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. ... -
Equipment to tag, track and collect biopsies from whales and dolphins: the ARTS, DFHorten and LKDart systems
(2022-10-21)Of all animals considered subjects for instrumentation for behavioral or physiological studies, cetaceans probably represent the greatest challenge to the engineer and biologist. The marine environment being harsh to ... -
Er Nato en effektiv allianse? Om forholdet mellom kollektivt forsvar og internasjonale operasjoner
(2015)Hvilke forhold er det som bestemmer Natos effektivitet som allianse, og hvorfor er det slik at Nato av mange anses som best egnet til å være en kollektiv forsvarsallianse? Med et liberalt-institusjonalistisk utgangspunkt ... -
ERS tandem InSAR processing for DEM generation, glacier motion estimation and coherence analysis on Svalbard
(2003)This paper describes the unique InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) processing algorithms at Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) and how ERS (European Remote Sensing Satellite) tandem data are used ... -
Estimated tissue and blood N2 levels and risk of in vivo bubble formation in deep-, intermediate and shallow diving toothed whales during exposure to naval sonar.
(2012)Naval sonar has been accused of causing whale stranding by a mechanism which increases formation of tissue N2 gas bubbles. Increased tissue and blood N2 levels, and thereby increased risk of decompression sickness (DCS), ...
