Protected areas are an essential strategy in preserving natural resources. A central aspect of protected area management is to maintain and improve their relationship with surrounding communities given that local conflicts ...

In order to test the hypothesis that elevation may be an important factor accounting for the distribution of myxomycetes in tropical forests, this project was designed and conducted in Costa Rica. Two lower elevational ...

Considerando que Costa Rica estará sumamente expuesta a la amenaza de un clima cambiante, la respuesta al cambio climático no puede esperar. Ya la mayor variabilidad climática y el fenómeno El Niño-Oscilación del Sur ...

Reducing the pollution emission associated with oil combustion is gaining an increasing interest worldwide. Recently, Brown’s gas (HHO gas) has been introduced as an alternative clean source of energy. A system to generate ...

Definitely, robustness is an important feature that any control system must take into account, especially considering that the design is usually based on low-order linear models that represent the whole controlled process. ...

This paper presents a formulation for the inclusion of the second degree of freedom for MIMO system for decoupling purposes. The proposal is specially effective when combined with decentralized feedback controllers. Loop ...

Sawmill residues produced in wood processing of Pilon (Hyeronimaalchorneoides) and Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp) species, were used to fabricate pellets with experimental design equipment. Different manufacturing conditions ...

A análise numérica tem se tornado uma ferramenta essencial nas etapas do desenvolvimento de um projeto devido a sua capacidade de solução para fenômenos físicos descritos por leis de difícil solução analítica, economizando ...

The Moin Container Terminal (MCT) is a project under construction that represents one of the largest investments in Latin American port facilities. The first stage consists of a seven million cubic meter sand fill constructed ...

In this paper, a One-Degree-of-Freedom PI controller is optimized using the model reference tuning approach for a Second Order Inverse Response and Dead Time Process operating as a servo control. In addition, a graphic ...
