This report describes the full life cycle of an intercomparison among European laboratories monitoring radioactivity in food and the environment. An available IAEA reference material was re-processed at IRMM into suitable intercomparison samples and the homogeneity of the distributed samples...

This EUR report describes numerical missile impact analyses on a reinforced concrete slab performed at JRC-IE using the Finite Element (FE) solver ABAQUS/Explicit. The FE model of the impacted reinforced concrete slab resembles a structure used in the missile impact tests by Hanchak et al. FE...

R & D tax credits are currently used by 25 Member States as a means to stimulate R & D investment and, ultimately, economic growth and employment. This paper is a first attempt to provide an in-depth analysis of the structural economic factors that, other things being equal, affect or condition...
