This book provides a concise overview of the COST Action 729 by offering a summary of the major findings and scientific and policy processes, reports of the national contributions and by providing summaries of the international workshops and conferences on ammonia in the environment, NATURA 2000, Nitrogen and biodiversity and Integrated modelling tools. The books shows how the COST Action 729 has contributed to a large extent to the development of nitrogen science and its (policy) application by the European nitrogen community, together with the ESF-NinE programme and NitroEurope.
MOLECULAR NUTRITION & FOOD RESEARCH (Volume 7, 2005): "Thermally Processed Foods: Possible Health Implications"

The main objective of COST Action 927 is to improve the nutritional quality and safety of heat-processed foods, taking also into consideration the consumer’s needs and preferences. Therefore, gaining basic knowledge about the formation of compounds which are beneficial or harmful to health and which are formed during the heat treatment of various foods is one of the key task for COST 927.

Microwave and Millimeter Wave Circuits and Systems: Emerging Design, Technologies and Applications provides a wide spectrum of current trends in the design of microwave and millimeter circuits and systems. In addition, the book identifies the state-of-the art challenges in microwave and millimeter wave circuits systems design such as behavioral modeling of circuit components, software radio and digitally enhanced front-ends, new and promising technologies such as substrate-integrated-waveguide (SIW) and wearable electronic systems, and emerging applications such as tracking of moving targets using ultra-wideband radar, and new generation satellite navigation systems. Each chapter treats a selected problem and challenge within the field of Microwave and Millimeter wave circuits, and contains case studies and examples where appropriate.

Inspired by the establishment of an EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA), the Association of Human Rights Institutes (AHRI) held its conference in Vienna in 2006. The conference took place in the framework of the EU COST programme “Human Rights, Peace and Security in EU Foreign Policy”. Numerous international human rights experts participated and discussions centered on the FRA’s mandate and its role in EU external policy-making, as well as the utility of indicators in the monitoring of compliance with human rights obligations.
This book comprises selected contributions to the conference. Main topics include a critical analysis of the FRA’s aims and tasks, as well as its relationship with the Council of Europe’s human rights system; challenges to human rights related data collection and the development of an effective EU-wide monitoring system; national human rights action plans and the use of indicators for the improvement of external human rights policy; the importance of a common understanding of human rights for effective human rights protection in peace operations; and the influence of the masss media on the participation of EU countries in peace operations.
