Importancia de los estudios geofísicos y tectónicos como herramientas para lograr una mejor comprensión de la vulnerabilidad hidrogeológica en los rellenos sanitarios de Costa Rica.
(2015-11-09)Este documento se basa principalmente en la revisión y el análisis de las actuales disposiciones técnico/científicas emitidas por el Servicio Nacional de Aguas Subterráneas Riego y Avenamiento (SENARA) de Costa Rica, las ... -
Importancia del alcance en redes del CIGEFI-UCR: Un estudio de los datos, según las publicaciones realizadas en los períodos entre 1979-2015
(2018)Desde 1979, el Centro de Investigaciones Geofísicas (CIGEFI) de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) ha evolucionado constantemente hasta convertirse en un referente regional de la Geofísica. Esto ha sido facilitado por ... -
Importancia del microbioma en la salud humana y aplicaciones medicas
(2023)Recent research has linked gut microbiota to human health in multiple ways. The evolution of lifestyles has determined a change in the composition of intestinal bacteria, as well as the implications that they exert on ... -
Improved Automatic Centerline Tracing for Dendritic and Axonal Structures
(2015-04)Centerline tracing in dendritic structures acquired from confocal images of neurons is an essential tool for the construction of geometrical representations of a neuronal network from its coarse scale up to its fine scale ... -
Improved Epstein-Glaser renormalization in x-space versus differential renormalization
(2014-09)Renormalization of massless Feynman amplitudes in x-space is reexamined here, using almost exclusively real-variable methods. We compute a wealth of concrete examples by means of recursive extension of distributions. This ... -
Improved seasonal prediction skill of rainfall for the Primera season in Central America
(2017)This study explores the predictive skill of seasonal rainfall characteristics for the first rainy (and planting) season, May–June, in Central America. Statistical predictive models were built using a Model Output Statistics ... -
Improvement of early detection of breast cancer through collaborative multi-country efforts: Medical physics component
(2018)Purpose: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) through a Coordinated Research Project on “Enhancing Capacity for Early Detection and Diagnosis of Breast Cancer through Imaging”, brought together a group of mammography ... -
In favor of establishment: chromatid cohesion in plants
(2017-05-23)In eukaryotic organisms, the correct regulation of sister chromatid cohesion, whereby sister chromatids are paired and held together, is essential for accurate segregation of the sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes ... -
In memoriam – Dora Emilia Mora de Retana (24.08.1940 – 12.07.2001)
(2001)Se resumen aspectos sobresalientes de la vida académica de la orquideóloga costarricense Dora Emilia Mora y se mencionan algunas de sus principales contribuciones en taxonomía y conservación de las orquídeas. -
In Memoriam: Dr. William Mark Whitten (1954−2019)
(2019)The world of orchid academia was rocked on April 12, 2019 when the shocking and completely unexpected news that Mark Whitten had passed began to circulate. Many readers of Orchids magazine may not be familiar with ... -
In vitro studies to evaluate the wound healing properties of Calendula officinalis extracts
(2017)Ethnopharmacological relevance: Calendula officinalis (pot marigold) flower extracts have a long-lasting tradition in ethnopharmacology. Currently, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has approved its lipophilic and aqueous ... -
Los incendios forestales y su incidencia en el Parque Nacional Santa Rosa, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica (1971-2020)
(2020)El PNSR tuvo su origen en la declaratoria de la Casona de Santa Rosa como Monumento Histórico al emitirse la Ley N. 3694 el 1 de julio de 1966 (ver Fotografía 1) . La importancia histórica de esta edificación, construida ... -
Incidence of parasitoids and predators on eggs of seven species of Therididae (Araneae)
(2012)Although many characteristics of the egg sacs of spiders likely evolved to reduce the effect of parasites and predators that attack their eggs, many parasite and predator insects have become specialized on spider eggs. ... -
Incorporating variable viscosity in vorticity-based formulations for Brinkman equations
(2019-06)In this brief note, we introduce a non-symmetric mixed finite element formulation for Brinkman equations written in terms of velocity, vorticity, and pressure with non-constant viscosity. The analysis is performed by the ... -
Independent evolutionary lineage of the clingfish Gobiesox adustus (Gobiesocidae) from Isla del Coco, Costa Rica
(2020-03-24)Introduction: Isla del Coco is an important protected area for marine fauna in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. In this area, the species that inhabit the intertidal zone have been subject to few studies. One of the species ... -
Indicator-based management recommendations for an artisanal bottom-longline fishery in Costa Rica, Central America
(2017)There is a growing need to strengthen the small-scale fishing sector with emerging governance methods that improve fishers’ threatened livelihoods. Therefore, this study’s aim was to develop management ... -

Indirect inference for locally stationary ARMA processes with stable innovations
(2020)The class of locally stationary processes assumes that there is a time-varying spectral representation, that is, the existence of finite second moment. We propose the α-stable locally stationary process by modifying the ... -
Individual and tempo- ral variation in outcrossing rates and pollen flow patterns in Ceiba pentandra (Malvaceae: Bombacoidea)
(2013)Ceiba pentandra is a tropical tree with high rates of selfing in some populations. In mixed‐mating species, variation in selfing is due to changes in adult density or variability of incompatibility systems. The effect of ...
