Chemical attacks conducted by Aum Shinrikyo in 1995 and the Iraqi government against the Kurdish people in the late 1980s have not had a significant impact on counterterrorism preparedness against chemical weapons in the United States. Even though Aum Shinrikyo had a level of expertise with chemical agents and the ability to produce them, it was proven that attacks of this nature are easy to carry out but difficult to gain the desired effect from. Initially, Aum thought their attack would kill

Let’s begin by asking ourselves: What is a discourse community? Well, according to a paper by Dan Melzer, a discourse community is used to “describe a community of people who share the same goals, the same methods of communication, the same genres, and the same lexis” (Melzer). A discourse community has some criteria that need to be met. There are a total of six different requirements. The first criterion is that it should have a “broadly agreed set of common public goals” (Melzer). Secondly, it

3.2 Genotype-Phenotype relationship and Severity Variations CF patients present a diverse amount of manifestations and degrees of severity, which could initially be attributed to allele heterogeneity (Keren et al, 1990). The CFTR mutations were strongly correlated with exocrine function disturbances and well imputed to hypertonic sweat. Although, CFTR disorder alone could not determinate lung phenotype. The literature describes a strong influence of genetic and non-genetic variations in airway

The proposed prediction ADC algorithm contains three key procedures: prediction, judgement, and final conversion. At the beginning, the prediction circuit generates common MSBs from a data memory that stores the digital results of the pixels in the previous row. Then the judgement circuit creates two analog boundary voltages based on the predicted MSB values and check whether the current pixel’s analog value is between the two boundary voltages based on Eq. (1). Finally, if the predicted MSB values

AVX Corporation is a global manufacturer of passive electronic components. AVX products include capacitors, connectors, diodes, DLA/MIL-Spec, filters, inductors, resistive products, RF/Microwave, thermistors, timing devices and varistors/fuses. In 1922, the creation of the Radiola Wireless Corporation is the history of AVX which made the radios. In 1924, Radiola sold name and altered to Aerovox Wireless Corporation. In 1972, AVX was constructed as a secondary to manufacture ceramic capacitors.

In 1984, Congress charged the Army with disposing of all stockpiled chemical weapons and given until 1997 to do so. There where chemical weapons since the World War I era that the United States had stockpiled (J. Pike, 2008). The need to dispose of said chemical weapons is how Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System, also referred to as JACADS, came to be (J. Pike, 2008). Construction started in the 1986 but it wasn’t until 1993 that JACADs was fully operational and able to destroy chemical

INTRODUCTION The following research paper has been compiled to provide an insight into Chemical Weapons (CW). It deals with the description and the usage of various chemical reagents used by various countries and their negative effects. The following also shows the policies of countries towards chemical weapons, their stockpiles and their lethality and disposal. The following report also shows the history of chemical warfare, their demilitarisation, proliferation and the various councils set up

Title 18 U.S.C. 2332a, WMD refers to any material, weapon, or devices that are intended to cause, or is capable of causing death or serious bodily injury to a significant number of people through release, dissemination, or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals or precursors, a disease organism, or radiation or radioactivity, including (but not limited to) biological devices, chemical devices, improvised nuclear devices, radiological dispersion devices, and radiological exposure devices. (WMD, 2016)

into Iraq, and put Americans’ and many other people's lives at risk or 2) we could go into Iraq, find the weapons of mass destruction, and confiscate them. A year after the 9/11 attacks, Bush informed the U.N. that inspections showed "stockpiles of VX, mustard and other chemical agents" were likely hidden in Iraq and that the regime was "rebuilding and expanding" chemical weapons production facilities. As the president, it is his sworn duty to put the American people as his top priority, which means
