Assessing the reactive surface area of soils and the association of soil organic carbon with natural oxide nanoparticles using ferrihydrite as proxy
(2020-09-09)
Assessment of the surface reactivity of natural metal-(hydr)oxide nanoparticles is necessary for predicting ion adsorption phenomena in soils using surface complexation modeling. Here, we describe how the equilibrium ...
Design of an optimized biomixture for the degradation of carbofuran based on pesticide removal and toxicity reduction of the matrix
(2015-12)
Pesticide biopurification systems contain a biologically active matrix (biomixture) responsible for the accelerated elimination of pesticides in wastewaters derived from pest control in crop fields. Biomixtures have been ...
Caracterización fisicoquímica de las aguas superficiales de la cuenca del río Rincón en la Península de Osa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
(San Pedro de Montes de Oca, San José, Costa Rica, 2008)
Este proyecto se desarrolló en la cuenca del río Rincón en la península de Osa, una de las regiones
geológicas más antiguas de Costa Rica. En ella afloran unidades de roca ígnea y sedimentaria,
además de sedimentos ...
Biodegradation of Pharmaceuticals by Fungi and Metabolites Identification
(2012-01-01)
Pharmaceutical compounds comprise a widely employed group of
therapeutic agents now considered as emerging micropollutants. This chapter
summarizes the state of the art in the degradation of pharmaceuticals by fungi ...
A new methodology for the synthesis of δ-substituted α,β-unsaturated δ-lactones
(2020)
A new protocol for the synthesis of δ-substituted-α,β-unsaturated δ-lactones was developed. Selective reaction of 1,3-dilithiopropyne with ketones, followed by addition of ethyl chloroformate formed ethyl 5-[(ethoxycarbo ...
Biodiversity Prospecting: The INBio Experience
(2004)
Bioprospecting is defined as the systematic search for genes, compounds, designs, and organisms that might have a potential economic use and might lead to a product development. In 1991, Costa Rica's National Institute of ...
Alkaloid contents in members of Lycopodiales
(2001)
The composition of alkaloids in fifteen species that belong to the Lycopodiales, which grow wild in Costa Rica were analysed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Several alkaloids were identified, ...
Experimental and theoretical studies of C–H⋯M interactions in palladium and platinum complexes derived from 1,2-bis-(2-hydroxymethylphenylthio)ethane
(2015-02)
The molecular structures of several related cis-[j2-SS-(L)MHal2] compounds 1, 1DMSO, 2, 2H2O,
3DMSO, 4 and 5 where L = HOCH2Ph-S-CH2-CH2-S-PhCH2OH, M = Pd or Pt, and Hal = Cl or Br or I, were analyzed by single crystal ...
Organic Carbon Determination by the Walkley-Black and Dry Combustion Methods in SurfaceSoils and Andept Profiles from Costa Rica
(1979-01)
The efficiency of oxidation of organic C by the Walkley-Black method was studied by comparing with determinations using dry combustion equipment and gravimetric determination for the evolved CO2. Fifty surface soils (0-30 ...
Germacranolides from Mikania guaco
(2001-03)
Fourteen novel sesquiterpene lactones of the germacranolide type have been isolated from the aerial parts of Mikania guaco: six costunolide, two melampolide and six germacra-4-trans,10(14),11(13)-trien-12,6α-olide derivatives. ...
