There is a limited understanding what the constituent elements of the ethical leadership are. Although various researchers defined ethical leadership as a specific leadership style, with typical personality traits and behaviors, the precise instantiation of the content of ethical leadership was only seldom investigated. The body of empirical research on ethical leadership is only slowly beginni...

The detection and identification of chemical warfare agents is an important analytical goal. Herein, it is demonstrated that 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (half-mustard, CEES) can be successfully analysed using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). A critical component in this detection system is the fabrication of a robust, yet highly enhancing, sensor surface. Recent advances in substrate...

Acknowledgement I am very grateful for everyone who helped me during my research. First of all, I thank Mariët Theune for her supervision, our regular meetings and her encouraging feedback during those meetings. Second, I thank Rieks op den Akker for helping me by asking tough questions about probability theory and other parts of my report. I also enjoyed our sometimes rather philosophical disc...

This paper examines bilateral and multilateral integration of equity markets of selected Central and Eastern European countries including Croatia, and German equity market for the period of January 2nd, 1997 to June 10th, 2005. Application of the Johansen cointegration procedure indicates existence of multilateral integration between equity markets of analyzed CEE economies, as well as between ...

Inexpensive strategies for efficient decontamination of hazardous chemicals are required. In this study, the effect visible light (λ > 400 nm) on decomposition 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-CEES, a sulfur mustard (HD) simulant) Au/TiO2 photocatalyst under anaerobic and aerobic conditions has been investigated in situ by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier –transformed spectroscopy (DRIFTS)...

In a recent paper, Gilman and Philips (1) pointed out that the P-chloroethyl vesicants are extremely toxic compounds which have specific effects on the bone marrow, lymphoid tissues, and the intestinal mucosa. In addition, the systemic injury produced by these mustards causes a series of complex biochemical and physiological changes in the body. This investigation was undertaken to determine th...
