1. 21. DEVELOPMENT OF RISK INFORMED METHODS FOR ESTIMATING RADIATION RELEASE FROM CABLE FIRES AT HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS FACILITIES

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Daniel Funk; [2020]
   Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; CERN; Fire-induced Radiological release; particle accelerator; Fire Protection; Fire Risk Analysis; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : CERN operates the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC was built to advance the state of knowledge in particle physics by increasing the energy of colliding particles to the TeV range. READ MORE

3. 22. Prescribed burning in Sweden : an evaluation of structural outcomes from restoration oriented prescribed burns

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

   Author : Virginia Hermanson; [2020]
   Keywords : prescribed burning; restoration; boreal forest; biodiversity burning; dead wood;

   Abstract : The application of prescribed burning as a conservation measure is a growing trend in Fennoscandia to restore forest landscapes that have been heavily impacted by humans. Both intensive management for forestry and wildfire suppression altered the disturbances shaping boreal forests over the past centuries, which seen today are more homogenous, lacking dead wood and deciduous trees, and are in the successional process towards darker Picea abies (Norway spruce) dominated stands.

4. 23. The impact of social influence on pre-evacuation behavior - An eye tracking analysis on information gathering during pre-evacuation behavior, comparing normative and informational social influence

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Rebecca Rostedt; Sofie Andersson; [2019]
   Keywords : Social influence; informational social influence; normative social influence; pre-evacuation; evacuation; eye-tracking; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study explores social influence within the pre-evacuation phase, which includes a literature review followed by experiments. The study is based on experiments by Latané and Darley (1968) but altered, here using eye tracking to examine if people who are alone use their gaze in the same way as people in a group, when collecting information in the pre-evacuation phase.

5. 24. Worst Credible Process Fire: Experiences from the Norwegian Petroleum Industry

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Linnéa Tengvall; [2019]
   Keywords : Worst Credible Process Fire; Norwegian offshore industry; offshore fire safety; offshore process safety; offshore design; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The term Worst Credible Process Fire (WCPF) was introduced to the Norwegian Petroleum Industry as a complement to the probabilistic approach to define design loads for offshore facilities. Currently there are mainly two documents about the WCPF being the SINTEF report (2017) and the definition in NORSOK S-001 (2018). READ MORE

6. 25. Fire effects in a landscape of fear : food availability and perceived predation risk as potential determinants of patch utilization by herbivore prey

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Author : David Kymmell; [2019]
   Keywords : landscape of fear; forest fire effects; herbivore prey; camera trapping;

   Abstract : Context: A major effect of climatic change is the global increase in forest fires, which potentially creates an increase in food availability for herbivorous species. Also vegetation density and the numbers of tree logs increase in burned sites, and this is thought to influence the perceived risk of herbivore prey species, which affects their anti‐predator behaviour and thereby the patch utilization.
