The social context of individual foraging behaviour in long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas)
(2014)
Long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) are highly social cetaceans that live in matrilineal groups and acquire their prey during deep foraging dives. We tagged individual pilot whales to record their diving behaviour. ...
Low-energy enhancement of nuclear γ strength and its impact on astrophysical reaction rates
(2014)
An unexpected enhancement in the low-energy part of the γ-strength function for light and medium-mass nuclei has been discovered at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory. This enhancement could lead to an increase in the neutron-capture ...
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, ...
Coherent range and Doppler-walk compensation in PBR applications
(2014)
The focus of PBR research has shifted from FM to also include DVB-T and DAB over the last years, and are facing the challenges of higher bandwidth, i.e. improved range resolution. While the FM based PBR systems primarily ...
Microvesicle Shedding and Lysosomal Repair Fulfill Divergent Cellular Needs during the Repair of Streptolysin O-Induced Plasmalemmal Damage
(2014)
Pathogenic bacteria secrete pore-forming toxins that permeabilize the plasma membrane of host cells. Nucleated cells possess protective mechanisms that repair toxin-damaged plasmalemma. Currently two putative repair scenarios ...
Selected Issues of QoS Provision in Heterogenous Military Networks
(2014)
Tactical ad-hoc networks are evolving today towards complex heterogeneous networks in terms of architecture, protocols and security. Due to the difference in network resources and reliability, end-to-end quality of service ...
Compact camera for multispectral and conventional imaging based on patterned filters
(2014)
A multispectral camera concept is presented. The concept is based on using a patterned filter in the focal plane, combined with scanning of the field of view. The filter layout has stripes of different bandpass filters ...
Mathematical simulation of enegy expenditure and recovery during sprint cross-country skiing
(2014)
Purpose: A cross-country sprint competition relies on maximal effort durations of 3–4 minutes. Significant anaerobic energy contribution is expected. Anaerobic energy contribution has been estimated in different sports to ...
Bayesian seabed classification using angle-dependent backscatter data from multibeam echo sounders
(2014)
Acoustical seabed classification is a technology for mapping seabed sediments. Processed multibeam sonar data yield the variation of the seabed scattering strength with incidence angle, and this paper examines the effect ...
OmpU as a biomarker for rapid discrimination between toxigenic and epidemic Vibrio cholerae O1/O139 and non-epidemic Vibrio cholerae in a modified MALDI-TOF MS assay
(2014)
Background
Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae. Outbreaks are caused by a genetically homogenous group of strains from serogroup O1 or O139 that are able to produce the cholera toxin. Rapid ...
