Islamic State Nasheeds As Messaging Tools
(2016)
Although jihadi nasheeds play an important role in the Islamic State's propaganda, there is scant literature on the topic. This article is an exploratory study on seventeen Islamic State nasheeds released between December ...
A new method for underwater archaeological surveying using sensors and unmanned platforms
(2016)
As most of the world’s oceans are inaccessible to diving archaeologists, we must rely on advanced underwater technology and marine robotics to explore, map and investigate ship wrecks in these areas. New sensors and unmanned ...
A Compressed Sensing Based Design for Formation of Range-Doppler Maps
(2016)
Compressed sensing (CS) based reconstruction methods have been in much focus over the last years as they provide a mean to work with limited amount of data. In this article we present an application of CS and sparse ...
Terahertz imaging of composite materials in reflection and transmission mode with a time-domain spectroscopy system
(2016)
A fiber-coupled Terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) system based on photoconductive antennas, pumped by a 100-fs fiber laser, has been used to characterize materials in transmission and reflection mode. THz images ...
Quantifying the tracking capability of space-based AIS systems
(2016)
The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) has operated three Automatic Identification System (AIS) receivers in space. Two are on dedicated nano-satellites, AISSat-1 and AISSat-2. The third, the NORAIS Receiver, ...
Right-Wing Terrorism and Violence in Western Europe: Introducing the RTV Datase
(2016)
What is the record of right-wing terrorism and violence (RTV) in Western Europe post-1990? To date, RTV
incident data suitable for temporal and cross-national comparisons have been lacking. Consequently, few
comparative ...
On the study of ricochet and penetration in sand, water and gelatin by spheres, 7.62 mm APM2, and 25?mm projectiles
(2016)
We examine the ricochet and penetration behavior in sand, water and gelatin by steel spheres, 7.62 mm APM2 and 25 mm projectiles. A threshold impact angle (critical angle) exists beyond which ricochet cannot occur. The ...
Naval sonar disrupts foraging in humpback whales
(2016)
Modern long-range naval sonars are a potential disturbance for marine mammals and can cause disruption of feeding in cetaceans. We examined the lunge-feeding behaviour of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae before, ...
Jihadistenes program i Europa
(2016)
Trusselen fra jihadisme i Europa har aldri vært høyere enn den er nå. I følge en ny studie fra Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt (FFI) har det i 2015 og 2016 vært en betydelig økning i planlagte og utførte terrorangrep med ...
Autophagic activity in BC3H1 cells exposed to yessotoxin
(2016)
The marine toxin yessotoxin (YTX) can induce programmed cell death through both caspase-dependent and -independent pathways in various cellular systems. It appears to stimulate different forms of cellular stress causing ...
