La cooperación territorial es un fenómeno generalizado en Europa que presenta numerosas y diferentes manifestaciones entre las que figura la denominada cooperación transfronteriza. Desde finales de la década de los ochenta, la Unión Europea ha asumido el protagonismo en esta materia, desplazando al Consejo de Europa. Hoy, fruto del impulso histórico de ambas organizaciones no existe frontera europea en la que no tengan lugar actividades cooperativas de este tipo, cuyos perfiles (actores, objetivos, institucionalización, resultados, etc.) son muy diversos. Las fronteras peninsulares no son una excepción. Tanto en la frontera hispano-francesa como la hispano-portuguesa se desarrollan experiencias cooperativas que, en algún caso, alcanzan ya el cuarto de siglo. Precisamente esta obra - resultado del I Seminario Internacional sobre cooperación transfroteriza celebrado en Allariz en 2007 y organizado por el Centro de Excelencia Jean Monnet de la Universidad de Vigo - recoge seis contribuciones que examinan esta materia sirviéndose del estudio de tres casos: Euroregión Pirineos-Mediterráneo, Euskadi-Anquitania y Galicia-Norte de Portugal.
The concepts of power and identity are vital to many areas of social research. In this edited collection, a prominent set of contributors explore the double relationship between power and group identity, focusing on two complementary lines of enquiry: In what ways can the powerful dictate the identities of the powerless? How can the powerless redefine their identity to challenge the powerful? Each chapter is written by leading authorities in the field, and investigates a particular aspect of the interplay of identity and power via a range of empirical contexts such as colonialism, nationalism, collective action, and electoral politics. The case studies include early modern Goa under Portugue...
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as an important innovative treatment for various primary and metastatic cancers. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the physical/technological, biological, and clinical aspects of SBRT. It will serve as a detailed resource for this rapidly developing treatment modality. The organ sites covered include lung, liver, spine, pancreas, prostate, adrenal, head and neck, and female reproductive tract. Retrospective studies and prospective clinical trials on SBRT for various organ sites from around the world are examined, and toxicities and normal tissue constraints are discussed. This book features unique insights from world-renowned experts in SBRT from North America, Asia, and Europe. It will be necessary reading for radiation oncologists, radiation oncology residents and fellows, medical physicists, medical physics residents, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, and cancer scientists.
During recent years our enthusiasm for this field has continually increased. This book presents expert contributions describing the fundamental principles for the widespread use of radiative decay engineering in the biological sciences and nanotechnology.

Modern medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies are so complex and computer driven that it is difficult for physicians and technologists to know exactly what is happening at the point-of-care. Medical physicists responsible for filling this gap in knowledge must stay abreast of the latest advances at the intersection of medical imaging an
Heredity, either alone or in combination with environmental factors, is the most prominent underlying cause of hearing impairment. Thanks in large part to positional cloning techniques, scientists have identified nearly 100 gene loci implicated in hearing loss since 1995-an extraordinarily rapid rate of gene identification. Genetic Hearing Loss branches into syndromic and nonsyndromic categorical directions in its coverage of the genetics behind hearing loss. Authored by 60 internationally recognized researchers, the book describes the normal development of the ear, updates the classification and epidemiology of hearing loss, and surveys the usage of audiometric tests and diagnostic medical examinations.
