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 ...
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 ...
Multiple episodes of fluid flow in the SW Barents Sea (Loppa High) evidenced by gas flares, pockmarks and gas hydrate accumulation
(2012)
Gas and gas hydrates have gained considerable attention in the last 20 yr due to their possible impact on global climate change from methane escalations. Our study area, the SW Barents Sea, is unique in its evolution due ...
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 ...
Low-energy enhancement of nuclear γ strength and its impact on astrophysical reaction rates
(2014)
An unexpected enhancement in the low-energy part of the γ-strength function for light and medium-mass nuclei has been discovered at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory. This enhancement could lead to an increase in the neutron-capture ...
Islamic State Nasheeds As Messaging Tools
(2016)
Although jihadi nasheeds play an important role in the Islamic State's propaganda, there is scant literature on the topic. This article is an exploratory study on seventeen Islamic State nasheeds released between December ...
A new method for underwater archaeological surveying using sensors and unmanned platforms
(2016)
As most of the world’s oceans are inaccessible to diving archaeologists, we must rely on advanced underwater technology and marine robotics to explore, map and investigate ship wrecks in these areas. New sensors and unmanned ...
The Multivariate Normal Inverse Gaussian distribution: EM-estimation and analysis of synthetic aperture sonar data
(2015)
The heavy-tailed Multivariate Normal Inverse Gaussian (MNIG)
distribution is a recent variance-mean mixture of a multivariate
Gaussian with a univariate inverse Gaussian distribution. Due to
the complexity of the ...
A Compressed Sensing Based Design for Formation of Range-Doppler Maps
(2016)
Compressed sensing (CS) based reconstruction methods have been in much focus over the last years as they provide a mean to work with limited amount of data. In this article we present an application of CS and sparse ...
D2.1 Scenario template, existing CBRN scenarios and historical incidents
(2011)
The overall aim of the project “Preparedness and Resilience Against CBRN Terrorism using Integrated
Concepts and Equipment” (PRACTICE) is to improve the ability to respond to and recover from a Chemical (C),
Biological ...
