Enhancing far-field thermal emission with thermal extraction
(2013)
The control of thermal radiation is of great current importance for applications such as energy conversions and radiative cooling. Here we show theoretically that the thermal emission of a finite-size blackbody emitter can ...
Formation of a large submarine crack during the final stage of retrogressive mass wasting on the continental slope offshore northern Norway
(2013)
High-resolution swath-bathymetry data integrated with sub-bottom profiles and single-channel seismics reveal an 18 km long, up to 1000 m wide and 10–15 m deep crack located approx. 4 km upslope from a slide scar on 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 ...
The social context of individual foraging behaviour in long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas)
(2014)
Long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) are highly social cetaceans that live in matrilineal groups and acquire their prey during deep foraging dives. We tagged individual pilot whales to record their diving behaviour. ...
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 ...
Geolocation and Stereo Height estimation Using TerraSAR-X Spotlight Image Data
(2011)
We have studied the geographic position of several high-resolution spotlight TSX images by investigating the location of deployed radar corner reflectors. Results show that the geolocation accuracy is better than 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 ...
