Generative Adversarial Immitation Learning for Steering an Unmanned Surface Vehicle
(2020-02)
The task of obstacle avoidance using maritime vessels, such as Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV), has traditionally been solved using specialized modules that are designed and optimized separately. However, this approach ...
Specifying radiometric performance of hyperspectral and conventional cameras: A minimal set of independent characteristics
(2020)
The radiometric performance of cameras is customarily characterized and specified in terms of component properties such as F-number and readout noise. This paper considers the camera as an integrated unit and derives ...
Modeling and Simulation as a Service infrastructure capabilities for discovery, composition and execution of simulation services
(2020-01-13)
Modeling and Simulation as a Service (MSaaS) embodies the idea that simulations should be composed quickly for the task at hand from loosely coupled shared components, simulation services, in a cloud-based environment. ...
Parameter selection in a fully adaptive tracking radar
(2020-04-27)
A fully adaptive radar framework has been proposed in recent publications, and this paper will implement the framework for a tracking radar. A set of cost functions are developed to balance the performance cost of the track ...
Ship source level estimation and uncertainty quantification in shallow water via Bayesian marginalization
(2020-04-17)
This paper applies a non-linear Bayesian marginalization approach to ship spectral source level estimation in shallow water with unknown seabed properties and uncertain source depth. The algorithm integrates the posterior ...
The Importance of Significant Others in Preventing Extremism: The Philosophy and Practice of the Swedish Tolerance Project
(2020)
This article concerns a specific educational programme to reduce recruitment to racist and extreme organizations in Sweden. The programme is called the Tolerance Project, and it functions as an elective course offered to ...
Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghrib’s Expansion in the Sahara: New Insights from Primary Sources
(2020-09-24)
Although originating in Algeria, AQIM and its allies had by 2012 become so entrenched in the Sahel that they were in de-facto control of vast swathes of territory in northern Mali. This article explains how and why GSPC/AQIM ...
Coherent high-speed acoustic communication inside a commercial atlantic salmon pen
(2020-06-07)
Fish telemetry is a potential method to monitor the well-being of farmed fish, where a reference group of fish are equipped with sensors tags that oversee their health and wirelessly transmit the data. Many fish must be ...
Variability of Gaseous Attenuation at Very Low Elevation Angle Slant Paths; Measurements and Modelling
(2020-07-08)
Gaseous attenuation variability for a 3.2° elevation angle satellite link operating at 20 GHz in the Norwegian Arctic is analyzed and compared with different models. At a very low elevation link like this one, gaseous ...
Energy deficit increases hepcidin and exacerbates declines in dietary iron absorption following strenuous physical activity: a randomized-controlled cross-over trial
(2020-11-12)
Background
Strenuous physical activity promotes inflammation and depletes muscle glycogen, which may increase the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin. Hepcidin reduces dietary iron absorption and may contribute to declines ...
