Systemic approaches for emission reduction in industrial plants based on physical accounting: example for an aluminium smelter
(2022-01-22)Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting in industrial plants usually has multiple purposes, including mandatory reporting, shareholder and stakeholder communication, developing key performance indicators (KPIs), or informing ... -
Systemic Chemical Desensitization of Peptidergic Sensory Neurons with Resiniferatoxin Inhibits Experimental Periodontitis
(2011)Background and objective: The immune system is an important player in the pathophysiology of periodontitis. The brain controls immune responses via neural and hormonal pathways, and brain-neuro-endocrine dysregulation ... -
Særalderspensjon i et nytt pensjonssystem
(2016)Pensjonssystemet i offentlig sektor er i endring. Blant annet kan særaldersgrenser komme til å avskaffes som en ordning finansiert gjennom Statens pensjonskasse, og hvor departementene selv kan betale for å videreføre dem. ... -
Tactical Router Interoperability: Concepts and Experiments
(2018)Interoperability on the lower tactical levels, e.g. in a multinational battalion or team, poses challenges because of the high degree of mobility and limited data capacity at the tactical edge. Enabling such multi-national ... -
Temperature dependent lattice constant of Al0.90Ga0.10AsySb1-y
(2010)Using x-ray diffraction, the in-plane and out-of-plane lattice constants of Al0.90Ga0.10AsySb1−y epilayers grown on GaSb and GaAs substrates were determined between 30 and 398 °C for y = 0.003–0.059. The bulk lattice ... -
Temporal dynamics in microbial soil communities at anthrax carcass sites
(2017)Background Anthrax is a globally distributed disease affecting primarily herbivorous mammals. It is caused by the soil-dwelling and spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The dormant B. anthracis spores become ... -
Temporal stability of X-band single-pass InSAR heights in a spruce forest: Effects of acquisition properties and season
(2015)We investigated the stability of TanDEM-X interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) heights across eight repeated acquisitions. With InSAR height we mean the height above ground of the scattering phase center. We ... -
Temporal variability of the bioaerosol background at a subway station: Concentration level, size distribution, and diversity of airborne bacteria
(2014)Naturally occurring bioaerosol environments may present a challenge to biological detection-identification-monitoring (BIODIM) systems aiming at rapid and reliable warning of bioterrorism incidents. One way to improve the ... -
Terahertz imaging of composite materials in reflection and transmission mode with a time-domain spectroscopy system
(2016)A fiber-coupled Terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) system based on photoconductive antennas, pumped by a 100-fs fiber laser, has been used to characterize materials in transmission and reflection mode. THz images ... -
Terrain referenced navigation using sand dunes and sand ripples in presence of tides
(2018)We investigated using terrain referenced navigation in shallow water in the presence of unknown tide, with an autonomous underwater vehicle equipped with a high resolution bathymetric sensor. The mission area had both ... -
Tetanus: Pathophysiology, Treatment, and the Possibility of Using Botulinum Toxin against Tetanus-Induced Rigidity and Spasms
(2013)Tetanus toxin, the product of Clostridium tetani, is the cause of tetanus symptoms. Tetanus toxin is taken up into terminals of lower motor neurons and transported axonally to the spinal cord and/or brainstem. Here the ... -
The ECOMA 2007 campaign: rocket observations and numerical modelling of aerosol particle charging and plasma depletion in a PMSE/NLC layer
(2009)The ECOMA series of rocket payloads use a set of aerosol particle, plasma, and optical instruments to study the properties of aerosol particles and their interaction with the ambient plasma environment in the polar mesopause ... -
Thermal infrared reference sources fabricated from low-cost components and materials
(2018)Mass markets, including mobile phones and automotive sensors, drive rapid developments of imaging technologies toward high performance, low cost sensors, even for the thermal infrared. Good infrared calibration blackbody ... -
Third-generation femtosecond technology
(2014)Femtosecond pulse generation was pioneered four decades ago using mode-locked dye lasers, which dominated the field for the following 20 years. Dye lasers were then replaced with titanium-doped sapphire (Ti:Sa) lasers, ... -
Thirty years after its foundation – where is al-Qaida going?
(2017)This article presents a framework for understanding al-Qaida, based on a new reading of its thirty-year history. Al-Qaida today is commonly labelled a ‘global insurgency’ or ‘global franchise.’ However, these labels are ... -
The threat of war and domestic restraints to defence reform- how fear of major military conflict changed and did not change the Ukrainian military 2014-2019
(2019-12-19)The annexation of Crimea and the Russia enabled rebellion in Donbas created a need for radical improvements of Ukrainian military capability. This study discusses how different, mostly domestic, reform drivers and reform ... -
Three-dimensional multiple-source focalization in an uncertain ocean environment
(2013)This letter develops a Bayesian focalization approach for three-dimensional localization of an unknown number of sources in shallow water with uncertain environmental properties. The algorithm minimizes the Bayesian ... -
Three-dimensional signal decomposition of infrared image sequences and large-scale non-uniformity analysis
(2020-09-20)The three-dimensional noise model is a methodology to analyse the noise of a thermal imaging sensor, such as an infrared (IR) camera. This allows us to decompose a noisy signal into components and quantify properties such ... -
Three-Site Diversity at Ka-Band Satellite Links in Norway: Gain, Fade Duration and the Impact of Switching Schemes
