The idea of using the enormous potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) not only for diagnostic but also for interventional purposes may seem obvious, but it took major efforts by engineers, physicists, and clinicians to come up with dedicated interventional techniques and scanners, and improvements are still ongoing. Since the inception of interventional MRI in the mid-1990s, the numbers of settings, techniques, and clinical applications have increased dramatically. This state of the art book covers all aspects of interventional MRI. The more technical contributions offer an overview of the fundamental ideas and concepts and present the available instrumentation. The richly illustrated clinical contributions, ranging from MRI-guided biopsies to completely MRI-controlled therapies in various body regions, provide detailed information on established and emerging applications and identify future trends and challenges.
Despite a decades-long debate, starting with the 'Tuna-Dolphin' disputes of the 1990s, questions on the status of national regulatory measures linked to processes and production methods in WTO law have yet remained unsolved. Likewise, labelling requirements relating to unincorporated aspects of a product's life cycle remain strongly contested. These ongoing disputes at the WTO as well as global social and environmental challenges related to economic activities show how topical and important the search for adequate answers still is. Processes and Production Methods (PPMs) in WTO Law identifies and comprehensively analyses the key legal problems concerning such measures, setting them in the context of the current debate and its economic and regulatory background. Christiane R. Conrad develops a new approach to this debate which draws on the objectives and established economic rationales of the WTO Agreements.
Unter Kaiser Menelik II. kam es im Fruhjahr 1905 zur Entsendung einer deutschen Delegation und zum Abschluss eines Freundschafts- und Handelsvertrages. Menelik II. suchte Schutz gegen drohende Ubergriffe europaischer Kolonialmachte. Durch die beiden Weltkriege wurden die diplomatischen Beziehungen unterbrochen, aber schon im Jahre 1954 kam Kaiser Haile Selassie I. nach Deutschland. In den 80er Jahren begann die Bundesrepublik sich von der alten Hallstein-Doktrien zu losen und besonders Athiopien, den Sitz der Afrikanischen Union, in ein neues System der Entwicklungspolitik zu integrieren. Die entstandenen politischen Schwierigkeiten konnten nach 1991 im Wesentlichen aberwunden werden. Under ...
