Fire safety evaluation at the Swedish Rescue Services Agency office building. Conclusions are based on a fullscale evacuation drill compared with calculations and computer simulations concerning smokefilling and evacuation. Suggestions have been made to improve the situation of evacuation today from the results and judgements made. (Swedish)
This report describes a method, how to perform a risk analysis and compere the result from it with the rescue forces capacity. It also discusses how to pre-plan your rescue operation with the results from a risk analysis as basis. (Swedish)
n this report the pilot safety, in case of an accident where an aircraft overturns and catches fire on landing, is evaluated. Laboratory tests and full scale tests have been carried out. Results from the tests, computer simulations and theories are discussed and compared. Suggestions for improvement are presented.
This report deals with flame extinguishment of liquid and solid fuels in an experiment construction widely known as Burner Cup. The fuels are heptan, methanol and PMMA. According to a theory called fire point theory developed by Rasbash also further developed by Beyler the extinguish concentration increasing when applied external flux increases. Experiments have earlier been done by Magee and Rei
This report evaluates and compares the methods in fire inspection at Malmø Fire Brigade and Copenhagen Fire Brigade. The report also examines fire safety laws and regulations and the educational differences of the fire inspectors in Malmø and Copenhagen. The investigation is a project for Malmø Fire Brigade and Copenhagen Fire Brigade in co-operation with the Department of Fire Safety Engineering
The aim in this report is to create a decision tool for fire protection investments at StoraEnso Pulp, Skutskär Mill, Building TKM. Expected Monetary Value (EMV) for damage caused by fire have been calculated from fire hazard analysis, design fire, expected damage, expected fire scenario in different parts of the buildings, probability analysis and effects of fire safety systems, and from economic
This report discusses different parameters that affect external fire spread between buildings. A comparison between different methods and regulations of determining safe separation distances between buildings is made. The importance of external flames projected from openings is investigated with regards to the amount of emitted and received radiation. Finally, areas of further research are suggest
Signals from three analouge sensors has been evaluated. The sensors are an optical sensor, a heat sensor and a multi sensor. The components of the multi sensor are an optical sensor and a heat sensor. The signals came from disturbing sources and test fires at a full scale test. The purpose is to find algorithms that filtrate some of the disturbing sources but does not delay the alarm from the test
This report is based on full-scale evacuation-experiments and it aims to present an evacuation alarm or a combination of alarms which will initiate an evacuation fast. It also shows how an existing alarm could be improved without investing in new expensive systems. 18 full-scale experiments are performed at a movie theatre in Malmö, Sweden. During these evacuations, six different alarm combination
This report investigates the heat transfer through the bulkhead exposed to an engine compartment fire. Calculations are carried out with two different computer programs to solve the one dimensional heat transfer problem. Material properties are obtained by use of cone calorimeter, computer simulations, literature studies and appraisals. Conclusions are made of the possibility to predict heat trans
The reports objective is to present a model for calculating the protective distance when ammonia disperse from a land based vehicle. The model is based on a response surface together with a user guide that makes it possible to use the response surface even when one or all of the variables in the response surface is unknown. The report is written in Swedish.
Millions of Westerners went on holiday behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. This article considers the place of Eastern Europe in the international travel industry through the prism of Folkturist, a travel agency owned by the Communist Party of Sweden. By analysing Folkturist's business strategies and interactions with the East European tourist industries, the article shows the competing i
This paper explores the evolution and determinants of public support for the euro since its creation in 1999 until the end of 2017, thereby covering the pre-crisis experience of the euro, the crisis years and the recent recovery. Using uniquely large macro and micro databases and applying up-to-date econometric techniques, we revisit the growing literature on public support for the euro. First, we
Objective Blood pressure variability (BPV) has been associated with risk of cardiovascular events in observational studies, independently of mean BP levels. In states with higher autonomic imbalance, such as in diabetes, the importance of BP variability may theoretically be even greater. We aimed to investigate the incremental value of BPV for prediction of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality i
In the Western world, lymphedema most commonly occurs following treatment of cancer. Limb reductions have been reported utilizing various conservative therapies including manual lymph and pressure therapy, as well as by microsurgical reconstruction involving lymphovenous shunts and transplantation of lymph vessels or nodes. Failure of these conservative and surgical treatments to provide complete
We demonstrate a process to vary the gate-length of vertical MOSFETs on the same sample with high accuracy and high performance. Fabricated vertical InAs/InGaAs MOSFETs on Si have gate length ranging from 25 nm to 140 nm. The results shown are from single nanowire transistors as well as arrays with nanowires ranging from 80 to 500 nanowires. The devices show good yield and clear scaling trends. We
III-V nanowires have tunable dimensions, between 40 nm and 100 nm in diameter and between 1 and 15 μm in length. Due to their small diameter, they are ideal candidates to interact with cells without detrimental effects on the cell viability. Nanowires can be used as sensors: in our case, we have shown that arrays of vertical gallium phosphide nanowires are promising materials for biosensing in mem
Objective: To evaluate urinary tract and bowel function in children with sacrococcygeal teratoma, compare the findings with healthy children, and assess predictors of poor outcome. Study design: This was a controlled cohort study of all patients operated for sacrococcygeal teratoma at a tertiary pediatric surgery center, 2000-2013. Urinary and bowel function were compared with healthy control pati
