First indications that northern bottlenose whales are sensitive to behavioural disturbance from anthropogenic noise
(2015)
Although northern bottlenose whales were the most heavily hunted beaked whale, we have little information about this species in its remote habitat of the North Atlantic Ocean. Underwater anthropogenic noise and disruption ...
Simulation of natural fragmentation of rings cut from warheads
(2015)
Natural fragmentation of warheads that detonates causes the casing of the warhead to split into various sized fragments through shear or radial fractures depending on the toughness, density, and grain size of the material. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Laboratory analysis of CBRN-substances: Stakeholder networks as clue to higher CBRN resilience in Europe
(2016)
The threat of terrorists using CBRN agents continues to pose a risk of mass casualties and severe disruption of societal functions in Europe. Standardisation of crisis management activities is one important step towards ...
Hyperosmolar sodium chloride is toxic to cultured neurons and causes reduction of glucose metabolism and ATP levels, an increase in glutamate uptake, and a reduction in cytosolic calcium
(2016)
Elevation of serum sodium, hypernatremia, which may occur during dehydration or treatment with sodium chloride, may cause brain dysfunction and damage, but toxic mechanisms are poorly understood. We found that exposure to ...
Characterization of Variable Density 3D Printed Materials for Broadband GRIN Lenses
(2017)
In this work we design, simulate, manufacture and measure blocks made of variable density plastic. The density is controlled through varying the size of small cubes at the intersections of a fine grid. This structure is ...
Forest classes and tree cover gradient: tick habitat in encroached areas of southern Norway
(2015-12-21)
Forest, in particular deciduous forest, is a key element in determining areas with a high probability of tick presence. The way forest is generally monitored may be ill suited to some landscapes where Ixodes ricinus is ...
