This article examines proposals for the reform of the relationship between internal security and state-society relations in Northern Ireland and finds a divergence from the usual liberal package of police reforms. These proposals embraced the politic... Read More about The logic of a justified hope: The dialectic of police reform in Northern Ireland.

Biomedical Engineering / Biomedizinische Technik, 52, 290--294. https://doi.org/10.1515/BMT.2007.049

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is becoming increasingly important in the study of foot biomechanics. Specific devices have been constructed to load and position the foot while the subject is lying supine in the scanner. The present study examines th...
