The threat of war and domestic restraints to defence reform- how fear of major military conflict changed and did not change the Ukrainian military 2014-2019
(2019-12-19)
The annexation of Crimea and the Russia enabled rebellion in Donbas created a need for radical improvements of Ukrainian military capability. This study discusses how different, mostly domestic, reform drivers and reform ...
Comparison of synthetic aperture sonar images and optical images of UXOs from the Skagerrak chemical munitions dumpsite
(2019-11-28)
After World War II chemical munitions were loaded onto large ships and sunk
in the Skagerrak Strait in the Norwegian trench, in deep waters between Norway and Denmark. In collaboration with the Norwegian Coastal Administration, ...
SMART II: Android apps, cloud computing and mobile device management as enablers for efficient operations
(2019-11-25)
"SMART" { pervasive situational awareness at the individual soldier level { was a Concept Development and
Experimentation (CD&E) project carried out in Norway during 2016. The concept being tested was the use
of smart ...
Exploring the overlapping binding sites of ifenprodil and EVT‐101 in GluN2B‐containing NMDA receptors using novel chicken embryo forebrain cultures and molecular modeling
(2019-05-30)
N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate receptors (NMDAR) are widely expressed in the brain. GluN2B subunit‐containing NMDARs has recently attracted significant attention as potential pharmacological targets, with emphasis on the functional ...
The stabilising effect by a novel cable cerclage configuration in long cephalomedullary nailing of subtrochanteric fractures with a posteromedial wedge
(2019-05-16)
Background
Clinical studies suggest that an adjunctive cerclage in intramedullary nailing of subtrochanteric fractures improves the outcome. Despite this, to what extent various cerclage configurations influences the ...
Wargaming Evolved: Methodology and Best Practices for Simulation-Supported Wargaming
(2019-12-12)
When developing and assessing future force structures, wargaming is a key activity for better understanding the
strengths and weaknesses of the force structures. Today simulation systems let us create synthetic environments ...
A decomposition solution approach to the troops-to-tasks assignment in military peacekeeping operations
(2019-09-20)
This paper considers the Peacekeeping Troops-to-Tasks Problem (PTTP). The PTTP deals with assigning battlegroup resources to a set of tasks associated with a given peacekeeping mission. The tasks may be spread across several ...
Explosion characteristics for Li-ion battery electrolytes at elevated temperatures
(2019-01-28)
Li-ion batteries are used in electronic devices and electric cars, yet they create safety concerns due to the possibility of the release of combustible materials. The electrolyte, one of the main components in a Li-ion ...
Comparing RLS and LMS adaptive equalizers for large hydrophone arrays in underwater acoustic communication channels
(2019-10-14)
There is an expected growth in underwater acoustic data traffic. To meet the demand of high data throughput, a migration towards the very high frequency band (>100 kHz) will be necessary. The increment in frequency comes ...
Evaluation of safety distances for storage of explosive materials using a combination of thermochemical computations and CFD
(2019-01-14)
A novel approach to calculating TNT equivalencies and safety distances for explosives, using a combination of thermochemical computations and computational fluid dynamics, is presented. This enables the estimation of safety ...
