Human decision-making in crowds in a virtual flood scenario [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesFlood evacuation outcomes are critically shaped by human behaviour, yet empirical data on individual decision-making remain scarce due to the dangers and logistical challenges of collecting data during real natural hazards.

Toward a Mathematical Theory of Behavioral-Social Dynamics for Pedestrian Crowds [PDF]
, 2014 This paper presents a new approach to behavioral-social dynamics of pedestrian crowds by suitable development of methods of the kinetic theory. It is shown how heterogeneous individual behaviors can modify the collective dynamics, as well as how local ...

Many-particle simulation of the evacuation process from a room without visibility
, 2003 We study the evacuation process from a smoky room by means of experiments and simulations. People in a dark or smoky room are mimicked by ``blind'' students wearing eye masks.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wellbore instability driven by the volumetric expansion of reactive shale formations remains a primary operational challenge in modern drilling engineering, causing severe mechanical failures and substantial economic deficits. The objective of this study is to formulate and evaluate a novel dual‐action chemical additive capable of ...

A crowd route choice evacuation model in large indoor building spaces
Frontiers of Architectural Research, 2018 Route choice is a fundamental requirement in the evacuation process. The aim of this paper is to identify a method to simulate crowds in large indoor spaces with consideration of the acoustic system.

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract The development of renewable energy sources is important in order to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Waste cooking oil (WCO) is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production through transesterification. Heterogeneous bifunctional catalysts offer a sustainable alternative to conventional homogeneous bases such ...

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract By skipping school for their cause, young climate strikers repeatedly demonstrated their priorities in 2019 and 2020. They regularly chose to sacrifice a day of their formal education in favour of collective action. This study asks what we can learn from the reflections of former youth strikers.
