A search for heavy neutrinos that are isosinglets under the standard $SU(2)_L$ gauge group is made at center-of-mass energies 130 $< \sqrt{s} <$ 189 GeV with the L3 detector at LEP. Such heavy ...neutrinos are expected in many extensions of the Standard Model. The search is performed for the first generation heavy singlet neutrino, $\mathrm{N}_e$, through the decay mode $\mathrm{N}_e \rightarrow \mathrm{e} + \mathrm{W}$. We set upper limits on the mixing parameter between the heavy and light neutrino for the heavy neutrino mass range from 80 GeV to 185 GeV.

If fever arises in patients using neuroleptic drugs, it is possible that the fever is an adverse reaction to the drug. Two cases are reported of patients who developed fever to neuroleptic agents. In ...one patient it probably concerned a reaction to the solvent of the sustained-action preparation of the drug. The other patient developed fever probably as part of the neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
A search for unstable sequential neutral and charged heavy leptons has been made at center-of-mass energies 130 and 136 \GeV\ with the L3 detector at LEP. The neutral leptons are assumed to decay via ...mixing to electrons and muons. No evidence for their existence was found. We exclude unstable Dirac neutrinos for masses below 59.3 (57.9) \GeV\ and unstable Majorana neutrinos below 48.6 (47.2) \GeV\ if the neutrino couples to the electron(muon) family. We exclude unstable charged heavy leptons for masses below 61 \GeV\ for a wide range of the associated neutral lepton m
agencies to maximise benefits from operational monitoring programmes (e.g. EuroGOOS, ECOOP GMES). As pressure upon national resources mount and growing awareness of environmental problems with a ...transboundary nature continues, for example at a catchment level in the Water Framework Directive and for a prospective European marine directive, the need for (international) collaborative regional initiatives have begun to be realised. As the first step towards establishing a wider regional initiative a European Marine Ecosystem Observatory (EMECO) has been established within the North Sea.To develop EMECO (www.cefas.co.uk/emeco) a bottom – up approach has been adopted based upon collaboration between agencies with statutory responsibilities for a range of environmental pressures from monitoring and assessment of nutrients and hazardous substances, wave monitoring to fish stock assessments. The monitoring programmes associated with such activities are by nature long-term and these programmes form key components of EMECO. However, there are a range of other programmes with either a relevant North Sea component (EU Ferry Box programme, International CPR programme, Smart-Buoy programme) or are part of wider initiatives (e.g. satellite remote sensing) that will also contribute to the observatory. It will also embrace initiatives to protect and conserve renewable and sustainable resources such as Marine Protected Areas and closed area for fisheries such as the Dutch Cod Box. The observatory will provide an opportunity to integrate research with monitoring and assessment programmes and to undertake reviews at a regional level to identify gaps in information and develop strategies to address shortcomings.Within the ecosystem approach, ICES is increasingly aware of the need to include ecosystem considerations in its fisheries assessment models in order to enhance their predictive properties. Moreover, ICES’ preparedness to carry out integrated assessments could be greatly enhanced by the scientific framework embedded in EMECO.This paper will describe the approach taken so far with EMECO, will explore the relationships and chances for collaboration with other initiatives (ECOOP GMES, EuroGOOS) and will examine how EMECO might contribute to ICES’ needs for environmental information in fisheries and ecosystem advice.Keywords: ecosystem observatory, monitoring, Ferry Box, Smart-Buoy, remote sensing
The problem of labor turnover (LT) is very urgent because of over-employment in Holland. LT can be used as a part of an explicit positive personnel policy to repel those people who have capacities ...but for whom there is no place in the enterprise. Besides giving these people new chances it makes possible the injection of `new blood', a change in atmosphere, stimulation of promotion, & a harmonious age structure. This type of LT, & another type: the unavailable LT (because of marriage, death, retirement, illness, military service, etc) are not to be disapproved. But much of the LT at the moment arises out of a lack of appeal on the side of the enterprise. The last type of LT has various consequences: (1) instead of real personnel manag, time & energy are used to fill the gap of personnel shortage; (2) the standards of selection are lowered; (3) too many changes in personnel create disruptions & take too much time for the introduction of the new personnel; (4) the task of management increases disproportionally & morale goes down; (5) lower morale leads to increased LT; & (6) management wants quick solutions of their problems & tends to accept uncritically some quack remedy. LT statistics & the exit-interview are means to analyze the problem: How do we tie employees to the enterprise? To accomplish this the needs of the employees must be fulfilled. 3 groups of needs must be distinguished: material, psychical or social, & spiritual needs. T. J. Yzerman.
