Case studies in exploiting terrorist group divisions with disinformation and divisive/black propaganda
(Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews, 2010-07-22) - Journal articleCounterterrorism operations should be exploiting the divisions and infighting of terrorist groups. The overall goal should be to make fewer mistakes than the jihadis, help increase inter-group and intra-group tension, and ... -
A case study analysis of system efficiency, viability and energy values of SOFC based fuel cell Micro-CHP for office buildings
(Electrochemical Society, 2015) - Conference itemThe built environment is a large contributor to the greenhouse gas emissions. The first step in tackling environmental impact and fuel cost reduction is the minimization of energy losses through introduction of new and ... -

(Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews, 2014-06-02) - Journal articleThis paper undertakes summative content analytical case study of Anders Behring Breivik’s political manifesto, analysing Breivik’s conceptualisations of social ingroup and outgroup, and how these concepts interact. Findings ... -
Case study: The Edinburgh Research Archive
(Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2006) - Book itemThis chapter discusses the many real-life issues encountered during the development process of a combined e-theses and e-print repository which ultimately became the Edinburgh Research Archive. -
Cashinahua cosmovision : a perspectival approach to identity and alterity
(1998) - ThesisThis thesis explores the interface of social and cosmogonic thought in an indigenous society of the southwestern Brazilian Amazon. The first part sets out the Cashinahua ontological framework, describes key concepts and ... -
Casimir effect from macroscopic quantum electrodynamics
(2011-06) - Journal articleThe canonical quantization of macroscopic electromagnetism was recently presented in (Philbin 2010 New J. Phys. 12 123008). This theory is used here to derive the Casimir effect, by considering the special case of thermal ... -
Casimir forces for inhomogeneous planar media
(2013-01-25) - Book itemCasimir forces arise from vacuum uctuations. They are fully understood only for simple models, and are important in nano- and microtechnologies. We report our experience of computer algebra calculations towards the Casimir ... -
Casos de honra : honouring clandestine contracts and Italian novelle in early modern English and Spanish drama
(University of St Andrews, 2014-05-15) - ThesisThis thesis argues that the popularity of the clandestine marriage plot in English and Spanish drama following the Reformation corresponds closely to developments and emerging conflicts in European matrimonial law. My ... -
Caste, class and profession in old regime France: the French army and the Ségur reform of 1781
(Centre for French History and Culture of the University of St Andrews, 2010) - BookFirst published in French in 1974, David D. Bien’s essay on the nature of nobility in old regime France pivoted around the 1781 “Ségur regulation” that required four generations of nobility for most officers entering the ... -
Cataloguing the World Wide Web: CORC at Edinburgh University
(MCB UP Ltd, 2001) - Journal articleThis article examines Edinburgh University Library’s experience of using OCLC’s Co-operative Online Resource Catalogue (CORC). It discusses the project phase of CORC, its functionality, including automatic metadata harvesting ... -
Catalyst design in oxidation chemistry; from KMnO4 to artificial metalloenzymes
(2014-10-15) - Journal articleOxidation reactions are an important part of the synthetic organic chemist’s toolkit and continued advancements have, in many cases, resulted in high yields and selectivities. This review aims to give an overview of the ... -
Catalyst selective and regiodivergent O- to C- or N-carboxyl transfer of pyrazolyl carbonates : synthetic and computational studies
(2014-07-03) - Journal articleThe regiodivergent O- to C- or N-carboxyl transfer of pyrazolyl carbonates is described, with DMAP giving preferential N-carboxylation and triazolinylidenes promoting selective C-carboxylation (both with up to >99 : 1 ... -
Catalyst-free photoredox addition–cyclisations : exploitation of natural synergy between aryl acetic acids and maleimide
(2014-03-20) - Journal articleSuitably functionalised carboxylic acids undergo a previously unknown photoredox reaction when irradiated with UVA in the presence of maleimide. Maleimide was found to synergistically act as a radical generating photoxidant ... -
Catalytic constructive deoxygenation of lignin-derived phenols: new C-C bond formation processes from imidazole-sulfonates and ether cleavage reactions
(2014-10-09) - Journal articleAs part of a programme aimed at exploiting lignin as a chemical feedstock for less oxygenated fine chemicals, several catalytic C-C bond forming reactions utilising guaiacol imidazole sulfonate are demonstrated. These ... -
