Mid-infrared source with 0.2 J pulse energy based on nonlinear conversion of Q-switched pulses in ZnGeP2
(2014)Mid-infrared (3–5 μm) pulses with high energy are produced using nonlinear conversion in a ZnGeP2-based master oscillator-power amplifier, pumped by a Q-switched cryogenic Ho:YLF oscillator. The master oscillator is based ... -
Military Applications of Internet of Things: Operational Concerns Explored in Context of a Prototype Wearable
(2021-10)Internet of Things (IoT), due to its inherently automated behavior and low development costs, coupled with the emergence of wireless technologies combined with small-sized hardware, has become one of the defining ... -
Military Innovation Under Authoritarian Government – the Case of Russian Special Operations Forces
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-08-26)Russian Special Forces saw significant changes to both organization and doctrine in the years after 2008. The special forces of the General Staff’s Main Intelligence Directorate were reduced in number, the organization’s ... -
Military Muscle-Flexing as Interstate Communication: Russian NOTAM Warnings off the Coast of Norway, 2015–2021
(2022-06-14)When, where, and why does Russia issue warnings about missile launches and other potentially dangerous military activities in international waters and airspace west and north of Norway? Drawing on information derived from ... -
Military Off the Shelf Procurements: A Norwegian Case Study
(2017-06-19)Buying off the shelf procurements (OTS) has become an important part of the national acquisition strategy in several countries, and this paper seeks to bring empirical evidence on OTS as the preferred acquisition strategy ... -
Military small arms fire in association with acute decrements in lung function
(2017)Objective After introduction of unleaded ammunition, Norwegian Armed Forces received reports of acute respiratory symptoms in soldiers after exposure to fumes from firing the standard weapon, HK416. The aim of the present ... -
Military training elicits marked increases in plasmametabolomic signatures of energy metabolism, lipolysis,fatty acid oxidation, and ketogenesis
(2017)Military training studies provide unique insight into metabolic responses to extreme physiologic stress induced by multiple stressor environments, and the impacts of nutrition in mediating these responses. Advances in ... -
MIMO synthetic aperture sonar: Benefits and limitations
(2023-01-16)The use of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) orthogonally coded waveforms sharing the same bandwidth, has the potential to increase area coverage rate in synthetic aperture sonar (SAS). The disadvantage is cross-talk ... -
Minimum Variance Signal Selection for Aorta Radius Estimation Using Radar
(2010)This paper studies the optimum signal choice for the estimation of the aortic blood pressure via aorta radius, using a monostatic radar configuration. The method involves developing the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for a ... -
Minute-scale period oscillations of the magnetosphere
(2011)Oscillations with periods on the order of 5–10 min have been observed by instrumented spacecrafts in the Earth's magnetosphere. These oscillations often follow sudden impacts related to coronal mass ejections. It is ... -
Mission command: A self-determination theory perspective
(2023-09-13)It is well documented that leadership behavior influences employees’ motivation. In particular are autonomy-supportive leadership styles associated with desirable outcomes through basic psychological needs satisfaction and ... -
Mitotic catastrophe in BC3H1 cells following yessotoxin exposure
(2017)The marine toxin yessotoxin (YTX) can cause various cytotoxic effects depending on cell type and cell line. It is well known to trigger distinct mechanisms for programmed cell death which may overlap or cross-talk. The ... -
Mixel camera - a new push-broom camera concept for high spatial resolution keystone-free hyperspectral imaging
(2013)Current high-resolution push-broom hyperspectral cameras introduce keystone errors to the captured data. Efforts to correct these errors in hardware severely limit the optical design, in particular with respect to light ... -
Mobile information platforms in the military domain
(2015)his paper presents a preliminary study of attitude, compatibility, effort and performance expectancy for potential use of mobile information platforms, like smartphones and pads, in the military domain. Although mobile ... -
Mobile Tactical Forces: Experiments on Multi-broker Messaging Middleware in a Coalition Setting
(2019-11-25)The environment in which tactical forces operate is characterized by disconnected intermittent connectivity and limited bandwidth (DIL). This environment significantly constrains the application of widely used technologies. ... -
A model for the viscous dissipation rate in stably stratified, sheared turbulence
(2013)A model for the turbulence dissipation rate in stably stratified shear turbulence is developed and validated. The functional dependence of the model is derived from first principles and it represents a conceptually new ... -
Modeling and Simulation as a Service infrastructure capabilities for discovery, composition and execution of simulation services
(2020-01-13)Modeling and Simulation as a Service (MSaaS) embodies the idea that simulations should be composed quickly for the task at hand from loosely coupled shared components, simulation services, in a cloud-based environment. ... -
Modeling Effectiveness of Gradual Increases in Source Level to Mitigate Effects of Sonar on Marine Mammals
(2014)Ramp-up or soft-start procedures (i.e., gradual increase in the source level) are used to mitigate the effect of sonar sound on marine mammals, although no one to date has tested whether ramp-up procedures are effective ... -
