Groundwater is an increasingly important resource to human populations around the world, and the study and protection of groundwater is an essential part of hydrogeology - the subset of hydrology that concentrates on the subsurface. Environmental isotopes, naturally occurring nuclides in water and solutes, have become fundamental tools for tracing the recharge, history, and contamination of groundwater.
The notions of necessity and possibility, as well as the notion of
a possible world, are ubiquitous in philosophy. Nevertheless, these
notions remain controversial. It also remains controversial whether
metaphysics requires notions drawing distinctions which are finer
than those which can be drawn in terms of necessity and
possibility, such as the recently much-discussed notion of
grounding. In order to make progress on these debates, this book
develops a general framework for theorizing about such intensional
notions using the tools of higher-order logic. The Foundations of
Modality begins by motivating the use of higher-order logic, and
introduces a particularly simple form of higher-order logic.
Progress is made on well-trodden territory concerning modality and
possible worlds by considering first the question how fine
propositions are individuated. Peter Fritz uses both logical
results and philosophical arguments to motivate a relatively
coarse-grained individuation of propositions. Fritz shows that a
number of putative metaphysical notions are ruled out by this
theory of individuation. Furthermore, the theory allows the
controversial notion of (metaphysical) necessity to be delineated
as the broadest necessity, which applies just to the single
tautologous proposition. This book also vindicates appeals to
possible worlds: First, it shows that if anything plays the
theoretical role of possible worlds, then certain propositions do
so. Second, it argues that there are in fact the required
propositions playing the role of possible worlds; this is shown
using the notion of plural quantification over propositions in
higher-order logic.
Im vorliegenden Buch wird das noch junge Forschungsfeld Gastronomie
beleuchtet. Eingangs wird das Forschungsfeld eingegrenzt und
definiert. Darauf aufbauend werden innovative Forschungsprojekte im
Bereich Gastronomie vorgestellt. So werden beispielsweise die
kulinarischen Grundeinstellungen von Gasten der Wiener Gastronomie
analysiert oder die Umsetzung von Nachhaltigkeit in Grosskuchen
diskutiert. Weitere Beitrage beschaftigen sich mit der Abgrenzung
von Gastronomie und Culinary Tourism sowie dem praxisorientierten
Einsatz von Forschungsergebnissen in der Gastronomie.
