The time series of total solar irradiance (TSI) satellite observations since 1978 provided by ACRIM and PMOD TSI composites are studied. We find empirical evidence for planetary-induced forcing and modulation of solar activity. Power spectra and direct data pattern analysis reveal a clear signature of the 1.09-year Earth-Jupiter conjunction cycle, in particular during solar cycle 23 maximum. Th...

This paper presents an analysis of Liberia’s membership to date in the Africa Coast to Europe (ACE) submarine cable consortium and its initial governance structures, challenges and successes. A connection to the ACE cable will offer Liberia its first terrestrial international Internet gateway and is seen as a path to increasing ICT access and use in that country. This study employs a four-point...

In anticipation of new observational results for Jupiter’s axial moment of inertia and gravitational zonal harmonic coefficients from the forthcoming Juno orbiter, we present a number of preliminary Jupiter interior models. We combine results from ab initio computer simulations of hydrogen-helium mixtures, including immiscibility calculations, with a new nonperturbative calculation of Jupiter’s...

Three reviews of radio emission from Jupiter have appeared recently (1, 2, 3) and at least one more is currently in press. The present review primarily covers work since 1961. It would be not too strong to suggest that explanations of Jupiter's emission now are in the second generation, with most observational phenomena fairly well established. The salient observed features are not widely known...
