Exploring Tolerance Towards Corruption in the European Union Through Experienced Corruption, Perceived Corruption and Institutional Trust

Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 1279-1304, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Corruption is a major problem that undermines the foundations of democracy and reduces citizens' trust in institutions. However, even in the world's most advanced countries, citizens accept certain levels of corruption. This tolerance towards corruption (TC) reduces the impact of anti‐corruption actions and ends up giving a patina of normality

Rapid Keck Spectroscopy of Cataclysmic Variables [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 2004
Abstract We present an analysis of Rapid Keck Spectroscopy of the CVs AM Her (polar) and SS Cyg (dwarf nova). We decompose the spectra into constant and variable components and identify different types of variability in AM Her with different characteristic timescales.

Asian Precipitation Changes in the Past Millennium: Projection of Volcanic Forcing Onto Internal Mode

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Asian precipitation changes over multiple time scales have been extensively studied, yet the relative roles of external forcing and internal variability in shaping the large‐scale Asian precipitation pattern over the past millennium remain underexplored. Here, we demonstrate that the tripolar pattern of decadal precipitation variability across

NON-THERMAL EMISSION FROM CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES: IMPLICATIONS ON ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS

Acta Polytechnica, 2013
We review the lines of evidence that some cataclysmic variables (CVs) are the sources of non-thermal radiation. It was really observed in some dwarf novae in outburst, a novalike CV in the high state, an intermediate polar, polars, and classical novae ...

Characterization and Localization of Chemical Explosions and Lightning Flashes by a Flotilla of Stratospheric Balloons

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract On 3 August 2021, a flotilla of four Heliotrope solar hot air balloons was launched from central New Mexico (USA). The balloons, equipped with microbarometers, flew from sunrise to sunset at altitudes between 17 and 22 km. During the flight, eight chemical explosions ranging from 45 to 136 kg TNT equivalent and a thunderstorm occurred in the ...

Broad-Band Variability in Accreting Compact Objects

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2015
Cataclysmic variable stars are in many ways similar to X-ray binaries. Both types of systems possess an accretion disk, which in most cases can reach the surface (or event horizon) of the central compact object.

eROSITA selection of new period-bounce cataclysmic variables

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Between 40% and 80% of cataclysmic variables (CVs) are expected to have evolved past the period-minimum and contain a degenerate donor. However, observational surveys for CVs have only been able to detect a few of these highly evolved “period ...

SWSex Stars, Old Novae, and the Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2015
The population of cataclysmic variables with orbital periods right above the period gap are dominated by systems with extremely high mass transfer rates, the so-called SW Sextantis stars.

Eastern United States: Potential Range for Ecologically Based Coastal Defenses in 2100

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
These maps show where black mangroves can potentially thrive along the US east coast by the end of the 21st century under several climate scenarios. Similar work was done for oyster reefs and saltmarshes. ABSTRACT Eco‐defenses (mangroves, oyster reefs, and saltmarshes) are ecosystems that can help to mitigate the effects of natural hazards and erosion ...

Minute-Cadence Observations of the LAMOST Fields with the TMTS: IV—Catalog of Cataclysmic Variables from the First 3-yr Survey

Universe
The Tsinghua University–Ma Huateng Telescopes for Survey (TMTS) started to monitor the LAMOST plates in 2020, leading to the discovery of numerous short-period eclipsing binaries, peculiar pulsators, flare stars, and other variable objects.
