The Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) Agreement: Law, Science and Globalising Markets
The SPS Agreement is one of the most innovative and controversial aspects of the World Trade Organization (WTO). This agreement uses science as a benchmark for assessing the legality of Member State regulation and has, in high profile cases such as EC Hormones and EC Biotech, been used to condemn regulatory measures as unlawful. The agreement, and the institutions which develop and apply it, walk a precarious middle line between trade and public health/environmental protection. This lecture will
Fair Health: Health Inequities Within and Between Countries - A Global Challenge
The 20th century has seen impressive gains in health and life expectancy in many parts of the world – but these improvements are unequally distributed. In every country, poor people and those from socially disadvantaged groups get sicker and die sooner than people in more privileged social positions. Not only is there a gap in health between the best-off and the worst-off in society, there is a gradient in health running between them. This gradient can be linked clearly to social and economic

On 10 June, Jacqueline Fox delivered a special seminar 'What to Expect in United States Health Care Reform'. United States healthcare reform promises some substantial changes. Professor Fox speaks about the new healthcare law, as well as some of the major challenges that it faces during its implementation. Some degree of political will is required to sustain the vision of the law, and areas most vulnerable are highlighted, particularly regulation of industry and reimbursement cost controls. Foll
Scaling relations from scale model experiments on equilibrium accretionary beach profiles
Movable bed, scale model experiments were conducted at three length scales, 1/8.5, 1/10 and 1/11, in a 90 ft-long wave tank to study scale effect and equilibrium profile characteristics under sinusoidal, accreting wave action. Geometric similarity, deep water wave steepness, wave Froude number, densimetric Froude number, and particle Reynolds number were preserved by selecting the same sediment and fluid in the model and prototype. Wave height was measured with parallel-wire resistance gauges wh
Grammar Lesson 14: Absence of Direct Object Pronouns, Mobile Homes The Schrimpfs - A Marquette University Legacy Family Tim Keane: The world looks to America for entrepreneurship, Marquette University
OK, so you are driving down the freeway and you see a semi going 70 mph and there is a mobile home being pulled along. Well, yes, I do see why
In 1989, Bob and Jo Schrimpf established an endowed scholarship in the family's name to help physical therapy students in the College of Health Sciences. For many, scholarship aid is the critical difference between attending Marquette or another school -- or not attending college at all. You can help make sure that Marquette can be an accessible first choice school.
Tim Keane, director of Marquette's Kohler Center for Entrepreneurship and the Golden Angels Network, discusses the importance of entrepreneurship to the American economy, particularly in sectors of increasing growth like health care, personal computing and energy technology.
