From the introduction of the Euro up to the 2008 global financial crisis, macroeconomic imbalances widened among Member States. This divergence took the form of strong differences in the dynamics of unit labour costs. This paper asks why this happened. Is it the result of distortionary public spending, or the consequence of economic integration? To...

This paper presents a corpus-based study of recent change in the English way-construction, drawing on data from the 1830s to the 2000s. Semantic change in the distribution of the construction is characterized by means of a distributional semantic model, which captures semantic similarity between verbs through their co-occurrence frequency with othe...

The aim of this study was to select among lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast a potential β-galactosidase producer, based on bioprocess parameters. From the selected microorganism, different organic cheaper nitrogen sources (single and combined) with low cost for β-galactosidase production were evaluated. Lactobacillus reuteri B-14171 showed the h...

Increasing tree mortality from global change drivers such as drought and biotic infestations is a widespread phenomenon, including in the boreal zone where climate changes and feedbacks to the Earth system are relatively large. Despite the importance for science and management communities, our ability to forecast tree mortality at landscape to cont...
