Numerical study of spatiotemporal distortions in noncollinear optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers
(2017)
During amplification in a noncollinear optical parametric amplifier the spatial and temporal coordinates of the amplified field are inherently coupled. These couplings or distortions can limit the peak intensity, among ...
A Hybrid Architecture Framework for Simulations in a Service-Oriented Environment
(2017)
Service orientation, and more recently, the notions of cloud technology that service orientation enable, are designed to accommodate the need for flexible enterprise business processes. Through standardized interfaces, a ...
Mitotic catastrophe in BC3H1 cells following yessotoxin exposure
(2017)
The marine toxin yessotoxin (YTX) can cause various cytotoxic effects depending on cell type and cell line. It is well known to trigger distinct mechanisms for programmed cell death which may overlap or cross-talk. The ...
Augmented Lagrangian method for an Euler's elastica based segmentation model that promotes convex contours
(2017)
In this paper, we propose an image segmentation model where an L1 variant of the Euler's elastica energy is used as boundary regularization. An interesting feature of this model lies in its preference for convex segmentation ...
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 ...
Temporal dynamics in microbial soil communities at anthrax carcass sites
(2017)
Background
Anthrax is a globally distributed disease affecting primarily herbivorous mammals. It is caused by the soil-dwelling and spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The dormant B. anthracis spores become ...
Feasibility of a standard for full specification of spectral imager performance
(2017)
The current state of the art of specifying spectral imagers falls short of what is needed. Commercial datasheets do not adequately reflect the performance of hyperspectral imagers offered as standard products. In particular, ...
Military small arms fire in association with acute decrements in lung function
(2017)
Objective After introduction of unleaded ammunition, Norwegian Armed Forces received reports of acute respiratory symptoms in soldiers after exposure to fumes from firing the standard weapon, HK416. The aim of the present ...
Projected area and drag coefficient of high velocity irregular fragments that rotate or tumble
(2017)
3 degrees of freedom (DOF) exterior ballistic computer models are used in fragment studies to calculate individual trajectories of each fragment based on drag coefficient and the projected (presented) area in the direction ...
