Investigating the impact of culture on evacuation behaviour
Galea, Edwin, Deere, S., Sharp, G., Filippidis, L. and Hulse, L. (2010) Investigating the impact of culture on evacuation behaviour. In: Interflam 2010: 12th International Fire Science & Engineering Conference. Interscience Communications, Greenwich, London, UK, pp. 879-892. ISBN 9780954121655Full text not available from this repository.
A framework to enable the systematic analysis of Response Phase behaviours is presented and applied to an unannounced evacuation trial in a university library in the Czech Republic. The framework not only provides a consistent method for describing Response Phase behaviour, but also provides a framework for classifying and quantifying the Response Phase other than simply using the overall response time. The framework also provides a means of predicting average response times based on a number of empirical factors. This work forms the basis of a large study concerned with investigating the impact of culture on evacuation behaviour.

Intent on transforming a man into an ogre, First Stage risks missing the point: Appearances notwithstanding, this ogre feels and loves like a man. »Read Full Article(1)

Ibuprofen Synthesis
Application ID: 1307
Kinetic analysis of catalytic reactions is essential for understanding rate behavior as well as the reaction mechanism. Developing knowledge of intrinsic reaction kinetics and of rate equations is central to reaction engineering studies aimed at improving reactor design.
This model illustrates the reaction kinetics of a complex chemistry occurring in a perfectly stirred tank reactor. The homogeneous catalysis of 1-(4-isobutylphenyl) ethanol into the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen serves as the example chemistry. The model determines concentrations of reactants, intermediates, and products as functions of time for the network of chemical reactions.
The model focuses on the use of the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module for a kinetics investigation. You easily enter chemical reaction formulas from the keyboard, then the Reaction Engineering interface automatically generates rate expressions and material balances. It solves the equations, and you analyze results directly in the COMSOL Desktop.
This application was built using the following:Chemical Reaction Engineering Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on the physics interfaces that define it. Particular physics interfaces may be common to several products (see the Specification Chart for more details). To determine the right combination of products for your project, you should evaluate all of your needs in light of each product's capabilities, consultation with the COMSOL Sales and Support teams, and the use of an evaluation license.

