Heat stress in chemical protective clothing: porosity and vapour resistance
(2011)
Heat strain in chemical protective clothing is an important factor in industrial and military practice. Various improvements to the clothing to alleviate strain while maintaining protection have been attempted. More recently, ...
Study of the seasonal ozone variations at European high latitudes
(2011)
The geographic area at high latitudes beyond the polar circle is characterized with long darkness during the winter (polar night) and with a long summertime insolation (polar day). Consequentially, the polar vortex is ...
Sensor noise informed representation of hyperspectral data, with benefits for image storage and processing
(2011)
Many types of hyperspectral image processing can benefit from knowledge of noise levels in the data, which can be derived from sensor physics. Surprisingly, such information is rarely provided or exploited. Usually, the ...
MODELING IRON ABUNDANCE ENHANCEMENTS IN THE SLOW SOLAR WIND
(2011)
We have studied the behavior of Fe ions in the slow solar wind, using a fluid model extending from the chromosphere to 1 AU. Emphasis is on elemental "pileup" in the corona, i.e., a region where the Fe density increases ...
O and Ne in an H-He Fast Solar Wind
(2011)
We have studied the abundances and ion fractions of O and Ne in an H-He fast solar wind with emphasis on gravitational settling in the chromosphere and corona. We use a time-dependent numerical model that spans the mid- ...
The Hotel Payload 2 campaign: Overview of NO, O and electron density measurements in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere
(2011)
The ALOMAR eARI Hotel Payload 2 (HotPay 2) rocket campaign took place at Andøya Rocket Range, Norway, in January 2008. The rocket was launched on January 31, 2008 at 19:14 UT, when auroral activity appeared after a long ...
Postnatal exposure to PCB 153 and PCB 180, but not to PCB 52, produces changes in measures of attention, activity level and impulsivity in outbred male Wistar Kyoto rats
(2011)
Background
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of organic compounds that bioaccumulate due to their chemical stability and lipophilic properties. Humans are prenatally exposed via trans-placental transfer, ...
Increasing the Lifetime of Roadside Sensor Networks Using Edge-Betweenness Clustering
(2011)
Wireless Sensor Networks are proven highly successful in many areas, including military and security monitoring. In this paper, we propose a method to use the edge-betweenness community detection algorithm to determine ...
Clostridium botulinum Group I Strain Genotyping by 15-Locus Multilocus Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat Analysis
(2011)
Clostridium botulinum is a taxonomic designation that encompasses a broad variety of spore-forming, Gram-positive bacteria producing the botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). C. botulinum is the etiologic agent of botulism, a rare ...
Systemic Chemical Desensitization of Peptidergic Sensory Neurons with Resiniferatoxin Inhibits Experimental Periodontitis
(2011)
Background and objective:
The immune system is an important player in the pathophysiology of periodontitis. The brain controls immune responses via neural and hormonal pathways, and brain-neuro-endocrine dysregulation ...
