The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety of Gevahuset. The report is based on a number of representative fire scenarios and computer simulations of evacuation and fire development. Suggestions on improvement of the safety lever are presented. The programs used, as tools in the evaluation process, are FDS, SIMULEX, Detact T2 and FAST. The program FDS has generated output concerning

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Infra Business Center, Upplands Väsby, Sweden. To collect data and to get a better understanding of the project we visited Infra Business Center in the beginning of our work. The report is based on fire scenarios and computer simulations of evacuation, fire development, and smoke filling. Egress time was simulated with SIMULEX and time to critical conditi

This report contains a fire safety evaluation of Borgsmoskolan in Norrköping, Sweden. It is a school for 13 to 15 years old children. There are totally 430 people in the school. The purpose is to look at individual safety. Computer simulations with Simulex has been used to see how long time evacuation takes in some different scenarios, and fire modelling has been made with CFAST to see how long it

The report contains an evaluation of the fire safety at Linden shopping centre in Norrköping, Sweden. The evaluation concerns evacuation times, fire development, smoke filling and smoke layer temperatures. The modelling has been executed with the computer models FDS, ARGOS, AST/CFAST and SIMULEX which were validated with hand calculations. The report includes suggestions for improvement of the bui

Starch has undisputable importance in foods both from the nutritional—mainly energy—related‐and technological viewpoints. Different types of starch derivatives, including a number of hydrolysis products, are frequently used as food ingredients, especially because of the particular physicochemical properties they may confer. In recent years, certain hydrolytic derivatives of starch, such as maltode

The coexistence of ecologically similar species might be counteracted by ecological drift and demographic stochasticity, both of which erode local diversity. With niche differentiation, species can be maintained through performance trade-offs between environments, but trade-offs are difficult to invoke for species with similar ecological niches. Such similar species might then go locally extinct d

BACKGROUND: Pulses represent an important source of protein, as well as digestible and indigestible carbohydrates. Little information is available on the indigestible carbohydrates and antioxidant capacity of legume seeds. The cooked seeds of three pulses (black bean, chickpea and lentil) were evaluated for their indigestible fraction (IF), polyphenols content, antioxidant capacity and in vitro fe

Introduction: Glutathione (GSH) pathways play a key role the metabolism and elimination of the neurotoxicant methylmercury (MeHg). We hypothesized that maternal genetic variation linked to GSH pathways could influence MeHg concentrations in pregnant mothers and children and thereby also affect early life development. Methods: The GCLM (rs41303970, C/T), GCLC (rs761142, T/G) and GSTP1 (rs1695, A/G)

Banana, maize, potato and sagu starches were boiled in the presence or absence of plasticizer (glycerol), producing edible films. In vitro digestibility features, amylose content and amylopectin gel filtration behavior of films and parent starches were evaluated. Available starch contents were lower in glycerol-containing films, due to dilution by the plasticizer. Total resistant starch increased

The production of Z0 bosons at large rapidities in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02TeV is reported. Z0 candidates are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel (Z0→μ+μ−), based on muons selected with pseudo-rapidity −4.0

Flaxseed has recently gained attention as a functional food, and the effect of adding flaxseed (10%, 15%, and 20%) to tortillas was evaluated. The physicochemical characteristics and the free fatty-acid (FFA) content of the oil extracted from flaxseed-added corn tortilla were determined. The results showed that the lipid (4.27%) and protein content (9.10%) of the control sample was statistically l

Induction hardening is a useful method for improving resistance to surface indentation, fatigue and wear that is favoured in comparison with through hardening, which may lack necessary toughness. The process itself involves fast heating by induction with subsequent quenching, creating a martensitic layer at the surface of the workpiece. In the present work, we demonstrate how to simulate the proce

How malleable are people's fairness ideals? Although fairness is an oft-invoked concept in allocation situations, it is still unclear whether and to what extent people's allocations reflect their fairness ideals. We investigate in a laboratory experiment whether people's fairness ideals are sensitive to spillover effects associated with the specific order of allocation tasks. Participants first ge

Three experiments on professional recruiters explored how applicants' ethnicity affects questions prepared for a job interview and the implications of this. Study 1 revealed that outgroup applicants prompt recruiters to focus more on whether applicants have integrated cultural norms and values fitting the ingroup norms (person-culture fit), as well as the match between the applicants and their wou

Accommodation businesses are increasingly dependent on a limited number of reservation platforms. A significant feature of these platforms is guest evaluations, which are transformed into ratings and rankings. As the positioning of the business in comparison to competitors determines customer demand, accommodation managers have considerable interest in maintaining or improving their online reputat
