The chapter argues that language, which rests on the sharing of linguistic norms, honest information, and moral norms, evolved through a co-evolutionary process with a pivotal role for intersubjectivity. Mainstream evolutionary models, based only on individual-level and gene-level selection, are argued to be incapable to account for such sharing of care, values and information, thus implying the n

Nitrifiers are the slowest growing bacteria used in conventional biological wastewater treatment. Furthermore, their growth rate is seriously hampered by low temperature. As a result, the volume needed for nitrification dominates the volume of the biological reactors at a wastewater treatment plant. As a way of enhancing nitrification and reducing this volume, bioaugmentation can be used. Nitrifie

Background and Policy Context: Previous chapters in this book have explored several product-oriented policies, including mandatory laws and product energy labelling, and discussed the importance of an appropriate policy mix. In this chapter, we examine the effects of demand-side policies, with a focus on green public procurement (GPP). GPP has been defined as ‘a process whereby public authorities

Introduction: Product-oriented environmental law is an expanding, poly-thematic subsection of environmental law. First, an increasing number of policy instruments are being used at the international, European and national levels to regulate products, including mandatory performance standards, consumer subsidies, public procurement practices, product bans, taxes and charges and various kinds of man

Background: We report the outcomes of a prospective consecutive series of 267 total ankle replacements (TARs) using a new mobile bearing Rebalance® prosthesis. Methods: Between April 2011 and December 2018, 267 consecutive Rebalance® prostheses were implanted in 255 patients at 3 different centers. Estimated survival curves with 95% confidence intervals were produced with the Kaplan–Meier method.

This chapter uses the term adaption in the sense of how a regionally based, popular culture phenomenon has nurtured structural economic transformation. The chapter elaborates a critical examination of the comparative popularity of Nordic noir, asking whether the two long-running film and television crime franchises Wallander (Wallander, (1994–2016) and The Bridge (Bron/Broen, 2011–2018) have been

The accurate surface reconstruction of 3D liquid structures is an important aspect for the understanding ofspray formation and liquid breakups. In this article, an approach to image in 3D the surface of liquid structuresin sprays (such as ligaments, liquid sheets/cores and liquid blobs) is presented. The technique is named FringeProjection - Laser Induced Fluorescence (FP-LIF) which is used by ill
