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) ethyl ...

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...

2-Chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) is a simulant for the chemical warfare agent, bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide, also known as mustard gas. Functionalized Zr-BTC synthesized and exploited optical detection of CEES.

A case histories course was introduced into the CEE curriculum at University of Louisville in fall 2004, to address various specialties and to synthesize what the students from various specializations learned in different courses. The course, patterned after a course taught by Dr. Ralph B. Peck at the University of Illinois, satisfies many ABET course outcomes and educational objectives. By inv...

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...

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.

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...

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.
