High pulse energy and symmetrical far field from an optical parametric oscillator in the red spectral range
(2011)
Red pulses with >30 mJ energy and <0.6 nm bandwidth have been demonstrated using a type 2 phase matched optical parametric oscillator pumped at 532 nm. A symmetrical signal beam with beam diameter-divergence product of ~3 ...
Right-Wing Terrorism and Violence in Western Europe: Introducing the RTV Datase
(2016)
What is the record of right-wing terrorism and violence (RTV) in Western Europe post-1990? To date, RTV
incident data suitable for temporal and cross-national comparisons have been lacking. Consequently, few
comparative ...
Converting the Iranian heavy water reactor IR-40 to a more proliferation-resistant reactor
(2012)
This article assesses the feasibility and benefits of converting the Iranian heavy water research reactor, IR-40, from using natural uranium to low-enriched uranium fuel. Based on neutronics calculations for a detailed ...
Bayesian seabed classification using angle-dependent backscatter data from multibeam echo sounders
(2014)
Acoustical seabed classification is a technology for mapping seabed sediments. Processed multibeam sonar data yield the variation of the seabed scattering strength with incidence angle, and this paper examines the effect ...
OmpU as a biomarker for rapid discrimination between toxigenic and epidemic Vibrio cholerae O1/O139 and non-epidemic Vibrio cholerae in a modified MALDI-TOF MS assay
(2014)
Background
Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae. Outbreaks are caused by a genetically homogenous group of strains from serogroup O1 or O139 that are able to produce the cholera toxin. Rapid ...
Real-time PCR and NASBA for rapid and sensitive detection of Vibrio cholerae in ballast water
(2012)
Transport of ballast water is one major factor in the transmission of aquatic organisms, including pathogenic bacteria. The IMO-guidelines of the Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and ...
Comparison of terahertz technologies for detection and identification of explosives
(2014)
We present results on the comparison of different THz technologies for the detection and identification of a variety of explosives from our laboratory tests that were carried out in the framework of NATO SET-193 “THz ...
Effect of Tonsillar Herniation on Cyclic CSF Flow Studied with Computational Flow Analysis
(2011)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Chiari I malformation, characterized by tonsils extending below the foramen magnum, has increased CSF velocities compared with those in healthy subjects. Measuring the effect of tonsillar ...
A Comprehensive Simulation Methodology for Fluid-Structure Interaction of Offshore Wind Turbines
(2014)
This paper gives an overview of a comprehensive simulation methodology for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of offshore wind turbines that is being developed at the Applied Mathematics Department of SINTEF ICT. The ...
SYSIPHE system: A state of the art airborne hyperspectral imaging system. Initial results from the first airborne campaign
(2014)
SYSIPHE is an airborne hyperspectral imaging system, result of a cooperation between France (Onera and DGA) and Norway (NEO and FFI). It is a unique system by its spatial sampling -0.5m with a 500m swath at a ground height ...
