Enhancing far-field thermal emission with thermal extraction
(2013)
The control of thermal radiation is of great current importance for applications such as energy conversions and radiative cooling. Here we show theoretically that the thermal emission of a finite-size blackbody emitter can ...
Formation of a large submarine crack during the final stage of retrogressive mass wasting on the continental slope offshore northern Norway
(2013)
High-resolution swath-bathymetry data integrated with sub-bottom profiles and single-channel seismics reveal an 18 km long, up to 1000 m wide and 10–15 m deep crack located approx. 4 km upslope from a slide scar on the ...
Detection of forest clear-cuts with shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM) and tandem-X InSAR data
(2013)
The aim of this study was to determine whether forest clear-cuts during 2000–2011
could be detected as a decrease in surface height by combining Digital Surface Models
(DSMs) from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission ...
'Abdallah 'Azzam and Palestine
(2013)
ʿAbdallāh ʿAzzām (1941–1989) helped make jihadism more transnational by spearheading the effort to bring Muslim foreign fighters to Afghanistan in the 1980s. But why would a West Bank native devote himself to a war in ...
Simulating CSF flow dynamics in the normal and chiari I subarachnoid space during rest and exertion
(2013)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CSF fluid dynamics in healthy subjects and patients with Chiari I have been characterized during rest with phase-contrast MR imaging and CFD. CSF flow velocities and pressures in the nonresting state ...
'Bomb-making for beginners': Inside an al-Qaida e-learning course
(2013)
This study explores how terrorists utilize the Internet to learn bomb-making skills. Unlike previous studies, it does not focus on assessing the quality of online bomb recipes. Rather, it discusses the efforts being made ...
Extraction and classification of vehicles in LADAR imagery
(2013)
The work presented in this paper is based on a dataset recorded with an airborne sensor. It comprises targets like M-60, M-47, M-113, bridge layers, tank retrievers, and trucks in various types of scenes. The background-object ...
Intracavity trace molecular detection with a broadband mid-IR frequency comb source
(2013)
Ultrasensitive detection of methane, isotopic carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, acetylene, and ethylene is performed in the spectral range 2.5–5 μm using intracavity spectroscopy in broadband optical parametric ...
Genetic characterization of trh positive Vibrio spp. isolated from Norway
(2013)
The thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) and/or TDH-related hemolysin (TRH) genes are carried by most virulent Vibrio parahaemolyticus serovars. In Norway, trh+ V. parahaemolyticus constitute 4.4 and 4.5% of the total number ...
