Echinococcus across the north: Current knowledge, future challenges
(2016)Zoonotic Echinococcus spp. cestodes are present in almost all circumpolar nations, and have historically posed a risk to health of indigenous as well as other northern residents. However, surveillance data on both alveolar ... -
EDA Project Modular Lightweight Minesweeping II – deliverable DE 0.7 executive Summary EDA Contract No B-1475-ESM1-GP
(2021-06-07)The main purpose of the European Defence Agency (EDA) project Modular Lightweight Minesweeping II (MLM II) is to improve the technology of the demonstrators for unmanned lightweight modular minesweeping system used in ... -
Effect of composite covering on ballistic fracture damage development in ceramic plates
(2017)This paper describes the damage development in ceramics with and without composite cover during ballistic impact. This is relevant for ceramic inserts in body armor that are often covered with a composite material. To study ... -
The effect of contrast in camouflage patterns on detectability by human observers and CAMAELEON
(2015)Evaluation of signature properties of military equipment is very important. It is crucial to apply the proper method out of many possible approaches, based on amongst others ranking by probability of detection, detection ... -
EFFECT OF COULOMB COLLISIONS ON THE GRAVITATIONAL SETTLING OF LOW AND HIGH FIRST IONIZATION POTENTIAL ELEMENTS
(2013)We model the effect of gravitational settling in the upper chromosphere on O, Fe, Si, and Ne, studying whether Coulomb collisions between ionized low First Ionization Potential (FIP) elements and protons is sufficient to ... -
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 ... -
Effect of naval sonar exposure on killer whales and humpback whales – 3S-2023 cruise report
(2024-04-02)3S (Sea mammals and Sonar Safety) is a multidisciplinary and international collaboration studying how naval sonar affects cetaceans. The goal is to gain information necessary to manage the risk to cetaceans without ... -
Effect of the Series Resistance on the Current Response of a HgCdTe Avalanche Photodiode Under High-intensity Nanosecond Irradiation
(2022-05-10)We investigate the nonlinear signal current response of a Hg0.72Cd0.28Te avalanche photodiode (APD) irradiated by high-intensity, finite-duration laser pulses. At high irradiation levels and/or high gains, carrier-induced ... -
Effect of Tonsillar Herniation on Cyclic CSF Flow Studied with Computational Flow Analysis
(2011)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Chiari I malformation, characterized by tonsils extending below the foramen magnum, has increased CSF velocities compared with those in healthy subjects. Measuring the effect of tonsillar ... -
Effectiveness of forces and C2 in a semi-chaotic environment - an integrating methodology
(2001)The effect of C2 on force effectiveness is given substantial attention over the last decades. However, analysts are still struggling to reflect this effect. This report presents a methodology that reflects the contribution ... -
Effects of Nuclear Weapons
(Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt, 2014-09)Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) has conducted research on the impact of nuclear weapons since its foundation in 1946. Today, the fear of nuclear proliferation, in-cluding nuclear terrorism, remains high. -
Effects of 4-methylimidazole on cerebral glutamate decarboxylase activity and specific GABA receptor binding in mice
(2009)4-Methylimidazole (4MeI) is a tremorogenic and convulsive agent of concern both in human and veterinary toxicology. The in vitro effects of 4MeI (5 μM–20 mM) on cerebral glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) activity and (in ... -
Effects of a 7-days military training exercise on inflammatory biomarkers, serum hepcidin, and iron status
(2013)Background Hepcidin, a peptide that is released into the blood in response to inflammation, prevents cellular iron export and results in declines in iron status. Elevated serum and urinary levels of hepcidin have been ... -
The Effects of a UAV on a Terrestrial MANET
(2018)Technological advances on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous control could make UAVs useful for communication purposes, extending the range and increasing the performance of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs). However, ... -
Effects of contamination of forage with explosives on feeding behaviour in sheep
(2010)The common military explosives TNT, RDX and HMX are distributed in many military training areas, and are thus encountered by large herbivores. We present the first scientific study of large herbivores’ voluntary intake of ... -
Effects of contamination of water with white phosphorus on drinking behavior in sheep
(2010)White phosphorus (WP) is a toxic contaminant found in many military training areas. Wild and domestic herbivores may be exposed to WP through drinking contaminated water. Knowledge of how animals react towards WP is important ... -
Effects of Cultural Diversity on Trust and its Consequences for Team Processes and Outcomes in Ad Hoc Distributed Teams
