Krieg und Kunst im antiken Griechenland und Rom

“…57 Ihre Datierung lässt sich annähernd erschließen: Da es nicht üblich war, dass dieselben Stifter (die Athener) dieselben Personen zum selben Zeitpunkt an demselben Ort mit verschiedenen Denkmälern ehrten, müssen die kolossalen Standbilder von dem Pfeilerdenkmal für Eumenes und Attalos vor den Propyläen getrennt werden. Aus historischen Gründen kommt nur eine spätere Datierung 56 Korres (2000); Schollmeyer (2001) Verständlicherweise besetzten die Athener zuerst den zentralen Platz bei dem Haupttempel, danach den Platz vor dem Zugang zur Akropolis. Die Ähnlichkeit der Profile entspricht der zeitlichen Nähe der beiden älteren Pfeiler (Korres, a. O. fig.…”

Parameters for Evaluation of the Fate, Transport, and Environmental Impacts of Chemical Agents in Marine Environments

“…The solubility of cyanogen chloride in aqueous sodium chloride solution at 30 °C was found to obey eq 6 74 [ClCN](M, satd at 30 °C) ) 0.91((0.05) -0.16((0.03)[NaCl](M) (6) Another reference gives the water solubility at 8 °C as 7-8% (0.8-0.9 M). 73 The primary fate of cyanogen chloride in water is hydrolysis to chloride and cyanate species; cyanic acid subsequently hydrolyzes to ammonia and carbon dioxide.…”

“…Most of these reports concern fishermen who inadvertently snared plastic lumps of the agent sulfur mustard in their nets. The United States disposed of a total of approximately 30 000 tons of chemical agent in several locations off its Atlantic , and Pacific coasts , as well as in Alaskan and Hawaiian waters. , In 1972, Congress enacted the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act, which explicitly prohibited disposal of chemical agents in ocean waters . This practice was also prohibited by the 1972 London Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter .…”

“…In 2004, three bomb disposal technicians from Dover Air Force Base, DE, were injured and one was hospitalized as a result of exposure to mustard agent when a clam trawler brought up a 75 mm chemical artillery shell that had been disposed at sea. This incident brought renewed attention to the practice of sea disposal both in the popular press , and in the technical literature. , Many of the chemical munitions that were disposed of 40−80 years ago have not yet ruptured or leaked; a large proportion of the discarded 30 000 tons remains on the sea floor. In response to this renewed public attention, Congress passed section 314(c) of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, requiring the Department of Defense to conduct research on the effects of chemical munitions disposed of in U.S. ocean waters.…”
