Riding the yellow wave: the online populist communication of Rassemblement National (RN) leaders in response to the Gilets Jaunes protests and the 2019 European elections
(2024-07-02)Radical-right populist parties will often try to exploit and ride a wave of popular discontent for their own electoral gain. This paper studies the online populist communication of the leaders of the Rassemblement National ... -
Failures in Ukrainian Arms Procurement 2014-2023 The Negative Effects of Limited Access Orders (LAOs) on National Security
(2024-07-15)This article discusses critical failures in Ukrainian defense production and procurement in the period 2014 to 2023. The main puzzle is why Ukraine did so little to satisfy the needs of the country’s armed forces in essential ... -
Glyceraldehyde metabolism in mouse brain and the entry of blood-borne glyceraldehyde into the brain
(2024-06-22)D-Glyceraldehyde, a reactive aldehyde metabolite of fructose and glucose, is neurotoxic in vitro by forming advanced glycation end products (AGEs) with neuronal proteins. In Alzheimer's disease brains, glyceraldehyde-containing ... -
Generalizing the Black and Scholes Equation Assuming Differentiable Noise
(2024-10-09)This article develops probability equations for an asset value through time, assuming continuous correlated differentiable Gaussian distributed noise. Ito’s (1944) stochastic integral and a generalized Novikov’s (1919) ... -
Model selection techniques for seafloor scattering statistics in synthetic aperture sonar images of complex seafloors
(2024-06-30)In quantitative analysis of seafloor scattering measurements, it is common to model the single-point probability density function of the scattered intensity or amplitude. For more complex seafloors, the pixel amplitude ... -
Electric field gradients at the nuclei from all-electron four-component relativistic density functional theory using Gaussian-type orbitals
(2024-07-23)We present an all-electron, four-component relativistic implementation of electric field gradients (EFGs) at the nuclei using Gaussian-type orbitals and periodic boundary conditions. This allows us to include relativistic ... -
Continuous sound from a marine vibrator causes behavioural responses of free-ranging, spawning Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(2024-01-09)Marine vibrators are a new technology being developed for seismic surveys. These devices can transmit continuous instead of impulsive sound and operate over a narrower frequency band and at lower peak pressure than airguns, ... -
Variability in modelled sonar and target depth distributions
(2024-06-26)When attempting to detect a reflecting target using active sonar, the relationship between the sensor and target depths is of key importance. This is due to the non-uniform vertical sound speed profile in the water column, ... -
Social Movement Communication as Democratic Innovation: The Alta Conflict 1970–1982
(2024-02-06)How can lobbying and influence be useful not only for those who already are powerful, but also for the empowerment of the disempowered? Thus, how may we democratise control over the means of rhetorical power? An answer may ... -
Dynamic Spectrum Management and Routing Solutions for Multi-Radio Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2023-11-28)The electromagnetic spectrum’s scarcity, the tactical edge’s dynamic nature, and the variety of tactical operations impose challenges to military cognitive radio networks. Multi-radio dynamic spectrum management (DSM) and ... -
Kinetics of pair-induced quenching in holmium-doped optical fibers
(2024-03-25)We present a study of the dynamics of the rapid energy transfer upconversion that occurs within pairs or clusters of holmium ions, commonly referred to as pair-induced quenching. The lifetime of excited holmium ion pairs ... -
Sampling efficiency and nucleic acid stability during long-term sampling with different bioaerosol samplers
(2024-05-25)Aerosol microbiome studies have received increased attention as technological advancements have made it possible to dive deeper into the microbial diversity. To enhance biomass collection for metagenomic sequencing, long-term ... -
The underwater soundscape of the North Sea
(2024-01)As awareness on the impact of anthropogenic underwater noise on marine life grows, underwater noise measurement programs are needed to determine the current status of marine areas and monitor long-term trends. The Joint ... -
Multifaceted Conscription: A Comparative Study of Six European Countries
(2024-03-05)Although the last few decades have witnessed a shift from conscription to allvolunteer forces in many European countries, recent changes in the European security environment have raised new concerns and prompted several ... -
Accumulation of copper and lead in ruminants grazing on a contaminated shooting range in Nordland County, Norway
(2024)Shooting ranges contain copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) contamination, which can be a risk for grazing ruminants. This study examines the accumulation of lead and copper in blood of lambs and calves, as well as in the liver of ... -
The characteristics of successful military IT projects: a cross-country empirical study
(2023)In the armed forces, successful digitalizationis crucial to ensure effective operations. Much of the existing literature on project factors during the planning and execution phases of public IT projects do not focus ... -
