Pragmatism and Purism in Jihadist Governance: The Islamic Emirate of Azawad Revisited
(2022-01-02)The Islamic Emirate established in northern Mali in 2012 was brought down less than a year later by a French military intervention, pro- voked by the Emirate’s belligerent posture. This article explains why the leaders of ... -
Systemic approaches for emission reduction in industrial plants based on physical accounting: example for an aluminium smelter
(2022-01-22)Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting in industrial plants usually has multiple purposes, including mandatory reporting, shareholder and stakeholder communication, developing key performance indicators (KPIs), or informing ... -
A containerised approach to labelled C&C traffic
(2022-01-24)A challenge for data-driven methods for intrusion detection is the availability of high quality and realistic data, with ground truth at suitable level of granularity to train machine learning models. Here, we explore a ... -
Formalizing swarm security
(2022-01-24)Cheap, capable processors are becoming readily available, and these are being deployed to a wide variety of applications, ranging from internet-enabled refrigerators to swarms of specialised drones. As often is the case ... -
High-energy bow tie multi-pass cells for nonlinear spectralbroadening applications
(2022-01-24)Multi-pass cells (MPCs) have emerged as very attractive tools for spectral broadening and post-compression applications. We discuss pulse energy limitations of standard MPCs considering basic geometrical scaling principles ... -
Security for Autonomous and Unmanned Devices: Cryptography and its Limits
(2022-02-07)We survey existing literature on protecting resource constrained autonomous and unmanned devices. The goal is to secure data both during transmission and at rest, also when facing highly skilled and motivated adversaries. ... -
Dispersion of SARS-CoV-2 in air surrounding COVID-19-infected individuals with mild symptoms
(2022-02-12)Since the beginning of the pandemic, the transmission modes of SARS-CoV-2—particularly the role of aerosol transmission—have been much debated. Accumulating evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted by aerosols, ... -
Abstracts from The Cold Weather Operations Conference 2021
(2022-03-11)A common effort for both military and civil healthcare is to achieve knowledge-based health care in cold weather injuries and fatal accidents in harsh arctic environment. The Cold Weather Operations Conference in November ... -
The Rapidly Exploring Random Tree Funnel Algorithm
(2022-03-17)This paper shows the feasibility of combining robust motion primitives generated through the Sums Of Squares programming theory with a discrete Rapidly exploring Random Tree algorithm. The generated robust motion ... -
Behavioral responses to predatory sounds predict sensitivity of cetaceans to anthropogenic noise within a soundscape of fear
(2022-03-21)As human activities impact virtually every animal habitat on the planet, identifying species at-risk from disturbance is a priority. Cetaceans are an example taxon where responsiveness to anthropogenic noise can be severe ... -
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 ... -
Modeling FMCW Radar for Subsurface Analysis
(2022-04-05)Determining subsurface properties through ground penetrating radar sounding can be challenging, especially in planetary exploration, where little is known about the terrain and additional observations are limited. Analysis ... -
Responsible Research and Innovation Associated With Risk Communication and Public Engagement on Health Emergency Preparedness at the Local Level
(2022-04-05)Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) associated with public health emergency preparedness (PHEP) and response pose major challenges to the scientific community and civil society because a multistakeholder and ... -
Abstraction-decomposition space for critical infrastructure systems: A framework for infrastructure planning and resilience policies
(2022-04-20)The objective of this work has been to propose a framework that will aid governments with the development of more coherent and effective infrastructure planning and resilience policies through a system-of-systems approach ... -
Unimolecular Decomposition Reactions of Picric Acid and its Methylated Derivatives — A DFT Study
(2022-04-26)To handle energetic materials safely, it is important to have knowledge about their sensitivity. Density functional theory (DFT) has proven a valuable tool in the study of energetic materials, and in the current work, DFT ... -
Adaptive suppression of smart jamming with FDA permutation
(2022-05-03)By adding a frequency increment to the carrier frequency of the pulses transmitted from an antenna array, it becomes possible to make the beam dependent on both frequency and range. This is called a frequency diverse ... -
Effect of the Series Resistance on the Current Response of a HgCdTe Avalanche Photodiode Under High-intensity Nanosecond Irradiation
(2022-05-10)We investigate the nonlinear signal current response of a Hg0.72Cd0.28Te avalanche photodiode (APD) irradiated by high-intensity, finite-duration laser pulses. At high irradiation levels and/or high gains, carrier-induced ... -
