Evidences for a quasi 60-year North Atlantic Oscillation since 1700 and its meaning for global climate change

open access: yes, 2012
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) obtained using instrumental and documentary proxy predictors from Eurasia is found to be characterized by a quasi 60-year dominant oscillation since 1650.

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Integrated Reporting in the Public Sector: Theoretical Foundations and Determinants of Quality

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Integrated reporting (IR) has gained attention as the IFRS Foundation promotes its use through the International Integrated Reporting Council framework (IIRF). Public sector (PS) organizations, as key drivers of economic, social and environmental sustainability, are increasingly adopting IR to enhance transparency and accountability.

Energy Balancing of Electrochemical Alternatives to the Solvay Process

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
To overcome the CaCl2 and CO2 emissions custom to the conventional Solvay process in soda ash production, electrochemically based alternatives were investigated. In particular, the mass‐ and energy balances for chlor‐alkali electrolysis and bipolar electrodialysis‐based processes are discussed comprehensively in the presented work.

Optical Photometric Monitoring of the Blazar OT 355 and Local Standard Stars’ Calibration

open access: yesUniverse
OT 355 (4FGL J1734.3 + 3858) is a relatively rarely studied but highly variable, moderate-redshift (z = 0.975) flat-spectrum radio quasar (blazar). With this work, we aim to study its optical variability on different timescales, which can help us to ...

Neutrino Masses and Mixing Matrix from SU(1,1) Horizontal Symmetry

open access: yes, 2003
A new mechanism is proposed to explain neutrino masses and their mixing via SU(1,1) horizontal symmetry breaking. Based on this mechanism smallness of neutrino masses is naturally realized and inverted hierarchical spectrum with large mixing is given ...

The impact of ENSO and the NAO on extreme winter precipitation in North America in observations and regional climate models

open access: yesClimate Dynamics, 2017
The relationship between winter precipitation in North America and indices of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is evaluated using non-stationary generalized extreme value distributions with the indices as ...
