    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Global Homeland; derealized warfare; direct warfare; military-civilian relations; sanitization of warfare; state fantasy; War on Terror; War on Terror fiction; Literature; Litteraturvetenskap;

    Abstract : Criticized for providing a simplified depiction of a post-9/11 United States, contemporary American “War on Terror” fiction has been largely neglected by critical discourse. In this dissertation, I argue that this fiction offers a vital engagement with how the War on Terror is waged, and how the fantasies and policies of the Global Homeland inform it. READ MORE

  4. 2. Simplified Routines for Sample Preparation and Analysis of Chemical Warfare Agent Degradation Products

    Author : Raja Subramaniam; Calle Nilsson; Paula Vanninen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nerve agents; Alkyl alkylphosphonic acids; Solid phase derivatization; Fluorinated diazomethane reagent; High-energy collision induced dissociation; CID MS MS library; analytisk kemi; Analytical Chemistry;

    Abstract : The thesis describes the development of new and improved methods for analyzing degradation markers from organophosphorus Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs). Paper I and II describes an innovative and significantly improved method for the enrichment, derivatization (trimethysilylation) and GC-MS analysis of a broad range of organophosphorus CWAs degradation markers, namely the alkylphosphonic acids and a zwitterionic compound.

    Abstract : For decades the focus of civil protection has been on civil defence shelters to withstand the threat of warfare and protecting civilians. In latter years, the general focus has often shifted towards the protection of specific targets that host functions important to society. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nano- and Micro-sized Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Particles on Solid Surfaces

    Author : Tripta Kamra; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are artificial receptors made by imprinting template molecules in a polymer matrix followed by their removal through washing to obtain a specific and selective template cavities. This property of the MIPs have made them a very efficient material for diverse applications such as chromatography, purification, drug sensing, etc. READ MORE
