Accumulation of copper and lead in ruminants grazing on a contaminated shooting range in Nordland County, Norway
(2024)Shooting ranges contain copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) contamination, which can be a risk for grazing ruminants. This study examines the accumulation of lead and copper in blood of lambs and calves, as well as in the liver of ... -
The characteristics of successful military IT projects: a cross-country empirical study
(2023)In the armed forces, successful digitalizationis crucial to ensure effective operations. Much of the existing literature on project factors during the planning and execution phases of public IT projects do not focus ... -
Increased impact sensitivity in ageing high explosives; analysis of Amatol extracted from explosive remnants of war
(2024-03-27)Millions of tonnes of explosive remnants of war remain in nature, and the volume is continuously growing. The explosive legacy of wars represents an increasing threat to the environment and to societal safety and security. ... -
Optical turbulence on 1-km horizontal path with short and medium IR Gaussian laser beams
(2023-10-19)We have investigated effects of optical turbulence on laser beams with wavelengths of λ = 1064 nm and 2036 nm. The two laser beams (one diode and one thulium fiber laser) were expanded to 7 cm diameter through a common ... -
War and the Willingness to Resist and Fight in Ukraine
(2023-12-05)This study explores the effects of Russia's use of military force on the Ukrainian willingness to fight and resist. We find assumptions from the theoretical literature on the willingness to fight of limited relevance. ... -
RIMFAX Ground Penetrating Radar Reveals Dielectric Permittivity and Rock Density of Shallow Martian Subsurface
(2023-06-02)The Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover is equipped with the RIMFAX ground penetrating radar instrument which has been continuously surveying the shallow subsurface during the rover's journey. Within the first 379 mission ... -
A Study on the Effect of Commonly Used Data Augmentation Techniques on Sonar Image Artifact Detection Using Deep Neural Networks
(2023-10-20)This paper presents an empirical study that evaluates the impact of different types of augmentations on the performance of Deep Learning (DL) models for detecting imaging artifacts in Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) imagery. ... -
Bacterial Brain Abscesses Expand Despite Effective AntibioticTreatment: A Process Powered by Osmosis Due to NeutrophilCell Death
(2023-12-12)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A bacterial brain abscess is an emergency and should be drained of pus within 24 hours of diagnosis, as recently recommended. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated whether delaying ... -
War in Europe, but Still Low Tension in the High North? An Analysis of Norwegian Mitigation Strategies
(2024)Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created the most precarious security situation in Europe, including the High North, since the Second World War. This article studies how Norway manages High North security dilemmas in the ... -
Jammertest 2022: Jamming and Spoofing Lessons Learned
(2023-10-29)Jammertest 2022 was a week-long series of satellite navigation and timing signal jamming and spoofing exercises carried out on the Norwegian island of Andøya in September of 2022. Organized via a collaboration between the ... -
Trusting machine intelligence: artificial intelligence and human-autonomy teaming in military operations
(2023-11-29)Continuous advances in artificial intelligence has enabled higher levels of autonomy in military systems. As the role of machine-intelligence expands, effective co-operation between humans and autonomous systems will become ... -
Improved conceptualising of hybrid interference below the threshold of armed conflict
(2023-06-08)European policymakers have identified the need to understand influence operations on social media, cyber-attacks or hidden economic investments – activities that can be characterised as hybrid threats or hybrid warfare. ... -
Tyske reaksjoner på Ukraina-krigen: en ny kraft for transatlantisk samarbeid?
(2023-05-02)Det russiske angrepet på Ukraina 24. februar 2022 er ikke bare et angrep på landets territoriale integritet og 44 millioner innbyggere. Angrepet er også et angrep på den europeiske og transatlantiske sikkerhetsordenen ... -
Improved ballistic limit velocity from filament-wound fibres as composite cover on ceramic tiles
(2023)Hard armour plates are used in body armour for protection against high-velocity threats. The strike face often consists of a single ceramic tile that is covered by a sheet material made of a high-tenacity fibre-composite ... -
A Review of Deep-Learning Methods for Change Detection in Multispectral Remote Sensing Images
(2023-04-16): Remote sensing is a tool of interest for a large variety of applications. It is becoming increasingly more useful with the growing amount of available remote sensing data. However, the large amount of data also leads ... -
