Spatial coherence of speckle for repeat-pass synthetic aperture sonar micronavigation
(2021-03-31)Accurate positioning of autonomous underwater vehicles is a major challenge. The long-term drift is problematic if global position updates are not available, and for applications such as repeat-pass interferometry and ... -
Spawning Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) exposed to noise from seismic airguns do not abandon their spawning site
(2022-11-15)Seismic airgun surveys may disturb and displace fish at large ranges. If such displacement causes fish to abandon spawning grounds, reproductive success could be impacted. To investigate whether airgun sound causes cod ... -
Specifying radiometric performance of hyperspectral and conventional cameras: A minimal set of independent characteristics
(2020)The radiometric performance of cameras is customarily characterized and specified in terms of component properties such as F-number and readout noise. This paper considers the camera as an integrated unit and derives ... -
Spectral characteristics of moist birch leaves and synthetic materials: experimental studies and evaluation of models
(2021-11-09)The optical depth of biomaterials and natural backgrounds varies with their environment and incoming light properties. Deciduous trees, for instance, have canopy thicknesses that vary significantly from one place to another. ... -
Spectral properties of multilayered oak leaves and a camouflage net: experimental measurements and mathematical modelling
(2021-09-21)The development of state-of-the-art surveillance technology forces nations to develop camouflage with advanced capabilities. Owing to the abundance and wide distribution of leaves, their spectral properties are often ... -
Spectral reflectance and transmission properties of a multi-layered camouflage net: Comparison with natural birch leaves and mathematical models
(2020-09-20)With improved specifications and capabilities of modern sensors and detectors, concealment is an increasingly challenging endeavor. Concealment from modern sensors requires advanced camouflage material that can provide low ... -
Spectral reflectance measurements of snow and snow covered objects: experimental studies compared with mathematical models
(2021-09-12)In this study, we have investigated reflectance spectra of different snow types under various conditions. Snow reflectance is interesting from a camouflage point of view as snow covers large land areas in many parts of the ... -
Sperm whales reduce foraging effort during exposure to 1-2 kH z sonar and killer whale sounds
(2016)The time and energetic costs of behavioral responses to incidental and experimental sonar exposures, as well as control stimuli, were quantified using hidden state analysis of time series of acoustic and movement data ... -
Spin scan tomographic array-based imager
(2014)This work presents a novel imaging device based on tomographic reconstruction. Similar in certain aspects to the earlier presented tomographic scanning (TOSCA) principle, it provides several important enhancements. The ... -
Spin scan tomographic imager
(2015)A novel imaging device based on tomographic reconstruction is presented. The imager is based on rotating an image of the scene onto a linear detector array, and then reconstructing a 2-dimensional image from the detector ... -
Spin-vibronic interaction induced reverse intersystem crossing: A case study with TXO-TPA and TXO-PhCz molecules
(2022-11-01)We highlight the important roles the direct spin–orbit (DSO) coupling, the spin-vibronic (SV) coupling, and the dielectric constant of the medium play on the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) mechanism of TXO-TPA and ... -
The stabilising effect by a novel cable cerclage configuration in long cephalomedullary nailing of subtrochanteric fractures with a posteromedial wedge
(2019-05-16)Background Clinical studies suggest that an adjunctive cerclage in intramedullary nailing of subtrochanteric fractures improves the outcome. Despite this, to what extent various cerclage configurations influences the ... -
Standoff detection of biological agents using laser induced fluorescence - a comparison of 294 nm and 355 nm excitation wavelengths
(2012)Standoff detection measuring the fluorescence spectra of seven different biological agents excited by 294 nm as well as 355 nm wavelength laser pulses has been undertaken. The biological warfare agent simulants were released ... -
Statistical and Algebraic Properties of DES
(2016)D. Davies and S. Murphy found that there are at most 660 different probability distributions on the output from any three adjacent S-boxes after 16 rounds of DES [5]. In this paper it is shown that there are only 72 different ... -
Statistics-based filtering for low signal-to-noise ratios, applied to rocket plume imaging
(2017)Extracting information from low signal to noise ratio images poses significant challenges. Noise makes extracting spatial features difficult, in particular if extraction of both large, smooth features at the same time as ... -
A Status Update on Quantum Safe Cryptography
(2021-07-20)There is an ongoing effort to standardize asymmetric cryptography that should not be attackable by a quantum computer. The process is now into its final rounds. From 69 initial submissions from academia and industry, a ... -
Stochastic Analysis of England Grain Prices 1750-1850
(2012)We study the prices of grain in England 1750-1850, with special attention to the Tamboro volcano eruption time period 1815-1820. Two different types of time series are constructed and compared with the historical data. ... -
Stochastic space interval as a link between quantum randomness and macroscopic randomness?
(2017)For many stochastic phenomena, we observe statistical distributions that have fat-tails and high-peaks compared to the Gaussian distribution. In this paper, we will explain how observable statistical distributions in the ... -
Stochastic Theories and Deterministic Differential Equations
(2010-05)We discuss the concept of “hydrodynamic” stochastic theory, which is not based on the traditional Markovian concept. A Wigner function developed for friction is used for the study of operators in quantum physics, and for ... -
Strain rate dependency and fragmentation pattern of expanding warheads
(2014-12-22)For the characterization of the behaviors of a metal material in events like expanding warheads, it is necessary to know its strength and ductility at high strain rates, around 104 e105 /s. The flyer plate impact testing ...
