Phase synchronization of the sunspot cycle and a fast component of the SIM have been found and confirmed with statistical significance in three epochs (1727-1757, 1802-1832 and 1863-1922) of the entire 1700-1997 record. This result can be considered as a quantitative support for the hypothesis that there is a weak interaction of gravity and solar activity.}, language = {en} } @article{KurthsSchwarz2001, author = {Kurths, J{\"u}rgen and Schwarz, Udo}, title = {Nichtlineare Wissenschaften - neue Paradigmen und Konzepte}, issn = {0177- 3674}, year = {2001}, abstract = {In den letzten 2 Jahrzehnten des 20.

For this purpose, we develop a conceptual model including memory effects to predict the runoff signal using the precipitation data as input. An enhanced variant of the model also includes air temperature as input variable. We show in terms of correlation functions that this model describes main dynamical properties of the runoff, especially the delay between rain event and runoff response as the annual persistence in the runoff data.}, language = {en} } @article{SitzSchwarzKurthsetal.2001, author = {Sitz, Andre and Schwarz, Udo and Kurths, J{\"u}rgen and Maus, Doris and Wiese, Michael and Warnecke, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Signatures of acoustic emission signals generated during high speed cutting}, year = {2001}, abstract = {Acoustic emission signals generated during high speed cutting of steel are investigated.
