the emergence and the development of the economic, social and political institutions of eu, all aimed to boarder and deeper the european integration (ei), are provided a valuable site for the conceptualization of the ei. an understanding of the development of eu studies as an academic sub discipline is best developed through the explanation of theoretical work, past and present. heoretical stud...

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) has been working on matters related to occupational health problems in 15 European Union (EU) member states. EU-OSHA established 10 topic centers on work and health research in 1998. One of the topic centers is assigned for research and information on work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The present report is written because such ac...

The optical, magnetic and structural properties of Eu doped low silica calcium aluminosilicate glasses were investigated. The optical absorption coefficient presented two bands at 39,246 and 29,416 cm(-1), which were assigned respectively to the [Formula in text], and [Formula in text] transitions of Eu(2+). The fluorescence measured at 300 K on a sample doped with 0.5 wt% of Eu(2)O(3) exhibite...

A solution combustion route for the synthesis of Eu-activated M2V2O7 (M 0 Sr, Ba) and their luminescent properties have been investigated. Structure and luminescent characteristics of Sr2V2O7:Eu 3+ and Ba2V2O7:Eu 3+ nanophosphors have been studied by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, fluorescence spectrometry and Fourier transform infra-red spect...

A recent study has shown that geometrical invariance can describe the kinematic features of human drawing and locomotion movements [1]. The proposed theory has suggested that movement duration and compositionality arise from the cooperation among the Euclidian, equi-affine and full affine geometries. On the other hand, past studies have shown that different optimization principles can be used t...

Investment is essential for growth and for job creation. It integrates the EU in global value chains to achieve a stronger economic recovery. EU policies are geared towards increasing investment as part of the recovery. The EU already is the world's largest source and destination of foreign direct investment (FDI), and therefore has a strong interest to facilitate and protect international inve...

The European Union (EU) provides grants to disadvantaged regions of member states to allow them to catch up with the EU average. Under the Objective 1 scheme, NUTS2 regions with a per-capita GDP level below 75% of the EU average qualify for structural funds transfers from the central EU budget. This rule gives rise to a regression-discontinuity design that exploits the discrete jump in the prob...

security has been the most important issue in relations between turkey and the european :union:. turkish leaders have always tried to link their own security concerns with those of the :union:, trying to portray their country as net security provider to the eu. the european :union: in its new security strategy has tried to expand its security zone outside the eu, defining issues such as terrori...
