Tracking airborne Legionella and Legionella pneumophila at a biological treatment plant
(2008)Biological treatment plants are frequently used to degrade organic substances in wastewater from wood refinement processes. Aeration ponds in such plants provide an optimal growth environment for many microorganisms, ... -
Underwater Acoustic Communications: Long-Term Test of Turbo Equalization in Shallow Water
(2008)Acoustic telemetry sea trials lasting for three months with experiment periods of 7 h have been carried out, using a turbo receiver. The communication channel is shallow; the depth is approximately 10 m, and the range is ... -
The Arts of Michael Moore and American Soft Power
(2009)Michael Moore is one of the most disputed authors and filmmakers in the United States. The purpose with this article is to try to shed some new insights and understandings of Moore's political views as they are represented ... -
Mass analysis of charged aerosol particles in NLC and PMSE during the ECOMA/MASS campaign
(2009)MASS (Mesospheric Aerosol Sampling Spectrometer) is a multichannel mass spectrometer for charged aerosol particles, which was flown from the Andoya Rocket Range, Norway, through NLC and PMSE on 3 August 2007 and through ... -
First in situ measurement of the vertical distribution of ice volume in a mesospheric ice cloud during the ECOMA/MASS rocket-campaign
(2009)We present in situ observations of mesospheric ice particles with a new particle detector which combines a classical Faraday cup with the active photoionization of particles and subsequent detection of photoelectrons. Our ... -
Spaceborne Bistatic SAR Processing Using the EETF4 Algorithm
(2009)In this letter, the fourth-order extended exact transfer function (EETF4) is adapted for spaceborne bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing. The problems with high squint and large bistatic Doppler centroid ... -
Real-time anomaly detection in hyperspectral images using multivariate normal mixture models and GPU processing
(2009)Hyperspectral imaging, which records a detailed spectrum of light arriving in each pixel, has many potential uses in remote sensing as well as other application areas. Practical applications will typically require real-time ... -
Critical thickness of MBE-grown Ga1-xInxSb (x < 0.2) on GaSb
(2009)Several Ga1−xInxSb layers, capped with 1 μm of GaSb, were grown on GaSb(0 0 1) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy in a Varian Gen II Modular system using either the conventional sample growth position with substrate ... -
Russia's Northern Fleet and the Oil Industry-Rivals or Partners? Petroleum, Security, and Civil-Military Relations in the Post-Cold War European Arctic
(2009)Described as one of the world's most promising new energy provinces, the European Arctic is no longer primarily seen as a military playground. Russia's approach to the region is increasingly governed by national economic ... -
When Security Speech Acts Misfire: Russia and the Elektron Incident
(2009)In October 2005, the Russian trawler Elektron refused to be subjected to arrest when caught by the Norwegian coast guard fishing illegally in the Fisheries Protection Zone off the Svalbard archipelago. With two Norwegian ... -
Effects of 4-methylimidazole on cerebral glutamate decarboxylase activity and specific GABA receptor binding in mice
(2009)4-Methylimidazole (4MeI) is a tremorogenic and convulsive agent of concern both in human and veterinary toxicology. The in vitro effects of 4MeI (5 μM–20 mM) on cerebral glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) activity and (in ... -
Evaluation of a highly discriminating multiplex multi-locus variable-number of tandem-repeats (MLVA) analysis for Vibrio cholerae
(2009)Vibrio cholerae is the etiological agent of cholera and may be used in bioterror actions due to the easiness of its dissemination, and the public fear for acquiring the cholera disease. A simple and highly discriminating ... -
XML and Web services security standards
(2009)XML and Web services are widely used in current distributed systems. The security of the XML based communication, and the Web services themselves, is of great importance to the overall security of these systems. Furthermore, ... -
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 ... -
East or West? : Ukraine's quandary

On the use of the HUGIN 1000 HUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicle for high resolution zooplankton measurements
(2010)This paper evaluates and tests the HUGIN 1000 HUS AUV as a carrier platform for the Laser Optical Plankton Counter (LOPC). The LOPC was mounted outside on top of the carrier platform, and the tests confirm that this concept ... -
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 Rise of Muslim Foreign Fighters Islam and the Globalization of Jihad
(2010)Why has transnational war volunteering increased so dramatically in the Muslim world since 1980? Standard explanations, which emphasize U.S.-Saudi support for the 1980s Afghan mujahideen, the growth of Islamism, or the ...
