1. 31. Visibility in Smoke With Different Extinction Coefficients

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Lea Elhokayem; [2022]
   Keywords : Visibility; smoke; exit sign; extinction coefficient; visibility constant; evacuation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Visibility in smoke has since the 1970s gained some attention, mostly after Tadahisa Jin ran the experiments which helped him develop todays widely used visibility equation. By showing that visibility can be assumed to be inversely proportional to the extinction coefficient by a visibility constant (equal to 8 for light emitting sign and 3 for light reflecting), Jin opened up new doors for researchers who were testing out his theory by going around experimenting in different ways and also by showing that there is way for more research to be done.

4. 33. How have the grocery shopping practices of university students in Jönköping been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative study

   University essay from Jönköping University/IHH, Företagsekonomi

   Author : Melanie Fijnheer; Aqsaa Bidiwala; [2021]
   Keywords : Practice theory; consumption; grocery shopping; COVID-19; pandemic; consumer behavior; university students; Jönköping;

   Abstract : With the COVID-19 pandemic taking over the world faster than anyone had anticipated and creating a ‘new normal’, consumers had to adapt and get used to these changes. The pandemic caused lockdowns in several parts of the world, where businesses, schools, and stores had to shut their doors, although essential stores such as grocery stores remained open. READ MORE

5. 34. Risk-aware Autonomous Driving Using POMDPs and Responsibility-Sensitive Safety

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

   Author : Caroline Skoglund; [2021]
   Keywords : Computer Science - Robotics; Autonomous driving; partially observable Markov decision process; motion planning under uncertainty; risk estimation;

   Abstract : Autonomous vehicles promise to play an important role aiming at increased efficiency and safety in road transportation. Although we have seen several examples of autonomous vehicles out on the road over the past years, how to ensure the safety of autonomous vehicle in the uncertain and dynamic environment is still a challenging problem.

6. 35. Evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å at Ängelholm, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Arnold Mate Kalimukwa; Abuzack Juma Mohamed; [2021]
   Keywords : HEC-RAS; BSTEM; cross section; erosion; sediment transport; deposition; bank stability; safety factor; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This master thesis report presents the results of evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å (river) at Ängelholm, located in south-west of Sweden within Scania. The main objectives cover building a hydrodynamic model, studying parameters that define sediment transport, modelling sediment transport within the river, mapping out erosive stretches and comparing to earlier observational study conducted by Norconsult in 2013, and finally conducting analysis of bank stability in most erosive stretches.