Kerry people just run rings around the willing tourists
Published 13/08/2014 | 02:30
Every summer for the past fifteen or so years, my sister and I and our families have holidayed in a rented house somewhere around the coast of Ireland. We all like messing around in the water.
In recent years we have been going to Kerry. This is because, though it pains me to admit this as a native of a neighbouring county, we feel Kerry and particularly the Iveragh Peninsula suits us well in terms of accessibility and attractions, both natural and man-made.
Not that there is anything too accessible about a near-five-hour journey from the Midlands. But we were determined to be on holidays from the time we got in the car; and the vibrant palate of red velvet fuchsia, orange montbretia waves, purple heather and loosestrife mixed with various coloured hydrangeas moderated the drive from Killarney.
I know the Ring of Kerry, which is now part of the Wild Atlantic way, trailed the likes of the neighbouring West Cork in the overall satisfaction ratings in the 2013 Holidaymaker survey - transport in the area was the Achilles heel, being rated among the lowest in the country. But I have no doubt that this 179km loop road will remain top of many visitors must-do list.
Tourism for the masses started to take off in this part of the country with the coming of the railways and the building of associated hotels, the first of which to be built in Ireland was the Great Southern Hotel in Killarney in 1854, while Queen Victoria stayed in Muckross in 1861.
Almost a century earlier Englishman Arthur Young had described the area as "the wildest and most romantic country I had anywhere seen."
Dramatic scenery tends not to be overly compatible with dramatic agricultural production and so, of necessity, some landowners in the area are firstly farmers of tourists rather than livestock. I think that the enthusiasm, pragmatism and foresight that they show towards tourism has ensured its longevity.
Kerry-men and women are a special breed of people when it comes to tourism. On an ordinary day they could sell ice to the Greenlanders. On a good one, they would make a decent stab at offloading smog to China. Who else would have the chutzpah to create an industry based on a road that would have been narrow even when trap cars were the common form of transport?
You tell them what you want and they will provide it. You want biodegradable dog poo bags at Derrynane beach car park? Done. You want a cúpla focal? Not just happy but proud to oblige. It's about more than cuteness though. They're willing to put themselves out too, with some people even swapping a caravan for the family home over the summer to rent it out.
Freddies bar & shop in Caherdaniel might look old-fashioned but step inside and the modern discerning tourist can procure anything from Green & Black chocolate and Bombay Mix to fresh chillis, Little Tree air fresheners and the Financial Times.
There is also a row of a hundred or so books left behind in local holiday homes, proceeds from the sale of which go to a local hospice. Incidentally, the current titles include two copies of Fifty Shades of Grey. Down the road is the excellent Blind Piper bar, around the bend is Siopa Glaise Rinn where the first batch of freshly baked croissants will be gone within minutes of opening.
A local businesswoman described the current summer as powerful. While most of us would assume she was referring to the fine weather, it wasn't the weather she was talking about.
While Waterville recently attracted negative publicity when the owner of a café placed a sign in his window declaring 'No bus/coach or loud American's' [sic]. The café owner claimed that many of these were spending a penny, but nothing more.
Now there is a sign on the way into the town which declares 'Waterville Tidy Towns welcomes EVERYBODY'. Indeed, proving the old adage that there is no such thing as bad publicity, the café has now become something of a tourist attraction in its own right. Sure, between that and all the Sceiligs/Starwars hype, there's only so much attention that any one place can take in a season!
If it's raining, that's not a problem either. Cycling or walking in soft rain can be quite pleasant if you have the gear. If you don't, or are a fair weather participant, there are plenty of alternatives for all interests and ages, including Derrynane House, the mobile cinema, O'Carrolls Cove beach bar and Skelligs Chocolates.
While this was our third year in the Caherdaniel area, we never stay in the same house. We feel that each one offers a different experience.
Some houses are Spartan. Once there was no chopping board or sharp knife but loads of wine and beer glasses. One was damp, another had a four-poster bed. Still another was decorated with genuine antiques, and even had a telescope. Most houses are modern, spacious and bright and we have come across every combination of TV remotes imaginable. Often there is no sweeping brush or clothes line. It all adds to the jigsaw of life.
On the morning after arrival this year, Sarah and I headed out on foot from our house on the edge of the village when we got talking to a lady who has a holiday home up the road. She told us about the bog road that goes on up over Coomnahorna Mountain. It proved a pleasant walk one morning and we were treated to fabulous views across Lough Currane, Valentia Island and Carrantuohill.
Last year, we stayed in Farraniaragh and the kids had great fun jumping off Bunavalla Pier at high tide. But our best find to date has been Reen beach, on the westerly tip of Westcove harbour. It is sandy and the sand is good for building. The water is shallow and excellent for swimming and a variety of water activities, except the extreme. This is a popular area with indigenous visitors, especially families, many of them from Cork and well-heeled.
It's a lovely area to visit: but its lovely, too, to return home.

The Giving state of Mind: Key to Success
Hi im Mantra, this is my first post. Im 17 years old, no experience with women whatsoever. But a few days ago, I had an epiphany and everything seemed to make sense, I finally understood what it is to be a true natural. The following is a culmination of Zan Perrion's and Rion Williams' teachings:
Lets say, you see a hot girl. Dressed in sexy, tight clothes, blonde hair, make-up.....the whole package. She's a 10. Some of us are fearful of that, I used to be too until a few days ago. Now, through natural grounding, you know that what she is showing, is not her natural character or her 'true' beauty. It is only a mask of what society has turned her into. You are sad for a while, because you know that she wants to escape that social BS and wants to be her true natural self again. But then you are happy, because you know that you are going to BE THE MAN, who is going to take her away from the social fascade.
How are you going to BE THE MAN? Through your state of mind. It's all about having a 'giving' mentality. When you're in that state, You don't want to take something from her, you don't want sex. Rather you want to give her the freedom of being herself and escape society. As Zan says, every girl wants to be in a love story, and you are her prince charming. When you're in the 'giving' state of mind. There is no more fear, why? Because it is biologically impossible for a man to be afraid of a woman's natural character, you see her for who she is and not her society adapted self and you want her to see herself as who she actually is. An innocent, beautiful, virtuous, nice girl.
It's about having an innate love for women, but not women as in the sexy tight clothes, the make-up, the sexploitation of society. But rather a love for women in their true natural state, the innocent, nice, smiling state. And knowing that you are her escape from the socio-cultural oppression. When you are cognitive of that fact, you have that mentality no matter where you are, there is no more fear. Women, with their heightened intuition can sense that you are the one who knows their truth, their secret, so they can trust you with it. They will let their shields down, and make themselves vulnerable to your touch, because they know that you are a man of true character.
When in this state, you don't even have to say a word. If you are cognitive of all that I've said so far, your physiology and energy will speak for you. But ofcourse to change the neurology of the brain and make new neural pathways, to overpower your previous beliefs is going to take some work. Visualisations and affirmations, but once your consious and subconcious mind are together on this 'giving', state of mind, you will communicate everything without saying anything. Remember language was created by humans, but the process of attraction is purely biological.
At this point, the game becomes void. You don't need any pick up lines, or manipulative methods to break down her shields. She will willingly drop them down, because she can sense your energy, she knows that you are a true man. How are you a true man, in that 'giving' state? Because you don't 'want' anything from her like millions of other men, you want to 'give' her an escape from society and let her be herself. You are not attached to any outcomes, you see right through her socio-cultural adaptation to the supressed natural sexuality that lies within and you are the only one, who even knows that it exists. This myself is the nature of a true man.
When you're in that state, with enough work you don't have to put yourself in it, you will always be in it. But, when you're in that state, you are automatically the stimulus to your environment, and the stimulus to her, so that makes her the response. Which is the way its meant to be, and when it is that way because of your 'giving' state: Biology, Nature, Universe, everything is aligned.
And that my friends is the truth of being a natural.
Ever since learning this, internalising it through visualisations, affirmations etc. Girls have responded like never before, wherever I go. They are more playful and innocent, even the most popular girls in schools, the ones I used to be fearful of are now opening up their true nature. Ofcourse I myself also need more work to strengthen that giving state, but i'll get there.

