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 ... -
User-defined access to situation information services : an experiment
(2004)In a Network Based Defence, the ability for the user to dynamically select information sources will be critical. Information services will be published in the infostructure, ready to be utilized by anyone interested. In ... -
Usikkerhet i dybdegrid
(2023-05-04)Den norske kontinentalsokkelen og territorialfarvannene våre har gjennom mange år blitt detaljkartlagt. Kartleggingen er gjort av både Kartverket, Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt (FFI) og private kartleggingsselskap. Den ... -
Using a genetic algorithm to solve the troops-to-tasks problem in military operations planning
(2017)The troops-to-tasks analysis in military operational planning is the process where the military staff investigates who should do what, where, and when in the operation. In this paper, we describe a genetic algorithm for ... -
Using atmospheric weather models to improve radar measured altitude
(2020-08-19)This report discusses how the atmosphere affects radar and barometric measurement of altitudes of airborne vessels. One may transform each kind of measurement to a corrected dataset in units of meters using atmospheric ... -
Using genetic algorithms with variable-length chromosomes in radar detector scan schedule optimization
(2023-03-10)The process of designing a radar detector scan schedule is inherently one of compromise and problem specific prioritization. Tuning such a schedule to the problem at hand tends to happen iteratively. This is characterized ... -
Using Low-Cost Radar Sensors and Action Cameras to Measure Inter-Vehicle Distances in Real-World Truck Platooning
(2023-05-06)Many modern vehicles collect inter-vehicle distance data from radar sensors as input to driver assistance systems. However, vehicle manufacturers often use proprietary algorithms to conceal the collected data, making them ... -
Using Open Standards for Utilizing IoT Sensors in a Smart City Scenario
(2018)Although the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in a smart city context primarily stems from civilian applications like management and monitoring, there are also other uses. For instance, military forces may utilize ... -
Using Publish/Subscribe for Short-lived IoT Data
(2018-09-12)Although the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in a smart city context primarily stems from civilian applications like management and monitoring, there are also other uses. For instance, military forces may utilize ... -
Using stereo SAR and InSAR by combining the COSMO-SkyMed and the TanDEM-X mission satellites for estimation of absolute height
(2013)The objective of this work is to estimate absolute height in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferograms. Since height in interferograms is relative, we use stereo SAR with several satellites to achieve absolute height ... -
