Networking-Enabling Enhancement for a Swarm of COTS Drones
(2018)This paper presents the augmentation of a commercial-of-the-self (COTS) multi-rotor unmanned aerial system (UAS) to extend its capabilities by introducing increased on-board processing power. The option to process sensor ... -
A neural network framework for binary classification of radar detections.
(2021-09-17)A desired objective in radar target detection is to satisfy two very contradictory requirements: offer a high probability of detection with a low false alarm rate. In this paper, we propose the utilization of artificial ... -
Neurotoxic effects of perfluoroalkylated compounds: mechanisms of action and environmental relevance
(2012)Perfluoroalkylated compounds (PFCs) are used in fire-fighting foams, treatment of clothes, carpets and leather products, and as lubricants, pesticides, in paints and medicine. Recent developments in chemical analysis have ... -
Neutral Polymeric Bonding Agents (NPBA) and Their Use in Smokeless Composite Rocket Propellants Based on HMXGAP- BuNENA
(2012)Very few efficient bonding agents for use in solid rocket propellants with nitramine filler materials and energetic binder systems are currently available. In this work, we report the synthesis, detailed characterization, ... -
A New Distributed Localization Algorithm Using Social Learning Based Particle Swarm Optimization for Internet of Things
(2018)Emerging applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) will depend on the accurate location of thousands of deployed sensors. However, accurate localization of deployed sensors nodes is a classical optimization problem which ... -
A new method for underwater archaeological surveying using sensors and unmanned platforms
(2016)As most of the world’s oceans are inaccessible to diving archaeologists, we must rely on advanced underwater technology and marine robotics to explore, map and investigate ship wrecks in these areas. New sensors and unmanned ... -
A new standard for predicting lung injury inflicted by Friedlander blast waves
(2016)An important blast injury mechanism is the rupture of the lungs and the gastrointestinal tract. In explosives safety studies and threat analysis the empirical model of Bowen is often used to quantify this mechanism. The ... -
No Country for Old Men? Increasing the Retirement Age in the Norwegian Armed Forces
(2020-05-25)Ageing workforces due to low fertility rates and higher life expectancies challenge modern industrialized economies. In order to secure economic welfare and to balance public budgets, governments worldwide implement reforms ... -
Non-destructive testing of graphene/epoxy composites using THz waves
(2018-10-05)In earlier experiments [1] we found there was significant transmission of THz radiation through carbon-fiber enforced composites, despite that fact that the dc conductivity of the carbon fibers is expected to be good and ... -
A non-singular horizontal position representation
(2010-07-03)Position calculations, e.g. adding, subtracting, interpolating, and averaging positions, depend on the representation used, both with respect to simplicity of the written code and accuracy of the result. The latitude/longitude ... -
Norge - en motvillig europeer i nord
(2023-03-23)Denne artikkelen spør hva Norge, som et lite land utenfor EU, kan gjøre for å styrke sin posisjon som en viktig aktør i nordområdene. Russlands angrep på Ukraina og en tiltakende arbeidsdeling mellom EU og Nato for ... -

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 ... -
Northern bottlenose whales in a pristine environment respond strongly to close and distant navy sonar signals
(2019-03-20)Impact assessments for sonar operations typically use received sound levels to predict behavioural disturbance in marine mammals. However, there are indications that cetaceans may learn to associate exposures from distant ... -
A novel headspace sampler for field detection of chemical warfare agents and simulants connected to a commercial ion mobility detector
(2016)A rapid and simple sampling technique for use in conjunction with commercial ion mobility spectrometric detectors is described. The technique may be used for the detection of chemical warfare agents in the field. A plastic ... -
A Novel IoBT Security Assessment Framework: LoRaWAN Case Study
(2020)The Internet of Things (IoT) is interesting because this potentially disruptive technology can also be used as a low-cost approach to augment information in military systems. This makes following IoT trends important ... -
A Novel Method of Predicting Site DependentSpecific Rain Attentuation of Millimeter Radio Waves
(2003)There is a need for validation and improvement of propagation prediction methods for the safe design and operation of millimeter radio communication systems. At this frequency range, propagation related degradation is ... -
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 ... -
Numerical study of premixed gas explosion in a 1-m channel partly filled with 18650 cell-like cylinders with experiments
(2022-03-22)Abused and defective Li-ion cells can cause a catastrophic failure of a Li-ion battery (LIB), leading to severe fires and explosions. In recent years, several numerical and experimental studies have been conducted on the ...
