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 ... -
Measurements of high-frequency acoustic scattering from glacially eroded rock outcrops
(2016)Measurements of acoustic backscattering from glacially eroded rock outcrops were made off the coast of Sandefjord, Norway using a high-frequency synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) system. A method by which scattering strength ... -
Measurements of IR propagation in the marine boundary layer during the September 2011 SQUIRREL trial
(2012)A multinational field trial (SQUIRREL) was performed at the Eckernförder Bucht, in the Baltic Sea, during September 2011 to study infrared ship signature and atmospheric propagation effects close to the sea surface in a ... -
Mechanical Properties of Smokeless Composite Rocket Propellants Based on Prilled Ammonium Dinitramide
(2012)Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) is a high performance solid oxidizer of interest for use in high impulse and smokeless composite rocket propellant formulations. While rocket propellants based on ADN may be both efficient, clean ... -
Meta-heuristics for improved RF emitter localization
(2017)Locating Radio Frequency (RF) emitters can be done with a number of methods, but cheap and widely available sensors make the Power Difference of Arrival (PDOA) technique a prominent choice. Predicting the location of an ... -
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 ... -
Metrics and provider-based results for completeness and temporal resolution of satellite-based AIS services
(2018)Collecting AIS messages from ships by satellites allows for maritime situational awareness, and a wide range of commercial applications, at global and regional scales. This work provides methods and indicators for evaluation ... -
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 ... -
Microbial community structure in a full-scale anaerobic treatment plant during start-up and first year of operation revealed by high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing
(2016)High-throughput amplicon sequencing of six biomass samples from a full-scale anaerobic reactor at a Norwegian wood and pulp factory using Biothane Biobed Expanded Granular Sludge Bed (EGSB) technology during start-up and ... -
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 ... -
Mid-infrared source with 0.2 J pulse energy based on nonlinear conversion of Q-switched pulses in ZnGeP2
(2014)Mid-infrared (3–5 μm) pulses with high energy are produced using nonlinear conversion in a ZnGeP2-based master oscillator-power amplifier, pumped by a Q-switched cryogenic Ho:YLF oscillator. The master oscillator is based ... -
Military Applications of Internet of Things: Operational Concerns Explored in Context of a Prototype Wearable
(2021-10)Internet of Things (IoT), due to its inherently automated behavior and low development costs, coupled with the emergence of wireless technologies combined with small-sized hardware, has become one of the defining ... -
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 ... -
Military Muscle-Flexing as Interstate Communication: Russian NOTAM Warnings off the Coast of Norway, 2015–2021
(2022-06-14)When, where, and why does Russia issue warnings about missile launches and other potentially dangerous military activities in international waters and airspace west and north of Norway? Drawing on information derived from ... -
Military Off the Shelf Procurements: A Norwegian Case Study
(2017-06-19)Buying off the shelf procurements (OTS) has become an important part of the national acquisition strategy in several countries, and this paper seeks to bring empirical evidence on OTS as the preferred acquisition strategy ... -
