European winter weather is dominated by several low-frequency teleconnection patterns, the main ones being North Atlantic Oscillation, East Atlantic, Atlantic/Western Russia and Scandinavian patterns. We analyze century-long ERA-20C reanalysis ASF-20C seasonal hindcast datasets find that these patterns are subject to decadal variability fluctuations in predictive skill. Using indices for determ...

Preformulation studies regarding a physico-chemical evaluation of memantine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, are presented in this work. This characterization of memantine is pre-required for the formulation of a parenteral solution. The water solubility, the thermal behavior and the chemical stability in aqueous solution, depending on the pH, temperature, UV ...

We survey a number of results about rational Cherednik algebra representation theory and its connection to symplectic singularities and their resolutions. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). Primary 16G, 17B; Secondary 20C, 53D.

Nine pepper cultivars (Capsicum annuum L.) representing five pepper types were studied to determine water-loss rates, flaccidity, color, and disease development when stored at 8,14, or 20C for 14 days. Water-loss rate was markedly higher at 14C than at 8C, and was somewhat lower at 20C than at 14C. There were significant differences in waterloss rates between pepper cultivar with ‘NuMex R Naky’...

A recent paper in Geophysical Research Letters, ‘Solar influence on winter severity in central Europe’, by Sirocko et al (2012 Geophys. Res. Lett. 39 L16704) claims that ‘weak solar activity is empirically related to extremely cold winter conditions in Europe’ based on analyses of documentary evidence of freezing of the River Rhine in Germany and of the Reanalysis of the Twentieth Century (20C)...

A nitrogen-containing carbon (N-C) film was synthesized by pyrolysis of vapor phase polymerized polypyrrole (PPy). This carbon film exhibits excellent rate capability and cyclability as a lithium-ion battery anode. The reversible capacities are 908.4, 825.7, 664.0, 531.6, 415.5 and 325.9 mA h g(-1) at 1C, 2C, 5C, 10C, 20C and 40C, respectively.
