  1. 16. Verification Testing of Evacuationz, a Coarse Network Evacuation Model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Antariksh Gupta; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Several evacuation models exist in the market. It is an issue for both the user and developer to evaluate the ease of use and the quality of the model results. Verification is the process of determining that the results of a calculation method match with the developer's conceptual modelling representation expectations, i.e. READ MORE

  3. 17. Carta ex Machina: Testing object-based machine learning and unsupervised classification in land use change detection mapping in the semi-arid governorate of Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Abstract : Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia is an inland governorate in Tunisia that has undergone a rapid agricultural and urban development since the Tunisian independence in 1952 from being a rural and largely nomadic region into a hub of irrigated agriculture. In 2010 Mohamed Bouazizi sparked the Tunisian revolution by lighting himself on fire int he city of Sidi Bouzid, with some blaming the inequality and water scarcity created by this rapid expansion in the irrigation farming as an important cause (Bayat, 2017; Malka, 2018).
