Surface to Groundwater Interactions beneath the City of Berlin: Results from 3D Models by Maximilian Frick, Magdalena Scheck-Wenderoth, Michael Schneider, Mauro Cacace

“…Additionally, we resolve surface water body geometries with newly available data. To assess how surface water bodies interact with the deeper groundwater at different depths in the model domain, the influence of different hydraulic boundary conditions is quantified, which indicates that the coupling of surface water bodies and groundwater strongly modifies predicted groundwater circulation. …”

A Study of the Electronic Absorption and Emission Spectra of DBDMA Dye: Solvent Effect, Energy Transfer, and Fluorescence Quenching by Sadeq M. Al-Hazmy, Jameelah Al-Harby, Mohammed Hassan, Sabri Messaoudi, Ibrahim A. Alhagri, Ahmed N. Alhakimi

“…The rigidity of the DBDMA molecule is the main reason for the photochemical stability and the absence of a considerable shift as a result of the change in the polarity of the solvents. Geometries of ground and excited states were optimized using the density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), respectively. …”

The Role of Great Britain in Forming of EU’s Foreign and Security Policy in the Context of Leading Theories of Eurointegration by A. V. Groubinko

“…Such approaches are correspond to the model of selective-sectoral integration or «Europe a la carte» ofThatcherist standards, which in the process of realization under influence of objective (mainly external) factors evolved to practical embodiment of such more soft models of flexible integration, as «multi-speed integration» and «Europe of variable geometries». The noted approaches to CFSP allow government on the different historical stages to have retentive or stimulant influence on the integrational processes.…”
