On the use of the HUGIN 1000 HUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicle for high resolution zooplankton measurements
(2010)
This paper evaluates and tests the HUGIN 1000 HUS AUV as a carrier platform for the Laser Optical Plankton Counter (LOPC). The LOPC was mounted outside on top of the carrier platform, and the tests confirm that this concept ...
ELEMENTAL ABUNDANCES IN THE FAST SOLAR WIND EMANATING FROM CHROMOSPHERIC FUNNELS
(2010)
We carry out a model study to determine whether a funnel-type flow geometry in the solar wind source region leads to sufficiently fast hydrogen flow to offset heavy element gravitational settling and can thus explain why ...
The Rise of Muslim Foreign Fighters Islam and the Globalization of Jihad
(2010)
Why has transnational war volunteering increased so dramatically in the Muslim world since 1980? Standard explanations, which emphasize U.S.-Saudi support for the 1980s Afghan mujahideen, the growth of Islamism, or the ...
Minimum Variance Signal Selection for Aorta Radius Estimation Using Radar
(2010)
This paper studies the optimum signal choice for the estimation of the aortic blood pressure via aorta radius, using a monostatic radar configuration. The method involves developing the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for a ...
Range and Doppler walk in DVB-T based Passive Bistatic Radar
(2010)
This paper analyzes the effects of range
and Doppler walk for a Digital Video Broadcast -
Terrestrial based Passive Bistatic Radar of both simulated
and experimental data. Range and Doppler walk
cause energy dispersal ...
Consequence assessment of indoor dispersion of sarin-A hypothetical scenario
(2010)
The objective of this study is to provide a hypothetical scenario of indoor dispersion of the highly toxic nerve agent sarin in a large building, which can be used as a starting point for discussion, planning, training and ...
Optical parametric oscillators with high pulse energy and beam quality
(2010)
A new method for obtaining high beam quality from high pulse energy optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) is demonstrated. By using different nonlinear crystals that have walk-off in orthogonal directions but are type 2 ...
Robust Web Services in Heterogeneous Military Networks
(2010)
NATO Network Enabled Capability is firstand foremost about achieving better interactionbetween the different actors involved in militaryoperations. This implies more efficient exchangeof information. Consequently, the NATO ...
Introducing Randomness into First-Order and Second-Order Deterministic Differential Equations
(2010)
We incorporate randomness into deterministic theories and compare analytically and numerically some well-known stochastic theories: the Liouville process, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, and a process that is Gaussian and ...
Calprotectin (S100A8/S100A9) and myeloperoxidase: Co-regulators of formation of reactive oxygen species
(2010)
Inflammatory mediators trigger polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS: O2-, H2O2, ∙OH). Mediated by myeloperoxidase in PMN, HOCl is formed, detectable in a chemiluminescence (CL) assay. ...
