Measurements and modeling of effects of out-of-plane reverberation on the power delay profile for underwater acoustic channels
(2015)Long reverberation tails are often observed in shallow-water acoustic channel impulse responses (CIRs). Examples from three significantly different environments along the Norwegian coast are presented. It is shown that 2-D ... -
Automatic Security Classification by Machine Learning for Cross-Domain Information Exchange
(2015)Cross-domain information exchange is necessary to obtain information superiority in the military domain, and should be based on assigning appropriate security labels to the information objects. Most of the data found in a ... -
Search by photo methodology for signature properties assessment by human observers
(2015)Reliable, low-cost and simple methods for assessment of signature properties for military purposes are very important. In this paper we present such an approach that uses human observers in a search by photo assessment of ... -
Resilient internetwork routing over heterogeneous mobile military networks
(2015)Mobile networks in the military tactical domain, include a range of radio networks with very diverse characteristics and which may be employed differently from operation to operation. When interconnecting networks with ... -
Discriminating between camouflaged targets by their time of detection by ahuman based observer assessment method
(2015)Detection of a camouflaged object in natural sceneries requires the target to be distinguishable from its local background. The development of any new camouflage pattern therefore has to rely on a well-founded test methodology ... -
Wideband Propagation Characteristics at 312 MHz in Eastern Norway and Impact on Waveform Requirements
(2015)A wideband Pseudo-Noise channel sounder built by CRC in Canada has been used to measure the wideband channel characteristics in three different types of terrain in Eastern Norway. The channel characteristics at 312 MHz are ... -
Maternal deprivation of Lewis rat pups increases the severity of experimental periodontitis in adulthood
(2015)Background and Objective: Early life adverse events may influence susceptibility/resistance to chronic inflammatory diseases later in life by permanently dysregulating brain-controlled immune-regulatory systems. We ... -
Anisotropy and shear-layer edge dynamics of statistically unsteady,stratified turbulence
(2015)Direct numerical simulation data of an evolving Kelvin-Helmholtz instability have been analyzed in order to characterize the dynamic and kinematic response of shear-generated turbulent flow to imposed stable stratification. ... -
Measured and modeled spatial rain rate correlation to improve the prediction method for satellite site diversity
(2015)Rainfall rate varies both temporarily and spatially. Radio systems, where rain attenuation causes outages, may take advantage of this effect to increase the radio link or satellite link availability using diversity techniques. ... -
Thugs or Terrorists? A Typology of Right-Wing Terrorism in Western Europe
(2015)Despite Western Europe’s extensive history of right-wing terrorism, a systematic categorization of key actors and events is lacking. This article aims to narrow this gap by proposing the first empirically derived typology ... -
Surface treatment of alumina ceramic for improved adhesion to a glass fibre-reinforced polyester composite
(2015)The adhesion between an alumina ceramic and a glass fibre-reinforced polyester matrix composite has been investigated. The effect of various alumina surface treatments, including degreasing, etching, plasma, grit-blasting ... -
Experimental investigation into radar-based central blood pressure estimation
(2015)To assess whether radar technology can be used for monitoring blood pressure via information from the aorta, two experiments were performed: (i) measurements on a phantom model and (ii) acquisitions on a human subject for ... -
Operationalizing Protection of Civilians in NATO Operations
(2015)Though NATO and other military forces increasingly recognize protection of civilians as a key objective in their operations, implementation remains challenging. To effectively protect, the military force must understand ... -
Generation of 1.5-octave intense infrared pulses by nonlinear interactions in DAST crystal
(2015)Infrared pulses with large spectral width extending from 1.2 to 3.4 μm are generated in the organic crystal DAST (4-N, N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methylstilbazolium tosylate). The input pulse has a central wavelength of 1.5 μm ... -
First indications that northern bottlenose whales are sensitive to behavioural disturbance from anthropogenic noise
(2015)Although northern bottlenose whales were the most heavily hunted beaked whale, we have little information about this species in its remote habitat of the North Atlantic Ocean. Underwater anthropogenic noise and disruption ... -
Optimizing the troops-to-tasks problem in military operations planning
(2015)In the planning of military operations, deciding who should do what, where, and when is crucial for the success of the operation. This troops-to-tasks analysis is a project scheduling problem closely related to the ... -
Er Nato en effektiv allianse? Om forholdet mellom kollektivt forsvar og internasjonale operasjoner
(2015)Hvilke forhold er det som bestemmer Natos effektivitet som allianse, og hvorfor er det slik at Nato av mange anses som best egnet til å være en kollektiv forsvarsallianse? Med et liberalt-institusjonalistisk utgangspunkt ... -
Military Innovation Under Authoritarian Government – the Case of Russian Special Operations Forces
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-08-26)Russian Special Forces saw significant changes to both organization and doctrine in the years after 2008. The special forces of the General Staff’s Main Intelligence Directorate were reduced in number, the organization’s ... -
Laser beam propagation through turbulence and adaptive optics for beam delivery improvement
(2015-10-08)We report results from numerical simulations of laser beam propagation through atmospheric turbulence. In particular, we study the statistical variations of the fractional beam energy hitting inside an optical aperture ... -
Forest classes and tree cover gradient: tick habitat in encroached areas of southern Norway
(2015-12-21)Forest, in particular deciduous forest, is a key element in determining areas with a high probability of tick presence. The way forest is generally monitored may be ill suited to some landscapes where Ixodes ricinus is ...
