Effect of inorganic salts and matrix crosslinking on the dose response of polymer gel dosimeters based on acrylamide
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018-07-17)
The use of additives in polymer gel dosimeters to enhance their sensitivity or to improve their performance is of
great importance for their application in radiomedicine. Inorganic salts have been used as additives with ...
Graphene flakes obtained by local electro-exfoliation of graphite with a STM tip
(Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics vol.11 no.19 8061-8068 2017, 2017-02-24)
Graphite surfaces can be manipulated by several methods to create graphene structures of different shapes and sizes. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) can be used to create these structures either through mechanical ...
Modeling the Tsunami Potential along the Pacific Coast of Central America
(2018)
Along the Pacific of Central America the Cocos plate subducts beneath the Caribbean plate, at the Middle America Trench (MAT). There are no records of mega earthquakes originated there; probably associated to the low ...
Tsunami Threat Assessment for the North and Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica
(Seismological Research Letters, 2018)
A joint international conference of the Seismological Society of America (SSA) and the Latin American and Caribbean Seismological Commission (LACSC) will be held in Miami, Florida on 14 – 17 May 2018. The conference is 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 ...
Importancia de la batimetría de las planicies abisales en la propagación de tsunamis transoceánicos
(Ciencia y tecnología Vol.25,No.1-2 22-33, 2007)
The initial form of a tsunami originated by an homogeneous seismic source consists on a simple wave front. While the tsunami propagates in deep water, this simple form suffers several modifications ...
Simulación rápida de la propagación del tsunami de Chile de 1960 hasta la Bahía de Hilo en Hawaii
(Tecnología en marcha Vol.20 No.4 24-29, 2007)
En este trabajo se simula la propagación del tsunami de Chile de 1960, desde su región de generación hasta la bahía de Hilo en Hawái, empleando un método híbrido que permite obtener resultados en un intervalo relativamente ...
