caribbean Plate, at 78mm/yr
(Revista de Biologia Tropical, 2012-11)
Isla del Coco is the only land mass of the Cocos Plate that emerges above sea level. This makes it the only place where Cocos Plate motion can be measured using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) monitoring. Global ...
Constraints on upper mantle anisotropy surrounding the Cocos slab from SK(K)S splitting
(American Geophysical Union, 2010-06-24)
SKS and SKKS splitting observations are used to constrain the pattern of mantle flow
in the Central American subduction zone beneath Costa Rica and Nicaragua. After
removing the effects of shallow wedge anisotropy on ...
Carbon accumulation in aboveground and belowground biomass and soil of different age native forest plantations in the humid tropical lowlands of Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2012)
Generic or default values to account for biomass and carbon accumulation in tropical forest ecosystems are generally recognized as a major source of errors, making site and species specific data the best way to achieve ...
Concentration of PM10 in the Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica, Central America: chemical composition and potential sources
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2010)
Measurements of metals and inorganic ions were carried out on PM10. Sampling was made in five sites distributed in San José, Heredia and Belén cities. Samples were collected using Thermo Andersen PM10 high volume samplers ...
Determination of carbonyls and their sources in three sites of the metropolitan area of Costa Rica, Central America
(Springer Science+Business Media B.V, 2011-03-02)
Ambient levels of carbonyl compounds
and their possible sources were studied at three
places in the metropolitan area of Costa Rica,
including a residential, an industrial, and a com mercial downtown area with high ...
Temporal and spatial variations in organic and elemental carbon concentrations in PM10/PM2.5 in the metropolitan area of Costa Rica, Central America
(Science Direct, 2013-01)
PM2.5 and PM10 samples were collected at 4 and 14 sampling sites, respectively, located in the Metropolitan area of Costa Rica (MACR), during 2010-2011. These sites were representative of commercial, industrial and residential ...
Chemical characterization of filterable PM2.5 emissions generated from regulated stationary sources in the Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2017-01-14)
Filterable PM2.5 concentrations and their chemical characterizations were analyzed for 67 boilers and 25 indirect furnaces located in the Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica from February 2014 to November 2015. The PM2.5 samples ...
