This report aims to present a fire safety evaluation of Ward 043, Children & Youth, at Centralsjukhuset in Kristianstad. Based upon information acquired during a visit to the hospital on February the 8th, 2010, a number of analyses were carried out to assess the current fire safety. Fire- and evacuation simulations, along-side an index-method were the most important tools used in the evaluatio
This report is a fire safety evaluation of Societetshuset on Marstrand. Its purpose is to focus on the human safety and evacuation possibilities. Societetshuset is mainly a restaurant, nightclub and a conference center, some nights there can be as much as 700 guests hosted in the building. Two scenarios have been analyzed through computer modeling and hand calculations, and the results were that t
This report has arisen due to lack of fire protection in the upper secondary school Västerhöjdgymnasiet in Skövde, Sweden. The report analyzes demands on personal safety when evacuating the building based on applicable laws and regulations; no emphasis has been taken regarding economic losses. The goal is to achieve a satisfactory evacuation in case of fire. The chosen acceptance criterion is that
This report evaluates the personal safety issues in the event of fire in the Swedish shopping mall “Galleria Flanaden” in Värnamo. The building and its businesses’ compliance with Swedish fire safety legislation is verified (most importantly BBR 2008 and SFS 2003:778). Weaknesses in personal safety (means of evacuation) in the event of fire are verified through an exhaustive on-site inspection and
The report is a part of the course Fire Safety Evaluation given by the Department of Fire Safety Engineering at Lund Institute of Technology in Sweden. The report is a fire safety evaluation of Veddesta Shopping Center in Järfälla, northeast of Stockholm. It focuses on personal safety and takes no consideration to environmental or economical damages. Four fire scenarios have been chosen and analyz
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the current fire hazard and evacuation safety in one of Staffanstorps elementary schools, Hagalidskolan. The report is written as a part of the educational program in Fire and Safety Engineering at Lund University. Evacuation and human safety is the main focus and therefore damage that affects structural stability and property damage is not evaluated in th
This report is a fire safety evaluation of Folkets Hus in Svedala, Sweden. The human safety is considered sufficient if the time required to complete evacuation is shorter than the time for critical conditions to emerge (available safe egress time). Based on the likelihood of occurrence and potential consequences, two representative fire scenarios were identified to verify if the human fire safety
This report is the final result of a project in the course Brandteknisk riskvärdering VBR054 at Lunds University, Faculty of engineering, spring term of 2010. The aim has been to practise problem solving and to apply knowledge from previous courses with the purpose of evaluating the public safety in case of a fire, on an existing object. The object is a building on an area previously belonging to
This report contains an evaluation of the fire safety regarding evacuation at PUB-huset, Stockholm. PUB-huset is a shopping-mall situated in the heart of the Swedish capital and it is a highly visited building. To evaluate the safety of the building a risk analysis determined the three scenarios with the highest likelihood of occurring and the worst consequence if they occur. The time to critical
The thesis deals with the representation of fantasy in modern film with special regards to parallel-world stories. In order to demarcate parallel worlds from other types of magical worlds in fantasy stories, the thesis contains an extensive chapter of definitions. Starting out with Todorov’s and Jackson’s well-known theories on fantasy / the fantastic, the thesis turns to other approaches allowing
A mechanical failure of a single component is sufficient to cause a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) breakdown. As an unfavorable issue for interfering the stable operation of SOFCs, thermal stress stemming from temperature gradient and mechanical mismatch can result in crack damage. Therefore, it is strongly significant to clarify the relationship of mechanical properties of the cell materials with dA mechanical failure of a single component is sufficient to cause a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) breakdown.

The PEFC has emerged as the most viable fuel cell type for automotive and some portable applications, and also has potential back-up power unit applications due to its low operating temperature, comparative simplicity of construction, high power density, and ease of operation. In spite of tremendous scientific advances, as well as engineering progress over the last few decades, the commercializati

In a spatial simulation we show that formation of a stable, narrow hybrid zone requires no selection, only that individuals can recognize their own population type since this is a prerequisite for assortative mating. The European crow occurs in two species/subspecies that meet in a long hybrid zone, the black carrion crow Corvus corone and the grey and black hooded crow C. cornix. In a previous st
To reduce the congestion due to the future bandwidth- hungry applications in domains such as Health care, Internet of Things (IoT), etc., we study the benefit of introducing additional Data Centers (DCs) closer to the network edge for the optimal application placement. Our study shows that the edge layer DCs in a Mobile Edge Network (MEN) infrastructure is cost beneficial for the bandwidth-hungry
We present a study of the performance degradation of electromagnetic absorbers when applied to doubly curved surfaces. The scattering from a perfectly conducting sphere coated with different types of single- and multilayer absorbers has been evaluated using analytic recursion expressions. A comparison of the effect of curvature on the absorber performance is presented for structures based on homog
