Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The challenge for any security screening system is to identify potentially harmful objects such as weapons and explosives concealed under clothing. Classical border and security checkpoints are no longer capable of fulfilling the demands of today’ s ever growing security requirements, especially with respect to the high throughput generally required which entails a high detection rate of threat material and a low false alarm rate. TeraSCREEN proposes to develop an innovative concept of multi-frequency multi-mode Terahertz and millimeter-wave detection with new automatic detection and classification functionalities. The system developed will demonstrate, at a live control point, the safe automatic detection and classification of objects concealed under clothing, whilst respecting privacy and increasing current throughput rates. This innovative screening system will combine multi-frequency, multi-mode images taken by passive and active subsystems which will scan the subjects and obtain complementary spatial and spectral information, thus allowing for automatic threat recognition. The TeraSCREEN project, which will run from 2013 to 2016, has received funding from the European Union’ s Seventh Framework Programme under the Security Call. This paper will describe the project objectives and approach.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- A highly integrated platform for micro- and mmwave frequency applications is introduced. The platform utilizes heterogeneous process modules with integrated passive and tunable devices together with silicon and GaAs MMIC technology to achieve outstanding flexibility. The different process modules are accounted for and their feasibility is proven through a number of application demonstrators from 23GHz telecom backhauling and 77GHz automotive radar indicating excellent performance. © 2010 IEEE.

Palaeopascichnus from the Ediacaran of the Digermulen Peninsula, Arctic Norway and the age of the Varanger Ice Age
- 2018

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Palaeopascichnids are possibly the longest-ranging macroscopic Ediacaran fossils (ca. 565-542 Ma).They are bedding plane-parallel modular fossils composed of series of closely spaced millimeter sizedcircular, sausage- or kidney- shaped units. Earlier regarded as trace fossils, they are now seen as bodyfossils: possible xenophyophoran protists or protists of uncertain affinities. The Cryogenian to lower Cambrian succession (Vestertana group) exposed on the Digermulen Peninsula starts with the glacial Smalfjorden, interglacial Nyborg and glacial Mortensnes fms, collectively known as the Varanger Ice Age.Together with the succeeding Stáhpogieddi Fm. they reflect changes from global icehouse to greenhouse conditions. The Stáhpogieddi Fm. starts with the Lillevannet Mbr. followed by the Indreelva Mbr., yielding Ediacara-type fossils. The highest member in the Stáhpogieddi Fm, the Manndrapselva Mbr, contains the Ediacaran- Cambrian boundary. Palaeopascichnus is found at three horizons within the Stáhpogieddi Fm. The youngest, within the Manndrapselva Mbr., is latest Ediacaran, based on associated trace fossils, as well as occurring below trace fossils from the Treptichnus pedum ichnozone. Palaeopascichnus is also present near the base of the Manndrapselva Mbr. The oldest occurrence is from a horizon transitional between the Lillevannet and Indreelva Mbrs. Age constraints on the Varangerian glacial deposits are poor and their relationship to Neoproterozoic glacial events is equivocal. Studies over the last several decades have placed the Smalfjorden Fm. within the globally developed Marinoan glaciation (ca. 645–635 Ma) based on the presence of cap dolostones. The Mortensnes Fm. has been aligned within the Ediacaran Gaskiers glaciation(ca. 580 Ma) on the basis of carbon isotope stratigraphy. However, alternative interpretations exist,including that of a Marinoan affinity for all of the Varanger ice age. Palaeopascichnus at the Lillevannet Mbr. to Indreelva Mbr. transition indicates that this part of the succession is younger than 565 Ma. Because the transition between the Mortensnes Fm. and the succeeding Stáhpogieddi Fm. is seemingly without major breaks in sedimentation, this is consistent with a Gaskiers, or younger age for the Mortensnes Fm. An older age (Marinoan) requires the discovery of major breaks in the sedimentary record.
