Scorpion maintenance in captivity for venom extraction in Costa Rica
(Revista de Biologia Tropical Vol.64 No.3 1019-1027, 2016-04-04)
Approximately 2 000 scorpion species can be found around the world; although few species are considered “harmful” to human beings, a high number of scorpionism cases are reported all over the world. The ...
The 2017 México Tsunami Record, Numerical Modeling and Threat Assessment in Costa Rica
(Springer, 2018-03-30)
An Mw 8.2 earthquake and tsunami occurred off- shore the Pacific coast of Me´xico on 2017-09-08, at 04:49 UTC. Costa Rican tide gauges have registered a total of 21 local, regional and far-field tsunamis. The Quepos gauge ...
Several Tsunami Scenarios at the North Sea and their consequences at the German Bight
(Journal of Tsunami Society International vol.32 no.1 2013, 2013)
Tsunamis occurred in the past at the North Sea, but not frequently. There are historical and geological records of several tsunamis: the Storegga tsunami caused sediment deposits in Scotland 8,000 years ago and records of ...
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 ...
Sistema Nacional de Monitoreo de Tsunamis
(Revista Universidad en Diálogo vol.5 no.2 101-111 2015, 2015)
En cualquier cuerpo de agua, y más específicamente en cualquier océano, se pude generar un tsunami. Por esto, nuestro país, al tener dos costas, se encuentra expuesto a ellos. Los tsunamis no se pueden evitar ni pronosticar ...
Modeling a tsunami from the Nicoya, Costa Rica, seismic gap and its potential impact in Puntarenas
(Journal of South American Earth Sciences .Vol.31 No.4 372-382, 2011)
Although subduction zones around the world are known to be the source of earthquakes and/or tsunamis, not all segments of these plate boundaries generate destructive earthquakes and catastrophic tsunamis. Costa Rica, in ...
Chemical tradeoffs in seed dispersal: defensive metabolites in fruits deter consumption by mutualist bats
(Oikos, 2015-09-08)
Although fleshy fruits function primarily to attract seed dispersers, many animal‐dispersed fruits contain potentially toxic secondary metabolites. These metabolites can provide defense against seed predators and pathogens, ...
Sizeable beta-strength in 31Ar (β3p) decay
(Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics, 2014-10-07)
We present for the first time precise spectroscopic information on the recently discovered decay mode β-delayed 3p-emission. The detection of the 3p events gives an increased sensitivity to the high energy part of the ...
Multiparticle emission in the decay of Ar 31
(American Physical Society, 2014-06-25)
A multihit capacity setup was used to study the decay of the dripline nucleus 31Ar, produced at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. A spectroscopic analysis of the β-delayed three-proton decay of 31Ar is presented for the first ...
The rip current hazard in Costa Rica
(2015-01-31)
Deaths from rip currents are a major hazard on global beaches, but few data are available at a national scale to support the development of appropriate intervention programs. Analysis of data from the Judicial Investigation ...
