The Queen Bees and the Women's Team - A contextual examination of enmity and friendship between military women
(2018)In several studies of women in the Norwegian Armed Forces, we have found an assertion that female groups are so riddled with conflicts and enmity that it is preferable to keep women few in number and mixed up ... -
Cost disease in defense and public administration: Baumol and politics
(2018)William Baumol’s model predicts a steady increase in relative public sector prices (or costs) because of the combination of slow productivity growth and wage growth similar to sectors wherein productivity is growing more ... -
An Integral Line-of-Sight Guidance Law with a Speed-dependent Lookahead Distance
(2018)This paper presents an algorithm that makes an underactuated marine vehicle follow a straight line path while in the presence of a constant ocean current. When following the path, the vehicle maintains a desired surge speed ... -
Development of neuropathology following soman poisoning and medical countermeasures
(2018)Nerve agent-induced seizures can cause varying degrees of neuropathology depending on level of poisoning and duration of seizing. The intention of this review was to validate a novel approach for establishing effective ... -
On the size of intermediate results in the federated processing of SPARQL BGPs
(2018)This paper is a foundational study in the semantics of federated query answering of SPARQL BGPs. Its specific concern is to explore how the size of intermediate results can be reduced without, from a logical point of view, ... -
A 3D Reactive Collision Avoidance Algorithm for Nonholonomic Vehicles
(2018)This paper presents a 3D reactive collision avoidance algorithm for vehicles with nonholonomic constraints. The algorithm steers the heading and pitch angle of the vehicle in order to maintain a constant avoidance angle ... -
Exact 3D scattering solutions for spherical symmetric scatterers
(2018)In this paper, exact solutions to the problem of acoustic scattering by elastic spherical symmetric scatterers are developed. The scatterer may consist of an arbitrary number of fluid and solid layers, and scattering with ... -
Breathing patterns indicate cost of exercise during diving and response to experimental sound exposures in long-finned pilot whales
(2018)Air-breathing marine predators that target sub-surface prey have to balance the energetic benefit of foraging against the time, energetic and physiological costs of diving. Here we use on-animal data loggers to assess ... -
Investigation of new orexin 2 receptor modulators using in silico and in vitro methods
(2018)The neuropeptides, orexin A and orexin B (also known as hypocretins), are produced in hypothalamic neurons and belong to ligands for orphan G protein-coupled receptors. Generally, the primary role of orexins is to act as ... -
How to assess good candidate molecules for self-activated optical power limiting
(2018)Reverse saturable absorbers have shown great potential to attenuate laser radiation. Good candidate molecules and various particles have successfully been incorporated into different glass matrices, enabling the creation ... -
Simplified energy landscape for modularity using total variation
(2018)Networks capture pairwise interactions between entities and are frequently used in applications such as social networks, food networks, and protein interaction networks, to name a few. Communities, cohesive groups of nodes, ... -
Nucleation and propagation of thermomagnetic avalanches in thin-film superconductors (Review Article)
(2018)Stability of the vortex matter—magnetic flux lines penetrating into the material—in type-II superconductor films is crucially important for their application. If some vortices get detached from pinning centres, the energy ... -
Isogeometric Analysis of Acoustic Scattering using Infinite Elements
(2018)Isogeometric analysis (IGA) has proven to be an improvement on the classical finite element method (FEM) in several fields, including structural mechanics and fluid dynamics. In this paper, the performance of IGA coupled ... -
Terrain referenced navigation using sand dunes and sand ripples in presence of tides
(2018)We investigated using terrain referenced navigation in shallow water in the presence of unknown tide, with an autonomous underwater vehicle equipped with a high resolution bathymetric sensor. The mission area had both ... -
Connecting the dots in counterterrorism: The consequences of communication setting for shared situation awareness and team performance
(2018)Shared situation awareness (SSA) is critical for counterterrorism teams. We examined whether a rich media condition (co‐located face to face) and a lean media condition (distributed email) differentially influence SSA at ... -
DSI Suppression with Adaptive Beamforming in DVB-T Passive Radar Measurements
(2018)Adaptive beamforming (ABF) for maximizing the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is applied to acquisitions made by a passive bistatic radar (PBR) exposed to strong direct signal interference (DSI). The DVB-T ... -
Thermal infrared reference sources fabricated from low-cost components and materials
(2018)Mass markets, including mobile phones and automotive sensors, drive rapid developments of imaging technologies toward high performance, low cost sensors, even for the thermal infrared. Good infrared calibration blackbody ... -
Fast and robust image processing algorithms based on approximations to order statistics
(2018)A test system with four cameras in the infrared and visual spectra is under development at FFI (The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment). The system can be mounted on a high speed jet aircraft, but may also be used ... -
Moral outrage: The generative power of political emotions.
(2018)Moral outrage has until now been conceptualized as a call to action, a reaction to injustice and transgressions, and a forceful motor for democratic participation, acts of civil disobedience, and violent and illicit action. ...
