Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Nonlinear Gradient Fields
Within the past few decades MRI has become one of the most important imaging modalities in medicine. For a reliable diagnosis of pathologies further technological improvements are of primary importance. This study deals with a radically new approach of image encoding. Gradient linearity has ever since been an unquestioned technological design criterion. With the advent of parallel imaging, this approach may be questioned, making way of much a more flexible gradient hardware that uses encoding fields with an arbitrary geometry. The theoretical basis of this new imaging modality – PatLoc imaging – are comprehensively presented, suitable image reconstruction algorithms are developed for a variety of imaging sequences and imaging results – including in vivo data – are explored based on novel hardware designs.
Safety and Biological Effects in MRI
In vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has evolved into a versatile and critical, if not ‘gold standard’, imaging tool with applications ranging from the physical sciences to the clinical ‘-ology’. In addition, there is a vast amount of accumulated but unpublished inside knowledge on what is needed to perform a safe, in vivo MRI. The goal of this comprehensive text, written by an outstanding group of world experts, is to present information about the effect of the MRI environment on the human body, and tools and methods to quantify such effects. By presenting such information all in one place, the expectation is that this book will help everyone interested in the Safety and Biologi...

Avonturen van Miguel Littin
In De avonturen van Miguel Littín laat Gabriel García Márquez de beroemde Chileense filmer Miguel Littín berichten over zijn poging om een oude droom te verwezenlijken. Twaalf jaar na de militaire coup in Chili, waarbij Allende werd vermoord en Pinochet aan de macht kwam, Littín zelf ternauwernood aan gevangenneming en een mogelijke executie ontsnapte, reist hij clandestien naar zijn geboorteland om een film op te nemen. Het wordt een grootscheepse operatie met drie filmploegen, die zelfs tot het paleis van de dictator doordringen. In een enerverend kat-en-muisspel wordt de militaire politie telkens weer bij de neus genomen.
Cinematic Homecomings
The history of cinema charts multiple histories of exile. From the German émigrés in 1930s Hollywood to today's Iranian filmmakers in Europe and the United States, these histories continue to exert a profound influence on the evolution of cinematic narratives and aesthetics. But while the effect of exile and diaspora on film practice has been fruitfully explored from both historical and contemporary perspectives, the issues raised by return, whether literal or metaphorical, have yet to be fully considered. Cinematic Homecomings expands upon existing studies of transnational cinema by addressing the questions raised by reverse migration and the return home in a variety of historical and national contexts, from postcolonialism to post-Communism. By looking beyond exile, the contributors offer a multidirectional perspective on the relationship between migration, mobility, and transnational cinema. 'Narratives of return' are among the most popular themes of the contemporary cinema of countries ranging from Morocco to Cuba to the Soviet Union. This speaks to both the sociocultural reality of reverse migration and to its significance on the imagination of the nation.
Tell Mother I'm in Paradise
"Anna Maria Gasteazoro (1950-1993) was a Salvadoran opposition leader and renowned prisoner of conscience. In her memoirs, Tell Mother I'm in Paradise, she recounts her trajectory from a privileged Catholic upbringing in El Salvador, with stints at school abroad and early jobs, to her increasing commitment to political work after witnessing the violence and corpses in the streets of San Salvador early in the civil war, to clandestine organizing against the brutal military junta. Her inspiring and, at times, dramatic story culminates in three years as a political prisoner of conscience and then release and exile to Mexico. Readers get a sense of the upper-class milieu of well-connected parent...
México en la estética del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano
Este libro brinda elementos útiles para reconocer a México como una pieza clave para la comprensión de la historia del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano. La potencialidad de algunas importantes películas realizadas en México en el periodo 1970-1980 se explica tras el reconocimiento de puentes con el movimiento regional, y de una estética potenciadora de una dimensión utópica.
