2. 1. Improving disaster response evaluations : Supporting advances in disaster risk management through the enhancement of response evaluation usefulness

   Author : Ralf Josef Johanna Beerens; Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; crisis; disaster; emergency; disaster risk management DRM ; preparedness; exercise; simulation; response; performance; evaluation; usefullness; design; The Netherlands;

   Abstract : Future disasters or crises are difficult to predict and therefore hard to prepare for. However, while a specific event might not have happened, it can be simulated in an exercise. READ MORE

   Abstract : U-pipe Borehole Heat Exchangers (BHE) are widely used today in ground source heating and cooling systems in spite of their less than optimal performance. This thesis provides a better understanding on the function of U-pipe BHEs and Investigates alternative methods to reduce the temperature difference between the circulating fluid and the borehole wall, including one thermosyphon and three different types of coaxial BHEs.

5. 3. Improving emergency and disaster response management performance : A problem-solving perspective

   Author : Tove Frykmer; Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; emergency; disaster; response management performance; problem solving; collective;

   Abstract : The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to investigate how collective emergency and disaster response management performance can be further improved. Based on four studies, this research contributes with knowledge in two areas.First, collective processes that might improve response management are investigated. READ MORE

6. 4. Resilience in High Risk Work : Analysing Adaptive Performance

   Author : Amy Rankin; Henrik Eriksson; Margareta Lützhöft; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Resilience Engineering; Safety Management; Adaptive Capacity; Improvisation;

   Abstract : In today’s complexsocio-technical systems it is not possible to foresee and prepare for allfuture events. To cope with the intricacy and coupling between people,technical systems and the dynamic environment people are required tocontinuously adapt. READ MORE

7. 5. Contributions to Performance Modeling and Management of Data Centers

   Author : Rerngvit Yanggratoke; Rolf Stadler; Filip De Turck; KTH; []

   Abstract : Over the last decade, Internet-based services, such as electronic-mail, music-on-demand, and social-network services, have changed the ways we communicate and access information. Usually, the key functionality of such a service is in backend components, which are located in a data center, a facility for hosting computing systems and related equipment. READ MORE
