Risk Assessment of Sea Dumped Conventional Munitions
(2016)Energetic compounds from dumped ammunition are toxic to aquatic organisms. Leakage of ammunition residues will occur when the bombshells are broken and the energetic compounds come into contact with water. The munitions ... -
Statistical and Algebraic Properties of DES
(2016)D. Davies and S. Murphy found that there are at most 660 different probability distributions on the output from any three adjacent S-boxes after 16 rounds of DES [5]. In this paper it is shown that there are only 72 different ... -
Agile requirements handling in a service-oriented taxonomy of capabilities
(2016)To get to grips with information systems portfolio development, strategic decisions tend towards service orientation and cloud deployment. Functionality should be presented as services that can be consumed from secure ... -
Complete genome sequences of six Legionella pneumophila isolates from two collocated outbreaks of legionnaires' disease in 2005 and 2008 in Sarpsborg/Fredrikstad, Norway
(2016)Here, we report the complete genome sequences of Legionella pneumophila isolates from two collocated outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease in 2005 and 2008 in Sarpsborg/Fredrikstad, Norway. One clinical and two environmental ... -
Generating Random Earthquake Events for Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment
(2016)To perform probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment for subduction zone earthquakes, it is necessary to start with a catalog of possible future events along with the annual probability of occurrence, or a probability ... -
The Seven Ways to Find Heading
(2016)A magnetic compass has too large a heading error for many applications, and it is often not obvious how to achieve an accurate heading, in particular for low-cost navigation systems. However, there are several different ... -
Micro indentation hardness testing of commercial-grade RDX crystals
(2016)This paper describes the continuous micro indentation hardness testing of two commercial grades of RDX with differing shock sensitivities using three (3) different loads on a Berkovich indenter to obtain values of elastic ... -
Antenna Processing Optimization for a Colocated MIMO Radar
(2016)In a practical colocated MIMO radar design case, there will often not be a free choice of locations for single element antennas. Antenna parts may be available as rectangular arrays of antenna elements located on tiles, ... -
All Molecular Surfaces are Equal: Demanding Invariance of Predictions in Linear Single-Variable Models
(2016)The molecular surface has been suggested to be a region of the molecule where information of non-covalent intermolecular interactions is present. Many workers have pursued this idea by constructing models based on statistical ... -
High-power, 1-ps, all-Yb:YAG thin-disk regenerative amplifier
(2016)We report a 100 W, 20 mJ, 1-ps, all-Yb:YAG thin-disk regenerative amplifier seeded by a microjoule-level Yb:YAG thin-disk Kerr-lens mode-locked oscillator. The regenerative amplifier is implemented in a chirped pulse ... -
Disturbance-specific social responses in long-finned pilot whales, Globicephala melas
(2016)Social interactions among animals can influence their response to disturbance. We investigated responses of long-finned pilot whales to killer whale sound playbacks and two anthropogenic sources of disturbance: tagging ... -
Bond strength and performance of optical fibre Bragg gratings sensors embedded in composite patch repairs for military aircraft
(2016)Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are recognized as a key element in a modern and efficient approach to structural lifecycle management. With novel applications of advanced materials, such as extensive use of ... -
Jihadi Terrorism in Europe: The IS-Effect
(2016)The article examines the extent to which Islamic State (IS) has affected jihadi terrorism in Europe. We look at the scope of attack activity, perpetrators and their networks, modus operandi and funding. For all the talk ... -
Defence industrial policy – a sound security strategy or an economic fallacy?
(2016)This article explores whether it makes sense for national governments to employ defence industrial policies – such as offsets and discriminatory procurement practices – to support their domestic defence industries. This ... -
All solid-state spectral broadening: An average and peak power scalable method for compression of ultrashort pulses
(2016)Spectral broadening in bulk material is a simple, robust and low-cost method to extend the bandwidth of a laser source. Consequently, it enables ultrashort pulse compression. Experiments with a 38 MHz repetition rate, 50 ... -
European defence research in crisis? The way towards strategic autonomy
(2016)Defence research, in the form of both research and development (R&D) and research and technology (R&T), are important factors in achieving long-term European strategic autonomy. The present paper analyses this debate from ... -
Myndighetsutøver, ressursforvalter og livredder – den russiske kystvakten i støpeskjeen
(2016)The Russian Coast Guard, or Beregovaya okhrana, was formally established in 2007 and plays a crucial role in the management of natural resources located in the vast maritime areas under Russian jurisdiction. The purpose ... -
A Study of the Detonation Properties, Propellant Impulses, Impact Sensitivities and Synthesis of Nitrated ANTA and NTO Derivatives
(2016)Nitrated derivatives of 5-amino-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole (ANTA) and 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) were theoretically characterized with respect to their performance as high explosives and rocket propellants. The detonation ... -
North European security after the Ukraine conflict
(2016)Russia’s illegal occupation and annexation of the Crimean peninsula in February–March 2014, and the country’s well-documented involvement in the separatist conflict in Eastern Ukraine, have led to a significant ... -
Særalderspensjon i et nytt pensjonssystem
(2016)Pensjonssystemet i offentlig sektor er i endring. Blant annet kan særaldersgrenser komme til å avskaffes som en ordning finansiert gjennom Statens pensjonskasse, og hvor departementene selv kan betale for å videreføre dem. ...
