Improving Transparency in IDIQ Contracts: A Comparison of Common Procurement Issues Affecting Economies Across the Atlantic and Suggested Solutions [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Expansions in the size and scope of public procurement across the Atlantic have increased calls for accountability of democratic governments. Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts by their very nature are less transparent but serve as major tools of public procurement in both the European and American economies. This paper utilizes a cross-

The impact of trade and markets on Chilean Atlantic salmon farming
Aquaculture International, 2019 Since the 1980s, aquaculture has developed rapidly around the world, outpacing all other sources of animal protein production. Chile is the largest producer in South America, with an export-driven aquaculture industry.

Global Climate network evolves with North Atlantic Oscillation phases: Coupling to Southern Pacific Ocean [PDF]
, 2013 We construct a network from climate records of atmospheric temperature at surface level, at different geographical sites in the globe, using reanalysis data from years 1948-2010. We find that the network correlates with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), both locally in the north Atlantic, and through coupling to the southern Pacific Ocean.

Mapping the uncertainty of 19th century West African slave origins using a Markov decision process model [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The advent of modern computers has added an increased emphasis on channeling computational power and statistical methods into digital humanities. Including increased statistical rigor in history poses unique challenges due to the inherent uncertainties of word-of-mouth and poorly recorded data.

An objective change point analysis of landfalling historical Atlantic hurricane numbers [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 In previous work we have analysed the Atlantic basin hurricane number time-series to identify decadal time-scale change points. We now repeat the analysis but for US landfalling hurricanes. The results are very different.

Deep ocean early warning signals of an Atlantic MOC collapse [PDF]
, 2014 The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) is a crucial part of the climate system because of its associated northward heat transport. The present-day MOC is sensitive to freshwater anomalies and may collapse to a state with a strongly reduced northward heat transport.

Is there a hot spot of sea-level rise acceleration along the mid-Atlantic United States? A Gaussian process decomposition of tide gauge records [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 To test a hypothesized faster-than-global sea-level acceleration along the mid-Atlantic United States, I construct a Gaussian process model that decomposes tide gauge data into short-term variability and longer-term trends, and into globally-coherent, regionally-coherent and local components.
