1. 16. Security lighting in horse riding halls: Development of a simulation-led testing methodology in VR

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Sheikh Rishad Ahmmad; [2022]
   Keywords : Security lighting; horse riding halls; mesopic vision; Virtual Reality; object tracking; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Security lighting plays a vital role for safe evacuation during an emergency such as power outage or a fire related incidence. Installing a security lighting system properly is more crucial for a horse riding facility for two reasons. READ MORE

3. 17. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
   Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE

4. 18. The influence of climate, population density, tree species and land cover on fire pattern in mainland Portugal

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Luis Gomes; [2022]
   Keywords : GIS; forest fires; burnt Area; characteristic fire size; spatial analysis; mainland Portugal; FWI; Eucalyptus globulus; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Forest fires in mainland Portugal are becoming more extreme, resulting in increasingly larger burnt areas and tragic human fatalities, as was shown by the 2017 fires. Research shows that there are many natural factors contributing to such fire vulnerability conditions, such as climate, fuel continuity, forest structure, tree species types, amongst others, that are intertwined with anthropic factors than can intensity the fire vulnerability.

5. 19. The Combined Influences of Canopy Openness, Browsing Protection, and Low Intensity Fire on the Natural Regeneration of Oak in Southern Sweden

   University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

   Author : Benjamin Miles; [2022]
   Keywords : burn; browsing; disturbance; fire; light; oak; Q.robur; Q.petraea; ungulates;

   Abstract : Whilst oak was historically prevalent in the landscape of temperate Europe, changes in the disturbance regime of forests have led to limited regeneration across its distribution. In this study, the fire oak hypothesis is tested to assess the tolerance of Quercus robur and Quercus petraea recruits (seedlings and saplings) to a low intensity burn, and how this response may differ depending on the presence of browsing and canopy openness.

6. 20. Development and evaluation of an IoT network for sensing

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

   Author : Cristina García Moreno; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Sensor networks are being deployed to monitor physical surroundings in a wide range of applications including healthcare, agriculture, education, transportation, home automation, industry, and they are bringing revolutionary change in the innovation area. Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) offer tremendous potential for increasing the efficiency of many systems. READ MORE
