Genetic characterization of trh positive Vibrio spp. isolated from Norway
(2013)The thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) and/or TDH-related hemolysin (TRH) genes are carried by most virulent Vibrio parahaemolyticus serovars. In Norway, trh+ V. parahaemolyticus constitute 4.4 and 4.5% of the total number ... -
The Recruiter’s Dilemma: Signaling and Terrorist Recruitment Tactics
(2013)How do terrorists recruit? We know much about the profiles and pathways of recruits, but little about the strategies and tactics of recruiters. Such procedures matter because they help determine who joins. I highlight a ... -
Should I Stay or Should I Go? Explaining Variation in Western Jihadists' Choice between Domestic and Foreign Fighting
(2013)This article studies variation in conflict theater choice by Western jihadists in an effort to understand their motivations. Some militants attack at home, whereas others join insurgencies abroad, but few scholars have ... -
The Integration of Trusted Platform Modules into a Tactical Identity Management System
(2013)The use of integrity protection mechanisms from a tactical Identity Management (IdM) system is the focus of this paper. While traditional identity management systems supports authentication, and some also access control, ... -
Energy Partition in Magnetic Reconnection in Earth's Magnetotail
(2013)The partition of energy flux in magnetic reconnection is examined experimentally using Cluster satellite observations of collisionless reconnection in Earth’s magnetotail. In this plasma regime, the dominant component of ... -
Optimization Model for Robust Acquisition Decisions in the Norwegian Armed Forces
(2013)The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) supports the Norwegian Ministry of Defence with quantitative analyses for its long-term defence planning. As part of this activity, FFI has developed a stochastic model ... -
Trusted Service Discovery Through Identity Management
(2013)Service oriented environments face threats from unauthorized clients and fake or compromised services. The threats exist both during service discovery and service invocation, and should be mitigated through the same security ... -
Two medical therapies very effective shortly after high levels of soman poisoning in rats, but only one with universal utility
(2013)A treatment regimen consisting of HI-6, scopolamine, and physostigmine (termed the physostigmine regimen) has been based on the serendipitous discovery that it exerts powerful antidotal effects against high levels of soman ... -
Acoustic seabed classification using QTC IMPACT on single-beam echo sounder data from the Norwegian Channel, northern North Sea
(2013)Sediment mapping is important for understanding the physical processes, the impact of human activity, and the conditions for marine life on the seabed. For this purpose, the seabed classification tool QTC IMPACT analyses ... -
Wireless power transfer in the presence of metallic plates: Experimental results
(2013)We demonstrate efficient wireless power transfer between two high Q resonators, especially in a complex electromagnetic environment. In the close proximity of metallic plates, the transfer efficiency stays roughly the same ... -
Changes in fibrinogen availability and utilization in an animal model of traumatic coagulopathy
(2013)Background Impaired haemostasis following shock and tissue trauma is frequently detected in the trauma setting. These changes occur early, and are associated with increased mortality. The mechanism behind trauma-induced ... -
Isocyanate-Free and Dual Curing of Smokeless Composite Rocket Propellants
(2013)Traditional composite rocket propellants are cured by treatment of hydroxyl-terminated prepolymers with polyfunctional aliphatic isocyanates. For development of smokeless composite propellants containing nitramines and/or ... -
Wideband Interferometry in Synthetic Aperture Sonar
(2013)Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) interferometry can provide very high resolution images and topographic maps of the seafloor over large swaths. Processing of interferometric data to retrieve reliable depth estimates of the ... -
The perirhinal cortex of rats: An intricate area for microinfusion of anticonvulsants against soman-induced seizures
(2013)Microinfusion of anticonvulsants into the perirhinal cortex through 1 guide cannula in each hemisphere only invades a small area of this seizure controlling site in rats exposed to soman. The purpose of the present study ... -
Serial Ricinine Levels in Serum and Urine after Ricin Intoxication
(2013)Ricinine is an alkaloid present in the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis) that can be used as a biomarker for ricin poisoning. Serial ricinine levels are reported in the serum and urine of a patient suffering from ... -
Using stereo SAR and InSAR by combining the COSMO-SkyMed and the TanDEM-X mission satellites for estimation of absolute height
(2013)The objective of this work is to estimate absolute height in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferograms. Since height in interferograms is relative, we use stereo SAR with several satellites to achieve absolute height ... -
Reciprocity and the scattering matrix of waveguide modes
(2013)The implications of the Lorentz reciprocity theorem for a scatterer connected to waveguides with arbitrary modes, including degenerate, evanescent, and complex modes, are discussed. In general it turns out that a matrix ... -
Effects of a 7-days military training exercise on inflammatory biomarkers, serum hepcidin, and iron status
(2013)Background Hepcidin, a peptide that is released into the blood in response to inflammation, prevents cellular iron export and results in declines in iron status. Elevated serum and urinary levels of hepcidin have been ... -
A Graphical User Interface for Multivariable Analysis of Silicon Solar Cells Using Scripted PC1D Simulations
(2013)PC1D is an open source computer program for simulation of crystalline semiconductor devices, and is the most commonly used simulation software in the solar cell community today. In this work we present a modified version ...
