Vurdering av mulige helseeffekter ved skyting med 5,56 mm frangible ammunisjon på innendørs skytebane
(2012-12-21)I forbindelse med at Forsvarets personell benytter frangible ammunisjon innendørs, var det ønskelig fra brukernes side å få foretatt en vurdering av om utslipp fra bruk av denne typen ammunisjon kan gi helseeffekter. For ... -
Enhancing far-field thermal emission with thermal extraction
(2013)The control of thermal radiation is of great current importance for applications such as energy conversions and radiative cooling. Here we show theoretically that the thermal emission of a finite-size blackbody emitter can ... -
Formation of a large submarine crack during the final stage of retrogressive mass wasting on the continental slope offshore northern Norway
(2013)High-resolution swath-bathymetry data integrated with sub-bottom profiles and single-channel seismics reveal an 18 km long, up to 1000 m wide and 10–15 m deep crack located approx. 4 km upslope from a slide scar on the ... -
Detection of forest clear-cuts with shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM) and tandem-X InSAR data
(2013)The aim of this study was to determine whether forest clear-cuts during 2000–2011 could be detected as a decrease in surface height by combining Digital Surface Models (DSMs) from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission ... -
'Abdallah 'Azzam and Palestine
(2013)ʿAbdallāh ʿAzzām (1941–1989) helped make jihadism more transnational by spearheading the effort to bring Muslim foreign fighters to Afghanistan in the 1980s. But why would a West Bank native devote himself to a war in ... -
Simulating CSF flow dynamics in the normal and chiari I subarachnoid space during rest and exertion
(2013)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CSF fluid dynamics in healthy subjects and patients with Chiari I have been characterized during rest with phase-contrast MR imaging and CFD. CSF flow velocities and pressures in the nonresting state ... -
'Bomb-making for beginners': Inside an al-Qaida e-learning course
(2013)This study explores how terrorists utilize the Internet to learn bomb-making skills. Unlike previous studies, it does not focus on assessing the quality of online bomb recipes. Rather, it discusses the efforts being made ... -
Extraction and classification of vehicles in LADAR imagery
(2013)The work presented in this paper is based on a dataset recorded with an airborne sensor. It comprises targets like M-60, M-47, M-113, bridge layers, tank retrievers, and trucks in various types of scenes. The background-object ... -
Intracavity trace molecular detection with a broadband mid-IR frequency comb source
(2013)Ultrasensitive detection of methane, isotopic carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, acetylene, and ethylene is performed in the spectral range 2.5–5 μm using intracavity spectroscopy in broadband optical parametric ... -
Genetic characterization of trh positive Vibrio spp. isolated from Norway
(2013)The thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) and/or TDH-related hemolysin (TRH) genes are carried by most virulent Vibrio parahaemolyticus serovars. In Norway, trh+ V. parahaemolyticus constitute 4.4 and 4.5% of the total number ... -
The Recruiter’s Dilemma: Signaling and Terrorist Recruitment Tactics
(2013)How do terrorists recruit? We know much about the profiles and pathways of recruits, but little about the strategies and tactics of recruiters. Such procedures matter because they help determine who joins. I highlight a ... -
Should I Stay or Should I Go? Explaining Variation in Western Jihadists' Choice between Domestic and Foreign Fighting
(2013)This article studies variation in conflict theater choice by Western jihadists in an effort to understand their motivations. Some militants attack at home, whereas others join insurgencies abroad, but few scholars have ... -
The Integration of Trusted Platform Modules into a Tactical Identity Management System
(2013)The use of integrity protection mechanisms from a tactical Identity Management (IdM) system is the focus of this paper. While traditional identity management systems supports authentication, and some also access control, ... -
Energy Partition in Magnetic Reconnection in Earth's Magnetotail
(2013)The partition of energy flux in magnetic reconnection is examined experimentally using Cluster satellite observations of collisionless reconnection in Earth’s magnetotail. In this plasma regime, the dominant component of ... -
Optimization Model for Robust Acquisition Decisions in the Norwegian Armed Forces
(2013)The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) supports the Norwegian Ministry of Defence with quantitative analyses for its long-term defence planning. As part of this activity, FFI has developed a stochastic model ... -
Trusted Service Discovery Through Identity Management
(2013)Service oriented environments face threats from unauthorized clients and fake or compromised services. The threats exist both during service discovery and service invocation, and should be mitigated through the same security ... -
Two medical therapies very effective shortly after high levels of soman poisoning in rats, but only one with universal utility
(2013)A treatment regimen consisting of HI-6, scopolamine, and physostigmine (termed the physostigmine regimen) has been based on the serendipitous discovery that it exerts powerful antidotal effects against high levels of soman ... -
Acoustic seabed classification using QTC IMPACT on single-beam echo sounder data from the Norwegian Channel, northern North Sea
(2013)Sediment mapping is important for understanding the physical processes, the impact of human activity, and the conditions for marine life on the seabed. For this purpose, the seabed classification tool QTC IMPACT analyses ...
