  1. 16. 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

  3. 17. An arena for effective opposition? : A systematic investigation into political opposition in the European Parliament

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Emelie Lundell; [2021]
    Keywords : political opposition; opposition deficit; European Parliament; European Union; Peter Mair; democratic legitimacy; democratic deficit;

    Abstract : The European Union is suffering from a legitimacy crisis, which thus far has culminated with Great Britain’s decision to exit the union. According to the ‘opposition deficit thesis’, this is caused as there is no arena in which effective opposition can be voiced in the European Union, which forces EU citizens to organise their opposition outside the political system, and often against it.

  4. 18. Integration of Hydrogen Production via Water Electrolysis at a CHP Plant : A feasibility study

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Anton Ottosson; [2021]
    Keywords : Electrolyzer; Energy; CHP; Hydrogen; Feasibility; PEM; water electrolysis; Elektrolysör; Energi; CHP; Vätgas; PEM; vattenelektrolys;

    Abstract : Hydrogen gas (H2), that is not produced from fossil oil or natural gas, is expected to become a cornerstone in the energy transition strategy in Europe. The recent years, technological and economic advances in the electrolyzer area, along with political and corporate support, have put H2 at the forefront of many countries’ climate change agenda.

  5. 19. Inverse probability weighted generalised estimating equations for longitudinal data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Andrea Mattsson; [2021]
    Keywords : weighted generalised estimating equations; inverse probability weighting; longitudinal study; missing data; truncation by death; lung function; FEV1; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Longitudinal study designs, in which variables of interest are observed at multiple time points in a study population, are frequently used in clinical research. Missing data are common in these types of studies. Moreover, in studies investigating a population where the mortality rate is high, data can be truncated by death. READ MORE

  6. 20. Development, Modelling and Investigation of a Robotic Exoskeleton for Astronaut Back Support

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Evert Häggman; [2021]
    Keywords : Exoskeleton; Musculoskeletal Disorders; Biorobotics; Astronaut;

    Abstract : Musculoskeletal disorders, specifically low back pain, has been well documented andreported by astronauts throughout the space exploration era. Statistics from astronautmemoirs states that 52-68% of astronauts experience moderate to severe lower backpain after prolonged spaceflights. READ MORE
