Trans-Atlantic Longitudes

Trans-Atlantic UDP and TCP network tests

A VLBI trans-Atlantic connection would greatly extend the resolution of capabilities of eVLBI. So far igrid 2005 and SC 2005 saw the first UKlight connection to the US via Chicago. We report on UDP and TCP network tests performed between Jodrell Bank Observatory, UK, and Haystack Observatory, USA, utilising the UKLight dedicated lightpath, provided by the ESLEA project, to the Starlight connect...

Magnetically Preferred Solar Longitudes: Reality?

The observed persistence of specific periodicities detected in time series associated with solar surface magnetic activity over several solar cycles has led to numerous papers supporting the existence of preferred longitudes. Recent analysis of the past 120 years of sunspot number data showed that no observed periodicity remained coherent for durations greater than two 11-year solar cycles. Her...

Reframing Regulatory Science: Trans-Atlantic Conflicts over GM Crops

– La science réglementaire a été recadrée afin d'évaluer les risques que compor-tent les cultures génétiquement modifiées sur le plan écologique tant aux Etats-Unis qu'en Europe. Alors que se déchaînent des conflits de nature réglementaire de part et d'autre de l'Atlantique, le maïs 'insecticide' Bt fait figure d'étude de cas dans le cadre de deux problèmes de portée générale: comment les opini...

A trans-Atlantic examination of haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus food habits.

The food habits of Melanogrammus aeglefinus were explored and contrasted across multiple north-eastern and north-western Atlantic Ocean ecosystems, using databases that span multiple decades. The results show that among all ecosystems, echinoderms are a consistent part of M. aeglefinus diet, but patterns emerge regarding where and when M. aeglefinus primarily eat fishes v. echinoderms. Melanogr...
