As a result of science education research, a new era of reform in science education has started with the new centuiy. New standards have been fixed (National Research Council, 1996, 2000). The National Science Education Standards (National Research Council, 1996) and also the 2061 project of ihe American Association for the Advancement of Science (1989,1990) assume that inquiry in general and inquiry in the context of practical work in science education is central to the achievement of scientific literacy (Hofstein Mamlok-Naaman, 2007).

Council Directive 89/107/EEC, as amended by Directive 94/34/EC ° — This framework directive provides umbrella legislation under which the individual additives directives are developed. It includes a definition of a food additive, exclusions from the scope of the definition, and a list of food additive categories, one of which is colors. Additionally, general criteria for use of food additives are described. ... 

The general assessment indicates that the pharmaceutical industry experiences problems with transparency of dmg registration in two out of the 10 countries— Cypms and Uganda. The main problems cited involve communication between the DRA and the industry regarding clarity of procedures and adequacy of official explanations for the rejection of an application. In Cypms, the Dmg Council also raised issues concerning the fairness of treatment of foreign versus domestic industry, and the arbitration of contradictory quality analysis results provided by different laboratories, both belonging to the Dmg Council. 

The ICRP (1994b, 1995) developed a Human Respiratory Tract Model for Radiological Protection, which contains respiratory tract deposition and clearance compartmental models for inhalation exposure that may be applied to particulate aerosols of americium compounds. The ICRP (1986, 1989) has a biokinetic model for human oral exposure that applies to americium. The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) has also developed a respiratory tract model for inhaled radionuclides (NCRP 1997). At this time, the NCRP recommends the use of the ICRP model for calculating exposures for radiation workers and the general public. Readers interested in this topic are referred to NCRP Report No. 125 Deposition, Retention and Dosimetry of Inhaled Radioactive Substances (NCRP 1997). In the appendix to the report, NCRP provides the animal testing clearance data and equations fitting the data that supported the development of the human mode for americium. 

The NATO Science Programme offers support for collaboration in civil science between scientists of countries of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council. The types of scientific meeting generally supported are Advanced Study Institutes and Advanced Research Workshops, and the NATO Science Series collects together the results of these meetings. The meetings are co-organized by scientists from NATO countries and scientists from NATO s Partner countries—countries of the CIS and Central and Eastern Europe. 

Those activities are generally conducted during the course of official registration of a plant-protection product. Because, according to Council Directive 91/414/EEC, the registration procedures and evaluation criteria are currently harmonized between the member states of the European Union, the objective of this paper is to contribute to the discussion about a future Union-wide evaluation and assessment scheme for re-entry exposure. 

FIGURE 10.1 (a) Electron drift velocity versus external electric field in methane, NP, and TMS showing sublinear dependence. See text for details, (b) Electron drift velocity versus external electric field in neohexane, ethane, 2,2,2,4-TMP, and butane at the indicated temperatures. Generally, the field dependence is supralinear, whereas for neohexane, linear variation has been seen up to 140 kV/cm. See text for details.
