Thirty consecutive 12 hour days would obviously be exhausting. In the European Union it would also be illegal under the Working Time Directive, enacted in 2003.

The modules form the building blocks that are assembled together with special designed mechanical components to realise the required scanner. The modules are approved according to the relevant European direetives, thus reducing tlie time, work and cost needed for approving the final scanner system. 

There is a longstanding tradition of using alchemical imagery in poetry. It first flourished at the end of the sixteenth century, when the status of alchemy itself was revitalised in European society. Here I explain the reasons for this resurgence of the Hermetic arts, and explore how it was manifested in English culture and in particular in the literary and poetic works of the time"... 

The auditors themselves may be obliged to undergo an approval process for independent and high quality work. Since the amendments to REACH are currently on the European political agenda, 2012 would be a convenient time to introduce these three proposals. 

Finally, the different approaches to followup notification and testing impose additional requirements upon substances in Europe that do not apply to the same chemicals when they are marketed in the U.S. In the short term, at least, this discrepancy may well work to the advantage of companies doing business in this country (whether U.S.- or foreign-based). But, over time this also could lead European companies to seek changes ("harmonization" ) which either make the EEC requirements less stringent or incorporate an EEC-type of followup scheme into TSCA.(39)... 

My purpose in comparing Alchemy and Tibetan Buddhist Yoga is twofold. First, the old European alchemists refered to their melancholia, meaning the depression that besets till spiritual practitioners from time to time. In Alchemy this depression is pronounced and common, because its practitioners, more often than not, work in isolation and in a nonsupportive culture. Tibetan Buddhism on the other hand, has a continuous lineage of practitioners who have attained signs of accomplishment, thereby giving assurance to others that the Goal is attainable. Tibet also has a culture where the fruits of the spirit are valued above all else. 

Born s essays making up The Constitution of Matter were intended to be an aid to those who did not have "time to study the larger work of Sommerfeld," namely, Atomic Structure and Spectral Lines (1915), which laid out Bohr s first quantum theory and Sommerfeld s emendations.6 Bom and Sommerfeld were to have enormous influence on the development of quantum mechanics and its application to atoms and molecules. Not only did many European, British, and American scientists come to study at their physics institutes but they each gave influential series of lectures at foreign institutions, nowhere with more influence than in the United States.
