Moreover, Panama has been employed along this paper as a reference, its pattern of growth, diversification and innovation in energy sector, support its performance throughout the developed analysis. By means of a multi-criteria analysis of the discussed topics, holistic research and prospective vision, which conform the methodological strategy followed in this paper, it is provided meaningful results that must not go unnoticed: the Northern Triangle of Central America is projected as a favorable region to expedite its participation in carbon markets. While this statement should not be taken in some very ruthless manner, it has to be considered as a medium-long term option to accelerate decision-making in favor of the region.","PeriodicalId":341701,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Central America and Panama Student Conference (CONESCAPAN)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122870805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The multiplication is accelerated by decreasing the number of sums to be performed. This new approach provides properties that improve arithmetic calculations.","PeriodicalId":341701,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Central America and Panama Student Conference (CONESCAPAN)","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124459304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of this research is to produce a high-quality and low-cost option for radiation detection in delicate environments, such as hospitals, and hazardous wastes storage centers. So that accidents regarding radiation can be prevented. At the end of the day, a functional prototype was built and tested, successfully demonstrating the proof of concept and surpassing expected performance and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":341701,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Central America and Panama Student Conference (CONESCAPAN)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122115936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
