Tsunamis from Tectonic Sources along Caribbean Plate Boundaries
(2015)
The Caribbean region, home to more than 100 million people, has seen for the last 500 years at Least 75 documented tsunamis (von Hillebrandt-Andrade, 2013). It has been estimated that more than 4500 people have perished ...
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 ...
Abelian covers of alternating groups
(Archiv der Mathematik 107 135-150, 2016-07-07)
Let G = A n , a finite alternating group. We study the commuting graph of G and establish, for all possible values of n barring 13, 14, 17, and 19 whether or not the independence number is equal to the clique-covering number.
Efficiency measurement and Monte Carlo simulations of a CeBr3 scintillator
(Applied Radiation and Isotopes Vol.120. 71-75 2016, 2016-11)
CeBr3 crystals meet many of the demands of high performance scintillators, due to their excellent timing properties, good effective Z and high photon yield. It is important to characterize their efficiency and to verify ...
Seasonal and Diel Patterns of Total Gaseous Mercury Concentration In Atmospheric Air of the Central Valley of Costa Rica
(2011)
Monitoring mercury in atmospheric air near volcanoes is limited with no previous data for Costa Rica. Seasonal and daily patterns of total gaseous mercury (TGM) were observed at our main sampling location at the Universidad ...
