Real-life aircraft evacuation drills can cost up to 2 million USD and may not at the same time be able to represent a real emergency scenario. with the use of evacuation models as a complement to the testing may reduce this cost. The aim of this thesis is to test the capabilities and limitation of two continuous evacuation models, namely Pathfinder and FDS + Evac in representing aircraft evacuatio

Our hypothesis was that retrieval practice of features incongruent to a stereotype would cause memory

In living organisms, respiration is a biological process degrading different carbon substrates, consuming O2, and releasing the carbon as CO2. Plants have several alternative enzymes that are involved in the respiratory processes, as compared to animals. These alternative respiratory enzymes allow electrons to be transferred to oxygen in the mitochondrial inner membrane, but bypassing ATP synthesiIn living organisms, respiration is a biological process degrading different carbon substrates, consuming O2, and releasing the carbon as CO2.
