Malory and Authorship: A Study of an Irresolvable Debate

Biological monitoring of toluene diisocyanate (TDI) exposure by analysis of urine from exposed workers

A gas chromatography-negative ion chemical ionization-selected ion monitoring-mass spectrometry (GC-NICI-SIM-MS) method was used to quantitate the metabolite toluene diamine (TDA) in urine samples of toluene diisocyanate (TDI) exposed workers. In order to validate the biological monitoring method, air samples were collected and analyzed using a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS

De första städerna.

Städer i sin snävaste betydelse är ett sentida fenomen. Eftersom de vuxit fram under en process är de inte så entydigt definierade som vi i nutiden antar.

Dessa begrepp antyder att livsmönstret inte riktigt utvecklats till en ”riktig” stad eller att det embryonala urbana livsmönstret
