1. 11. Using Logistic Regression and Variable Selection to Model Time-To-Event Data:Applications to Tree Phenology and Graduation Time of Engineers

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Jesse Burström; [2013]
   Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : The day of bud burst (DBB) and leaf senescence are two examples of time-to-event phenological processes influenced by climate factors. Time to graduation or quitting for engineering students is another example of time-to-event data, with the added complication of having multiple possible outcomes, or absorbing states. READ MORE

3. 12. Analysis of design options and trade-offs for road tunnels incorporating suppression systems

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

   Author : Anna-Maria Ejrup; [2011]
   Keywords : Tunnel; fire safety; design fire; suppression; ventilation; mist; deluge; trade-off. Tunnel; brandskydd; dimensionerande brand; släcksystem; vattendimma.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The possibility of trade-offs in road tunnel design incorporating suppression has been evaluated. Different tunnel configurations and ventilation conditions considered to identify potential trade-offs, offering options of design alternatives for future substantial cost-benefit estimates.

4. 13. Quantifying Risk for Deemed-to-Satisfy Apartment Buildings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Ulf Johansson; [2010]
   Keywords : Deemed-to-Satisfy; prescriptive design; fire risk analysis; QRA; Quantitative Risk Analysis; Quantified risk; risk to life; case study; Science General; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Is it possible to quantify the risks associated with building design compliant with Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions? Prescriptive regulations can be said to provide an acceptable level of safety. Developments in the field of fire safety engineering have provided probabilistic methods for safety verification.

5. 14. A comparison between risk and vulnerability methods - applied to a Flue Gas Desulphurasation Facility (FGD) at a coal power plant in Germany

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

   Author : Svante Einarsson; [2008]
   Keywords : Risk analysis; Vulnerability analysis; Flue Gas Desulphurisation FGD ; Preliminary analysis Event tree; An Approach to Vulnerability Analysis; mitigation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This report describes the differences between a risk analysis and a vulnerability analysis, when applied to a Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) facility. A Preliminary risk analysis complemented by an Event Tree analysis is compared with An App-roach to Vulnerability Analysis of Complex Industrial Systems by Einarsson and Rausand (1998). READ MORE

6. 15. Analysing Fire Risk in Automated High Bay Warehouses - Applying the IEC model for risk analysis on high bay warehouses

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

   Author : Marcus Arvidsson; Frej Hult; [2006]
   Keywords : High Bay Warehouse; High Rack; Fire Risk Analysis; Ignition Frequency; Risk Analysis Framework; International Electrotechnical Commission; IKEA; Event Tree; Monte Carlo Analysis; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fire Dynamics Simulator; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This master thesis presents a framework, aimed at assessing fire risk in large automated warehouses. The International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) framework, Risk analysis of technological systems, provides the base, as to the functions of a risk analysis framework and this is subsequently adopted and expanded to better suit the fire risk analysis in high-bay warehouses.
