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 ...
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 ...
A new standard for predicting lung injury inflicted by Friedlander blast waves
(2016)
An important blast injury mechanism is the rupture of the lungs and the gastrointestinal tract. In explosives safety studies and threat analysis the empirical model of Bowen is often used to quantify this mechanism. The ...
Mathematical relations related to the lode parameter for studies of ductility
(2016)
During plastic flow, hydrostatic pressure and plastic strain control the size of the
yield surface while the Lode angle is responsible for its shape. The von Mises
yield condition shows no dependency of the Lode angle ...
From F-16 to F-35 - Optimizing the Training of Pilots in the Royal Norwegian Air Force
(2016)
The Norwegian Armed Forces will soon make the largest investment in its history. It plans to spend $8 billion to replace the Royal Norwegian Air Force’s existing fleet of F-16 aircraft with 52 new F-35 aircraft. The Norwegian ...
Pretreatment and prophylaxis against nerve agent poisoning: are undesirable behavioral side effects unavoidable?
(2016)
The threat of chemical warfare agents like nerve agents requires life saving measures of medical pretreatment combined with treatment after exposure. Pretreatment (pyridostigmine) may cause some side effects in a small ...
Jihadism in Norway: a Typology of Militant Networks in a Peripheral European Country
(2016)
Jihadism in Norway has witnessed a huge shift from consisting primarily of foreign ethnically homogenous networks with a low capacity for mobilization, to the current situation where a loose country-wide network of domestic ...
Uniformly stable wavelets on nonuniform triangulations
(2016)
In this paper we construct linear, uniformly stable, wavelet-like functions on arbitrary triangulations. As opposed to standard wavelets, only local orthogonality is required for the wavelet-like functions. Nested ...
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 ...
