A survey of dioxin-like contaminants in fish from recreational fishing
(2015)
The dioxin and dioxin-like compounds are regarded as one of the most toxic group of environmental contaminants. Food for the commercial market is regularly monitored for their dioxin levels and the concentration allowed ...
Robust Identification of Concealed Dangerous Substances by Spectral Correlation of Terahertz Transmission Images
(2015)
Terahertz (THz) images containing spectral information in each pixel are recorded in transmission mode using a fiber-coupled time-domain spectroscopy system. The images are acquired by mounting a sample holder on an x-y ...
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 ...
Disruptive camouflage tricks the human eye - a study of detection times of two near-similar targets in natural backgrounds
(2015)
Our understanding of camouflage, in military as well as in evolutionary perspectives, has been developing over the last 100 years. In that period of time several underlying principles have emerged. It has turned out in the ...
Compact airborne C-band radar sounder
(2014)
We describe a lightweight wideband C-band radar sounder, which is designed for use in a small unmanned aerial vehicle, primarily for measuring snow and ice. The waveform used is a gated frequency modulated continuous wave, ...
A hybrid recorded-synthetic sonar data set for validation of ASW classification algorithms
(2015)
Modern anti-submarine warfare sonars are often designed with narrow beamwidths and wide frequency bandwidths in order to maximize spatial resolution and sonar performance. A known issue for high-resolution sonars in littoral ...
Are team personality and climate related to satisfaction and software quality? Aggregating results from a twice replicated experiment
(2015)
Context
Research into software engineering teams focuses on human and social team factors. Social psychology deals with the study of team formation and has found that personality factors and group processes such as team ...
A Radon-Transform-Based Image Noise Filter - With Applications to Multibeam Bathymetry
(2015)
This paper describes a linear-image-transform-based algorithm for reducing stripe noise, track line artifacts, and motion-induced errors in remote sensing data. Developed for multibeam bathymetry (MB), the method has also ...
All solid-state spectral broadening: An average and peak power scalable method for compression of ultrashort pulses
(2016)
Spectral broadening in bulk material is a simple, robust and low-cost method to extend the bandwidth of a laser source. Consequently, it enables ultrashort pulse compression. Experiments with a 38 MHz repetition rate, 50 ...
European defence research in crisis? The way towards strategic autonomy
(2016)
Defence research, in the form of both research and development (R&D) and research and technology (R&T), are important factors in achieving long-term European strategic autonomy. The present paper analyses this debate from ...
