   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap (from 2013)

   Author : Karin Faxén Sporrong; [2024]
   Keywords : The male gaze; the queer gaze; Edgar Allan Poe; Berenice: A Tale ; The Man that was Used Up ; The Man of the Crowd ; Den manliga blicken; den queera blicken; Edgar Allan Poe; Berenice ; Den förbrukade mannen ; Mannen i Mängden ;

   Abstract : The purpose of this essay is to show the narrator’s use of the male and the queer gaze in three short stories by Edgar Allan Poe: “Berenice: A Tale” (1835), “The Man that was Used Up: A Tale of the Late Bugaboo and Kickapoo Campaign” (1839) and ”The Man of the Crowd” (1845). Through close reading of the stories, I show how the different gazes work, how they are used in the stories and what they lead to. READ MORE

3. 2. Variable acoustics in multi-functional stadiums

   University essay from KTH/Teknisk akustik

   Author : Felix Vernersson; [2022]
   Keywords : Variable acoustics; Reflections; Gain; Reverberation; Clarity; Frequency masking; Perception of reflected sounds; Variabel akustik; Reflektioner; Rumsförstärkning; Efterklang; Klarhet; Frekvensmaskering; Uppfattning av reflekterade ljud;

   Abstract : This paper handles the background theory, methods and results of the master thesis project titled "Variable acoustics in multi-functional stadiums". \\ The purpose of the project was to investigate whether variable room acoustics could be applicable to large multi-functional stadiums to improve their ability to adapt the soundscape in the stadium for different types of events.

4. 3. Efficiency of synthetic vision in simple scenarios

   University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

   Author : Richard Palm; Håvard Woie Alstadheim; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Modern crowd simulation models can display a range of different properties, such as realism, efficiency, or emergent self-organizing patterns. These properties often vary by the specific situation that the model is used in. A model can be realistic when used in one scenario and break down completely in another scenario. READ MORE

5. 4. Simulation of standing versus crawling during evacuation from a smoke-filled room

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : David Bergendorff; Jonas Lundin; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Crawling is often the recommended method when evacuating from a burning room. In this study, an agent based crowd simulation in combination with a fire dynamics simulator is used in order to compare how well crawling evacuation compares to a standing type of evacuation. READ MORE

6. 5. The Diminishing Returns of Adding Exits in Crowd Evacuation Simulations

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Karl Brunnberg; [2021]
   Keywords : Crowd simulations; evacuation simulations; exits; exit layout; diminishing returns; Simulering av folkmassor; simulering av evakueringar; utgångar; utgångslayout; avtagande avkastning;

   Abstract : A commonly researched problem in computer science considers the different parameters of an evacuation simulation and how they affect evacuation times. Parameters like room size, obstacles and exit layouts have proven to have an impact on evacuation times. READ MORE
