Building common ground: how facilitators bridge between diverging groups in multi-stakeholder dialogue by Grimm, J, Ruehle, RC, Reinecke, J

“…The German Partnership for Sustainable Textiles was launched in an initially hostile communicative environment, whereas the Fossil Free Sweden Initiative proceeded in a fertile communicative environment. We trace how the facilitators in these initiatives achieved common ground through three bridging strategies—communicative integration, temporal calibration, and process alignment—adapted to the communicative environments of these MSIs. …”

Hebban olla vogala: an eleventh-century link between Dutch and English literary history by Angerer, ML

“…While this is hard to trace due to the similarities between the two languages, Dutch emerges as another potential influence, alongside Anglo-Norman French, on the development of rhyming verse in English after the Norman Conquest. …”

Modulation of affinity of a marine pseudomonad for toluene and benzene by hydrocarbon exposure by Law, A.T., Button, D.K.

“…Trace (microgram liter-1) quantities of either toluene or benzene injected into an amino-acid limited continuous culture of Pseudomonas sp. strain T2 were utilized immediately with affinities of 2.6 and 6.8 liters g of cells-1 h-1, respectively, and yielded large amounts of organic products, carbon dioxide, and cells. …”

Single-nanowire fuse for ionization gas detection by Liu, Hai, Zhu, Wenhuan, Han, Yutong, Yang, Zhi, Huang, Yizhong

“…Different from the tip of the nanowire in the reported ionization gas sensors, the gaseous discharge current in this device flows towards the sidewall in the case of a trace amount of gas environment change. Technically, this discharge current brings about a sudden temperature rise followed by a fusion of the silicon nanowire. …”
