Measurements of high-frequency acoustic scattering from glacially eroded rock outcrops
(2016)
Measurements of acoustic backscattering from glacially eroded rock outcrops were made off the coast of Sandefjord, Norway using a high-frequency synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) system. A method by which scattering strength ...
A Study of the Detonation Properties, Propellant Impulses, Impact Sensitivities and Synthesis of Nitrated ANTA and NTO Derivatives
(2016)
Nitrated derivatives of 5-amino-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole (ANTA)
and 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) were theoretically characterized with respect to their performance as high explosives and rocket propellants. The detonation ...
Increased CSF levels of aromatic amino acids in hip fracture patients with delirium suggests higher monoaminergic activity
(2016)
Background
To examine whether delirium in hip fracture patients was associated with changes in the levels of amino acids and/or monoamine metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum.
Methods
In this ...
Classification of Ships Using Real and Simulated Data in a Convolutional Neural Network
(2016)
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently been applied successfully in large scale image classification competitions for photographs found on the Internet. As our brains are able to recognize objects in the images, ...
The Influence of Predeployment Training on Coordination in Multinational Headquarters:The Moderating Role of Organizational Obstacles to Information Sharing.
(2016)
Coordination is critical to the success of multinational military operations and may be fostered by predeployment training. We argue that whether such training is related to a high degree of perceived coordination at the ...
Low-Complexity Adaptive Sonar Imaging
(2016)
We have studied the low-complexity adaptive (LCA) beamformer in active sonar imaging. LCA can be viewed as either a simplification of the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer, or as an adaptive extension ...
Signal environment mapping of the Automatic Identification System frequencies from space
(2016)
This paper presents received signal strength data recorded by the NORAIS Receiver on the four VHF channels allocated to the use of the Automatic Identification System (AIS). The NORAIS Receiver operated on-board the Columbus ...
Oscillatory regimes of the thermomagnetic instability in superconducting films
(2016)
The stability of superconducting films with respect to oscillatory precursor modes for thermomagnetic avalanches is investigated theoretically. The results for the onset threshold show that previous treatments of nonoscillatory ...
Investment cost escalation – an overview of the literature and revised estimates
(2016)
This article presents an overview of literature and previous estimates of defence specific investment cost escalation (ICE). ICE, the cost increase between two generations of a weapon system, can place a heavy strain on ...
Plasma Cytokine Profiles in Long-Term Strenuous Exercise
(2016)
The open window theory indicates altered immunity 3 to 72 hours after exercise. The J-curve describes the risk of illness in response to exercise. The aim of this study was to examine the secretion of proinflammatory and ...
