The Quantification of Cocaine from the Erythroxylum coca plant and the Comparison on High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy as an Analytical Method.

Cocaine is derived from the Erythroxylum coca plant, is a highly addictive stimulant abused all over the world. There are two types of Erythroxylum coca plants that produce cocaine; the E. Coca and E. Novogranatense. Cocaine exists as the salt, and the freebase which is typically referred to as “crack” due to the crackling sound it makes when heated. It is popular because it is inexpensive and easily available on the streets, mainly in poor urban areas. The purpose of this project was to determine the amount of cocaine that can be extracted from E.coca and to assess which analytical technique, High Performance Liquid Chromatography or Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy, is better to quantify the amount extracted. The amount of cocaine extracted from 3.0g of E.Coca leaves using GCMS and HPLC is, respectively, 3.90 x10-6g and 1.53 x10-5g. The limit of detection for both GCMS and HPLC was 0.002µg/mL and 0.004µg/mL respectively, and the limit of quantification was 0.008µg/mL for GCMS and 0.116µg/mL for the HPLC

Constructing Arctic sovereignty: rules, policy and governance 1494-2013

This thesis was submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University London.Constructing Arctic Sovereignty: Rules, Policy and Governance 1494--‐201 is a meta-narrative of the development of state sovereignty in the Arctic. It investigates the evolution of the rules of the international system over the longue durée, in so far as they frame Arctic sovereignty. It examines in particular the increasing importance of the legal dimension of territory and the transitions that have occurred with the introduction of new rules used by states to establish sovereignty. The thesis analyses the policy of the United States, Canada and Russia as they pursue their national interests in the region with reference to (and at times in contravention of) international rules and codes, and it situates governance within the framework of the international system as a mechanism for states to pursue their interests in the Arctic beyond their sovereign borders. This thesis makes an original contribution to knowledge through its distinctive methodology and theoretical approach, as well as through its analysis of primary materials. Using the pillars of a constructivist research framework including rules and interests over the longue durée to develop a meta- narrative of Arctic sovereignty, it situates contemporary Arctic foreign policy and governance within the evolving framework of the international system, identifying imperialism as a common thread in the relationship between the Arctic states and Arctic territory. It concludes that the expansion of sovereignty over this new territory represents the continuation of imperialism within the international system by states, perpetuating an asymmetric relationship that allows states to absorb this territory for the purposes of resource exploitation in the pursuit of national interests with international cooperation maintaining the primacy of the Arctic states within the region.The Foundation for Women Graduates for a third year expenses grant.
