A 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-CEES) gas sensor based on WO 3 /graphite nanocomposite with high selectivity and fast response-recovery properties was successfully developed.

Professor Cees van der Vleuten has been awarded the 2012 Karolinska Insitutet Prize for Research in Medical Education for his research in evaluation and assessment of medical competences.

Telematics applications play an essential role in the dissemination of environmental information and environmental measures. This contribution gives an overview of the applications of environment telematics in Europe as a result of two projects which were performed on an international level. The analysis covers the situation in EC countries as well as in CEE countries, with an emphasis on regio...

Does the use of in-stream structures and woody debris increase the abundance of salmonids? CEE review 05-006 (SR12).

The current status of the agricultural sector in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union is described, in the context of reforms undertaken during the transition from a centrally planned economy to a market-based one. Sectoral performance is analyzed, focussing especially on general trends in production, and emerging trading patterns. Five critical basic elements of reform are de...

Nanocrystalline magnesium oxides were prepared by sol–gel method and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2-BET, SEM and infrared spectroscopy techniques. The results confirmed the formation of Nano- MgO materials with crystallite size in range of 5-20 nm and surface areas of 336-556m2/g. The product has been tested as destructive adsorbent for the decontamination of (2-chloroethyl) et...

The importance of career development has long been recognised in both academic and applied organisational settings. Yet the subject remains highly topical, particularly in environments that are characterised by wide-scale organisational and cultural change. The main aim of this paper is to highlight and explore, through the use a case study of the Estonian civil service, some of the key career-...

MnCo2O4 (MnO-Co2O3) nanocomposite as a binary oxide has been successfully prepared by precipitation method using cobalt nitrate and manganese nitrate as the precursors and then characterized by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive micro-analysis (SEM-EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. In this work, we report the hydrolysis kinetics reactions of semi mustard (chloroethyl ethy...
