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 by the tsunami's interaction ...

With the purpose of comparing the main geolectrics arrays used for the realization of vertical electrical sounding, a direct simulation is presented, considering two geologic models. The investigation depth, precision in ...

In March and October of 2000, under the DIPAL II project (Proyecto para el Desarrollo Integral de la Pesca Artesanal en la Región Autónoma del Atlántico Sur), two hydrographic surveys were carried out in the Bay of Bluefields ...

A simple method for the isolation of chitin is described. It is based on the solubility of the biopolymer in concentrated aqueous HCl at low temperature. The solubility diagram of the system chitin-HCl-H2O is discussed as ...

Experiments were carried out, to determine the capability of diatomite for the disposal of laboratory residues. Experimentation with different organic solvents (ethyl ether, acetone, ethyl acetate, hexane and ethanol) ...

The quality assurance program in a Nuclear Medicine Department aims to minimize errors and artifacts that cover all aspects of clinical practice. The quality control can be seen such as one particular procedure used to ...

A general model of chemical association is presented for the correlation of activities of components of a binary mixture A + B with negative deviation from Raoult's law. The model takes into account the coexistence in ...

The climatologically behavior of the wind and waves is studied around the Costa Rica's coasts using re-analysis data from wave forecasting numeric model. It is found that the wind in the Caribbean coasts of Costa Rica is ...