What a life you will lead. Know always that you have this mindset. Remind yourself of it, demonstrate it. Promise now to bring these great word to life through your actions, because here, with the understanding you convey in this post you are walking a path toward mastery.
I thought I had a headstart in my youth attending a girl's school during the first term of it being do-ed aged 13. I made most of the mistakes possible with girls very early on & learned fast... but at seventeen I doubt I could have written the way you have here.
When we refuse to accept what we cannot change, this is trauma.
When we decide to change what we cannot accept, this is revolution.

Mantra, I am very impressed with your cognition of relational dynamics and what it means to be a natural! I look forward to further reports from you about your progress.
It sounds like you do natural grounding as taught by Rion Williams. Can you provide some insight into how you perform the natural grounding? Are there any specific things that you have learned that might help others in this practice?

basically all that natural grounding is meant to do is train your subconcious mind to look at women as their natural self. At one point in time i was addicted to pornography. For millions of other men, their view of women is skewed by what we call the 'forced reality'. So their subconcious mind attaches feelings or emotion to those skewed views of women, their social side. But unfortunately this social view is not the path to sex, or even close. Society makes us think it is. So if you can ground yourself and your subconcious on the natural view of women, then you will be able to communicate with them like no other man can.
Basically, all you do, is look at natural women on youtube, other websites etc..... Thai and Asian women in general demonstrate more natural character behaviourally. So look up these names on youtube and watch their music videos: Palmy, Oh La Naw, Katreeya English, Aya Ueto. Watch the secret to women video first so you know what you're looking for. But its not just about watching if you want to train your subconcious. watch these videos in a meditative state and visualize natural energy from these women flowing through, and through your mind. Visualizations are a very powerful way to train the subconcious mind.
Then, after a while, your view of women will change. You will no longer attach emotion to the sexy clothes, the make-up, the blonde hair, the sexploitation. Rather you will have emotion for her innocent, virtuous, smiling, nurturing, natural self.

I only wish I had been half this enlightened when I was your age. Not only are you learning the ways of women early on, but you've found a path that isn't tactics and routines. Kudos!
A word on affirmations. They only work when you already believe what you are affirming. It's more about reinforcing beliefs (by reminding yourself often), rather than changing them. This means, that if you don't don't truly believe X, then you must delve into the reason why (possibly by looking at the belief Y that holds it's place).

It seems similar as the feeling of having your Heart open.
You just Love, you don't want to take but give, you are truly happy and want others to be the same.
You truly Love women, there is no ego-neediness.
Yeah man,we must be talking about the same stuff.
I learned that from ideagasms.

You are very right Mantra. Every girl has a a true inbound nature that she want to own but society also has its influence that results in an exploited from. Whenever given a chance she wants to get back to the origin.
Your whole post is very inspiring but this paragraph has really touched my heart:

Well said, but I really think that we always want something about women in some way.
I think that when we feel atracted to women is our biological inner being or our mental being, that wants to connect with woman... conversation, sex, privacy...
But as you say, I think the difference, is the personal behaviour, you can walk around expressing "sex,sex,sex,sex" with an insane need, or you can walk around expressing "sex,love,understanding,connection,live"...

