Effects of a 7-days military training exercise on inflammatory biomarkers, serum hepcidin, and iron status
(2013)
Background
Hepcidin, a peptide that is released into the blood in response to inflammation, prevents cellular iron export and results in declines in iron status. Elevated serum and urinary levels of hepcidin have been ...
A Graphical User Interface for Multivariable Analysis of Silicon Solar Cells Using Scripted PC1D Simulations
(2013)
PC1D is an open source computer program for simulation of crystalline semiconductor devices, and is the most commonly used simulation software in the solar cell community today. In this work we present a modified version ...
EFFECT OF COULOMB COLLISIONS ON THE GRAVITATIONAL SETTLING OF LOW AND HIGH FIRST IONIZATION POTENTIAL ELEMENTS
(2013)
We model the effect of gravitational settling in the upper chromosphere on O, Fe, Si, and Ne, studying whether Coulomb collisions between ionized low First Ionization Potential (FIP) elements and protons is sufficient to ...
Changes in dive behavior during sonar exposure in killer whales, pilot whales and sperm whales.
(2012)
Anthropogenic underwater sound in the environment might potentially affect the behavior of marine mammals enough to have an impact on their reproduction and survival. Diving behavior of four killer whales (Orcinus orca), ...
Ultrawideband underwater acoustic communication channels
(2013)
Traditional channel models for communications research are designed for narrowband systems. Underwater acoustic communication systems use a bandwidth that is not small compared with the center frequency of the signal and ...
Effects of Infliximab and Hydrocortisone on In Vitro Cytokine Responses after Stimulation with Lipopolysaccharide
(2013)
Background: Both glucocorticosteroids and biologic drugs such as the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antagonist infliximab are used often in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease. In severe ...
Information capacity as a figure of merit for spectral imagers: the trade-off between resolution and coregistration
(2013)
The performance of spectral imagers is customarily described by several characteristics including resolution, noise, and coregistration. These must be traded off against each other in a practical imager design. This paper ...
An ATR architecture for algorithm development and testing
(2013)
A research platform with four cameras in the infrared and visible spectral domains is under development at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI). The platform will be mounted on a high-speed jet aircraft and ...
250-MHz synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator at 2.25–2.6 μm and 4.1–4.9 μm
(2012)
A compact and versatile femtosecond mid-IR source is presented, based on an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) synchronously pumped by a commercial 250-MHz Er:fiber laser. The mid-IR spectrum can be tuned in the range ...
