  1. 1. Permanent Fire Load of the Building Envelope

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Författare :Gizelle Danine Pondevida Jamero; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Permanent fire load; temporary fire load; fire load; building envelope; insulation; building content; upholstered furniture; heat of combustion; MCC; bomb calorimeter; cone calorimeter; room corner test.; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Fire load, the total thermal energy released by the combustion of a material, is an essential part of determining a building’s fire performance and the associated fire protection strategies. Elements in a structure are typically categorized into two types of fire loads: permanent and temporary. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery Monitoring using MODIS Time Series: A Case Study in California

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Geoinformatik

    Författare :Julia Edje; [2023]
    Nyckelord :vegetation recovery; MODIS; HRT; EVI; fire; burn severity; land cover; climate zone; California;

    Sammanfattning : Human-caused forest fires have increased in magnitude and frequency, affecting global vegetation and requiring a re-evaluation of fire regimes. Changing fire regimes have led to reduced burned areas in fire- dependent ecosystems and increased areas in fire-independent ecosystems, resulting in changes in land cover and posing a threat to native plant communities.

  4. 3. Pricing and Modeling Heavy Tailed Reinsurance Treaties - A Pricing Application to Risk XL Contracts

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Författare :Ormia Abdullah Mohamad; Anna Westin; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Reinsurance; Extreme Value Theory; POT-model; Hill estimator; Risk XL contracts; Generalized Pareto distribution; Method of Moments.; Återförsäkring; Extremevärdesteori; POT-modellen; Hill estimatorn; Risk XL kontrakt; generella Paretofördelningen; Momentmetoden.;

    Sammanfattning : To estimate the risk of a loss occurring for insurance takers is a difficult task in the insurance industry. It is an even more difficult task to price the risk for reinsurance companies which insures the primary insurers. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Exploring the factors affecting tree establishment after wildfire in a boreal forest in Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Robert Pim; [2023]
    Nyckelord :tree regeneration; tree establishment; wildfire; boreal forests; disturbance; sapling regeneration; generalized linear mixed models;

    Sammanfattning : The factors affecting tree establishment in boreal forests after fire will help determine the community composition of the regenerating forest. These may have large consequences on the community dynamics for years after the fire disturbance. LÄS MER

  7. 5. In the Line of Fire: A Study of Market Efficiency in the Context of Wildfires and Stock Market Reactions

    C-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för redovisning och finansiering; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Författare :Isak Kristoffersson; Markus Lind; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Climate Disaster Events; Wildfires; Fire Weather Index; Fire Severity Rating; Efficient Market Hypothesis;

    Sammanfattning : Climate research finds that climate change and raising global temperatures increase the risk and severity of wildfires. However, the impact varies substantially based on geographical location and causes a dispersion in wildfire trends. LÄS MER
