The use of synthetic aperture sonar to survey seafloor massive sulfide deposits
(2015)With the advent of advanced deep sea mining technology, seafloor mining is poised to begin on a global scale. For the success of any mining operation, it is crucial that both the operators and regulatory bodies possess ... -
Dose response severity functions for acoustic disturbance in cetaceans using recurrent event survival analysis
(2015)Behavioral response studies (BRSs) aim to enhance our understanding of the behavior changes made by animals in response to specific exposure levels of different stimuli, often presented in an increasing dosage. Here, we ... -
Identification and quantification of lichenysin – a possible source of food poisoning
(2015)Lichenysin produced by 53 different Bacillus licheniformis strains has been structurally examined with a qualitative liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method using quadrupole-time-of-flight mass ... -
Completeness and Accuracy of a Wide-Area Maritime Situational Picture based on Automatic Ship Reporting Systems
(2015)Automatic ship reporting systems (AIS – Automatic identification System, LRIT – Long Range Identification and Tracking, VMS – Vessel Monitoring System) today allow global tracking of ships. One way to display the results ... -
Toward federated mission networking in the tactical domain
(2015)NATO is currently working on the Federated Mission Networking (FMN) concept, which will become the foundation for establishing mission networks in the future. The realization of the FMN concept is described in the NATO FMN ... -
Modeling of a back-illuminated HgCdTe MWIR avalanche photodiode with alloy gradients
(2015)We present results from 2D Monte Carlo simulations of a mid-wave infrared (MWIR) back-illuminated planar n-on-p HgCdTe electron-initiated avalanche photodiode (e- APD). The main objective of this work has been to study the ... -
Spin scan tomographic imager
(2015)A novel imaging device based on tomographic reconstruction is presented. The imager is based on rotating an image of the scene onto a linear detector array, and then reconstructing a 2-dimensional image from the detector ... -
Assessing Islamic State’s Commitment to Attacking the West
(2015)How much of a terrorist threat does the Islamic State (IS) pose to Western countries? This article looks at what IS has said and done with regard to attacks in the West. We examine IS statements and take stock of IS-related ... -
Bispyridinium compounds inhibit both muscle and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in human cell lines
(2015)Standard treatment of poisoning by organophosphorus anticholinesterases uses atropine to reduce the muscarinic effects of acetylcholine accumulation and oximes to reactivate acetylcholinesterase (the effectiveness of which ... -
Mobile information platforms in the military domain
(2015)his paper presents a preliminary study of attitude, compatibility, effort and performance expectancy for potential use of mobile information platforms, like smartphones and pads, in the military domain. Although mobile ... -
Studying the time trend of Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Norway by use of non-stationary γ-Poisson distributions
(2015)Objectives Study the time development of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and forecast future behaviour. The major question: Is the number of MRSA isolates in Norway increasing and will it continue to ... -
Superb Winter fur insulation in small Siberian musk deer (Moschus moschiferus)
(2015)We compared the morphology and thermal characteristics of winter pelage from two Siberian musk deer Moschus moschiferus (aged 5 and 41 mo.; 5.7 and 9.5 kg) and two Eurasian reindeer Rangifer tarandus tarandus (aged >48 ... -
Investigation of Theoretical Models for the Elastic Stiffness of Nanoparticle-Modified Polymer Composites
(2015)Mathematical models are investigated and suggested for the calculation of the elastic stiffness of polymer nanocomposites. Particular emphasis is placed on the effect on the elastic stiffness from agglomerates and the ... -
Regulation of CCN1 (Cyr61) in a porcine model of intestinal ischemia/reperfusion
(2015)Intestinal ischemia is a serious condition that may lead to both local and systemic inflammatory responses. Restoration of blood supply (reperfusion) to ischemic tissues often increases the extent of the tissue injury. ... -
Radar sensitivity to human heartbeats and respiration
(2015)Human heartbeats and respiration can be detected from a distance using radar. This can be used for medical applications and human being detection. It is useful to have a system independent measure of how detectable the ... -
Trust Management in Cross Domain Operations
(2015)Protocols for communication across security domains need to be evaluated against their architectural properties, not only their security properties. The protocols have connectivity and capacity requirements, they have ... -
Lifetime distributions from tracking individual BC3H1 cells subjected to yessotoxin
(2015)This work shows examples of lifetime distributions for individual BC3H1 cells after start of exposure to the marine toxin yessotoxin (YTX) in an experimental dish. The present tracking of many single cells from time-lapse ... -
Cascade dynamics of thermomagnetic avalanches in superconducting films with holes
(2015)The submicrosecond dynamics of thermomagnetic avalanches in superconducting films with nonconducting holes (antidots) is considered. When such an avalanche reaches a hole, it is quickly filled with magnetic flux, and often ... -
Curing of Glycidyl Azide Polymer (GAP) diol using isocyanate, isocyanate-free, synchronous dual, and sequential dual curing systems
(2015)Glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) is an important energetic binder candidate for new minimum signature solid composite rocket propellants, but the mechanical properties of such GAP propellants are often limited. The mechanical ...
