Negative Thermal Expansion in Open Perovskites near the Precipice of Structural Stability
(2018)
Negative thermal expansion (NTE) describes the anomalous propensity of materials to shrink when heated. Since its discovery, the NTE effect has been found in a wide variety of materials with an array of magnetic, electronic ...
Quantum ferroelectric instabilities in superconducting SrTiO3
(2018)
We examine the effects of strain and cation substitution on the superconducting phase of polar semiconductors near a ferroelectric quantum phase transition with a
model that combines a strong coupling theory of ...
Chandler wobble: Stochastic and deterministic dynamics
(2016-09-18)
We propose a model of the Earth’s torqueless precession, the “Chandler wobble,” as a self-oscillation driven by positive feedback between the wobble and the centrifugal deformation of the portion of the Earth’s mass contained ...
Distribución espacial de impactos de eventos hidrometeorológicos en América Central
(2016)
América Central está expuesta a la ocurrencia de eventos hidrometeorológicos a lo largo del año y los impactos que estos pueden provocar van a estar mayormente localizados en áreas donde las variables tanto naturales como ...
Dosimeter arrangement for effective dose and isodose curves desterminations into craniofacial cavity
Disposición de dosímetros para determinaciones de curvas de dosis e isodosis efectivas en la cavidad craneofacial
(2023)
Tomographic dental imaging with cone beam computed tomography has developed so fast in Costa Rica, in the absence of investigations to determine the absorbed dose by the patients, we propose a TLD dosimeter array into RANDO ...
Tsunamis and Tsunami Hazards in Central America
(2000-02)
A tsunami catalogue for Central America is compiled containing 49 tsunamis for the
period 1539–1996, thirty seven of them are in the Pacific and twelve in the Caribbean. At the Caribbean side, 5 events are related with ...
Electronic structure of silicon-based nanostructures
(2007-08-30)
We have developed a unifying tight-binding Hamiltonian that can account for the electronic properties of recently proposed Si-based nanostructures, namely, Si graphene-like sheets and Si nanotubes. We considered the sp3s∗ ...
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 ...
Tropical precipitation anomalies and d‐excess evolution during El Niño 2014‐16
(2016)
The last 2014-16 El Niño event was among the three strongest episodes on record. El Niño considerably changes annual and seasonal precipitation across the tropics. Here, we present a unique stable isotope data set of daily ...
Comportamiento regular y caótico en órbitas geodésicas con momento de masa cuadrupolar
(2021)
En el estudio de órbitas alrededor de objetos compactos como por ejemplo agujeros negros, donde los efectos relativistas están presentes, se encuentran órbitas que presentan trayectorias caóticas. Estudiamos el movimiento ...
