This book investigates whether national courts could and should import innovative solutions from abroad in the adjudication of complex legal disputes.

This book investigates whether national courts could and should import innovative solutions from abroad in the adjudication of complex legal disputes. Special attention is paid to the concept of “legally relevant damage” and its importance in overcoming the deadlock created by the category of “pure economic loss” in the Portuguese and German tort law systems.

The guideline of the book is precisely the mathematical model of mechanics. Starting from the particle (the simplest problem) and finishing with the study of dynamical systems, the book covers a wide number of problems.
This volume deals with discrete mechanical systems for particles in a number greater than the unity, as well as with continuous mechanical systems.

This thesis uses the tools of quantum information science to uncover fascinating new insights about the intersection of quantum theory and relativity. It is divided into three self-contained parts, the first of which employs detector models to investigate how the information content of quantum fields depends on spacetime curvature and global spacetime topology.
