Deluge and gas explosion risk management: A decision support framework

On offshore installations for oil- and gas exploration, fire-water deluge systems are often installed to mitigate the effect in case of fires. Recent research has shown that the deluge can also be used to mitigate explosion consequences by activating deluge on gas detection. The effect of deluge on the explosion risk is however very complex and could in some cases lead to increased explosion risk

Disaster Management Capacity from a National Perspective

Capacity development projects must be based on a thorough understanding of the situation within the subject country. However, the assessment phase is a very complex process and should cover a great number of aspects that both in time and space could affect the outcome of a triggering event. This project tries to identify what general aspects that could affect a country’s Disaster Management Capaci

Evaluation of alternative discharging points from Valdivia Cellulose Plant by using Bayesian Belief Network for environmental risk management

In November 2004, Valdivia Cellulose Pulp Plant started operating in San Pedro de la Mariquina, 56 kilometers north-west of Valdivia in southern Chile. A few months later a decrease in the population of the Black Necked Swans (Cygnus melancoryphus) in the Carlos Anwandter Sanctuary, near the discharging point of the mill, was discovered. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate three alternative disc

Ledningssystem för säkerhet, hälsa och miljö anpassat för industriparker

The aim of the thesis is to present a safety, health and environmental management system based on ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 for Industry Park of Sweden. The resulting system is based on a gap analysis between an ideal system and IPOS existing management system. The resulting management system emphasis safety culture before regulations and lets the tenants of the Industry Park proceed with their in

Neural Correlates of Emotional Retrieval Orientation: An electrophysiological investigation into strategic retrieval processing of emotional memories

Retrieval Orientation refers to the differential processing of memory retrieval cues according to the sought after information (Rugg & Wilding, 2000). The study manipulated the orientation effect by varying the retrieval demand on a block basis using two emotional source recognition conditions and a non-emotional old-new recognition condition. Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) evoked by new face
