The influence of Greek banking capital in non-Eurozone countries

The Greek debt crisis is poised to undermine already dwindling investment flows into south-eastern Europe's emerging economies, adding to barriers to recovery in one of the continent's most fragile regions. Greek lending in Central and Eastern Europe is concentrated mainly in Romania and Bulgaria, both struggling to recover from sharp economic contractions and most exposed to any scaling back in funding as Greece's banks shore up their own finances. Greece has been a major investor in the region- it is the second biggest in Serbia- since the fall of communism in 1989. Its problems have so far had only a limited impact on nearby states and it is unclear how much of a drag it may create. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development- B.E.R.D.- warned of potential hits to bank systems and economies and analysts have also raised concerns. Greek firms are also not expected to invest heavily in their usual target areas as they digest severe government cost cuts at home, while simple proximity to a country that has become the latest trouble spot on investors' radar may also be an issue. Greek banks could be the main canal to transmit the crisis in Romania. At the same time, the measures of prudenciality taken by Central Bank should counteract the possible difficulties for Romanian banking system.peer-reviewe

Implication of Powdered Milk in Staphylococcal Intoxication: A Case Study

Foodborne diseases are diseases and acute evolution occurs mostly with digestive signs to more consumers of food contaminated with specific pathogens. Staph food poisoning due to consumption of contaminated food is staph enterotoxins enterotoxogeni producing certain temperature conditions. Enterotoxins are 7 types, depending on the type of contaminant stafiloc strain, so enterotoxin detection and diagnosis of the disease is relatively difficult. In the study examined the evolution of an episode of Foodborne staphylococcus in a school unit where 35 children fell ill between 252 consumers of milk reconstituted from milk powder. Duration of evolution was 4-10 hours

Unsaturated phosphonic acid, a novel precursor to fabricate metal organic frameworks

Investigations on phosphonates metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted interest during the last two decades due to their captivating network topology, structural flexibility and multiple special properties. The synthesis of 1 -phenylphosphonium acid, as precursor of metal organic framework was described. The synthesized compound was analyzed by 'H and 31P-NMR, HPLC, MS, TG and IR spectroscopy. The PM3 semi-empirical analysis of precursor was made in order to establish their design, structural properties, thermodynamic and electronic properties
