Spin scan tomographic imager
(2015)A novel imaging device based on tomographic reconstruction is presented. The imager is based on rotating an image of the scene onto a linear detector array, and then reconstructing a 2-dimensional image from the detector ... -
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 ... -
Bispyridinium compounds inhibit both muscle and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in human cell lines
(2015)Standard treatment of poisoning by organophosphorus anticholinesterases uses atropine to reduce the muscarinic effects of acetylcholine accumulation and oximes to reactivate acetylcholinesterase (the effectiveness of which ... -
Mobile information platforms in the military domain
(2015)his paper presents a preliminary study of attitude, compatibility, effort and performance expectancy for potential use of mobile information platforms, like smartphones and pads, in the military domain. Although mobile ... -
Studying the time trend of Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Norway by use of non-stationary γ-Poisson distributions
(2015)Objectives Study the time development of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and forecast future behaviour. The major question: Is the number of MRSA isolates in Norway increasing and will it continue to ... -
Superb Winter fur insulation in small Siberian musk deer (Moschus moschiferus)
(2015)We compared the morphology and thermal characteristics of winter pelage from two Siberian musk deer Moschus moschiferus (aged 5 and 41 mo.; 5.7 and 9.5 kg) and two Eurasian reindeer Rangifer tarandus tarandus (aged >48 ... -
Investigation of Theoretical Models for the Elastic Stiffness of Nanoparticle-Modified Polymer Composites
(2015)Mathematical models are investigated and suggested for the calculation of the elastic stiffness of polymer nanocomposites. Particular emphasis is placed on the effect on the elastic stiffness from agglomerates and the ... -
Regulation of CCN1 (Cyr61) in a porcine model of intestinal ischemia/reperfusion
(2015)Intestinal ischemia is a serious condition that may lead to both local and systemic inflammatory responses. Restoration of blood supply (reperfusion) to ischemic tissues often increases the extent of the tissue injury. ... -
Radar sensitivity to human heartbeats and respiration
(2015)Human heartbeats and respiration can be detected from a distance using radar. This can be used for medical applications and human being detection. It is useful to have a system independent measure of how detectable the ... -
Trust Management in Cross Domain Operations
(2015)Protocols for communication across security domains need to be evaluated against their architectural properties, not only their security properties. The protocols have connectivity and capacity requirements, they have ... -
Lifetime distributions from tracking individual BC3H1 cells subjected to yessotoxin
(2015)This work shows examples of lifetime distributions for individual BC3H1 cells after start of exposure to the marine toxin yessotoxin (YTX) in an experimental dish. The present tracking of many single cells from time-lapse ... -
Cascade dynamics of thermomagnetic avalanches in superconducting films with holes
(2015)The submicrosecond dynamics of thermomagnetic avalanches in superconducting films with nonconducting holes (antidots) is considered. When such an avalanche reaches a hole, it is quickly filled with magnetic flux, and often ... -
Curing of Glycidyl Azide Polymer (GAP) diol using isocyanate, isocyanate-free, synchronous dual, and sequential dual curing systems
(2015)Glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) is an important energetic binder candidate for new minimum signature solid composite rocket propellants, but the mechanical properties of such GAP propellants are often limited. The mechanical ... -
Compressed Sensing for Multistatic Radar Systems with Arbitrary Block Codes
(2015)Multistatic radar systems with multiple elements at transmitting and/or receiving side permit multiple target observations from different viewpoints providing various advantageous. In an environment with multiple transmitters ... -
Analysis of detection performance of incoherent range walk compensation for passive radar
(2015)This paper analyzes the performance of an incoherent range walk compensation method for passive radar systems. The method utilizes the velocity information in the range-Doppler map, and no detection before compensation ... -
The Effect of Internal Wave-Related Features on Synthetic Aperture Sonar
(2015)In October 2012, the Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE, La Spezia, Italy) conducted trials from the NATO research vessel (RV) Alliance, off Elba Island, Italy. During this trial, data were collected ... -
Selective adsorption of lead, copper and antimony in runoff water from a small arms shooting range with a combination of charcoal and iron hydroxide
(2015)Metals and metalloids from ammunition residues at small arms shooting ranges leach into the soil and surrounding watercourses and may pose a threat to exposed wildlife and humans. To reduce the potential impact of heavy ... -
Chemoselective O-acylation of hydroxyamino acids and amino alcohols under acidic reaction conditions: History, scope and applications
(2015)Amino acids, whether natural, semisynthetic or synthetic, are among the most important and useful chiral building blocks available for organic chemical synthesis. In principle, they can function as inexpensive, chiral and ... -
Temporal stability of X-band single-pass InSAR heights in a spruce forest: Effects of acquisition properties and season
(2015)We investigated the stability of TanDEM-X interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) heights across eight repeated acquisitions. With InSAR height we mean the height above ground of the scattering phase center. We ...
