    The Chemical Weapons Convention: Strategic Implications for the United States

    On January 13, 1993, in Paris, 130 countries signed the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) to ban the entire class of chemical weapons. Many of those nations have since ratified it. In this country, debate continues on the strategic implications of the convention, as drafted, and whether it is in the U.S. national security interest. Once gain, that debate comes before the Senate for ratification consideration in 1997. Frederick Vogel explores the historical, moral, and legal aspects of chemical warfare, and the strategic implications of the convention, including operational, policy, constitutional, and industrial impact for the United States. He concludes that, although imperfect, the convention will contribute to U.S. national security.https://press.armywarcollege.edu/monographs/1200/thumbnail.jp

    Whittier House donor letter and list from Frederick P. Craig

    Whittier House scrapbooks document Whittier House programs, events, and anniversary celebrations through newspaper clippings, lecture fliers, newsletters, event programs, and ticket stubs. Newspaper clippings are primarily from the Jersey Journal. There is also Whittier House fundraising materials, including pamphlets, appeal letters, brochures, and postcards. The Whittier House Social Settlement, the first settlement house in New Jersey, was established in Jersey City, N.J. (Hudson County) in 1894. Founded by Cornelia Foster Bradford, who would remain with the organization as headworker until 1926, Whittier House was based on the settlement house, Toynbee Hall, in England. Whittier House provided various recreational and educational programs, along with much needed social services, for the immigrant populations of Jersey City. Many of these successful services were used as models for large-scale social reform movements through the state. In 1935, the Whittier House was taken over by the Boys' Club of Jersey City

    The pages of this manuscript fragment are numbered 39 and 40 [a note on the recto states that these correspond to 296 in the printed text]; a pencil note at the top of the recto attributes the work to Captain Frederick Marryat [the novel alluded to may have been Marryat\u27s _Snarleyyow, or, The Dog Fiend_ (1837)].A popular novelist and author of children\u27s adventure fiction like _Masterman Ready_ (1841), a castaway tale, Marryat entered the navy as a teenager and by 1815 had risen to the rank of commander. He was active in the Anglo-Burmese war in 1823, after which he was made a CB and awarded the gold medal of the Royal Humane Society; Marryat was made a fellow of the Royal Society for his innovations in signaling

    Polymer electrolyte conductivity and the Vogel equation.

    Get PDF
    The frequency-dependent conductivity of an amorphous polymer electrolyte is examined. It is shown that the frequency-dependent conductivity of polymer electrolytes exhibit many of the same properties as ion conducting glasses. This suggests similarities in the mechanism of ion conduction between polymer electrolytes and ionic glasses.The free volume theory of the Vogel equation is discussed. Some of the weaknesses of this theory as applied to polymer electrolytes are pointed out. A theory of the Vogel equation in terms of hopping models is presented. This theory is consistent with the results of the frequency-dependent conductivity and semi-crystalline polymer electrolytes.The conductivity of semi-crystalline polymer electrolyte systems are also investigated. This work demonstrates that at least two separate ion conduction mechanisms are occuring in semi-crystalline polymer electrolytes. A proposal is made for understanding the discontinuities seen in the conductivity of semi-crystalline polymer electrolytes.Polymer electrolytes are ion conducting solids with possible applications to rechargeable batteries. Despite great interest much remains unknown about the conductivity of polymer electrolytes. A number of topics concerned with polymer electrolyte conductivity are discussed in this work.An examination of conductivity prefactors revels the possible presence of the compensation effect. While great care must be taken before reporting a compensation effect, this work and the work of other researchers suggests that there is relation be tween the conductivity prefactors and the activation energy. Various theories of the compensation effect are discussed, and consistent with Linert's theory a connection is made between the compensation effect and the vibrational spectra of the polymer
