The Watermark benchmark for underwater acoustic modulation schemes
(2017)Watermark is a freely available benchmark for physical-layer schemes for underwater acoustic communications. It allows researchers to test and compare algorithms for the physical layer under realistic and reproducible ... -
Using a genetic algorithm to solve the troops-to-tasks problem in military operations planning
(2017)The troops-to-tasks analysis in military operational planning is the process where the military staff investigates who should do what, where, and when in the operation. In this paper, we describe a genetic algorithm for ... -
Uptake and effects of 2, 4, 6 - trinitrotoluene (TNT) in juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(2017)Organ specific uptake and depuration, and biological effects in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) were studied. Two experiments were conducted, the first using radiolabeled TNT (14C-TNT, ... -
Avoidance responses of minke whales to 1?4 kHz naval sonar
(2017)Minke whales are difficult to study and little information exists regarding their responses to anthropogenic sound. This study pools data from behavioural response studies off California and Norway. Data are derived from ... -
A 2.5-D Integrated Data Logger for Measuring Extreme Accelerations
(2017)A very compact and rugged 2.5-D integrated data logger has been built and tested. The data logger is capable of measuring accelerations exceeding 70 000 g. Microcontroller and flash memory as bare dies have been mounted ... -
Is established knowledge about cross-cultural differences in individualism–collectivism not applicable to the military? A multi-method study of cross-cultural differences in behavior.
(2017)Preparing for international military collaboration includes raising knowledge about cultural differences. The differences in individualism–collectivism between countries are among the most central aspects likely to impact ... -
Mathematical modelling of the oxygen uptake kinetics during whole-body endurance exercise and recovery
(2017)In this study, we elucidate four different mathematical models of the kinetics of oxygen uptake during whole-body endurance exercise at different intensities and throughout the subsequent recovery periods. We employ the ... -
Convex Variational Methods on Graphs for Multiclass Segmentation of High-Dimensional Data and Point Clouds
(2017)Graph-based variational methods have recently shown to be highly competitive for various classification problems of high-dimensional data, but are inherently difficult to handle from an optimization perspective. This ... -
Large-eddy simulation of dense gas dispersion over a simplified urban area
(2017)Dispersion of neutral and dense gas over a simplified urban area, comprising four cubes, has been investigated by the means of large-eddy simulations (LES). The results have been compared to wind tunnel experiments and ... -
Multiple-array passive acoustic source localization in shallow water
(2017)This paper considers concurrent matched-field processing of data from multiple, spatially-separated acoustic arrays with application to towed-source data received on two bottom-moored horizontal line arrays from the SWellEx-96 ... -
Military training elicits marked increases in plasmametabolomic signatures of energy metabolism, lipolysis,fatty acid oxidation, and ketogenesis
(2017)Military training studies provide unique insight into metabolic responses to extreme physiologic stress induced by multiple stressor environments, and the impacts of nutrition in mediating these responses. Advances in ... -
Cardiovascular and thermal strain during 3–4 days of a metabolically demanding cold‑weather military operation
(2017)Background Cardiovascular (CV) and thermal responses to metabolically demanding multi-day military operations in extreme cold-weather environments are not well described. Characterization of these operations will provide ... -
Review and analysis of the explosion accident in Drevja, Norway: A consequence of fire in a mobile explosives manufacturing unit (MEMU) carrying precursors for the on-site production of bulk explosives
(2017)On 17 December 2013, in Drevja, Nordland county, Norway, an uncontrollable fire in a mobile explosives manufactory unit (MEMU) carrying ammonium nitrate-based products and gassing agents for the on-site production of bulk ... -
Efficient High-Power Ultrashort Pulse Compression in Self-Defocusing Bulk Media
(2017)Peak and average power scalability is the key feature of advancing femtosecond laser technology. Today, near-infrared light sources are capable of providing hundreds of Watts of average power. These sources, however, ... -
En ny al-Gaddafi? Feltmarskalk Khalifa Haftar
(2017)Den tidligere libyske offiseren Khalifa Haftar har etablert seg som den sterkeste aktøren i Libya. Hvordan klarte han å manøvrere seg frem til en maktposisjon etter den libyske revolusjonen? Hva er hans langsiktige mål, ... -
Three-Site Diversity at Ka-Band Satellite Links in Norway: Gain, Fade Duration and the Impact of Switching Schemes
(2017)Analysis of two years of measurements from a three-site satellite beacon diversity experiment in Norway is presented. The operating frequency was 19.68 GHz, elevation angles were between 21.7° and 22°, and site separations ... -
Large-eddy simulations of dense-gas dispersion within a high-Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer
(2017)Large-eddy simulations of flows over a backward-facing step with release of four different gases with increasing densities have been performed. The results have been analysed with particular emphasis on the part of the ... -
Software-Defined Underwater Acoustic Modems: Historical Review and the NILUS Approach
(2017)Flexible/adaptive acoustic modems that are reprogrammable/reconfigurable at all layers of the communication stack, either by a user or by means of autonomous decisions, are considered as an important enabler for interoperability ... -
