[1] A new monthly volcanic forcing dataset is included in a coupled GCM for a more physically consistent treatment of the stratospheric sulfate aerosol history from explosive volcanism. The volcanic forcing is different from previous versions in that there is an individual evolution of the aerosol for each event. Thus the seasonal and latitudinal dependence of the volcanic aerosol can affect gl...

John Philip ‘Phil’ Grime developed fundamental theory in plant ecology that emerged from a lifetime of fieldwork and experimental studies the Sheffield region, South Yorkshire, UK. His approach was an unusual combination observation, experiment theory: he conducted detailed, intensive observations natural communities, alongside manipulation those communities simulated ‘microcosms’ service formu...

This paper applies Neural Network to predict WTI crude oil futures prices on basis of intraday minutely high frequency data. We looked into the recent market crash in April before Delivery day. The results indicate that could be misleading. More specifically, shows normal situations works well sample and out but it give predictions with opposite signs when there exists a such as one happened 20...

Plutarch and Heraclitus believed a certain passage in the 20th book of the Odyssey ("Theoclymenus's prophecy") to be a poetic description of a total solar eclipse. In the late 1920s, Schoch and Neugebauer computed that the solar eclipse of 16 April 1178 B.C.E. was total over the Ionian Islands and was the only suitable eclipse in more than a century to agree with classical estimates of the deca...
