Pilot Whales Attracted to Killer Whale Sounds: Acoustically-Mediated Interspecific Interactions in Cetaceans
(2012)
In cetaceans’ communities, interactions between individuals of different species are often observed in the wild. Yet, due to methodological and technical challenges very little is known about the mediation of these ...
Changes in dive behavior during sonar exposure in killer whales, pilot whales and sperm whales.
(2012)
Anthropogenic underwater sound in the environment might potentially affect the behavior of marine mammals enough to have an impact on their reproduction and survival. Diving behavior of four killer whales (Orcinus orca), ...
250-MHz synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator at 2.25–2.6 μm and 4.1–4.9 μm
(2012)
A compact and versatile femtosecond mid-IR source is presented, based on an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) synchronously pumped by a commercial 250-MHz Er:fiber laser. The mid-IR spectrum can be tuned in the range ...
Estimating the capture and loss of cold plasma from ionospheric outflow
(2012)
An important source of magnetospheric plasma is cold plasma from the terrestrial ionosphere. Low energy ions travel along the magnetic field lines and enter the magnetospheric lobes where they are convected toward the tail ...
Comparing VO2max Improvement in Five Training Methods
(2012)
This paper presents a theoretical study comparing the improvement of the whole body
maximum oxygen uptake (maximum aerobic power or VO2max) when training at different
intensities and with different methods matched for ...
BAKTRAK: Backtracking drifting objects using an iterative algorithm with a forward trajectory model
(2012)
The task of determining the origin of a drifting object after it has been located is highly complex due to the uncertainties in drift properties and environmental forcing (wind, waves, and surface currents). Usually, the ...
Behavioural responses of cetaceans to naval signals in Norwegian waters - the 3S-2012 cruise report
(2012-11-01)
Marine mammals are sensitive to sound in their environment and there is a continuing need to quantify the sensitivity of the animals to behavioural disturbance, in order to regulate the use of powerful anthropogenic sound ...

Review of blast injury prediction models
(2012-03-14)
Methods for predicting human injury from shock waves are studied in detail. The theoretical
foundation of the Bowen and Bass lethality curves is examined and the basic hypotheses of the
models are studied numerically. ...
