In the production of biological effects such as vesication by bis-p-chloroethyl sulfide (mustard gas) it has been considered probable that inactivation of tissue enzymes is of foremost importance. In view of the reaction characteristics of bis-p-chloroethyl sulfide it has appeared likely that this inhibition is due to an alkylation reaction involving essential groups of the enzymes. Involvement...

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.

Television markets in the CEE region have experienced rapid growth in recent years. The number of multichannel TV households (households that can receive cable or satellite television, as well as terrestrial channels) grew by almost 50 percent and the share of Pay TV increased to over 40 percent between 2008 and 2010.

My paper addresses an issue that is rarely discussed in the economics literature: how does the economic actors’ trust in each other and in the legal and political institutions affect a country’s economic performance? The first part of the paper is an empirical analysis of the interrelationship between confidence in institutions in different countries, the economic actors’ willingness to coopera...

Tremendous potential exists for the growth of metal finishing industry in this century through the development of processes that are either environmentally friendly or are applicable at the nano scale. In the CEE the theoretical and experimental studies are performed to achieve such coatings. Nanostructured alloys and innovative composite materials were developed through adaptation of existing ...

The sources and environmental levels of the PBTs in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe are broadly described. Most of the countries in the region produce and/or formulate pesticides. The pesticide registration is a primary requirement for import, production and distribution. The special attention must be given to unwanted pesticides. The problem of unwanted and expired pesticides pose ...

As the new Editor in Chief, I will use this editorial to give a brief outline of my vision for the future of the journal. As the english-language successor to the dutch-language journal of the Dutch Association for Medical Education (NVMO), ‘Perspectives on Medical Education’ has become a fully-fledged international scientific journal. I commend the editorial board on this achievement. It provi...
