När EKS 11 publicerades blev det krav på att i Br0-byggnader göra en särskild bedömning av byggnadsdelars skyddsbehov med avseende på deras bärförmåga vid brand för att avgöra om det föreligger ett utökat skyddsbehov för byggnadsdelarna. I de fall där det föreligger ett utökat skyddsbehov ökar de brandtekniska kraven som ställs på byggnadsdelarna, medan i de fall där det inte föreligger ett utökatThe aim of this thesis is to investigate which factors that should be taken into consideration in the assessment of extended fire safety for building components in building class Br0. Problem areas have been identified through a literature study in this field.

Dessa medievågor mäts av ett så kallat Search Volume Index vilket vi använt oss av för att se hur aktiekursen och avkastningarna påverkats av uppmärksamheten bolagen får vid börsintroduktion. Prisutvecklingen baseras också på om aktien är under- eller överprissatt vilket också undersöks i studien. Indexet har sats

Different homogenous and heterogenous catalysts, including different noble metals on silica or carbon and methyltrioxorhenium (MTO), were screened for their catalytic activity in the deoxydehydration of mucic and tartaric acid. A method for the determination of yields by NMR was developed and the reaction conditions, e.g. solvent composition and acidic catalyst, were optimized for tartaric acid. T

When designing large buildings with complex geometry there is often a need for performance-based design and the use of computer models. CFD models like FDS that are available and validated for this purpose are typically time consuming and require large amounts of computing power. Zone models which are often faster and require less computing power are limited to simple geometries and smaller sized
