Overview: In Rechtsstreitigkeiten über standardessentielle Patente (SEP/FRAND-Streitigkeiten) kann es zu Parallelverfahren in unterschiedlichen Jurisdiktionen kommen. In jüngerer Vergangenheit haben Gerichte in China und in den Vereinigten Staaten Prozessführungsverbote (Anti-Suit Injunctions) gegen Patentverletzungsverfahren in anderen Jurisdiktionen erlassen. Deutsche Gerichte reagierten mit gegenläufigen Prozessführungsverboten (Anti-Anti-Suit Injunctions) zum Schutz der deutschen Patentverletzungsverfahren. Die Arbeit untersucht die Vereinbarkeit von Anti-Anti-Suit Injunctions mit deutsche

Overview: Covers the latest knowledge of cervical and thoracic spinal endoscopic surgery.Provides abundant illustrations and surgical videos.Written by expert spinal endoscopy surgeonsIn the past, the cervical and thoracic vertebrae were areas that were not well performed by spinal endoscopy. However, with the rapid development of spinal endoscopic surgery techniques and instruments, various kinds of spinal endoscopic approaches are currently performing and developing in the cervical and thoracic spine. This is the first book covering the latest knowledge of cervical and thoracic spinal endosc

Overview: This monograph is a slightly revised version of my PhD thesis [86], com­ pleted in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Edin­ burgh in June 1988, with an additional chapter summarising more recent developments. Some of the material has appeared in the form of papers [50,88]. The underlying theme of the monograph is the study of two classical problems: counting the elements of a finite set of combinatorial structures, and generating them uniformly at random. In their exact form, these prob­ lems appear to be intractable for many important structures, so interest has

The first volume principally treats families of the Early Angiosperms, Eudicots, Core Eudicots and Rosids, while the second concentrates on the

Overview: Given the significance of spiritual direction in modern Christianity, surprisingly little attention has been given to the tradition upon which today‘s spiritual direction is built. A long and interesting history does exist, though, as shown by Patricia Ranft in A Woman‘s Way . Ranft‘s insights shed light on the understanding society had of women as spiritual beings and on the position of women in a Christian society. This book delineates the history of spiritual direction for women and by women within the larger context of the history of Christian spirituality and its understanding o

Overview: Presenting of more than 50 different cases studies * Generous use of full-color photographs to show in detail the course of fundus changesPathologic myopia that is due to axial elongation causes thinning of the retina and choroid, especially in cases of posterior staphyloma. The result of this myopia is the development of various kinds of chorioretinal atrophy in the posterior pole, with a gradual progression of the atrophic changes extending over several decades. Until now, studies of atrophic lesions and their clinical course have been incomplete, and diagnostic standards and class

Overview: A major technological trend for large database systems has been the introduction of ever-larger mass storage systems. This allows computing centers and business data processing installations to maintain on line their program libraries, less frequently used data files, transaction logs and backup copies under unified system control. Tapes, disks and drums are classical examples of mass storage media. The more recent IBM 3851 Mass Storage Facility, part of the IBM 3850 Mass Storage System, represents a new direction in mass storage development, namely, it is two-dimensional. With the m
