Rotation-Based Mixed Formulations for an Elasticity-Poroelasticity Interface Problem
(2020)
In this paper we introduce a new formulation for the stationary poroelasticity equations written using the rotation vector and the total fluid-solid pressure as additional unknowns, and we also write an extension to the ...
Well-posedness and discrete analysis for advection-diffusion-reaction in poroelastic media
(2021)
We analyse a PDE system modelling poromechanical processes (formulated in mixed form using the solid deformation, fluid pressure, and total pressure) interacting with diffusing and reacting solutes in the medium. We ...
Kinship, association, and social complexity in bats
(2019-01)
Among mammals, bats exhibit extreme variation in sociality, with some species living largely solitary lives while others form colonies of more than a million individuals. Some tropical species form groups during the day ...
An augmented mixed–primal finite element method for a coupled flow–transport problem
(2015)
In this paper we analyze the coupling of a scalar nonlinear convection-diffusion problem with the Stokes equations where the viscosity depends on the distribution of the solution to the transport problem. An augmented ...
A posteriori error analysis of a semi-augmented finite element method for double-diffusive natural convection in porous media
(2024)
This paper presents our contribution to the a posteriori error analysis in 2D and 3D of a semi-augmented mixed-primal finite element method previously developed by us to numerically solve double-diffusive natural convection ...
Stability of a second-order method for phase change in porous media flow
(2018)
We analyse the stability of a second-order finite element scheme for the primal formulation of a Brinkman-Boussinesq model where the solidification process influences the drag and the viscosity. The problem is written in ...
Composition and species richness of the herpetofauna of a Costa Rican University campus
(2019)
The campus of the University of Costa Rica in Limón port city, Costa Rica, known as Sede del Caribe (SC),
includes a secondary forest of ca. 40 years old. This forest holds a great potential for environmental education, ...
Behavioural responses of reptiles to visitors of protected areas in Costa Rica
(2016)
Tourists can have a strong impact on the behaviour of wild animals, modifying
foraging strategies, diet and habitat use, increasing stress, and altering communication
and escaping behaviour. Such behavioural changes have ...
Comparing the efficiency of monofilament and traditional nets for capturing bats
(2021)
Traditional mist nets used for capturing bats have several drawbacks, particularly that they are inefficient at sampling many insectivorous species. One possible alternative is to use monofilament nets, whose netting is ...
Contrasting Thermal Strategies of Montane Neotropical Bats at High Elevations
(2018)
In the Neotropics, captive vespertilionid bats substantially reduce their metabolic rate at low ambient temperatures, similar to their temperate counterparts, whereas the ability of phyllostomids to lower metabolic rate ...
