Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases
Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed condition in oncology, affecting around 1.23 million individuals per year, according to recent statistics. Of these patients, about 50% will develop liver metastases and approximately 20% will present a stage IV disease at diagnosis. These statistics make colorectal liver metastases (CLM) an issue of major importance in current oncology. The area of CLM is subject to great and continuous advances, as its pathophysiologic mechanisms are better understood and more therapeutic and surgical options are developed. Consequently, all professionals involved with the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of CLM should be kept up to date with the lat...

This report was prepared by a team led by Roberto Zagha, under the general direction of Gobind Nankani.
River Ice Breakup
The breakup of a river ice cover can be both fascinating and perilous, owing to ever-changing ice conditions and dynamic processes that sometimes lead to extreme flood events caused by ice jams. Though much progress has been made recently in the study of ice jams, less has been achieved on the more general, and more complex, problem of how to predict the entire breakup process, from the first ice movement to the last ice effect on river stage. This type of knowledge is essential to determining when and where ice jam threats may develop and when they may release and generate steep flood waves that can trigger ice runs and jamming further downstream. In turn, such understanding is invaluable t...
Handbook of Innovation Policy Impact
Innovation underpins competitiveness, is crucial to addressing societal challenges, and its support has become a major public policy goal. But what really works in innovation policy, and why? This Handbook, compiled by leading experts in the field, is the first comprehensive guide to understanding the logic and effects of innovation polices. The Handbook develops a conceptualisation and typology of innovation policies, presents meta-evaluations for 16 key innovation policy instruments and analyses evidence on policy-mix. For each policy instrument, underlying rationales and examples are presented, along with a critical analysis of the available impact evidence. Providing access to primary sources of impact analysis, the book offers an insightful assessment of innovation policy practice and its evaluation.
Competing for Global Innovation Leadership
Being successful and innovative today does not necessarily mean that one is also successful and innovative in the future. There are many examples in history where existing comparative advantages have been gambled away or simply disappeared whilst new players with new advantages gained ground. Against this background, Competing for Global Innovation Leadership: Innovation Systems and Innovation Policies in the USA, Europe and Asia compiles discussions on innovation systems and policies for a specific set of countries (Germany, USA, France, Japan, South Korea, China und India) and provides a complementary view of European innovation policy and Asia's innovation catch-up. Contributions come from scholars and researchers of different fields and disciplines. The volume provides insights into today's challenges for the selected countries and regions and the various dimensions of innovation policies. The articles in this book will allow a broader public to have a well-based understanding of the specific set of actors in the national innovation systems and innovation policies applied in each of the countries studied.
Germany’s Technological Performance
The research results presented in this book are part of the continuous reporting on the technological performance of the German economy. The indicators of technological performance show a high efficiency of the German innovation system in the short term. New knowledge is rapidly transferred into patents, innovative activities are growing independently of the business cycle, and German enterprises are well established on international markets. With respect to the medium and longer term, however, the expansion of the R&D-intensive sectors, R&D activities in general and start-ups do not seem to be strong enough, and the service sector lacks prominent features in international comparison. While there are potentials, they are not sufficiently being mobilised. The strength of the German innovation system lies in advanced technologies. But Germany is also the technological leader in some areas. Being a "fast follower" by quickly integrating new technologies in innovative products and processes should prove a successful strategy. Innovation policy should promote solutions in all parts of the economy and society.
