Converting the Iranian heavy water reactor IR-40 to a more proliferation-resistant reactor
(2012)This article assesses the feasibility and benefits of converting the Iranian heavy water research reactor, IR-40, from using natural uranium to low-enriched uranium fuel. Based on neutronics calculations for a detailed ... -
Convex Variational Methods on Graphs for Multiclass Segmentation of High-Dimensional Data and Point Clouds
(2017)Graph-based variational methods have recently shown to be highly competitive for various classification problems of high-dimensional data, but are inherently difficult to handle from an optimization perspective. This ... -
Cooling and rewarming of hands of military conscripts
(2022-11-01)The key to successful cold weather operations is among others to maintain soldiers’ manual dexterity and tactile sensation. Cooling of the hands leads to loss of manual dexterity, and reduces operational capacity. This ... -
Cooperative Caching in Space Information Networks
(2022-05-22)Members of a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite group need to coordinate their activities in order to improve the quality and timeliness of the services provided to terrestrial clients. As a report from a work in progress, ... -

(2016-12-20)This report provides an overview of results and recommendations within the area of serviceoriented architecture (SOA) from FFI project 1277 Information and integration services in the information infrastructure. The ... -
Correlation between sediment properties and seafloor characterization maps based on multibeam backscatter data from three regions off the coast of Norway
(2017)Multibeam echo sounder data from Kongsberg EM 1002 and EM 710 (70– 100 kHz) acquired between 2003 and 2014 were processed using QPS Fledermaus Geocoder Toolbox (FMGT) to produce backscatter mosaics and maps of estimated ... -
Correlations between sound speed and density in seabed sediment cores collected in Norwegian waters
(2022-08-08)In modelling of underwater sound propagation, knowledge about the seabed’s acoustic properties is essential, especially sound speed and density. These two properties are highly correlated, and standard empirical regressions ... -
Cost disease in defense and public administration: Baumol and politics
(2018)William Baumol’s model predicts a steady increase in relative public sector prices (or costs) because of the combination of slow productivity growth and wage growth similar to sectors wherein productivity is growing more ... -
Cost-Effective Flight Strategy for Aerial Thermography Inspection of Photovoltaic Power Plants
(2022-11-06)Thermography from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is widely used for module condition surveys and defect detection in solar (photovoltaic) power plants. This article presents an optimized defect inspection procedure in which ... -
Counter biological and chemical terrorism - WP6000: emergency preparedness and response
(2009)This report describes the results of Work Package (WP) 6000 “Exchange information concerning the organisation in Europe to treat the problem” of the European Defence Agency (EDA) project “Counter Biological and Chemical ... -
Counter biological and chemical terrorism - WP8000: conclusions and recommendations
(2009)This report constitutes an unclassified summary of the main results and conclusions of the European Defence Agency project “Counter Biological and Chemical Terrorism”, EDA-0156-GEM3-ERG. The overall objective has been is ... -
Counterinsurgency - when theory meets reality - seminar report
(2009)This report is the end-product of a one-day seminar on counterinsurgency (COIN) arranged by the Norwegian MNE-6 Working Group. Hence, the majority of arguments presented in the report are primarily based on viewpoints ... -
Counterinsurgency Field Manual 3-24 and operations
(2009)The purpose of this report is fourfold. The first is to highlight the key tenets of FM 3-24. The idea that sets counterinsurgency apart from conventional military operations – that it is more important to secure the host ... -
Country survey: military expenditure and defence policy in Norway 1970?2013
(2017)This article examines military expenditure and defence policy in Norway from 1970 to 2013. Until 1990 Norwegian military expenditure remained between 2.5 and 3.0 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Despite constant ... -
