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 Strong-Motion Database of Costa Rica: 20 Years of Digital Records
(2020-09-09)In this article, we present a strong-motion database from earthquakes recorded by the Earthquake Engineering Laboratory at the University of Costa Rica. The database consists of 2471 three-component accelerograms from 155 ... -
A study case of two myxomycete surveys in a fir forest of central Mexico
(2021-07-13)Field collections and laboratory isolation in moist chamber cultures are two complementary techniques widely used to record sporocarps of myxomycetes. The species recorded using either method tend to be different due to ... -
A survey on 3D Perception for robot object manipulation tasks
(2019)Un sistema confiable de manipulación de objetos requiere de percepción sofisticada. Aspectos importantes de este sistema es ser capaz de detectar la forma, tamaño y pose de los objetos a manipular. Estas capacidades se ... -
Additions to the myxobiota of Central America
(2014)Given the fact that until recently the myxomycetes were an understudied group in Central America, it is not surprising that the number of new records for most countries is currently increasing at a steady pace. This is ... -
Age-related differences when walking downhill on different sloped terrains
(2015-01)Despite the common situation of walking on different sloped terrains, previous work on gait has focused on level terrain. This study aims to assess whether any age-related differences exist in spatiotemporal and stability ... -
An Object Manipulation System Architecture for Humanoid Robots Based on Primate Cognition
(2018)Currently one of the most important challenges is to bring robots out of factory floors to work alongside humans. Because these environments are characterized by a very large variety of objects, a key factor is to provide ... -
An update on the myxomycete biota (Amoebozoa: Myxogastria) of Colombia
(2012-08-01)Twelve new records of myxomycetes are reported for Colombia. These additions increase the number of myxomycetes known from this country to 108 species. Since the Colombian territory is part of a biodiversity-rich region in ... -
Analysis of a downdraft gasifier for energy use of biomass waste applying computational fluid dynamics
(2018)A numerical modeling was performed that simulates the thermal and fluid-dynamic behavior and generation of chemical species from the biomass gasification process in a downdraft reactor using computational fluid dynamics ... -
Analysis of Atomic Manipulation Tasks in human- shared scenarios (a Kitchen and a Collaborative Workshop Table) for a Humanoid Robot
(2018)In this paper we analyze the vocabulary of an action description language to be used, together with a low level object controller, by a humanoid robot in two specific scenarios: a kitchen and a collaborative workshop ... -
Análisis de la respuesta sísmica del Hospital Monseñor Sanabria
(1990-11)El objetivo de este trabajo es el de evaluar la respuesta estructural de la torre principal del Hospital Monseñor Sanabria durante el Sismo de Cóbano del 25 de marzo de 1990 (cuyo epicentro se localiza a unos 40 Km del ... -
Análisis dinámico de los edificios de Microbiología de la Universidad de Costa Rica
(1991-07)En el presente trabajo se hace un análisis dinámico de los edificios de la Facultad de Microbioloqía de la Universidad de Costa Rica, con el fin de poder determinar si satisfacen los requerimientos establecidos por el ... -
Approaching the wave energy potential in a coastline section of the Nicoya peninsula
(2020-02-12)The present work aims to generate an additional input to previous studies as well as deepens into the wave energy potential available. To reach this objective, it is projected to apply hybrid downscaling ... -
Assemblages of corticolous myxomycetes associated with species of Pinus (Pinaceae) in four different regions of the world
(2020-07-02)Corticolous myxomycetes associated with four species of pine in different regions of the world were investigated. Samples of bark collected from 20 trees in each region were used to prepare 240 moist chamber cultures, ... -
Assemblages of myxomycetes associated with three different substrates affected by forest wildfires
(2021-03-23)Background and aims – In late November and early December of 2016, forest wildfires occurred over portions of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (USA) and more than 4 000 ha were affected. Previous studies have shown ... -
Automatic Translation of Spanish Natural Language Commands to Control Robot Comands Based on LSTM Neural Network
(2019)In this paper, we propose a high level layer able to translate motion commands in natural spanish language to a formal intermediate representation called Robot Control Language (RCL). The layer was built by using the ... -

(2020-06)Se presenta un avance del inventario estructural de edificaciones del cantón de San José, el cual podrá utilizarse en evaluaciones de riesgo sísmico. Este consiste en una caracterización estructural y determinación de la ... -
Bases para la evaluación de la vulnerabilidad sísmica en estructuras existentes
(1991-07)Este trabajo describe los parámetros básicos que se han de tomar en cuenta tanto para desarrollar una metodología secuencial de evaluación como para la estimación de la vulnerabilidad en edificios existentes de concreto. ... -
Biogeographical assessment of myxomycete assemblages from Neotropical and Asian Palaeotropical forests
(2017-03-16)Aim Lowland/highland and Neotropical/Asian Palaeotropical assemblages of myxomycetes were compared to test the null hypothesis that neither species diversity nor species composition differs between the two ecoregions. ... -
