Un saludo a todos. Los felicito por este portal. Lo encontré por accidente y me alegra que exista una comunidad de científicos boricuas en la Internet. Me llamó la atención el que no incluyen en el listado de ciencias ni a las Matemáticas ni a las Ciencias de Computadoras. Solamente pude marcar "Public Health" porque recientemente he estado dando un curso de Informática Médica en UPR-Cayey. ¿Podrían considerar añadir esas ramas?

The Coki Team of the University of Puerto Rico in Mayagüez is still celebrating their victory last week in the Chem-E-Car Competition, in San Francisco, California. Coki is a car, the size of a shoe box, that uses a fuel cell with hydrogen and oxygen and is capable of running between 50-100 feet in less than 2 minutes with a load of no more that 500 grams. This year the design was a school bus.

Quick tsunami prediction

A new database has been created to predict the altitude of potential Tsunamis along the Purto Rican coast. These data has been generated using computer simulations, and together with information collected from DART buoys, allows scientists to estimate where the event was originated and its magnitude. These tsunami simulations are done using 3 nested computational nets that are made at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez, and allow to simulate the propagation and flooding of the tsunami in less than 10 minutes for several municipalities of the Island.

Tsunami detectors close to the Puerto Rican coast

After December 2004 catastrophic tsunami, the United Status Congress assigned $37 million to the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA), to improve the tsunami detection system in various oceans and seas around the world, including the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea. This project includes buoys called DART (Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis) capable of detecting tsunamis while they propagate in the deep sea, five of which have already been installed in the Atlantic and the Caribbean. The closest buoys to the Island will be no more than 30 minutes of propagation time, which once the buoy detects a tsunami, will allow us enough time to evacuate coastal areas. The Center of Coastal Risks of the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez is in charge of part of this project, that will be implemented in Mayaguez and the San Juan area first.

Botanical treasure of the 1900

The Puerto Rican flora is the title of a magnificent scientific-artistic project done in the Island at the beginning of the XX century. This project was done under the direction of the married couple of botanists Nathaniel and Elizabeth Britton in collaboration with painter Frances Horne. This collection, available at New York’s Botanic Garden, contains information of the use in Puerto Rico of each of the specimens, and was put together by Nilda González and José García Luiña, from the University of Puerto Rico’s Agricultural Extension Service.

Five years ago a group of neighbors in the municipality of Barranquitas formed the Committee Pro Canyon Las Bocas Natural Reserve, to plead for the conservation of this natural system that comprises almost 1,000 acres and is a sanctuary for flora and fauna species.
