The rock coast of South and Central America
(Geological Society Memoirs 2014, 2014-07)
The great variety of climatic conditions, tidal ranges and wave regimes of South and Central America act on a complex
geology and tectonic framework. Many of the rock and cliffed coasts of South America are strongly ...
β- decay of 65Mn to 65Fe
(American Physical Society, 2013-10-07)
The low-energy structure of 65Fe has been studied by means of γ and fast-timing spectroscopy at the ISOLDE facility, CERN. A level scheme of 65Fe populated following the β-decay of 65Mn was established for the first time. ...
Nations work together to size up Caribbean tsunami hazards
(AGU.ORG, 2018-10-04)
El Caribe es conocido por sus playas tropicales y centros de surf, pero no está exento de terremotos y tsunamis. Durante los últimos 500 años, esta región puede haber estado expuesta a aproximadamente 100 tsunamis, de los ...
Evaluación de fuentes tsunamigénicas en el sur de Centroamérica y la generación de mapas de evacuación en la costa Pacífica de Costa Rica
(Geo - Network of Latinomerican - German alumi (GOAL) 7-10 2015, 2015)
Costa Rica se encuentra en el extremo oeste de la placa Caribe, en el sur de América Central. En esta región se da la interacción de cuatro placas tectónicas. La placa Cocos se subduce bajo la placa Caribe y la microplaca ...
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 ...
Metodología para la Evaluación de Rutas de Evacuación en caso de Tsunami Aplicado a la Costa del Pacífico Norte y Central de Costa Rica
(Revista en Torno a la Prevención no.16 17-26 2016, 2016)
Se ha diseñado un método con el objetivo de elaborar una cartografía de rutas de evacuación en caso de tsunami a escala 1:10.000, basado en las directrices establecidas por la Comisión Europea. Las áreas de estudio son las ...
Polymer gel dosimeter based on itaconic acid
(2015-11)
A new polymeric dosimeter based on itaconic acid and N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide was studied. The preparation method, compositions of monomer and crosslinking agent and the presence of oxygen in the dosimetric system were ...
Hidrography and river plumes in Golfo Dulce, South Pacific of Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2015-07)
Oceanographic variables at 33 stations distributed in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica, during the dry and rainy seasons between 2009 and 2010, were analyzed with CTD profiles, where salinity, temperature, sigma-T and currents were ...
Polycrystalline indium films in the percolation threshold regime: Time correlation between electric conduction and optical properties with film morphology
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2014-02-21)
Polycrystalline indium films have been deposited at room temperature by electron beam evaporation on amorphous quartz substrates. Once deposited, electrical resistance and specular reflection of the films, for wavelengths ...
Variations in the geostrophic circulation pattern and thermohaline structure in the Southeast Central American Pacific
(Revista de Biologia Tropical vol.64 suppl.1 s121-s134 2016, 2016-03)
This study was conducted in the southeast region of the Central American Pacific, an area of great oceanographic importance due to the presence of various upwelling phenomena and the direct influence of the ENSO on its ...
