Résumé :
Methylphosphonic acid (MPA) is the final degradant of many chemical warfare nerve agents (CWAs). Its detection in environmental and biological samples is a potential indicator of nerve agent use. Due to its high polarity and low volatility, analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) requires the derivatisation of MPA into a more volatile and less polar species. Currently, to derivatise MPA, it is typically necessary to perform the time-consuming and error-inducing water removal process prior to derivatisation. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to develop alternate rapid

Résumé :
This paper examines the evolution of government policy through Congressional debate and citizen involvement on the topic of Agent Orange. Use of primary sources from newspaper and journal articles, Congressional records, scientific studies, and press releases and some secondary literature by scholars from multiple disciplines builds a picture of the ongoing debate of Agent Orange and its two component herbicides from circa 1940 to 1991. Within this paper are four primary focuses, divided into three parts. First, the Congressional discussions prior to 1970 of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T, the two herbicid

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>With the increasing emphasis of asymmetric tactics employed by terrorist organizations and extremist militants, the development of fast and capable naval combatants has become the focus of many navies around the world. Predominately aimed at the defense of the littorals, these smaller naval combatants must be able to establish maritime dominance at an affordable price, given constrained defense budgets. The Offshore Patrol Vessel is one such ship type that can meet these needs. This thesis explores the development of a Map Aware Non-Uni

Résumé :
The reactivity of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and CWA simulants on organic and oxide surfaces is not currently well understood, but is of substantial importance to the development of effective sensors, filters and sorbent materials. Polyurethane coatings are used by the armed forces as chemical agent resistive paints to limit the uptake of CWAs on surfaces, while the use of metal oxides has been explored for decontamination and protection purposes. To better understand the chemical nature of the interactions of organophosphonate simulants with these surfaces, an ultra-high vacuum environm
