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 ... -
USRP based cognitive radar testbed
(2017)Cognitive radar is a relatively new field of research and the existence of low cost experimental testbeds is limited. This work will show the development of a low cost experimental testbed for experimental validation of ... -
Utilizing Zirconium MOF-functionalized fiber substrates prepared by molecular layer deposition (MLD) for toxic gas capture and chemical warfare agent degradation
(2021-09-12)Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous organic-inorganic solids extensively explored for numerous applications owing to their catalytic activity and high surface area. In this work MOF thin films deposited in ... -
Validation of replay-based underwater acoustic communication channel simulation
(2013)This paper discusses validation methods for underwater acoustic communication channel simulators, and validates direct and stochastic replay of underwater acoustic communication channels as implemented in a channel simulator ... -
Valproate is neuroprotective against malonate toxicity in rat striatum: an association with augmentation of high-affinity glutamate uptake
(2004)The antiepileptic drug valproate (VPA) may be neuroprotective. We treated rats with VPA for 14 days (300 mg/kg twice daily) before intrastriatal injection of 1.5 μmol (1 M) of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor malonate. ... -
Variability of Gaseous Attenuation at Very Low Elevation Angle Slant Paths; Measurements and Modelling
(2020-07-08)Gaseous attenuation variability for a 3.2° elevation angle satellite link operating at 20 GHz in the Norwegian Arctic is analyzed and compared with different models. At a very low elevation link like this one, gaseous ... -
Vehicle Safety of the Velocity Obstacle Algorithm
(2021-01)This paper presents a mathematical analysis of the velocity obstacle algorithm applied to a nonholonomic vehicle for avoiding a moving obstacle in the plane. The velocity obstacle algorithm can be used for local navigation ... -
Velgeren som tilskuer: "Valgbarisme" i amerikanske presidentvalg
(2021)Hensyn til valgbarhet har i kraft av det amerikanske politiske systemets virkemåte bestandig vært et moment i presidentvalg. I nominasjonskampen i 2020 har dette hensynet imidlertid vært viktigere for et flertall av velgere ... -
VErsatile RAdar – RFSoC based radar demonstrator for multiple applications
(2022-10-04)The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) VeRa (Versatile Radar) is a radar demonstrator for multiple applications based on the 1st generation Xilinx RF System on Chip (RFSoC). This paper describes the hardware ... -
Very-High-Frequency Single-Input–Multiple-Output Acoustic Communication in Shallow Water
(2018)Very-high-frequency (VHF) underwater acoustic communication is a relatively unexplored terrain, but its importance is expected to increase with the growing demands for larger bandwidths and higher data rates. Knowledge of ... -
Vibrational Corrections to NMR Spin-Spin Coupling Constants from Relativistic Four-Component DFT Calculations
(2022-09-22)Zero-point vibrational (ZPV) corrections to the nuclear spin–spin coupling constants have been calculated using four-component Dirac–Kohn–Sham DFT for H2X (where X = O, S, Se, Te, Po), XH3 (where X = N, P, As, Sb, Bi), and ... -
War and the Willingness to Resist and Fight in Ukraine
(2023-12-05)This study explores the effects of Russia's use of military force on the Ukrainian willingness to fight and resist. We find assumptions from the theoretical literature on the willingness to fight of limited relevance. ... -
War in Europe, but Still Low Tension in the High North? An Analysis of Norwegian Mitigation Strategies
(2024)Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created the most precarious security situation in Europe, including the High North, since the Second World War. This article studies how Norway manages High North security dilemmas in the ... -
