This contributes to non-homogenous risk management which in turn leads to a situation where the society’s safety isn’t the same in all of the country which the law says it should be. To get in terms with this problem there

New construction solutions, such as low energy buildings and lightweight ship constructions in FRP composite, are designed with more insulation than regular constructions. This may affect the fire development, leading to dangerous conditions for occupants and firemen. Will increased thermal insulation of a compartment affect the fire development so that a higher heat release rate is reached; does

The energy demand in China is steadily growing and large hydropower dams become more and more common. A major dam failure could cause large environmental, economic and social effects, and work concerning safety in dams is therefore essential in order to keep the utilization of hydropower at as low risk level as possible. This master thesis analyzed Longtan Dam under static and dynamic conditions w

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a technique for modifying internal gas atmosphere of the food package to slow deteriorative reactions inside the package and prolong shelf life of the product. However, due to current limitations of this passive technology, there might be some opportunities for introduction of active MAP through microorganisms. Therefore, the study is conducted on investigati

Inom forskningsfältet för internationella marknadsföringsstrategier har det sedan länge funnits två läger av teoretiker. Det finns de som talar för standardisering av marknadsföringsstrategin och de som talar för anpassning. Forskningen som söker att utreda fenomenet är omfattande men fokuserar ofta enbart på kommunikationen med kund, samt på produkter eller varumärken. Då allt fler modekedjor bli

In this thesis, a risk analysis covering response procedures regarding fire alarms from automatic fire alarm systems is presented.

Uppsatsen undersöker hur en förändringsprocess implementeras och genomförs med utgångspunkt i en kommunal organisation och ur ett platsutvecklingsperspektiv. Där Landskrona stad ligger till grund som fallstudie för uppsatsen. Tidigare problem som identifieras inom ämnesområdet är att de flesta organisationer som strategiskt vill implementera en förändring misslyckas. Ytterligare ett problem är att

The use of an object-oriented approach in software engineering has proven to be successful for many years, but in the fields of mechanics and automation it has been ignored for long. The Tetra Pak Carton Bottle automation team believes that a switch from a function-oriented architecture to an object-oriented one would be of benefit not only to them but also any department which is involved with de

We’re living in a time where more and more evidence of our impact on the environment appears every day. A lot of resource and time have been spent in order to identify and inform about the ecological footprint us humans enlarge day by day.

A dynamical model for traffic networks is proposed and analyzed. In the traffic network, the transportation demands are considered as multi-commodity flows where each commodity has a unique destination. The network is modeled by a multigraph where at each node each commodity splits among the outgoing links in a way such that the drivers are more likely to avoid a road when the density on it increa
