Effects of Cultural Diversity on Trust and its Consequences for Team Processes and Outcomes in Ad Hoc Distributed Teams
(2011)This quasi-experimental study explores trust as a mediator, explaining how cultural diversity may affect team processes and outcomes in distributed ad hoc teams. Data were collected both through self-report and direct ... -
Effects of exercise mode, energy, and macronutrientinterventions on inflammation during military training
(2016)Load carriage (LC) exercise may exacerbate inflammation during training. Nutritional supplementation may mitigate this response by sparing endogenous carbohydrate stores, enhancing glycogen repletion, and attenuating ... -
Effects of Infliximab and Hydrocortisone on In Vitro Cytokine Responses after Stimulation with Lipopolysaccharide
(2013)Background: Both glucocorticosteroids and biologic drugs such as the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antagonist infliximab are used often in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease. In severe ... -
Effects of Supplemental Energy on Protein Balance during 4-d Arctic Military Training
(2016)Soldiers often experience negative energy balance during military operations that diminish whole-body protein retention, even when dietary protein is consumed within recommended levels (1.5-2.0 g[middle dot]kg-1[middle ... -
Effects of trust, structure and processes on effectiveness in a military organization: exploring a moderated mediation model
(2021-03-05)Purpose The purpose of this study is to better understand the consequences of trust between personnel at different hierarchical levels for organizational effectiveness. The authors aim to explore the direct effects and ... -
Efficiency and productivity in the operational units of the armed forces: A Norwegian example
(2016)Most nations spend a considerable part of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. However, no previous study has addressed productivity and efficiency in the core area of the armed forces, operational units, using ... -
Efficient High-Power Ultrashort Pulse Compression in Self-Defocusing Bulk Media
(2017)Peak and average power scalability is the key feature of advancing femtosecond laser technology. Today, near-infrared light sources are capable of providing hundreds of Watts of average power. These sources, however, ... -
Electron loss and meteoric dust in the mesosphere
(2012)The ionosphere is always assumed to contain equal numbers of positive and negative charges in a given volume (quasineutrality). Hence fewer electrons than positive charges are an indication of negative charges other than ... -
ELEMENTAL ABUNDANCES IN THE FAST SOLAR WIND EMANATING FROM CHROMOSPHERIC FUNNELS
(2010)We carry out a model study to determine whether a funnel-type flow geometry in the solar wind source region leads to sufficiently fast hydrogen flow to offset heavy element gravitational settling and can thus explain why ... -
The Emergence of Russian Private Military Companies: A New Tool of Clandestine Warfare
(2020-03-19)In recent years, the Russian private security and military company (PMSC) industry has evolved to serve the needs of both business clients as well as governments. Thus far, the ties between the Kremlin and the Russian PMSC ... -
En ny al-Gaddafi? Feltmarskalk Khalifa Haftar
(2017)Den tidligere libyske offiseren Khalifa Haftar har etablert seg som den sterkeste aktøren i Libya. Hvordan klarte han å manøvrere seg frem til en maktposisjon etter den libyske revolusjonen? Hva er hans langsiktige mål, ... -
En tragedie i tre akter - framveksten av den islamske staten
(2014)Organisasjonen som i dag kaller seg Den islamske staten, og dens forgjengere, har vokst fram som en konsekvens av konflikter som i utgangspunktet oppsto uavhengig av dem – først og fremst et militært og politisk sammenbrudd ... -
Enantioselectivity, swelling and stability of 4-hydroxyprolinol containing acrylic polymer beads in the asymmetric reduction of ketones
(2011)A new 4-hydroxy-α,α-diphenyl-l-prolinol containing polymethacrylate, prepared without chromatography by a large scale adaptable synthesis, has been evaluated as a catalyst in the asymmetric reduction of 1-arylethanones. ... -
Energy deficit increases hepcidin and exacerbates declines in dietary iron absorption following strenuous physical activity: a randomized-controlled cross-over trial
(2020-11-12)Background Strenuous physical activity promotes inflammation and depletes muscle glycogen, which may increase the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin. Hepcidin reduces dietary iron absorption and may contribute to declines ... -
Energy Partition in Magnetic Reconnection in Earth's Magnetotail
(2013)The partition of energy flux in magnetic reconnection is examined experimentally using Cluster satellite observations of collisionless reconnection in Earth’s magnetotail. In this plasma regime, the dominant component of ... -
Energy-scale Aware Feature Extraction for Flow Visualization
(2011)In the visualization of flow simulation data, feature detectors often tend to result in overly rich response, making some sort of filtering or simplification necessary to convey meaningful images. In this paper we present ... -
Enhancement in Light Emission From Hg-Cd-Te Due to Surface Patterning
(2011)Enhancement of light emission from HgCdTe due to surface patterning has been studied by means of photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. A triangular pattern of circular holes was etched into the CdTe layer grown on top of ... -
Enhancing far-field thermal emission with thermal extraction
(2013)The control of thermal radiation is of great current importance for applications such as energy conversions and radiative cooling. Here we show theoretically that the thermal emission of a finite-size blackbody emitter can ... -
Environmental Adaptation of Robot Morphology and Control Through Real-world Evolution
(2021-03-30)Robots operating in the real world will experience a range of different environments and tasks. It is essential for the robot to have the ability to adapt to its surroundings to work efficiently in changing conditions. ...
