We would like to acknowledge The RAD-AR Council of the Netherlands for sponsorship. We particularly would like to thank our contributors for all the gratuitous efforts they put into the completion of this book. Those who, at our request, had to collaborate with colleagues on the other side of the globe, and were thus confronted with the special problems conneeted with such cooperation, earned our special gratitude. We are grateful to Professor Bill Lowrance, the former Executive Director of the IMBRE, for his much appreciated advice over the years. We are indebted to Dr. Jan Ufkes for his careful review of the chapters in Seetion II. Our thanks also go to Michael Davis, Deborah Reece, Michael Lewis and Hannah Bradley and all those other people at Wiley who had confidence in this project and who helped us to finish it. 

One of the main cocaine trafficking routes to Europe continues to go via the Caribbean, where the Netherlands Antilles, notably Aruba, are at the centre for ship-ment of cocaine to the Netherlands. The Dutch... 

More recent data are available from 13 of 27 European sites where synthetic rubber and rubber latex were produced and from on-going exposure surveys in an SBR-producing plant in the Netherlands. Less than 10% of the measured concentrations from the European sites exceeded 5 ppm (Table 10). Data from the Netherlands were available from 1976 onwards, although for the earlier surveys the measurement methods used were unknown and therefore the overview is limited to the period 1983-97. No clear trend can be seen for these years, but average exposures were relatively low (arithmetic mean < 3 ppm [6.6 mg/m ) (Table 11). 

A literature search will not result in an unequivocal definition of ceramic matrix composites or CMCs. The following definition which was presented at a symposium in Eindhoven, The Netherlands on 11 October 1994 gives us something to go by ...

Figure 1.17 An experimental set-up for electron spectrometry with synchrotron radiation which is well suited to angle-resolved measurements. A double-sector analyser and a monitor analyser are placed in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the photon beam and view the source volume Q. The double-sector analyser can be rotated around the direction of the photon beam thus changing the angle between the setting of the analyser and the electric field vector of linearly polarized incident photons. In this way an angle-dependent intensity as described by equ. (1.55a) can be recorded. The monitor analyser is at a fixed position in space and is used to provide a reference signal against which the signals from the rotatable analyser can be normalized. For all three analysers the trajectories of accepted electrons are indicated by the black areas which go from the source volume Q to the respective channeltron detectors. Reprinted from Nucl. Instr.

It was hard to find a decent job in The Netherlands. I kept applying and they kept turning me down, so I came to the U.S. for a postdoctoral position. Then, while I was a post-doc, I got several job offers, all in the U.S., and accepted the one from NIH. I originally thought of it as a temporary position and that I would one day return to Europe. But more recently, when we had the option to go back, we first went for an extended visit with our two small children. They went into culture...

In reply to an inquiry, Dr. Stern said We did examine in our studies of the synthetic utility of molecular sieves the four Linde sieves, and found that while 4A and 5A sieves worked quite well, 7A and 15X were not as effective. We also did a limited study of some other sieves, and found that the Linde material gave the best results. A Netherlands group16 effected transesterification of the type RCOOCH3 + R OH RCOOR + CHaOH and found that it can be caused to go to completion by absorbing the methanol selectively on a molecular sieve type 3A. In ester interchange with secondary, tertiary or branched primary alcohols, sieve 5A is well suited.
