Assessing Islamic State’s Commitment to Attacking the West
(2015)How much of a terrorist threat does the Islamic State (IS) pose to Western countries? This article looks at what IS has said and done with regard to attacks in the West. We examine IS statements and take stock of IS-related ... -
Assessing protection of civilians in military operations
(2014-12-15)In today’s conflicts, military forces are frequently expected to protect civilians from threats of physical violence. Successful protection is now considered important to ensure local and international legitimacy and in ... -
Assessment of intake of copper and lead by sheep grazing on a shooting range for small arms: a case study.
(2018-04-11)The Norwegian Armed Forces’ shooting ranges contain contamination by metals such as lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) and are often used as grazing pastures for livestock. To determine whether the sheep were at risk from grazing ... -
Assessment of the dispersion of Legionella-containing aerosols from a biological treatment plant
(2011)Legionella was detected in aeration ponds (biological treatment plant) at Borregaard Ind. Ltd., Norway, and in air samples harvested directly above these ponds. Since 2005, three outbreaks of legionellosis occurred within ... -
Assessment of the impact of wastewater and sewage sludge treatment methods on antimicrobial resistance. Scientific opinion of the Panel on Microbial Ecology of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment
(2020-10-01)The request from NFSA and NEA: Antimicrobial agents and microorganisms are introduced to sewage systems by different human activities, from private homes, institutions such as schools and hospitals, office buildings, ... -
Atommateriale, gass og mikrober som terrorvåpen? - en undersøkelse av terrorgruppers interesse for og bruk av ikke-konvensjonelle våpen
(2002)This report analyses empirical evidence of terrorist and rebel groups’ efforts at acquiring and using chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) substances as ‘weapons’. The significant technical and ... -

An ATR architecture for algorithm development and testing
(2013)A research platform with four cameras in the infrared and visible spectral domains is under development at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI). The platform will be mounted on a high-speed jet aircraft and ... -
Attainment of goals for the Norwegian led provincial reconstruction team in Faryab - an assessment
(2014-02-11)This work addresses the question: “Did we achieve what we planned to do in Faryab?”. The plans for the Norwegian-led Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Maimanah in Faryab province in Afghanistan is used as a basis ... -
Augmented Lagrangian method for an Euler's elastica based segmentation model that promotes convex contours
(2017)In this paper, we propose an image segmentation model where an L1 variant of the Euler's elastica energy is used as boundary regularization. An interesting feature of this model lies in its preference for convex segmentation ... -
Augmenting Radar Doppler Resolution with Neural Networks
(2021-12-08)In order to generate high-resolution Doppler profiles a radar needs to emit a large number of pulses within a coherent processing interval (CPI). For a radar operating in demanding scenarios it can be difficult to sustain ... -
Autokalibrering av kamera ved bruk av rotasjon og vinkelmåling
(2015-06-05)Dette arbeidet er utført med tanke på kameraer som skal brukes for Augmented Reality (AR). AR innebærer at man viser virtuell informasjon plassert på korrekt sted i en reell scene. For å få til dette, må man vite hvor ... -
Automatic detection of marine gas seeps using an interferometric sidescan sonar
(2016)There is a significant need for reliable, cost-effective, and preferably automatic methods for detecting and monitoring marine gas seeps. Seeps at the seafloor may originate from natural sources including sediments releasing ... -
