The paper presents the published results regarding the radon concentrations in indoor air in Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Slovak Republic, Ukraine and Yugoslavia from Carpathian Basin. The study is based on the materials of the International Nuclear Information System (INIS) on a 10 year period (1986 1997). It is completed with the results of the papers published in the Conferences volu...

The E proteins of mammals, and the related Daughterless (DA) protein of Drosophila, are ubiquitously expressed helix-loop-helix (HLH) transcription factors that play a role in many developmental processes. We report here the characterization of a related C. elegans protein, CeE/DA, which has a dynamic and restricted distribution during development. CeE/DA is present embryonically in neuronal pr...

In order to incorporate FDI factors for different MNEs, industries and countries, a unique dataset that includes country-, industryand firmlevel data is constructed. This approach avoids the aggregation or disaggregation problem by considering several levels of data simultaneously in to the analysis. The constructed database contains information on 1,223 foreign investment made by EU15 countrie...

In this scientific research, magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles were synthesized from magnesium nitrate and ammonium solutions via microwave@sol-gel process. The structure and the morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles has been identified and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2-BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Tell), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) te...

Four phenylalanine nitrogen mustards were tested against the S91 Cloudman mela noma in young male mice. Two of the mustards carried the di (2-chloroethyl) amino group in the meta position but differed in respect to the location of the amino group in the alanine side chain. Likewise, two of the mustards carried the di(2-chloroethyl)amino group in the para position, again differing, however, in l...

BACKGROUND Progress in maternal and neonatal mortality has been slow in many countries despite increasing access to institutional births, suggesting deficiencies in the quality of care. We carried out a systematic assessment of the quality of maternal and newborn care in three CEE/CIS countries, using an innovative approach to identify priority issues and promote action. METHODS A standard-ba...

Austrian foreign direct investment (FDI) increased quickly since 1992. The profitability of these investments did improve over the full period under consideration (1992 to 2005). In particular investments in Central and Eastern Europe became rather profitable. In 2005 total annual profits translate into an average return on equity (RoE) of 8.3%. However, returns differ to a large extent by regi...

Fe(0 0 1) thin films (70 ( A) with Fe(7.2 ( A) tracer layers at the interface were epitaxially grown on GaAs(4 6) surfaces. Magneto-optic Kerr effect and Ferromagnetic resonance measurements indicate a dominant 2-fold in-plane magnetic anisotropy (easy axis along [1 1 0]) superimposed to a 4-fold anisotropy, and small coercivity (B10Oe). M . ossbauer (CEMS) measurements indicate no magnetic ‘‘d...
