A model for the viscous dissipation rate in stably stratified, sheared turbulence
(2013)A model for the turbulence dissipation rate in stably stratified shear turbulence is developed and validated. The functional dependence of the model is derived from first principles and it represents a conceptually new ... -
Pixel scaling in infrared focal plane arrays
(2013)We discuss effects that arise in pixels of IR focal plane arrays (FPAs) when pixel size scales down to approach the wavelength of the incident radiation. To study these effects, we perform first-principles electromagnetic ... -
Construction and demonstration of a multispectral tomographic scanning imager (TOSCA)
(2013)This work presents the first experimental demonstrator of an imager based on a tomographic scanning (TOSCA) principle. The device described generates a stream of multispectral images of a scene or target using simple conical ... -
Rapid Identification of Bacillus anthracis Spores in Suspicious Powder Samples by Using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)
(2013)Rapid and reliable identification of Bacillus anthracis spores in suspicious powders is important to mitigate the safety risks and economic burdens associated with such incidents. The aim of this study was to develop and ... -
Preparation and characterisation of epoxy/alumina polymer nanocomposites
(2013)The effect of adding nanosized alumina fillers of both fibre-like and spherical shapes to an epoxy polymer has been investigated. The alumina was dispersed in the epoxy hardener using two different sonication techniques. ... -
A simulation of cross-country skiing on varying terrain by using a mathematical power balance model
(2013)The current study simulated cross-country skiing on varying terrain by using a power balance model. By applying the hypothetical inductive deductive method, we compared the simulated position along the track with actual ... -
Capacities of metabotropic glutamate modulators in counteracting soman-induced seizures in rats
(2013)The mechanisms underlying insulin sensitivity and fat tissue distribution in chronic renal insufficiency remain unclear. Previous studies have shown the benefits of angiotensin II receptor blockers on moderately nourished ... -
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Is Increasing in Norway: A Time Series Analysis of Reported MRSA and Methicillin-Sensitive S. aureus Cases, 1997–2010
(2013)The current study simulated cross-country skiing on varying terrain by using a power balance model. By applying the hypothetical inductive deductive method, we compared the simulated position along the track with actual ... -
Legionella and non-Legionella bacteria in a biological treatment plant
(2013)Legionella pneumophila were previously identified in the aeration ponds (up to 1010 CFU/L) of a biological wastewater treatment plant at Borregaard Ind. Ltd., Sarpsborg, Norway, and in air samples (up to 3300 CFU/m3) ... -
Mixel camera - a new push-broom camera concept for high spatial resolution keystone-free hyperspectral imaging
(2013)Current high-resolution push-broom hyperspectral cameras introduce keystone errors to the captured data. Efforts to correct these errors in hardware severely limit the optical design, in particular with respect to light ... -
Syria's Foreign Fighters

Validation of replay-based underwater acoustic communication channel simulation
(2013)This paper discusses validation methods for underwater acoustic communication channel simulators, and validates direct and stochastic replay of underwater acoustic communication channels as implemented in a channel simulator ... -
Estimating the pixel footprint distribution for image fusion by ray tracing lines of sight in a Monte Carlo scheme
(2013)Images from airborne cameras can be a valuable resource for data fusion, but this typically requires them to be georeferenced. This usually implies that the information of every pixel should be accompanied by a single ... -
Organizational flexibility from a network organizational perspective: a study of central predictors and moderating factors in military contexts
(2013-10-28)Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on organizational flexibility and explore its antecedents, organizational structure, and processes, as proposed by network organization theories. The study also explores the ... -
The social context of individual foraging behaviour in long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas)
(2014)Long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) are highly social cetaceans that live in matrilineal groups and acquire their prey during deep foraging dives. We tagged individual pilot whales to record their diving behaviour. ... -
Low-energy enhancement of nuclear γ strength and its impact on astrophysical reaction rates
(2014)An unexpected enhancement in the low-energy part of the γ-strength function for light and medium-mass nuclei has been discovered at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory. This enhancement could lead to an increase in the neutron-capture ... -
Third-generation femtosecond technology
(2014)Femtosecond pulse generation was pioneered four decades ago using mode-locked dye lasers, which dominated the field for the following 20 years. Dye lasers were then replaced with titanium-doped sapphire (Ti:Sa) lasers, ... -
Coherent range and Doppler-walk compensation in PBR applications
(2014)The focus of PBR research has shifted from FM to also include DVB-T and DAB over the last years, and are facing the challenges of higher bandwidth, i.e. improved range resolution. While the FM based PBR systems primarily ... -
Microvesicle Shedding and Lysosomal Repair Fulfill Divergent Cellular Needs during the Repair of Streptolysin O-Induced Plasmalemmal Damage
(2014)Pathogenic bacteria secrete pore-forming toxins that permeabilize the plasma membrane of host cells. Nucleated cells possess protective mechanisms that repair toxin-damaged plasmalemma. Currently two putative repair scenarios ... -
Selected Issues of QoS Provision in Heterogenous Military Networks
(2014)Tactical ad-hoc networks are evolving today towards complex heterogeneous networks in terms of architecture, protocols and security. Due to the difference in network resources and reliability, end-to-end quality of service ...
