TL;DR: A review of the advances in stratospheric aerosol research can be found in this article, with a focus on the agreement between in situ and space-based inferences of aerosol properties during volcanically quiescent periods.
Abstract: Interest in stratospheric aerosol and its role in climate have increased over the last decade due to the observed increase in stratospheric aerosol since 2000 and the potential for changes in the sulfur cycle induced by climate change. This review provides an overview about the advances in stratospheric aerosol research since the last comprehensive assessment of stratospheric aerosol was published in 2006. A crucial development since 2006 is the substantial improvement in the agreement between in situ and space-based inferences of stratospheric aerosol properties during volcanically quiescent periods. Furthermore, new measurement systems and techniques, both in situ and space based, have been developed for measuring physical aerosol properties with greater accuracy and for characterizing aerosol composition. However, these changes induce challenges to constructing a long-term stratospheric aerosol climatology. Currently, changes in stratospheric aerosol levels less than 20% cannot be confidently quantified. The volcanic signals tend to mask any nonvolcanically driven change, making them difficult to understand. While the role of carbonyl sulfide as a substantial and relatively constant source of stratospheric sulfur has been confirmed by new observations and model simulations, large uncertainties remain with respect to the contribution from anthropogenic sulfur dioxide emissions. New evidence has been provided that stratospheric aerosol can also contain small amounts of nonsulfate matter such as black carbon and organics. Chemistry-climate models have substantially increased in quantity and sophistication. In many models the implementation of stratospheric aerosol processes is coupled to radiation and/or stratospheric chemistry modules to account for relevant feedback processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a discourse approach to the study of legitimacy of governance beyond the democratic state, starting from the empirical question of how international organizations legitimate themselves beyond the traditional democratic state.

TL;DR: Given a fixed state description based on instantiated predicates, a general abstraction scheme is provided to automatically create admissible domain-independent memory-based heuristics for planning problems, where abstractions are found in factorizing the planning space.
Abstract: Heuristic search planning effectively finds solutions for large planning problems, but since the estimates are either not admissible or too weak, optimal solutions are found in rare cases only In contrast, heuristic pattern databases are known to significantly improve lower bound estimates for optimally solving challenging single-agent problems like the 24-Puzzle or Rubik’s Cube This paper studies the effect of pattern databases in the context of deterministic planning Given a fixed state description based on instantiated predicates, we provide a general abstraction scheme to automatically create admissible domain-independent memory-based heuristics for planning problems, where abstractions are found in factorizing the planning space We evaluate the impact of pattern database heuristics in A* and hill climbing algorithms for a collection of benchmark domains

TL;DR: It is concluded that Afro-Asian monsoonal rains did not cross the subtropical desert zone during the early to mid-Holocene and is best explained by enhancement and southward extension of rainfall from Mediterranean sources.
Abstract: Paleosalinity and terrigenous sediment input changes reconstructed on two sediment cores from the northernmost Red Sea were used to infer hydrological changes at the southern margin of the Mediterranean climate zone during the Holocene. Between approximately 9.25 and 7.25 thousand years ago, about 3 per thousand reduced surface water salinities and enhanced fluvial sediment input suggest substantially higher rainfall and freshwater runoff, which thereafter decreased to modern values. The northern Red Sea humid interval is best explained by enhancement and southward extension of rainfall from Mediterranean sources, possibly involving strengthened early-Holocene Arctic Oscillation patterns and a regional monsoon-type circulation induced by increased land-sea temperature contrasts. We conclude that Afro-Asian monsoonal rains did not cross the subtropical desert zone during the early to mid-Holocene.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of cooling and lubrication during the grinding process of a machined part has been investigated in the field of fluid dynamic processes in supply nozzles and in the grinding zone, thus offering the chance to minimize the amount of coolant in circulation.
