چکیده
ways is likely to vary from one country to another, from one period to another, and with the size of the areas over which inequality is measured. But regardless of the pathway, the relation between income inequality and population health suggests that reducing health inequalities need not conflict with the desire to raise health standards throughout society. Instead of redistributing a given amount of health or health producing goods in a zero sum game, we can be confident that increased wellbeing among the least well off need not be matched by losses among the rich.

Spatial Layout Planning in Sub-Surface Rail Station Design for Effective Fire Evacuation
INTRODUCTION Underground stations can broadly be divided into two methods of construction: cut and cover (i.e. excavating a trench and recovering) and tunnelling. The station layout is mostly comprised of the areas that are common to all stations and their spatial planning must be set out with a thorough understanding of passenger circulation patterns. The station components, namely the ticket ...
متن کاملSimulation of Metro Train Fire in an Underground Station of Tehran Metro Line 7
In this research a fire scenario was simulated in one of the stations of the line 7 of Tehran's subway system. The Line 7 is under construction and the ventilation system is under design. Fire was set for a stopping metro train at the platform of the station. A 160 meter length eight-car metro train with the forth wagon on the fire was studied. The heat release rate is based on a quadratic f...
متن کاملModelling Evacuation using Escalators: a London Underground Dataset
This paper presents a brief analysis of an escalator human factors dataset collected in a London Underground (subway) station in England. The data analysis highlights and quantifies a variety of escalator human factors. Using the buildingEXODUS evacuation software, a series of evacuation scenarios of a hypothetical underground station are then presented. The simulation results demonstrate that ...
