Multiple episodes of fluid flow in the SW Barents Sea (Loppa High) evidenced by gas flares, pockmarks and gas hydrate accumulation
(2012)
Gas and gas hydrates have gained considerable attention in the last 20 yr due to their possible impact on global climate change from methane escalations. Our study area, the SW Barents Sea, is unique in its evolution due ...
Multi-channel and multi-polarisation ship detection
(2012)
Norway's large ocean areas in the North require efficient methods to detect vessels in the High North. Radar satellites in orbit today offer dual- or quad-polarised data, which ease the task of detecting vessels in a SAR ...
Converting the Iranian heavy water reactor IR-40 to a more proliferation-resistant reactor
(2012)
This article assesses the feasibility and benefits of converting the Iranian heavy water research reactor, IR-40, from using natural uranium to low-enriched uranium fuel. Based on neutronics calculations for a detailed ...
Real-time PCR and NASBA for rapid and sensitive detection of Vibrio cholerae in ballast water
(2012)
Transport of ballast water is one major factor in the transmission of aquatic organisms, including pathogenic bacteria. The IMO-guidelines of the Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and ...
Turbulence characterization and image processing data sets from a NATO RTO SET 165 trial in Dayton, Ohio, USA
(2012)
The performance of optical systems is degraded by atmospheric turbulence. Over propagation distances that exceed several kilometers, it is difficult to evaluate its impact because of terrain variability - a factor that ...
Behavioral Responses of Captive Herring to Sonar Signals (1-1.6 kHz) of a Naval Frigate Throughout a Yearly Cycle
(2012)
Atlantic herring, Clupea harengus, is a hearing specialist, and several studies have demonstrated
strong responses to man-made noise, for example, from an approaching vessel. To avoid negative
impacts from naval sonar ...
Brutal oppmerksomhet: Al-Qaida i Irak på nett
(2012)
Voldelige grupperinger som al-Qaida i Irak benytter seg av internett for å få
internasjonal oppmerksomhet. De er imidlertid fortsatt avhengig av en viss
grad av territoriell kontroll, og det kan oppstå et motsetningsforhold ...
Measurements of IR propagation in the marine boundary layer during the September 2011 SQUIRREL trial
(2012)
A multinational field trial (SQUIRREL) was performed at the Eckernförder Bucht, in the Baltic Sea, during September 2011 to study infrared ship signature and atmospheric propagation effects close to the sea surface in a ...
Characterization of airborne bacteria at an underground subway station
(2012)
The reliable detection of airborne biological threat agents depends on several factors, including the performance criteria of the detector and its operational environment. One step in improving the detector's performance ...
Genotyping of B. licheniformis based on a novel multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) scheme
(2012)
Background
Bacillus licheniformis has for many years been used in the industrial production of enzymes, antibiotics and detergents. However, as a producer of dormant heat-resistant endospores B. licheniformis might ...
