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
(2011)This quasi-experimental study explores trust as a mediator, explaining how cultural diversity may affect team processes and outcomes in distributed ad hoc teams. Data were collected both through self-report and direct ... -
Effects of exercise mode, energy, and macronutrientinterventions on inflammation during military training
(2016)Load carriage (LC) exercise may exacerbate inflammation during training. Nutritional supplementation may mitigate this response by sparing endogenous carbohydrate stores, enhancing glycogen repletion, and attenuating ... -
Effects of heavy metals from outdoor shooting ranges on aquatic organisms
(2010)Metals deposited in shooting ranges (Pb, Zn, Cu and Sb) can affect fish health, fish populations and fish communities through a wide spectrum of mechanisms. In the current report the literature on the mechanisms of metal ... -
Effects of Infliximab and Hydrocortisone on In Vitro Cytokine Responses after Stimulation with Lipopolysaccharide
(2013)Background: Both glucocorticosteroids and biologic drugs such as the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antagonist infliximab are used often in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease. In severe ... -
Effects of naval sonar on seals
(2010)There is a growing concern that active military sonars might injure or harm marine mammals. We have therefore done controlled exposure experiments on captive hooded seals to investigate behavioral, physiological and possible ... -
Effects of Supplemental Energy on Protein Balance during 4-d Arctic Military Training
(2016)Soldiers often experience negative energy balance during military operations that diminish whole-body protein retention, even when dietary protein is consumed within recommended levels (1.5-2.0 g[middle dot]kg-1[middle ... -
Effects of trust, structure and processes on effectiveness in a military organization: exploring a moderated mediation model
(2021-03-05)Purpose The purpose of this study is to better understand the consequences of trust between personnel at different hierarchical levels for organizational effectiveness. The authors aim to explore the direct effects and ... -
Effects-based approach to operations - teori og kobling mot nettverksbasert forsvar og manøverteori
(2008)Krigen i Georgia viser at Russland er villig til å bruke makt mot et naboland når forholdene ligger til rette for det. Den viser at Russland er i stand til å gjennomføre effektive operasjoner med høy intensitet, men også ... -
Effekten av støttenettverk
(2008)Formålet med denne pilotstudien er å studere effekten av støttenettverk. Mer eksakt er det ønskelig å undersøke hvorvidt delegering til støttenettverk kan bidra til økt operativ effekt og eventuelt under hvilke forutsetninger ... -
Effekter av eksplosiver på vannlevende organismer
(2008)Grenseverdier for beskyttelse av vannlevende organismer har blitt beregnet for de viktigste eksplosivene (TNT, RDX, HMX, TNB) og deres nedbrytningsprodukter. Grenseverdiene baserer seg på akutte og kroniske toksisitetsdata ...
