Effect of storage temperature on the stability of polyvalent antivenom produced in Costa Rica.
(1990)
The effect of storage temperature on the stability of the liquid polyvalent (crotaline) antivenom produced at the Instituto Clodomiro Picado, Costa Rica, was studied during a twelve-month period. The following parameters ...
Response of air surface temperature over Central America to oceanic climate variability indices.
(2002-12)
In this study were used 337 grid points (0.5 ° latitude x 0. 5° longitude), over Central America, from a monthly air surface temperature data set. The annual cycle, secular trend and decadal variability were removed and ...
Interannual variability of the midsummer drought in Central America and the connection with sea surface temperatures
(2016)
The midsummer drought (MSD) in Central America is characterised in order to create annual indexes representing the timing of its phases (start, minimum and end), and other features relevant for MSD forecasting such as the ...
Solar activity and climate in Central America
(2000)
Se analizaron los posibles efectos de la actividad solar en la temperatura superficial del aire y precipitación en Centro América. La correlación entre las series de manchas solares y las variables climáticas mencionadas ...
Landau theory and giant room-temperature barocaloric effect
(2017-10-17)
The structural phase transitions of MF3 (M = Al, Cr, V, Fe, Ti, Sc) metal trifluorides are studied within a simple Landau theory consisting of tilts of rigid MF6 octahedra associated with soft antiferrodistortive optic ...
Post-exercise rehydration: no change in diuresis from water ingested at different temperatures
(2010)
Aim: to assess the effect of water temperature on post-rehydration urine output and fluid retention
Methods: on three different days, one week apart, 11 physically active men (24±4 years old, 1.73±0.05 m and 70.2±9.0
kg) ...
Atmospheric forcing of cool subsurface water events in Bahía Culebra, Gulf of Papagayo, Costa Rica
(Revista Biología Tropical, 60 (2): 173-186, 2012-04)
Bahía Culebra, at Gulf of Papagayo on the north Pacific coast of Costa Rica, is an area of seasonal upwelling where more intense cooling events may occur during some boreal winter weeks mainly. To study these extreme cool ...
Variation in echolocation call frequencies in two species of free-tailed bats according to temperature and humidity
(2017)
Bats can actively adjust their echolocation signals to specific habitats and tasks, yet it is not known if bats also modify their calls to decrease atmospheric attenuation. Here the authors test the hypothesis that individuals ...
Detection and Attribution of Temperature Changes in the Mountainous Western United States
(2008-04-22)
Large changes in the hydrology of the western United States have been observed since the mid-twentieth century. These include a reduction in the amount of precipitation arriving as snow, a decline in snowpack at low and ...
Clima y temperatura sub-superficial del mar en Bahía Culebra, Golfo de Papagayo, Costa Rica
(Revista Biología Tropical, 60 (2): 159-171, 2012-04)
Bahía Culebra, Golfo de Papagayo, Costa Rica is a seasonal upwelling area. To determine the relationship of climate and the subsurface temperature variability at Bahía Culebra, we analyzed nine records of sea subsurface ...
