Measured and modeled spatial rain rate correlation to improve the prediction method for satellite site diversity
(2015)
Rainfall rate varies both temporarily and spatially. Radio systems, where rain attenuation causes outages, may take advantage of this effect to increase the radio link or satellite link availability using diversity techniques. ...
Thugs or Terrorists? A Typology of Right-Wing Terrorism in Western Europe
(2015)
Despite Western Europe’s extensive history of right-wing terrorism, a systematic
categorization of key actors and events is lacking. This article aims to narrow this gap by
proposing the first empirically derived typology ...
Surface treatment of alumina ceramic for improved adhesion to a glass fibre-reinforced polyester composite
(2015)
The adhesion between an alumina ceramic and a glass fibre-reinforced polyester matrix composite has been investigated. The effect of various alumina surface treatments, including degreasing, etching, plasma, grit-blasting ...
Experimental investigation into radar-based central blood pressure estimation
(2015)
To assess whether radar technology can be used for monitoring blood pressure via information from the aorta, two experiments were performed: (i) measurements on a phantom model and (ii) acquisitions on a human subject for ...
Operationalizing Protection of Civilians in NATO Operations
(2015)
Though NATO and other military forces increasingly recognize protection of civilians as a key objective in their operations, implementation remains challenging. To effectively protect, the military force must understand ...
Generation of 1.5-octave intense infrared pulses by nonlinear interactions in DAST crystal
(2015)
Infrared pulses with large spectral width extending from 1.2 to 3.4 μm are generated in the organic crystal DAST (4-N, N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methylstilbazolium tosylate). The input pulse has a central wavelength of 1.5 μm ...
First indications that northern bottlenose whales are sensitive to behavioural disturbance from anthropogenic noise
(2015)
Although northern bottlenose whales were the most heavily hunted beaked whale, we have little information about this species in its remote habitat of the North Atlantic Ocean. Underwater anthropogenic noise and disruption ...
Laser beam propagation through turbulence and adaptive optics for beam delivery improvement
(2015-10-08)
We report results from numerical simulations of laser beam propagation through atmospheric turbulence. In particular, we study the statistical variations of the fractional beam energy hitting inside an optical aperture ...
Optimizing the troops-to-tasks problem in military operations planning
(2015)
In the planning of military operations,
deciding who should do what, where,
and when is crucial for the success of the
operation. This troops-to-tasks analysis is
a project scheduling problem closely related
to the ...
Er Nato en effektiv allianse? Om forholdet mellom kollektivt forsvar og internasjonale operasjoner
(2015)
Hvilke forhold er det som bestemmer Natos effektivitet som allianse, og hvorfor er det slik at Nato av mange anses som best egnet til å være en kollektiv forsvarsallianse? Med et liberalt-institusjonalistisk utgangspunkt ...
