Botulism outbreaks in natural environments - an update
(2014)Clostridium botulinum comprises a diverse group of botulinum toxin-producing anaerobic rod-shaped spore-forming bacteria that are ubiquitously distributed in soils and aquatic sediments. Decomposition of plants, algae, and ... -
Systemic Chemical Desensitization of Peptidergic Sensory Neurons with Resiniferatoxin Inhibits Experimental Periodontitis
(2011)Background and objective: The immune system is an important player in the pathophysiology of periodontitis. The brain controls immune responses via neural and hormonal pathways, and brain-neuro-endocrine dysregulation ... -
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 ... -
Cascade dynamics of thermomagnetic avalanches in superconducting films with holes
(2015)The submicrosecond dynamics of thermomagnetic avalanches in superconducting films with nonconducting holes (antidots) is considered. When such an avalanche reaches a hole, it is quickly filled with magnetic flux, and often ... -
A novel headspace sampler for field detection of chemical warfare agents and simulants connected to a commercial ion mobility detector
(2016)A rapid and simple sampling technique for use in conjunction with commercial ion mobility spectrometric detectors is described. The technique may be used for the detection of chemical warfare agents in the field. A plastic ... -
Resilient internetwork routing over heterogeneous mobile military networks
(2015)Mobile networks in the military tactical domain, include a range of radio networks with very diverse characteristics and which may be employed differently from operation to operation. When interconnecting networks with ... -
Disruptive camouflage tricks the human eye - a study of detection times of two near-similar targets in natural backgrounds
(2015)Our understanding of camouflage, in military as well as in evolutionary perspectives, has been developing over the last 100 years. In that period of time several underlying principles have emerged. It has turned out in the ... -
Discriminating between camouflaged targets by their time of detection by ahuman based observer assessment method
(2015)Detection of a camouflaged object in natural sceneries requires the target to be distinguishable from its local background. The development of any new camouflage pattern therefore has to rely on a well-founded test methodology ... -
Uniform semiglobal exponential stability of integral line-of-sight guidance laws
(2015)This paper proves that an integral line-of-sight guidance law for path following control of underactuated marine vessels provides uniform semiglobal exponential stability. The stability result is stronger than what has ... -
A hybrid recorded-synthetic sonar data set for validation of ASW classification algorithms
(2015)Modern anti-submarine warfare sonars are often designed with narrow beamwidths and wide frequency bandwidths in order to maximize spatial resolution and sonar performance. A known issue for high-resolution sonars in littoral ... -
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 ... -
Autophagic activity in BC3H1 cells exposed to yessotoxin
(2016)The marine toxin yessotoxin (YTX) can induce programmed cell death through both caspase-dependent and -independent pathways in various cellular systems. It appears to stimulate different forms of cellular stress causing ... -
A concept approach to input/output logic
(2015)This paper provides a semantics for input/input output logic based on formal concept analysis. The central result shows that an input/output logic axiomatised by a relation R is the same as the logic induced by deriving ... -
A Radon-Transform-Based Image Noise Filter - With Applications to Multibeam Bathymetry
(2015)This paper describes a linear-image-transform-based algorithm for reducing stripe noise, track line artifacts, and motion-induced errors in remote sensing data. Developed for multibeam bathymetry (MB), the method has also ... -
Bayesian seabed classification using angle-dependent backscatter data from multibeam echo sounders
(2014)Acoustical seabed classification is a technology for mapping seabed sediments. Processed multibeam sonar data yield the variation of the seabed scattering strength with incidence angle, and this paper examines the effect ... -
Modeling of a back-illuminated HgCdTe MWIR avalanche photodiode with alloy gradients
(2015)We present results from 2D Monte Carlo simulations of a mid-wave infrared (MWIR) back-illuminated planar n-on-p HgCdTe electron-initiated avalanche photodiode (e- APD). The main objective of this work has been to study the ... -
Investigation of Theoretical Models for the Elastic Stiffness of Nanoparticle-Modified Polymer Composites
(2015)Mathematical models are investigated and suggested for the calculation of the elastic stiffness of polymer nanocomposites. Particular emphasis is placed on the effect on the elastic stiffness from agglomerates and the ... -
Bispyridinium compounds inhibit both muscle and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in human cell lines
(2015)Standard treatment of poisoning by organophosphorus anticholinesterases uses atropine to reduce the muscarinic effects of acetylcholine accumulation and oximes to reactivate acetylcholinesterase (the effectiveness of which ... -
Assessing Islamic State’s Commitment to Attacking the West
(2015)How much of a terrorist threat does the Islamic State (IS) pose to Western countries? This article looks at what IS has said and done with regard to attacks in the West. We examine IS statements and take stock of IS-related ... -
Underwater Acoustic Network Simulation With Lookup Tables From Physical-Layer Replay
(2015)An underwater acoustic network simulation methodology is presented that is based on lookup tables (LUTs) with physical-layer error ratios. These LUTs are prepared with a validated replay channel simulator, which is here ...
