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 ... -
Antenna Processing Optimization for a Colocated MIMO Radar
(2016)In a practical colocated MIMO radar design case, there will often not be a free choice of locations for single element antennas. Antenna parts may be available as rectangular arrays of antenna elements located on tiles, ... -
An application of a combined framework to set the future direction of the Norwegian Home Guard
(2020-02-17)In 2017, the Norwegian Ministry of Defence and the Norwegian Home Guard commissioned a research project to help set a future identity and direction for the reserve-based Home Guard. Using a combination of frameworks, we ... -
Architectural work for modeling and simulation combining the NATO Architecture Framework and C3 Taxonomy
(2016)To provide modeling and simulation functionality as services is strategically leveraged in the defense domain and elsewhere. To describe and understand the context, the ecosystem, wherein such services are used and ... -
Arctic Maritime Surveillance With Sentinel-1 Data Using a Norwegian Collaborative Ground Segment
(2017)The Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites provide data for European Union's Copernicus program. Norway uses SAR satellites operationally to monitor Norway's maritime areas of interest. ... -
Are team personality and climate related to satisfaction and software quality? Aggregating results from a twice replicated experiment
(2015)Context Research into software engineering teams focuses on human and social team factors. Social psychology deals with the study of team formation and has found that personality factors and group processes such as team ... -
The Arts of Michael Moore and American Soft Power
(2009)Michael Moore is one of the most disputed authors and filmmakers in the United States. The purpose with this article is to try to shed some new insights and understandings of Moore's political views as they are represented ... -
Assessing Islamic State’s Commitment to Attacking the West
(2015)How much of a terrorist threat does the Islamic State (IS) pose to Western countries? This article looks at what IS has said and done with regard to attacks in the West. We examine IS statements and take stock of IS-related ... -
Assessment of intake of copper and lead by sheep grazing on a shooting range for small arms: a case study.
(2018-04-11)The Norwegian Armed Forces’ shooting ranges contain contamination by metals such as lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) and are often used as grazing pastures for livestock. To determine whether the sheep were at risk from grazing ... -
Assessment of the dispersion of Legionella-containing aerosols from a biological treatment plant
(2011)Legionella was detected in aeration ponds (biological treatment plant) at Borregaard Ind. Ltd., Norway, and in air samples harvested directly above these ponds. Since 2005, three outbreaks of legionellosis occurred within ... -
