Fracture networks in sea ice
(2014)
Fracturing and refreezing of sea ice in the Kara sea are investigated using complex network analysis. By going to the dual network, where the fractures are nodes and their intersections links, we gain access to topological ...
Using the Power Balance Model to Simulate Cross-Country Skiing on Varying Terrain
(2014)
The current study adapts the power balance model to simulate cross-country skiing on varying terrain. We assumed that the skier’s locomotive power at a self-chosen pace is a function of speed, which is impacted by friction, ...
Obtaining spectral information from infrared scenarios using hyper-spectral cameras and cameras with spinning filter wheel
(2014)
In the past decades the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) has recorded and characterized infrared scenarios for several application purposes, such as infrared target and background modeling and simulation, ...
Experimental and numerical study of the fragmentation of expanding warhead casings by using different numerical codes and solution techniques
(2014)
There has been increasing interest in numerical simulations of fragmentation of expanding warheads in 3D. Accordingly there is a pressure on developers of leading commercial codes, such as LS-DYNA, AUTODYN and IMPETUS Afea, ...
The modus operandi of jihadi terrorists in Europe
(2014)
This article provides the most thorough overview yet of how jihadis have plotted terrorist attacks in Europe. Drawing on a database of 122 incidents, we review trends in weapon types, attack types and target types in the ...
Behavioral changes following PCB 153 exposure in the Spontaneously Hypertensive rat - an animal model of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity disorder
(2014)
Background
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral disorder affecting 3-5% of children. Although ADHD is highly heritable, environmental factors like exposure during early development to various ...
Behavioral side effects of prophylactic therapies against soman-induced seizures and lethality in rats
(2014)
Four medical therapies previously shown to exert varying degrees of protection against a convulsant dose of soman were assessed for potential behavioral side effects in a novelty test. In Experiment 1, HI-6 (1-[([4-(amin ...
Spin scan tomographic array-based imager
(2014)
This work presents a novel imaging device based on tomographic reconstruction. Similar in certain aspects to the earlier presented tomographic scanning (TOSCA) principle, it provides several important enhancements. The ...
Dose-response relationships for the onset of avoidance of sonar by free-ranging killer whales
(2014)
Eight experimentally controlled exposures to 1−2 kHz or 6−7 kHz sonar signals were conducted with four killer whale groups. The source level and proximity of the source were increased during each exposure in order to reveal ...
