This paper deals with the ethical debate concerning human stem cell research and the methods that are associated with it from a patent law perspective. It will focus on the patentability of human embryonic stem cells at the European Patent Office (EPO) and in Germany.
This paper provides a theoretical overview of the public-private partnerships for policy and concept development. We use a case study from Sweden of a road user charging development prject to explore institutional barriers to PPPs and to describe how a more informal co-operation not only brings added value to the project but also enables an ongoing innovation process which we hope will result in r

You have thus an excellent opportunity to get a glimpse of the background to the initiatives and actions of those at the centre of power. In my paper I will di
We consider differential Riccati equations (DREs). These equations arise in many areas and are very important within the field of optimal control. In particular, DREs provide the crucial link between the state and the optimal input in the solution of linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problems. For the approximation of the solutions to DREs we consider the recently introduced splitting methods, wit
This study takes its starting point in the questions of whether and how theology might serve as a faith-based peacebuilding resource. Based on an exploration of the textual process towards an international ecumenical declaration on just peace in the World Council of Churches, it suggests that theology can indeed serve as such a resource and it sketches how theology can make such a contribution.
