  1. 1. Controlling Weapons of Mass Destruction : An Evaluation of International Security Regime Significance

    Författare :Charles F. Parker; Michael Zürn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Political science; Regimes; security; international cooperation; compliance; weapons of mass destruction; arms control; non-proliferation; nuclear weapons; biological weapons; chemical weapons; NPT; BTWC; CWC; CTBT; Statsvetenskap; Political science; Statsvetenskap; statskunskap; Political Science;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation conducts an in-depth examination of the three weapons of mass destruction control regimes: the nuclear non-proliferation regime, the biological weapons control regime, and the chemical weapons control regime (NBC weapon control regimes). By examining a number of key indicators, this study investigates the specific ways each regime makes or does not make a difference in its respective issue area. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Route attribution of chemical warfare agents : Retrospective classification of unknown threat samples

    Författare :Karin Höjer Holmgren; Johan Dahlén; Crister Åstot; Peter Haglund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Impurity profiling; Chemical attribution signature; Route sourcing;

    Sammanfattning : Although chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are prohibited under international law, there have been numerous crimes that violates the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) during the last decade, especially in the civil war in Syria where sarin, mustard gas and chlorine have all been used. CWAs have also been used in political assassinations and attempts thereof. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Enzymes are biological catalysts that significantly increase the rate of all biochemical reactions that take place within cells and are essential to maintain life. Many questions regarding their function remain unknown. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Studies of different secondary metabolites : Natural products from the mevalonate pathway

    Författare :Mariela Alejandra Gonzales Ramirez; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Natural products; fungi; Galiellalactone; Galiella rufa; Trichilia adolfi; benzofuran;

    Sammanfattning : Natural products, also called secondary metabolites, are small molecules that are not involved in main life processes. These can be produced by any living organism and play important roles as chemical weapons, protecting the organism from the competitive environment. LÄS MER
