Biogardens as constructed wetlands in tropical climate: A case study in the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2019-03-25)
In Costa Rica, <10% of wastewater is treated before its discharge. This generates a significant impact on the environment, public health, and tourism industry, which is one of the country's main economic activities. ...
Irbesartan desmotropes: Solid-state characterization, thermodynamic study and dissolution properties
(Xi'an Jiaotong University, 2019-07-10)
Irbesartan (IBS) is a tetrazole derivative and antihypertensive drug that has two interconvertible structures, 1H- and 2H-tautomers. The difference between them lies in the protonation of the tetrazole ring. In the ...
DOC Transport and Export in a Dynamic Tropical Catchment
(American Geophysical Union, 2019)
Abstract Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) transport and export from headwater forests into freshwaters in highly dynamic tropical catchments are still understudied. Here we present a DOC analysis (2017) in a
pristine and ...
Tracer hydrology in a hydrometric data-limited and complex tropical mountainous region: the case of the Central American Isthmus
(European Geosciences Union, 2019)
Numerous socio-economic activities are dependent on the seasonal rainfall and groundwater recharge cycle across the Central American Isthmus. Demographic growth and unregulated land use changes resulted in extensive surface ...
Preface to Stable isotopes in hydrological studies in the tropics: ecohydrological perspectives in a changing climate
(Wiley & Sons, 2019)
Tropical regions (comprised between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, 23.5°N to 23.5°S) cover approximately 36% of the Earth's landmass. They are home to 40% of the world's population, which is
projected to increase ...
On the comparison between diafiltration and isothermal titration calorimetry: Determination of the amount of analytes bound to watersoluble polymers
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
Aqueous systems composed of low molecular-weight species (LMWS) and water-soluble polymers (WSP) present
important technological applications. Therefore, continuous advances on characterization techniques are crucial
to ...
Moisture transport and seasonal variations in the stable isotopic composition of rainfall in Central American and Andean Páramo during El Niño conditions (2015–2016)
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)
High‐elevation tropical grassland systems, called Páramo, provide essential ecosystem services such as water storage and supply for surrounding and lowland areas.
Páramo systems are threatened by climate and land use ...
Potent CYP3A4 Inhibitors Derived from Dillapiol and Sesamol
(American Chemical Society 4, 6, 10915–10920 2019, 2019)
Synthesis of 50 analogues of the natural insecticide synergists, dillapiol and sesamol, is reported. These were
evaluated as potential insecticide synergists based on their inhibition of human CYP3A4. The most potent ...
Drug Solubility Enhancement through the Preparation of Multicomponent Organic Materials: Eutectics of Lovastatin with Carboxylic Acids
(MDPI AG, 2019-03)
Lovastatin (LOV) is a drug used to treat hypercholesterolemia. Recent studies have
identified its antioxidant effects and potential use in the treatment of some types of cancer. However,
the low bioavailability related ...
