Cascade dynamics of thermomagnetic avalanches in superconducting films with holes
(2015)
The submicrosecond dynamics of thermomagnetic avalanches in superconducting films with nonconducting holes (antidots) is considered. When such an avalanche reaches a hole, it is quickly filled with magnetic flux, and often ...
Curing of Glycidyl Azide Polymer (GAP) diol using isocyanate, isocyanate-free, synchronous dual, and sequential dual curing systems
(2015)
Glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) is an important energetic
binder candidate for new minimum signature solid composite rocket propellants, but the mechanical properties of such GAP propellants are often limited. The mechanical ...
Compressed Sensing for Multistatic Radar Systems with Arbitrary Block Codes
(2015)
Multistatic radar systems with multiple elements at transmitting and/or receiving side permit multiple target observations from different viewpoints providing various advantageous. In an environment with multiple transmitters ...
Analysis of detection performance of incoherent range walk compensation for passive radar
(2015)
This paper analyzes the performance of an incoherent range walk compensation
method for passive radar systems. The method utilizes the velocity information in
the range-Doppler map, and no detection before compensation ...
The Effect of Internal Wave-Related Features on Synthetic Aperture Sonar
(2015)
In October 2012, the Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE, La Spezia, Italy) conducted trials from the NATO research vessel (RV) Alliance, off Elba Island, Italy. During this trial, data were collected ...
Military Innovation Under Authoritarian Government – the Case of Russian Special Operations Forces
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-08-26)
Russian Special Forces saw significant changes to both organization and doctrine in the years after 2008. The special forces of the General Staff’s Main Intelligence Directorate were reduced in number, the organization’s ...
Selective adsorption of lead, copper and antimony in runoff water from a small arms shooting range with a combination of charcoal and iron hydroxide
(2015)
Metals and metalloids from ammunition residues at small arms shooting ranges leach into the soil and surrounding watercourses and may pose a threat to exposed wildlife and humans. To reduce the potential impact of heavy ...
Chemoselective O-acylation of hydroxyamino acids and amino alcohols under acidic reaction conditions: History, scope and applications
(2015)
Amino acids, whether natural, semisynthetic or synthetic, are among the most important and useful chiral building blocks available for organic chemical synthesis. In principle, they can function as inexpensive, chiral and ...
Temporal stability of X-band single-pass InSAR heights in a spruce forest: Effects of acquisition properties and season
(2015)
We investigated the stability of TanDEM-X interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) heights across eight repeated acquisitions. With InSAR height we mean the height above ground of the scattering phase center. We ...
Uniform semiglobal exponential stability of integral line-of-sight guidance laws
(2015)
This paper proves that an integral line-of-sight guidance law for path following control of underactuated marine vessels provides uniform semiglobal exponential stability. The stability result is stronger than what has ...
