'Abdallah 'Azzam and Palestine
(2013)ʿAbdallāh ʿAzzām (1941–1989) helped make jihadism more transnational by spearheading the effort to bring Muslim foreign fighters to Afghanistan in the 1980s. But why would a West Bank native devote himself to a war in ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Accumulation of lead (Pb) in brown trout (Salmo trutta) from a lake downstream a former shooting range
(2017)An environmental survey was performed in Lake Kyrtjønn, a small lake within an abandoned shooting range in the south of Norway. In Lake Kyrtjønn the total water concentrations of Pb (14 µg/L), Cu (6.1 µg/L) and Sb (1.3 ... -
Acoustic seabed classification using QTC IMPACT on single-beam echo sounder data from the Norwegian Channel, northern North Sea
(2013)Sediment mapping is important for understanding the physical processes, the impact of human activity, and the conditions for marine life on the seabed. For this purpose, the seabed classification tool QTC IMPACT analyses ... -
Active spacecraft potential control investigation
(2014)In tenuous plasma the floating potential of sunlit spacecraft reaches tens of volts, positive. The corresponding field disturbs measurements of the ambient plasma by electron and ion sensors and can reduce micro-channel ... -
Adapting OLSR for WSNs (iOLSR) Using Locally Increasing Intervals
(2012)Proactive link state routing protocols, popular within the Mobile Ad hoc NETwork framework, have not been as successful in wireless sensor networks. This is mainly due to the extensive energy usage by control traffic ... -
Adaptive phase estimation filter in long range synthetic aperture sonar interferometry
(2023-05-15)Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) interferometry is a technique for very high resolution imaging and mapping of the seabed. In SAS interferometry, the seabed depth estimation performance is a function of the system, the ... -
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 ... -
Advice from the Scientific Advisory Board of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons on riot control agents in connection to the Chemical Weapons Convention
(2018-12-19)Compounds that cause powerful sensory irritation to humans were reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in response to requests in 2014 and 2017 ... -
Agile requirements handling in a service-oriented taxonomy of capabilities
(2016)To get to grips with information systems portfolio development, strategic decisions tend towards service orientation and cloud deployment. Functionality should be presented as services that can be consumed from secure ... -
Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghrib’s Expansion in the Sahara: New Insights from Primary Sources
(2020-09-24)Although originating in Algeria, AQIM and its allies had by 2012 become so entrenched in the Sahel that they were in de-facto control of vast swathes of territory in northern Mali. This article explains how and why GSPC/AQIM ... -
All Molecular Surfaces are Equal: Demanding Invariance of Predictions in Linear Single-Variable Models
(2016)The molecular surface has been suggested to be a region of the molecule where information of non-covalent intermolecular interactions is present. Many workers have pursued this idea by constructing models based on statistical ... -
All solid-state spectral broadening: An average and peak power scalable method for compression of ultrashort pulses
(2016)Spectral broadening in bulk material is a simple, robust and low-cost method to extend the bandwidth of a laser source. Consequently, it enables ultrashort pulse compression. Experiments with a 38 MHz repetition rate, 50 ... -
Analysis of detection performance of incoherent range walk compensation for passive radar
(2015)This paper analyzes the performance of an incoherent range walk compensation method for passive radar systems. The method utilizes the velocity information in the range-Doppler map, and no detection before compensation ... -
Analysis of samples of high explosives extracted from explosive remnants of war
(2022-10-10)Millions of tonnes of dumped ammunition and explosive remnants of war remain in nature both on land and at sea. It is well known that the ordnance could represent a definite explosive risk if disturbed, and that some of ... -
Anisotropic scattered data interpolation for pushbroom image rectification
(2014)This paper deals with fast and accurate visualization of pushbroom image data from airborne and spaceborne platforms. A pushbroom sensor acquires images in a line-scanning fashion, and this results in scattered input data ... -
Anisotropy and shear-layer edge dynamics of statistically unsteady,stratified turbulence
(2015)Direct numerical simulation data of an evolving Kelvin-Helmholtz instability have been analyzed in order to characterize the dynamic and kinematic response of shear-generated turbulent flow to imposed stable stratification. ... -
Anonymous Tokens with Public Metadata and Applications to Private Contact Tracing
(2022-10-22)Anonymous single-use tokens have seen recent applications in private Internet browsing and anonymous statistics collection. We develop new schemes in order to include public metadata such as expiration dates for tokens. ... -
Ansar al-Sharia in Libya: An Enduring Threat
(2017)Ansar al-Sharia in Libya (ASL) is one of the most powerful jihadi groups in Libya and it might, in fact, represent a more significant long-term threat than IS’ provinces in Libya. However, there are few recent studies of ...
