Post-apocalyptic Vision of Russia (Based on Modern Russian Distopia) The following article focuses the new genre antiutopia which appeared after collapse USSR. Not only do we consider as literary but attitude toward reality and style thinking well. (like Kysh by Tatyana Tolstoy) does not warn us against communism together with its concentration camps, tortures utopian ideas… It shows what can h...

An overview of the latest techniques on computer graphics to model realistic water and fire is given. These fluid models are based on a simplification of the Navier-Stokes equations. Some of the most important applications represent real life problems solving as water flood, real fire situation, firemen training and others. Regarding water modeling, there are compared the different approaches, ...

In this paper we present how to use an Unmanned Aerial System in remote sensing. The system is specifically designed for forest fire management, as a support tool for the Fire Services to improve their tactical decisions. The system payload includes two cameras: a thermal camera and a visual camera. A simple image processing algorithm is applied to the thermal images in order to detect hot area...

To improve the efficiency of forest fire fighting, ride comfort is very important for firemen to maintain good physical condition. Firstly, a whole vehicle model was established with the ADAMS/view(Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) software. Next, test and simulation were performed to verify the three-dimensional model. Finally, the comparison of real vehicle test and ride comfo...

Amidst social changes in gendered language use, there is pushback from institutions such as the Spanish Royal Academy, which claims that use of generic masculine (e.g., bomberos ‘firemen’) describing a mixed-gender group equally inclusive both men and women (Bosque 2012). By contrast, speakers have increasingly adopted gender-inclusive alternatives to o bomberas; Bengoechea 2015). Across two be...

The nature of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) makes them suitable to be utilized in the context of an extreme emergency for all involved rescue teams. We use the term emergency MANETs (eMANETs) in order to describe next generation IP-based networks, which are deployed in emergency cases such as forest fires and terrorist attacks. The main goal within the realm of eMANETs is to provide emergency...

In a firefighter emergency mission it is essential for the members of a fire brigade to get an intelligent and reliable overview of the complete situation, presented according to the role of each member. In this paper we report on the design and development of a system to support a fire brigade on site with a set of mobile services that offers a role-based focus+context user interface. It provi...

During crisis situations, emergency services have to make a lot of crucial decisions, sometimes inevitably based on incomplete or outdated information caused by a lack of means of communication. Wireless ad hoc and mesh networks are a good solution for setting up emergency networks, as they do not rely on fixed infrastructure, can be set up quickly, and provide the necessary communication bandw...
