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, ... -
Urban Terrorism in the Arab World: Introducing a Dataset of Jihadist Attack Plots in Jordan
(2021-09-21)Few regions have been more plagued by terrorism than the Arab world. However, knowledge of the phenomenon’s nature is limited by a lack of attack plot data for most Arab countries. This article contributes to addressing ... -
The use of Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) as a bioindicator for studies on effect of dumped chemical warfare agents in Skagerrak. 1: Liver histopathology.
(2020)Within the framework of the international project DAIMON (Decision Aid for Marine Munitions), the impact of dumped chemical munitions on fish health was investigated. The Skagerrak Straight (North Sea, at 600 m depth) ... -
The use of Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) as a bioindicator species for studies on effects of dumped chemical warfare agents in the Skagerrak. 2. Biochemical biomarkers
(2020)The sea bottom of the Skagerrak Strait (North Sea) contains munitions loaded with chemical warfare agents (CWA), mostly stored in shipwrecks scuttled intentionally after the end of the World War II. The munition shells ... -
Use of n-vector for radar applications
(2018)This paper aims to alert the radar community about the benefits of using n-vector for representing global horizontal position. Unlike other alternatives, n-vector position calculations are simple, vectorized and exact at ... -
The use of synthetic aperture sonar to survey seafloor massive sulfide deposits
(2015)With the advent of advanced deep sea mining technology, seafloor mining is poised to begin on a global scale. For the success of any mining operation, it is crucial that both the operators and regulatory bodies possess ... -
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 ... -
Using Low-Cost Radar Sensors and Action Cameras to Measure Inter-Vehicle Distances in Real-World Truck Platooning
(2023-05-06)Many modern vehicles collect inter-vehicle distance data from radar sensors as input to driver assistance systems. However, vehicle manufacturers often use proprietary algorithms to conceal the collected data, making them ... -
Using Open Standards for Utilizing IoT Sensors in a Smart City Scenario
(2018)Although the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in a smart city context primarily stems from civilian applications like management and monitoring, there are also other uses. For instance, military forces may utilize ... -
Using Publish/Subscribe for Short-lived IoT Data
(2018-09-12)Although the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in a smart city context primarily stems from civilian applications like management and monitoring, there are also other uses. For instance, military forces may utilize ... -
Using stereo SAR and InSAR by combining the COSMO-SkyMed and the TanDEM-X mission satellites for estimation of absolute height
(2013)The objective of this work is to estimate absolute height in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferograms. Since height in interferograms is relative, we use stereo SAR with several satellites to achieve absolute height ... -
Using the Pauli Scattering Mechanisms for Analysis of Polarimetric SAR Images from RADARSAT Constellation and TanDEM-X Missions
(2022-07-13)This article describes techniques for extraction of information in polarimetric images from RADARSAT constellation mission (RCM) and TanDEM-X (TDX) and TerraSAR-X (TSX) satellites. Using the boundary conditions of Maxwell's ... -
Using the Power Balance Model to Simulate Cross-Country Skiing on Varying Terrain
(2014)The current study adapts the power balance model to simulate cross-country skiing on varying terrain. We assumed that the skier’s locomotive power at a self-chosen pace is a function of speed, which is impacted by friction, ... -
Using web services to realize service oriented architecture in military communication networks
(2007)The principles of network enabled capability highlight the need for seamless information exchange. The service oriented architectural paradigm has been recognized as one of the key enablers to achieve this. At the same ... -
