Análisis fisicoquímico no invasivo de colgantes hachoides de piedras verdes de las colecciones arqueológicas del Museo Nacional de Costa Rica y del Museo del Jade y de la Cultura Precolombina
(2021-05)
Las sociedades precolombinas de la actual Costa Rica formaron uno de los principales
centros de producción de artefactos de jade y piedras verdes de Mesoamérica, los
colgantes hachoides fabricados en el actual territorio ...
Expanding the Trichoderma harzianum species complex: Three new species from Argentine natural and cultivated ecosystems
(2021-06-22)
A study was performed on a collection of 84 isolates from decaying plant tissues and soils in
Argentina previously identified as Trichoderma harzianum. Based on multiple phenotypic characters
and multilocus phylogenetic ...
Light Reflection by Cuticles of Chrysina Jewel Scarabs: Optical Measurements, Morphology Characterization, and Theoretical Modeling
(2016)
Cuticles of some Chrysina scarabs are characterized by flat, graded, and twisted structures of nanosized chitin fibrils. As inferred from SEM images, each species has its own spatial period or pitch P which is dependent ...
The geomicrobiology of iron, cobalt, nickel and manganese in lateritic tropical soils from the Santa Elena Peninsula, Costa Rica
(2019)
There is an increasing interest in the biogeochemistry of metals, like cobalt, fuelled by the growing need for batteries and other high technology products. Bioprocessing of Co has been proposed to improve its recovery ...
Manganese and cobalt redox cycling in laterites; Biogeochemical and bioprocessing implications
(2020)
Cobalt is essential for the modern technology that underpins the decarbonisation of our economies, but its supply is limited leading to its designation as a critical metal. Cobalt biogeochemistry is poorly understood, yet ...
Environmental Chemistry Group and Environmental Mineralogy Group Hold First Joint Meeting
(2018-08-01)
Este blog describe las actividades académicas de los integrantes del Geomicro Group de la University of Manchester, Reino Unido, liderado por el Prof. Jonathan Lloyd. Esta publicación en particular, fue escrita por Agustín ...
Neutral organic redox pairs based on sterically hindered hydroquinone/benzoquinone derivatives for dye-sensitized solar cells
(2018-06)
Substituted derivatives of hydroquinone/benzoquinone were studied as organic redox mediators in the electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Thus, di-tert-butylhydroquinone (DTHQ), thymohydroquinone (ThymHQ) and ...
Rapid Determination of the ‘Legal Highs’ 4-MMC and 4-MEC by Spectroelectrochemistry: Simultaneous Cyclic Voltammetry and In Situ Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
(2021-12-31)
The synthetic cathinones mephedrone (4-MMC) and 4-methylethcathinone (4-MEC) are
two designer drugs that represent the rise and fall effect of this drug category within the stimulants
market and are still available in ...
Dye‐sensitized Devices: Photovoltaic and Photoelectrolytic Applications
(2018-11)
Dye‐sensitized approach along with stability and surface robustness in titanium dioxide (TiO2) against photocorrosion and degradation has been widely studied and applied in several important applications. This chapter ...
Richness and metallo-tolerance of cultivable fungi recovered from three high altitude glaciers from Citlaltépetl and Iztaccíhuatl volcanoes (Mexico)
(2020)
In Mexico little is known about high-altitude glacial psychrotolerant or psychrophilic fungal species, with most glacial fungi isolated from polar environments or Alpine glaciers. It has been documented that some of these ...
