'Bomb-making for beginners': Inside an al-Qaida e-learning course
(2013)This study explores how terrorists utilize the Internet to learn bomb-making skills. Unlike previous studies, it does not focus on assessing the quality of online bomb recipes. Rather, it discusses the efforts being made ... -
Bond strength and performance of optical fibre Bragg gratings sensors embedded in composite patch repairs for military aircraft
(2016)Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are recognized as a key element in a modern and efficient approach to structural lifecycle management. With novel applications of advanced materials, such as extensive use of ... -
Botulism outbreaks in natural environments - an update
(2014)Clostridium botulinum comprises a diverse group of botulinum toxin-producing anaerobic rod-shaped spore-forming bacteria that are ubiquitously distributed in soils and aquatic sediments. Decomposition of plants, algae, and ... -
Brain infection with Staphylococcus aureus leads to high extracellular levels of glutamate, aspartate, γ-aminobutyric acid, and zinc
(2014)Staphylococcal brain infections may cause mental deterioration and epileptic seizures, suggesting interference with normal neurotransmission in the brain. We injected Staphylococcus aureus into rat striatum and found an ... -
Breathing patterns indicate cost of exercise during diving and response to experimental sound exposures in long-finned pilot whales
(2018)Air-breathing marine predators that target sub-surface prey have to balance the energetic benefit of foraging against the time, energetic and physiological costs of diving. Here we use on-animal data loggers to assess ... -
Bringing the economy back in: The political economy of security sector reform
(2013)The mechanisms underlying the relation between development and security are difficult to define and poorly understood. This has not hindered various donor countries, NGOs, or international organizations from designing and ... -
Brutal oppmerksomhet: Al-Qaida i Irak på nett
(2012)Voldelige grupperinger som al-Qaida i Irak benytter seg av internett for å få internasjonal oppmerksomhet. De er imidlertid fortsatt avhengig av en viss grad av territoriell kontroll, og det kan oppstå et motsetningsforhold ... -
Calculation of decomposition products from components of gunpowder by using ReaxFF reactive force field molecular dynamics and thermodynamic calculations of equilibrium composition
(2014)The major combustion products from munitions containing nitro-based propellants are water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and nitrogen. In addition, compounds including hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, methane, nitrogen ... -
Calibration target for extraction of frequency dependency in synthetic aperture sonar
(2019-12-03)Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) can provide high resolution images of the seafloor backscatter. A current research topic is whether wider bandwidth and lower frequencies can support better discrimination of different ... -
Calprotectin (S100A8/S100A9) and myeloperoxidase: Co-regulators of formation of reactive oxygen species
(2010)Inflammatory mediators trigger polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS: O2-, H2O2, ∙OH). Mediated by myeloperoxidase in PMN, HOCl is formed, detectable in a chemiluminescence (CL) assay. ... -
Can the absolute configuration of cyclic peptides be determined with vibrational circular dichroism?
(2023-05-16)Cyclic peptides show a wide range of biological activities, among others as antibacterial agents. These peptides are often large and flexible with multiple chiral centers. The determination of the stereochemistry of molecules ... -
Capacities of metabotropic glutamate modulators in counteracting soman-induced seizures in rats
(2013)The mechanisms underlying insulin sensitivity and fat tissue distribution in chronic renal insufficiency remain unclear. Previous studies have shown the benefits of angiotensin II receptor blockers on moderately nourished ... -
Cardiovascular and thermal strain during 3–4 days of a metabolically demanding cold‑weather military operation
(2017)Background Cardiovascular (CV) and thermal responses to metabolically demanding multi-day military operations in extreme cold-weather environments are not well described. Characterization of these operations will provide ... -
Cascade dynamics of thermomagnetic avalanches in superconducting films with holes
(2015)The submicrosecond dynamics of thermomagnetic avalanches in superconducting films with nonconducting holes (antidots) is considered. When such an avalanche reaches a hole, it is quickly filled with magnetic flux, and often ... -
CBAM: A Contextual Model for Network Anomaly Detection
(2021)Anomaly-based intrusion detection methods aim to combat the increasing rate of zero-day attacks, however, their success is currently restricted to the detection of high-volume attacks using aggregated traffic features. ... -
CEP-stable few-cycle pulses with more than 190 μJ of energy at 100 kHz from a noncollinear optical parametric amplifier
(2017)Noncollinear optical parametric amplifiers (NOPAs) have become the leading technique for the amplification of carrier-envelope phase (CEP)-stable, few-cycle pulses at high repetition rate and high average power. In this ... -
Cerebrospinal Fluid Phosphate in Delirium after Hip Fracture
(2017)Aims: Phosphate is essential for neuronal activity. We aimed to investigate whether delirium is associated with altered phosphate concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum. Methods: Seventy-seven patients with ... -
Challenges for Risk and Security Modelling in Enterprise Architecture
(2019-11-19)From our experience cooperating with the Norwegian Armed Forces, we outline two interconnected challenges for modelling risk and security in an enterprise architecture: (1) modelling what is protected and why it is protected ...
