Goodman’s grue-bleen paradox relies on the claim that the predicate “green” is not simpler than the predicate “grue”, and that, for that reason, the choice between them is arbitrary. It is argued that this claim can only be made in a restricted model, in which functions have primitive names but particular values do not. In more natural models, which allow values to have proper names as well, th...

This paper examines the tensions of sustainable development in Seattle, Washington, a commonly recognised urban environmental leader. Drawing on the perspective of sustainability as a conflicted process, this research expected a negative relationship between gentrification and environmental justice when affluent residents outcompete less affluent ones for neighbourhoods with fewer environmental...

BACKGROUND One of the cardinal requirements for effective therapeutic management of tumors is the selective delivery of cancer drugs to the right site by ligand-decorated nanomedicines. Screening of 2 × 109 clone landscape phage library provides a reliable avenue for generating protein ligands specific for tumor cells. It was shown that selective phage proteins derived from landscape phage libr...

There is a large treatment gap for mental health care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with the majority of people with mental, neurological, and substance use (MNS) disorders receiving no or inadequate care. Health system factors are known to play a crucial role in determining the coverage and effectiveness of health service interventions, but the study of mental health systems in ...

The Novo Cruzeiro pegmatite field in Minas Gerais (Brazil), located between Téofilo Otoni and the Jequitinhonha River, belongs to areas of EBPP with tourmaline emerald occurrences. pegmatites show beside coloured tourmalines, Cr-rich black cogenetic Cr-bearing emerald. General crystallization conditions show, based on obtained data, important changes during final phase crystallisation which cau...

Emerald Ash Borer (EAB: Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) is an invasive species which was introduced to the North America around the year 2002. We assume that the temperature drops will significantly increase the maturation time of EAB. A mathematical model will be constructed to study the effects of temperature variations in the population densities of EAB. The outcome predictions of this study ...

Purpose – Recent research has highlighted the importance of individuals’ beliefs regarding the malleability or fixedness of negotiator characteristics as key determinants of negotiation processes and performance. In this chapter, we examine how these implicit negotiation beliefs affect negotiation at the team level. Approach – We explore the effects of implicit negotiation beliefs on team negot...
