Decommissioning Disputes – The Sustainability Gap.

Karstic sources of water supply for large consumers in Southeastern Europe – sustainability, disputes and advantages

Southeastern Europe is known worldwide as classic karst terrain. In the Alpine orogenic belt the karstifi ed carbonate rocks are either dominant, as in the Dinarides, or widely distributed, as in the Carpathian-Balkans, Hellenides or Pindes. Concerning karstic groundwater resources, this region is by far the richest in all of Europe. Some areas, such as southern Montenegro, are characterized by...

Verbal Disputes

Is there a distinction between questions of fact and questions of language? Many philosophers have said no. But a version of the distinction is ubiquitous, in philosophy and elsewhere, in the notion of a verbal dispute. Intuitively, a dispute between two parties is verbal when the two parties agree on the relevant facts about a domain of concern, and just disagree about the language used to des...

Networks & disputes

Networked systems often consist of inter-dependent subsystems that are governed by locally determined heterogeneous preferences or policies. Examples include interdomain routing, peer-to-peer storage, and decentralised security systems. This dissertation introduces a notion called dispute — a cyclic structure that underlies the dependence and preferences of subsystems. Disputes may cause advers...

on the teacher-generated v.s. leaner-generated noticing-the-gap activities in language classes

abstract the purpose of this study is twofold: on the one hand, it is intended to see what kind of noticing-the –gap activity (teacher generated vs. learner generated) is more efficient in teaching l2 grammar in classroom language learning. on the other hand, it is an attempt to determine which approach of the noticing-the-gap- activity is more effective in the long- term retention of grammar...