Kudos, that's one hell of a first post.
Have you ever read anything by David Deida? I think you'd like it. Some of the exercises he suggests remind me of this natural grounding thing. Except for the looking at girls in youtube video's part...
I just finished 'Wild Nights', one of the greatest books I ever read on spirituality and sexuality. Definitely no airy fairy crap in there!

wow, thats good thanks. my only issue is:
"You are sad for a while, because you know that she wants to escape that social BS and wants to be her true natural self again. But then you are happy, because you know that you are going to BE THE MAN, who is going to take her away from the social fascade."
Then why does she put on that front? I know girls who are just as beautiful who do not put on the front...

Behind the Blog: If It's Hip, It's Here
If it's Hip, It's Here a highly recommended one stop site for those looking for both visual inspiration and resource to help beautify the home. Just check out her recent indepth commentary about toilet seats and you know Laura is dedicated to keeping content and coverage uniquely engaging, no matter the topic. As always, we here at Unplggd love pulling back the red curtain to reveal the how and where of our favourite blogs, so today we take a look at Laura Sweet's home offices, ground zero of If it's Hip, It's Here... How would you describe your (home) office? Inspiring, comfortable, light, clean, organized and certainly convenient- about ten steps from the bedroom, the bathroom and the refrigerator, of course. What's always found on your desk/desktop? a cup of coffee (often cold), stick it notes, articles torn from newspapers and magazines, a flash drive and a dust cloth (for the monitor and keyboard). Fave thing about your workspace? That no one can bother me and that my dog can keep me company. What do you hate about your workspace? That no one can bother me and that my dog can keep me company.
What inspires you to blog? The desire to share with people all the amazing talent out there. Whether it's an unknown jewelry designer, an up and coming fine artist, a photographer whose work I've enjoyed, a unique new piece of furniture or a charitable cause... I just want others to know it exists. Whether they like it or not, that's up to them, I just want to educate and inform. Many blogs just have photos uploaded and/or a link. But I want people to get all the information they need from the article I posted, so they don't have to surf elsewhere. It's really more of an online magazine than a blog. Is it reflected in your workspace? It's reflected in my whole home. The furniture, the art, the photography, the books, the piles of magazines; they are all things that bring me great joy. I really consider every purchase, from switch plates to towels, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. My surroundings are very important to my sense of well-being and a bummed blogger is a bad blogger. Any tips or advice about office décor, layout, organization, working from home in general? For me to work properly, I have to get in the 'zone'. Meaning I can't be distracted or uncomfortable - so I'd suggest a good chair, good room temperature control (don't laugh.. being too hot or too cold can really ruin a writing streak), a large desktop area, up to date computers and software, and the ability to keep people out. I also like to decorate the office with things I find inspiring... great art, furniture and books. Where did you get all the great furniture in your home office? The vintage George Nelson desk, the vintage Knoll credenza and the mahogany printer table were all ebay finds years ago. The framed art was either purchased from galleries, the actual artists or on ebay- except for the vintage drawing of the Chrysler concept car, that came from a dismantled dealer showroom in Michigan. The aeron chair and all computers were a result of major surfing for the best prices. When did you start If It's Hip, It's Here and why? My first post was in december of 2006, but I didn't really get rolling until 2007. I began the blog as a way to share the things I thought were beautifully designed and functional, yet unknown to the general public. Why? Because I have often been asked where I found the art, decor, furniture and more in my own home (birmingham, michigan) and apartment (beverly hills, ca) and this was the easiest way to tell people. From there it grew into my desire to share all things design related, whether I owned them or not.

London, Feb 25 : Prince Harry's new girlfriend Cressida Bonas' natural charm, confidence and her love for live are some of the reasons as to why he has been smitten by her.
The 24-year-old society model, manages to look glamorous even when she is posing in a bikini and baseball cap, or is wrapped up in a bobble-hat and goggles on the marked ski run, the Daily Express reported.
Bonas, known as Cressie, does not take life too seriously, and is relaxed and unguarded - much like 28-year-old royal himself.
She also seems unfazed by the massive amount of media attention that comes with dating a member of the Royal Family and is said to have invited Harry to the forth-coming wedding of her half-sister in South Africa.
According to friends, Harry is so "smitten" with Bonas that he is planning give up his Kensington Palace bachelor pad and moving into nearby Nottingham Cottage.
Harry wants to give the cottage a lick of paint and a "warm, welcoming homely" feel with comfy furniture to help prove that he is past his "wild" days. (ANI)
