Profound changes in dealing with texts characterize the period since the middle of the 11th century. These changes were instrumental in advancing the scientification of ecclesiastical law. Although they have remained largely unnoticed, the biblical texts are not exempt from the methodological-historical turn in law. This study enters into this gap. Choosing dispute literature as an example, it shows the importance of the struggle for the correct understanding of the biblical texts for the scientification of ecclesiastical law on the one hand and of the Bible for the law of the church on the other hand. Moreover, in the dispute with and about the biblical texts, a turning away from custom as the central figure of thought of early medieval secular law is in the offing. Truth became the paradigm of a new age, exerting a crucial influence on the process of change of the church and its law.

Current developments in air pollution modelling are explored as a series of contributions from researchers at the forefront of their field. This newest contribution on air pollution modelling and its application is focused on local, urban, regional and intercontinental modelling; long term modelling and trend analysis; data assimilation and air quality forecasting; model assessment and evaluation; aerosol transformation. Additionally, this work also examines the relationship between air quality and human health and the effects of climate change on air quality.This Work is a collection of selected papers presented at the 35th International Technical Meeting on Air Pollution Modeling and its Application, held in Chania (Crete), Greece, Oct 3-7, 2016.The book is intended as reference material for students and professors interested in air pollution modelling at the graduate level as well as researchers and professionals involved in developing and utilizing air pollution models.
