Professors of German Universities (e.g. Cologne, Heidelberg) in Italy (1400-1550) and the Repertorium Academicum Germanicum (RAG)

The RAG’s task is to collect biographical and social data on those Theologians, Jurists, Physicians, and Masters of Arts, who studied at a university between 1250 and 1550. The information is entered into a prosopographic database that will finally cover the entire territory of the Holy Roman Empire. Non-graduated noble visitors of universities are also taken into account. The RAG, which in the end will be a “who is who” of the scholars of the Old Empire, offers divers new and interdisciplinary perspectives due to its vast collection of data. Qualitative and quantitative statements on the intellectual elite of the Empire, their European networks, as well as institutional and territorial comparisons will be possible. Thus the scholars' role in pre-modern society can be described on a firm empirical basis and explained within the framework of modern educational research, with special reference to social, cultural, and scientific history. Up to 50,000 scholars are to be expected.

Continuous Sunitinib treatment in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: a Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK) and Swiss Association for the Study of the Liver (SASL) multicenter phase II trial (SAKK 77/06)

Geografie: Wissen und verstehen - ein Handbuch für die Sekundarstufe II

Als einziges Fach behandelt die Geografie natur- und sozialwissenschaftliche Themen übergreifend und fördert somit eine bewusste Auseinandersetzung mit den Wechselwirkungen zwischen Umwelt, Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft. Dieses Handbuch für den Geografieunterricht behandelt alle wichtigen Themen für das räumliche Verständnis lokaler und globaler Entwicklungen und Probleme; es ist in vielen Mittelschulen der Schweiz zum Standardlehrmittel geworden. Als Handbuch liefert das Buch die fachlichen Grundlagen für die Geografie an Mittelschulen und lässt sich vielfältig in verschiedenen Unterrichtsformen einsetzen. Es eignet sich auch für das Selbststudium und als Nachschlagewerk.
