Impact of Frequency Heterogeneity on Mutually Synchronized Spatially Distributed 24 GHz PLLs by Christian Hoyer, Jens Wagner, Frank Ellinger

“…The results of this analysis show that there is a maximum detuning between free-running frequencies up to which synchronization is possible. Furthermore, this analysis indicates that detuning not only affects the range of time delays at which stable synchronized states emerge between PLL nodes, but also limits the allowable range of initial phase differences for stable synchronization. …”

Prediction of Convective Storms at Convection-Resolving 1 km Resolution over Continental United States with Radar Data Assimilation: An Example Case of 26 May 2008 and Precipitatio... by Ming Xue, Fanyou Kong, Kevin W. Thomas, Jidong Gao, Yunheng Wang, Keith Brewster, Kelvin K. Droegemeier

“…It successfully predicted an isolated severe-weather-producing storm nearly 24 hours into the forecast, which all ten members of the 4 km real time ensemble forecasts failed to predict. This case, together with all available forecasts from 2009 CAPS realtime forecasts, provides evidence of the value of both convection-resolving 1 km grid and radar data assimilation for severe weather prediction for up to 24 hours.…”

The European Central Bank: From a Price Stability Paradigm to a Multidimensional Stability Paradigm by Lucia Quaglia, Amy Verdun

“…Thus, the ECB embraced a “price stability” paradigm that prioritized inflation control. However, over time, policy learning in response to economic shocks (first and foremost, a series of consecutive financial and economic crises from 2008 onwards) and the internal organic evolution of the ECB have led to a shift of economic thinking at the Bank, which has also been reflected by its policy actions. …”

Comparative Bioremediation of Crude Oil-Amended Tropical Soil Microcosms by Natural Attenuation, Bioaugmentation, or Bioenrichment by Vanessa Marques Alvarez, Joana Montezano Marques, Elisa Korenblum, Lucy Seldin

“…Bioremediation is an efficient strategy for cleaning up sites contaminated with organic pollutants. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of monitored natural attenuation, bioenrichment, and bioaugmentation using a consortium of three actinomycetes strains in remediating two distinct typical Brazilian soils from the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes that were contaminated with crude oil, with or without the addition of NaCl. …”
