A model, BrandFeldt-model, is developed to decide if a component's damage criterion will be met as a consequence of fire. The component is placed in an adjoining room to the fire room, the only opening between the two rooms is a door (opened or closed).
This report describes the methodology for performing a quantitative risk analysis for a unidirectional road tunnel. By using representative accident scenarios, a basic queue model and performing an evacuation analysis the amount of casualties for each scenario can be estimated. By using the described methodology it gives the decision-makers a good idea of the risk level in the tunnel. The results
This master thesis shows how microbial concentrations in raw water can be assessed by scenario modelling of microbial releases from known microbial sources. In this thesis an inventory of potential microbial sources in eastern Mälaren has been performed and 7 major sources of microbial pollution have been identified. The distribution modelling program SeaTrack Östra Mälaren has been used to model
This master thesis aims to examine the need for hospital evacuation planning. The thesis is based on results from a literature study in which events that have affected hospitals, have been studied. It is also based on a case study performed at Lidköping hospital. The case study is a risk and vulnerability analysis and seeks to identify risks that can initialize a large evacuation. Hospitals are a
Business Continuity Management (BCM) is in many respects a technically oriented field. The technical aspects of BCM are of great importance, however they become meaningless if not used and managed properly. Without adequate human and organizational conditions, there is a risk that BCM does not take the decisive step from solely comprising well-documented business continuity plans, to also generati
Copyright has traditionally been considered as a right that has a social function. Thus, among the various justifications for its existence, it is the utilitarian or instrumentalist justification that has often been hoisted in order to assess how well it serves the needs of society. From its inception as a concept, copyright has been justified as a necessary evil that, to quote Macaulay, “ought no
A reliable electricity sector is imperative for the development and competitiveness of Costa Rica. During the last decade, electricity demand has been growing faster than the expansion of the power network, and the demand side efforts have been almost inexistent. Therefore, since 2007 the electricity sector of Costa Rica is in a vulnerable position. In fact, for 2014 energy shortages have been ant
Denna uppsats syftar till att bidra till en sammankoppling utav de vetenskapliga fälten Place branding och sociala medier, eftersom vi inte har funnit någon litteratur som tillgodoser denna länk. Detta leder oss in på frågan: Varför är detta område viktigt att studera? Fler och fler företag väljer idag att marknadsföra sig via sociala medier på grund av dess enkelhet, snabbhet och kostnadseffektiv
When diagnosing acute coronary syndrome, time is of the essence and electrocardiography the most effective method to obtain data about the patients condition. Artificial neural networks can here be used to assist medical doctors. In this text the wavelet transform is introduced as a signal processing method for piping ECG-curves to ANN’s. The performance of this setup (ANN performance is measured b
