Climate Predictions: The Chaos and Complexity in Climate Models by D. T. Mihailović, G. Mimić, I. Arsenić

“…Their behavior and synchronization, when a perturbation is introduced in the system, as a function of the coupling parameter, the logistic parameter, and the parameter of exchange, were studied calculating the Lyapunov exponent under simulations with the closed contour of N=100 environmental interfaces. Finally, we have explored possible differences in complexities of two global and two regional climate models using their air temperature and precipitation output time series. …”

End-Group Evaluation of HEMA Initiated Poly(ε-caprolactone) Macromonomers via Enzymatic Ring-Opening Polymerization by N. Ugur Kaya, Y. Avcibasi Guvenilir

“…Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) results revealed that lower polydispersity along with number-average molecular weight of end-functionalized PCL macromonomers was obtained depending on higher initiator/monomer ratios, lower temperature (60°C), enzyme concentration (100 mg), and/or polymerization time (2 h). Furthermore, 0.1 HEMA/ε-caprolactone (CL) ratio had higher molecular weight than 0.5 HEMA/CL ratio, while keeping a close value of methacrylate transfer, total methacrylate end-groups, and lower polyester transfer.…”
