Kolmogorov Complexity, Cosmic Background Radiation and Irreversibility

, 2003
We discuss the algorithmic information approach to the analysis of the observational data on the Universe. Kolmogorov complexity is proposed as a descriptor of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation maps.

Interstellar dust in the BOOMERanG maps [PDF]

, 2002
Interstellar dust (ISD) emission is present in the mm-wave maps obtained by the BOOMERanG experiment at intermediate and high Galactic latitudes. We find that, while being sub-dominant at the lower frequencies (90,150, 240 GHz), thermal emission from ISD

Farmers' Beliefs About Climate Action: Evidence From an Information Experiment

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmers' adoption of climate change mitigation practices is crucial for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from food production. One major source of these emissions is chemical fertilizer application. Introducing clover into grassland can mitigate emissions by reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.

Questing for Algebraic Mass Dimension One Spinor Fields [PDF]

, 2015
This work deals with new classes of spinors of mass dimension one in Minkowski spacetime. In order to accomplish it, the Lounesto classification scheme and the inversion theorem are going to be used.

Environmental Information or Social Norm? A Ladder Toward Environmentally Sustainable Food Choices

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural production and the food supply chain have a significant impact on the environment. To foster an environmentally sustainable food system, it is vital to change consumers' food choice patterns to be more environmentally sustainable.

Subdegree Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Signal from Multifrequency BOOMERanG observations [PDF]

, 2009
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect is the inverse Compton-scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons by hot electrons in the intervening gas throughout the universe.

Coresidence: How parental characteristics matter

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Coresidence in the parental home is known to depend on young adult characteristics and market conditions, but there is more limited knowledge on whether or how parental characteristics matter. We model the coresidence outcome as a multigenerational joint optimization decision and use Panel Study of Income Dynamics data to examine the ...

CMB and Cosmological Parameters: Current Status and Prospects [PDF]

, 2002
The last years have been an exciting period for the field of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) research. With recent CMB balloon-borne and ground-based experiments we are entering a new era of 'precision' cosmology that enables us to use the CMB ...

Revisiting International Political Leadership: Nordic Leadership in Informal Intergovernmental Climate Organisations

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing significance of informal intergovernmental organisations (IIGOs) in global politics necessitates a re‐evaluation of leadership dynamics. We develop a theory framework that enables us to explain why countries take on leadership roles in IIGOs, with a specific focus on climate politics.
