From F-16 to F-35 - Optimizing the Training of Pilots in the Royal Norwegian Air Force
(2016)The Norwegian Armed Forces will soon make the largest investment in its history. It plans to spend $8 billion to replace the Royal Norwegian Air Force’s existing fleet of F-16 aircraft with 52 new F-35 aircraft. The Norwegian ... -
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 ... -
Effects of Supplemental Energy on Protein Balance during 4-d Arctic Military Training
(2016)Soldiers often experience negative energy balance during military operations that diminish whole-body protein retention, even when dietary protein is consumed within recommended levels (1.5-2.0 g[middle dot]kg-1[middle ... -
Classification of birds and UAVs based on radar polarimetry
(2016)This letter aims to show the potential of using polarimetric parameters to distinguish between large birds and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of comparable size in the context of a modern long-range air defense radar. ... -
Near-PHz-bandwidth, phase-stable continua generated from a Yb:YAG thin-disk amplifier
(2016)We report on the generation of a multi-octave, phase-stable continuum from the output of a Yb:YAG regenerative amplifier delivering 1-ps pulses with randomly varying carrier-envelope phase (CEP). The intrinsically CEP-stable ... -
A Critical Investigation of Proposed Electrostatic Corrections to Quantum Mechanical Volumes: The Importance of Variation and the Irrelevance of Imbalance
(2016)The crystal density of neutral and ionic molecular crystals is remarkably well approximated by the enclosed volume of molecular surfaces, where these surfaces are defined as regions of constant and small electron density. ... -
Pretreatment and prophylaxis against nerve agent poisoning: are undesirable behavioral side effects unavoidable?
(2016)The threat of chemical warfare agents like nerve agents requires life saving measures of medical pretreatment combined with treatment after exposure. Pretreatment (pyridostigmine) may cause some side effects in a small ... -
The Influence of Predeployment Training on Coordination in Multinational Headquarters:The Moderating Role of Organizational Obstacles to Information Sharing.
(2016)Coordination is critical to the success of multinational military operations and may be fostered by predeployment training. We argue that whether such training is related to a high degree of perceived coordination at the ... -
Efficiency and productivity in the operational units of the armed forces: A Norwegian example
(2016)Most nations spend a considerable part of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. However, no previous study has addressed productivity and efficiency in the core area of the armed forces, operational units, using ... -
Microbial community structure in a full-scale anaerobic treatment plant during start-up and first year of operation revealed by high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing
(2016)High-throughput amplicon sequencing of six biomass samples from a full-scale anaerobic reactor at a Norwegian wood and pulp factory using Biothane Biobed Expanded Granular Sludge Bed (EGSB) technology during start-up and ... -
Comparative visualization of multiple time surfaces by planar surface reformation
(2016)Comparing time surfaces at different integration time points, or from different seeding areas, can provide valuable insight into transport phenomena of fluid flows. Such a comparative study is challenging due to the often ... -
Architectural work for modeling and simulation combining the NATO Architecture Framework and C3 Taxonomy
(2016)To provide modeling and simulation functionality as services is strategically leveraged in the defense domain and elsewhere. To describe and understand the context, the ecosystem, wherein such services are used and ... -
Automatic detection of marine gas seeps using an interferometric sidescan sonar
(2016)There is a significant need for reliable, cost-effective, and preferably automatic methods for detecting and monitoring marine gas seeps. Seeps at the seafloor may originate from natural sources including sediments releasing ... -
In operando neutron diffraction study of a commercial graphite/(Ni, Mn, Co) oxide-based multi-component lithium ion battery
(2016)In situ neutron diffraction was employed to investigate the structural evolution of the electrode materials in an ICR 10440 commercial cylindrical lithium-ion battery, which has a discharge capacity of 360 mAh and a nominal ... -
Russian Rearmament: An Assessment of Defense-Industrial Performance
(2016)This article addresses two related questions associated with Russia’s rearmament program (GPV- 2020). First, it examines how the Russian defense industry has performed in the first five years of the rearmament program, ... -
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 ... -
A computational study of density of some high energy molecules
(2016)The detonation pressure depends quadratically on the loading density of the explosives. A precise estimate of the density is thus crucial to decide if a novel energetic material is worth pursuing. In this work we investigate ... -
Headspace-trap gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for determination of sulphur mustard and related compounds in soil
(2010)Methods for trace determination of sulphur mustard (HD) and some related cyclic sulphur compounds in soil samples have been developed using headspace-trap in combination with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). ... -
Trace determination of sulphur mustard and related compounds in water by headspace-trap gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
