The unrealised case of NATO-CSTO cooperation - explanations and prospects
(2007)Den kollektive sikkerhetsorganisasjonen Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO, bestående av Russland, Hviterussland, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kirgisistan, Tadsjikistan og Uzbekistan) har ved flere anledninger foreslått ... -
An upper-bound metric for characterizing spectral and spatial coregistration errors in spectral imaging
(2012)Coregistration errors in multi- and hyperspectral imaging sensors arise when the spatial sensitivity pattern differs between bands or when the spectral response varies across the field of view, potentially leading to large ... -
Uptake and effects of 2, 4, 6 - trinitrotoluene (TNT) in juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(2017)Organ specific uptake and depuration, and biological effects in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) were studied. Two experiments were conducted, the first using radiolabeled TNT (14C-TNT, ... -

(2015-11-15)Denne rapporten gir en innføring i kjernekraftproduksjon og kjernevåpenutvikling. Rapporten er ment som støtte på det tekniske området for diplomater, politikere og rådgivere som har behov for å forstå innholdet i eller ... -
Uranium enrichment technologies
(2009)The enrichment of uranium has taken place since World War II, initiated by the quest for the atomic bomb to win the war. To enrich uranium means to separate the two main isotopes that make up natural uranium (U-235 and ... -
Urban Terrorism in the Arab World: Introducing a Dataset of Jihadist Attack Plots in Jordan
(2021-09-21)Few regions have been more plagued by terrorism than the Arab world. However, knowledge of the phenomenon’s nature is limited by a lack of attack plot data for most Arab countries. This article contributes to addressing ... -
The use of Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) as a bioindicator for studies on effect of dumped chemical warfare agents in Skagerrak. 1: Liver histopathology.
(2020)Within the framework of the international project DAIMON (Decision Aid for Marine Munitions), the impact of dumped chemical munitions on fish health was investigated. The Skagerrak Straight (North Sea, at 600 m depth) ... -
The use of Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) as a bioindicator species for studies on effects of dumped chemical warfare agents in the Skagerrak. 2. Biochemical biomarkers
(2020)The sea bottom of the Skagerrak Strait (North Sea) contains munitions loaded with chemical warfare agents (CWA), mostly stored in shipwrecks scuttled intentionally after the end of the World War II. The munition shells ... -
The use of chemicals as agents of war
(2023-04-18)Military forces have used chemicals for centuries. This includes the use of chemical weapons, which appeared on battlefields throughout the 20th century, fentanyl as a “knock-out gas” in an anti-terror operation in Russia ... -
Use of commercial aerial photography and satellite images during exercise "Strong Resolve"
(2004)Elevated sensors with imaging capabilities have been used by the military for approximately 150 years. Cameras onboard balloons, airplanes and satellites have given information of vital importance to different nations ... -
Use of n-vector for radar applications
(2018)This paper aims to alert the radar community about the benefits of using n-vector for representing global horizontal position. Unlike other alternatives, n-vector position calculations are simple, vectorized and exact at ... -
The use of synthetic aperture sonar to survey seafloor massive sulfide deposits
(2015)With the advent of advanced deep sea mining technology, seafloor mining is poised to begin on a global scale. For the success of any mining operation, it is crucial that both the operators and regulatory bodies possess ... -
