(2018)El artículo pretende contextualizar el conflicto palestino-israelí en el 70 aniversario de la Nakba o catástrofe, su desarrollo y estado actual, a partir del plan de paz ideado por la Administración Trump. La Nakba o ... -
A BDDC algorithm with deluxe scaling for H(curl) in two dimensions with irregular subdomains
(2015)A bound is obtained for the condition number of a BDDC algorithm for problems posed in H(curl) in two dimensions, where the subdomains are only assumed to be uniform in the sense of Peter Jones. For the primal variable ... -
A bibliometric analysis of the scientific production of Center for Geophysical Research (CIGEFI) of the University of Costa Rica in scientific journals from 1979 to 2011
(2013-07-01)This scientific article presents an analysis about the work belonging to the Center for Geophysical Research (CIGEFI) of the University of Costa Rica since its inception in 1979 until 2011. It highlights the most productive ... -
A biocomputational platform for the automated construction of large-scale mathematical models of miRNA-transcription factor networks for studies on gene dosage compensation
(2016-11-09)Cancer complexity and resistance is mediated by cell-to-cell heterogeneity, which is the consequence of the enormous instability of its genetic material. It is unknown how cancer cells are able to withstand the effects ... -
A biogeographical evaluation of high-elevation myxomycete assemblages in the northern Neotropics
(2011-08)This study represented an effort to apply some of the relatively well-known biogeographical and macroecological models to the observed structure of myxomycete assemblages, with emphasis on the northern Neotropical region. ... -
A brief account of the history of family planning in Costa Rica
(2009)Costa Rica has been a focus of demographic attention for at least two reasons: its startling rate of natural population growth, which peaked at 3.8% during 1955 and 1960 and which was considered one of the highest in the ... -
A brief survey of Higgs bundles
(2019-06)Considering a compact Riemann surface of genus greater or equal than two, a Higgs bundle is a pair composed of a holomorphic bundle over the Riemann surface, joint with an auxiliar vector field, so-called Higgs field. This ... -
A bright future for integrative venomics
(2015-10)Venomous secretions are produced by a myriad of animal species, from invertebrates to vertebrates. As a general rule, peptides and proteins represent the most abundant and functionally relevant components of these dangerous ... -
A Call for Incorporating Social Research in the Global Struggle against Snakebite
(2015-09-17)In Africa, Asia, Latin America, and parts of Oceania, envenoming after snakebite is a serious public health problem. Conservative data suggest that between 1.2 and 5.5 million people suffer snakebites every year, resulting ... -
A call-and-response system facilitates group cohesion among disc-winged bats
(2013)Acoustic signals are important in maintaining group cohesion, particularly in highly mobile species. For these signals to facilitate group cohesion, individuals must be able to recognize, and respond to, calls emitted by ... -
A carbonate platform associated with shallow cold methane seeps in Golfo Dulce, Pacific Costa Rica
(2015)Marine methane seeps are typically observed in cold, anoxic and organic-rich deep-sea environments, such as in the Black Sea, where methane emissions fuel the authigenic accretion of calcium carbonate structures via microbial ...
