TRILATERALISM AND ISSUES OF COOPERATION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES, JAPAN AND WESTERN EUROPE by A. I. Pechalova

“…The article presents an overview of factors that encourage closer ties between the regions as well as an analysis of trends that may potentially cause the collapse of the trilateral format.The factors that have initially created trilateralism include common political approaches, a shared economic demand and a strong need for energy security. Though these components remain an important part of trilateral relations; the range of factors that affect trilateralism is much wider today than four decades ago.Risks that may lead to the disruption of trilateralism are identified. …”

Characterizing Extreme Geomagnetic Storms Using Extreme Value Analysis: A Discussion on the Representativeness of Short Data Sets by G. Bernoux, V. Maget

“…The second reason is that the choice of the correct threshold (when using a Peaks Over Threshold approach) is made difficult with a short data set and leads to inaccurate results. This is a strong result as for accurate estimation of the induced effects of extreme events in radiation belts, we may only rely on short flux data sets from one or another mission (mostly shorter than 20 years).…”
