  2. 1. Durability of fire exposed concrete : Experimental Studies Focusing on Sti„ffness & Transport Properties

    Author : Joakim Albrektsson; Johan Silfwerbrand; Lars Boström; Manouchehr Hassanzadeh; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concrete; Fire; Polypropylene fibres; Durability; Tunnel; Damage assessment; Ultrasonic pulse velocity; Water absorption; Chloride migration; DIC; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : Road and rail tunnels are important parts of the modern infrastructure. High strength concrete (HSC) is commonly used for tunnels and other civil engineering structures, since it allows high load carrying capacity and long service life. In general, Swedish road and rail tunnels should be designed for a service life of 120 years. READ MORE

  4. 2. Water mist fire protection systems : The development of testing procedures for marine and heritage applications

    Author : Magnus Arvidsson; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vattendimma; brand; fartyg; kulturbyggnader; Water mist; fire protection; fire test procedures; Ships; marine applications; heritage buildings;

    Abstract : Modern, commercial water mist fire protection system technology evolved at the beginning of the 1990s due a need to replace halon fire-extinguishing systems and improve fire safety on passenger ships. This thesis documents the unknown water mist system development work by two Swedish companies during the 1970s and 1980s. READ MORE

  5. 3. Infrared Laser Stimulation of Cerebral Cortex Cells - Aspects of Heating and Cellular Responses

    Author : Rickard Liljemalm; Tobias Nyberg; Hans von Holst; Claus-Peter Richter; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laser; modeling; heating; infrared neural stimulation; astrocytes; neurons; damage;

    Abstract : The research of functional stimulation of neural tissue is of great interest within the field of clinical neuroscience to further develop new neural prosthetics. A technique which has gained increased interest during the last couple of years is the stimulation of nervous tissue using infrared laser light. READ MORE

  6. 4. Multispectral Remote Sensing and Deep Learning for Wildfire Detection

    Author : Xikun Hu; Yifang Ban; Ioannis Gitas; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; active fire detection; biome; multi-criteria; Sentinel-2; Landsat-8; burned area mapping; deep learning; semantic segmentation; machine learning.; aktiv branddetektering; biom; multikriterietillvägagångssätt; Sentinel-2; Landsat-8; kartläggning av bränt område; djupinlärning; semantisk segmentering; maskininlärningsmetoderna; Geoinformatik; Geoinformatics;

    Abstract : Remote sensing data has great potential for wildfire detection and monitoring with enhanced spatial resolution and temporal coverage. Earth Observation satellites have been employed to systematically monitor fire activity over large regions in two ways: (i) to detect the location of actively burning spots (during the fire event), and (ii) to map the spatial extent of the burned scars (during or after the event).

    Abstract : Earth Observation (EO) satellites have great potential in wildfire detection and assessment at fine spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions. For a long time, satellite data have been employed to systematically monitor wildfire dynamics and assess wildfire impacts, including (i) to detect the location of actively burning spots, (ii) to map the spatial extent of the burn scars, (iii) to assess the wildfire damage levels.
