This essay examines three levels of challenges the new U.S. President Joe Biden must confront: those in global arena, that are pertinent for transatlantic relations and which relate specifically to German-American relations. Plotting steps all arenas will require coordination with partners engagement competitors. That triangle requires understanding how overlap, where they can complement each o...

This paper investigates the capital market relations between Euroland and the USA from 1990 until 2006. Formally based on the uncovered interest rate parity (UIP), backward recursive estimations establish a long-run equilibrium between European and US government bond yields. Since the mid-1990s though, cointegration can only be achieved additionally considering the exchange rate. The reason pro...

Colonial diazotrophic cyanobacteria of the genus Trichodesmium are thought to play a significant role in the input of new nitrogen to upper layers of the tropical and subtropical oceanic ecosystems that cover nearly half of Earth's surface. Here we describe results of a transatlantic survey in which a noninvasive underwater digital microscope (the video plankton recorder), was towed across the ...

* This paper is part of a project “US-EU Monetary Relations after the Introduction of the Euro” undertaken by Fred Bergsten, Institute for International Economics (IIE), Washington D.D., Daniel Gros, Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), Brussels and Niels Thygesen, EPRU. Financial support from the European Commission under the New Transatlantic Dialogue, and from the Danish National Resea...

“Different conceptions of privacy and free speech often lead to different transatlantic approaches to regulating the internet. Whereas a strong first amendment in the US often means the US regulators are less likely to circumscribe speech and expression in online forums, the EU’s strong principals-based approach to privacy and individual reputation often trumps individual rights to free speech....

A comparison of ancient DNA (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) and carbon and nitrogen stable isotope evidence suggests that stored cod provisions recovered from the wreck of the Tudor warship Mary Rose, which sank in the Solent, southern England, in 1545, had been caught in northern and transatlantic waters such as the northern North Sea and the fishing grounds of Iceland and Newfoundland. This...

Regulatory cooperation is far from new, and the transatlantic variety in particular has long been at the forefront of its development. Approaching regulatory cooperation as an effort solely to harmonize or mutually recognize existing rules risks foregoing learning opportunities that cooperation provides through variation across legal systems. With the need to adopt a dynamic approach to trade a...

Research on the genetics of cardiac disorders began at Nantes University Hospital in the mid-1990s, when Chief Cardiologist Professor Hervé Le Marec and I identified a new susceptibility locus for the Long QT syndrome. In 1998, the French Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) appointed me to join Professor Denis Escande’s laboratory in Nantes and further develop research on the gene...

In October 2003, sixteen boats set off from La Gomera in the Canary Islands headed for Barbados 4800 km distant. Each boat was manned by two oarsmen who were competing in the Transatlantic Challenge, an ocean rowing endurance event. This paper describes an optimization model developed for route planning in this event. It was used successfully by the Holiday Shoppe team to win the race in world ...
