A Collaborative Effort Between Caribbean States for Tsunami Numerical Modeling: Case Study CaribeWave15
(Pure and Applied Geophysics vol.175 no.2 1405-1428 2017, 2017)Historical records have shown that tsunami have affected the Caribbean region in the past. However infrequent, recent studies have demonstrated that they pose a latent hazard for countries within this basin. The Hazard ... -
A combined experimental and theoretical study of gas sorption on nanoporous silver triazolato metal-organic frameworks
(2014-01-01)A new silver-triazolate metal-organic framework (MOF), {Ag 3[Ag5(μ3-3,5-tBu 2tz)6](BF4)2}n (2), has been prepared and structurally characterized. The CO2 sorption properties of this new MOF and previously reported isostructural ... -
A combined first-principles computational/experimental study on LiNi 0.66Co 0.17Mn 0.17O 2 as a potential layered cathode material
(Elsevier, 2012-08-01)First-principles calculations are used to analyze the phase stability, formation energy, and Li intercalation potential for a series of layered cathode materials. The calculations show LiNi 0.66Co 0.17Mn 0.17O 2 as a ... -
A dynamic simulation model for the blooming of Oscillatoria agardhii in a monomictic lake
(Elsevier, 1995-01-15)The occurrence of phytoplankton blooms is a common problem in water bodies. The quantitative description of the algal population growth is of primary importance to understand the mechanisms which lead to these phytoplankton ... -
A first estimation of Tsunami Hazard of the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica from Local and Distant Seismogenic Sources
(IV Assembly of the Latin American and Caribbean Seismological Commission, LACSC 2022, 2022-10-04)Costa Rica has experienced 41 tsunamis since 1746, 36 of them at the Pacific coast and only 5 at the Caribbean coast. However, the oldest record belongs to the Caribbean coast, as well as the only tsunami that has caused ... -
A first estimation of tsunami hazard of the Pacific coast of Costa Rica from local and distant seismogenic sources
(Springer, 2021-06-04)Costa Rica has been affected by several local and distant tsunamis in the past, but the historical information is scarce and incomplete. Its Pacific coast stretches for over a thousand kilometers, and tsunami hazard has ... -
A lightweight environment for 2D visual applications
(EasyChair, 2019)People and organizations constantly use a wide variety of devices and formats to produce large volumes of data. This involves a series of challenges related to processing and transforming data into valuable knowledge to ... -
A management plan for the sport fishery of Parachromis dovii (Pisces: Cichlidae) in Hule lake, Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2000-06)A first attempt to regulate the fishing activity while preserving the species and its habitats is presented for Hule lake. We intensively sampled the "guapote" between March 1996 and April 1997 using monofilament gill nets ... -
A methane sink in the Central American high elevation páramo: Topographic, soil moisture and vegetation effects
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-03-15)Methane (CH4) is a strong greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 23 times larger than that of carbon dioxide. Characterizing ecosystems as either sources or sinks for methane and their magnitudes informs on biosphere ... -
