EA-based evacuation planning using agent-based crowd simulation

, 2014
Safety planning for crowd evacuation is an important and active research topic nowadays. One important issue is to devise the evacuation plans of individuals in emergency situations so as to reduce the total evacuation time.

Dicarboxymethyl Cellulose‐Based Mixed‐Matrix Membrane Adsorbers: Preparation, Characterization, and Protein Retention Performance

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Dicarboxymethyl cellulose is incorporated, for the first time, into a polyethersulfone membrane. The functional membranes are prepared using dimethyl isosorbide through combined non‐solvent and vapor‐induced phase separation. The resulting membranes exhibit porous structures and protein‐retention potential, highlighting the potential of this cellulose ...

Comparative Performance of Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)/Chitosan Hydrogels Reinforced With Kraft Lignin and Kraft Lignin Nanoparticles

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The use of kraft lignin and kraft lignin nanoparticles in poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan hydrogels was comprehensively compared. The results showed that a higher loading of lignin nanoparticles than bulk kraft lignin could be incorporated while maintaining favorable hydrogel properties, leading to improved overall performance. ABSTRACT The development of

Simulation method for disaster mechanism caused by panic emotion of evacuation crowds

Egyptian Informatics Journal
The current state of crowd simulation technology remains inadequate in simulating stampede scenarios and predicting resultant casualties. To simulate how panic-induced crowd stampedes occur, this study develops a simulation model of crowd behaviors under

Deceleration in The Micro Traffic Model and Its Application to Simulation for Evacuation from Disaster Area [PDF]

, 2011
Referring to the Nagel–Schreckenberg’s (NaSch) model, we have studied the impact of agent and diligent driver into the micro traffic model in the case of evacuation. This study is attention to the deceleration that added in the micro traffic model.

Crowd Evacuation Model Based on Improved PSO Algorithm

, 2020
: Aiming at the poor local optimization ability and easy premature convergence of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm in evacuation simulation, a crowd evacuation model based on the improved PSO algorithm is proposed.

Dissecting the dissection laboratory: Elements for designing a human anatomy laboratory

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The human anatomy dissection laboratory is a critical component of anatomical and medical education. Development, maintenance, and stocking of these laboratory spaces have unique demands, with all of the challenges in running a laboratory with Biosafety Laboratory Level 2 (BSL‐2) classification, housing a large volume of tissues saturated with

Free Trade Zones and Corporate ESG: Evidence From a Quasi‐Natural Experiment in China

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how China's Pilot Free Trade Zones (FTZs) influence corporate ESG performance. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences model on Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2024, we combine coarsened exact matching (CEM) and geography‐based instrumental variables to ensure robust identification.
