This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
Bushings for Power Transformers, A Guide for Power Engineers There
are number of good books on power transformers available in the
marketplace and they go into much detail on the theories, designs,
construction, components and testing of power transformers.
However, they only devote one short chapter to bushings. Bushings
are the most important component on your power transformer and one
that is maybe least understood. This book will provide the Utility
Power Engineer as well as the Utility Technician with a Handbook
that will fast become the main reference tool when a bushing issue
arises. For the Power Engineer who specifies new power
transformers, it will become the go to handbook that will help them
to avoid costly mistakes when specifying the bushings in their
power transformer specification. This book will review the history
of bushings for power transformers and will review the industry
standards that apply to bushings. The book covers the different
technologies used in bushing construction and will examine the
techniques used in the selection of bushings for power
transformers. It provides the basic information on bushing tests
and how they relate to the power transformers. There is a chapter
on maintenance and a guide for replacing bushings. The last chapter
deals with a topic that occurs all too often, power transformer
failures. This book provides a guide for investigating a power
transformer failure when the bushing is suspect. The first hours
after a failure is the most critical time help understand what
caused the failure. This chapter will help the Utility reach the
root cause of the event and hopefully prevent future failures.
Every Power Engineer and Power Technician needs Bushings for Power
Transformers in their bag of tools as they deal with their power
transformers.
This book develops new science of gravity and light based on the
century-old Le Sage theory of an "ether" that was replaced by
Einstein's Theory of Relativity. After presenting astronomical data
contradicting the theory that the universe is expanding from a Big
Bang, experiments believed to prove Relativity are shown to
actually prove the ether theory instead. Freedom from the speed
limit of light enables a science of subatomic particles traveling
faster than light to produce gravity, electric and magnetic fields,
light, and radio waves. Major technical innovations include solving
the two fundamental problems with the Le Sage gravity theory and
extending this theory to electromagnetism and consciousness. This
is a "theory of everything" that explains the heretofore-unknown
causes of the forces of nature. This book builds on the works of
Zecharia Sitchin and other authors to explain how life developed on
Earth and that evolution requires direction from intelligence that
dwells in the subatomic particles on which this theory of gravity
and light is based. Our biblical God is shown to be a composite of
Sitchin's extraterrestrial "gods" who colonized Earth and the
intelligence that dwells alongside our own mind in the particles
from which the universe is constructed and powered.
This book offers a timely snapshot and extensive practical and
theoretical insights into the topic of learning from data. Based on
the tutorials presented at the INNS Big Data and Deep Learning
Conference, INNSBDDL2019, held on April 16-18, 2019, in Sestri
Levante, Italy, the respective chapters cover advanced neural
networks, deep architectures, and supervised and reinforcement
machine learning models. They describe important theoretical
concepts, presenting in detail all the necessary mathematical
formalizations, and offer essential guidance on their use in
current big data research.
The more integrated technology becomes in our everyday lives and
businesses, the more vital it grows that its applications are
utilised in an ethical and appropriate way. Ethical Governance of
Emerging Technologies Development combines multiple perspectives on
ethical backgrounds, theories, and management approaches when
implementing new technologies into an environment. Understanding
the ethical implications associated with utilising new advancements
in technology is useful for professionals, researchers, and
graduate students interested in this growing area of research.

Ernie Tolin had wanted to go to the US Naval Academy. He would not
be able to realize that dream. He would pursue a second dream of
working with aircraft and being able to work on the National
Forest. He gave up a full time job to pursue this dream and would
spend the majority or his life working for the US Forest Service.
His first assignment was the "Air Attack Unit" at Chino airport. He
would be reassigned to an aerial reseeding project on the San Dimas
Experimental Forest. He would continue working on research projects
and would receive a permanent appointment and work for the "Fuel
Break Project." Ernie would eventually get transferred to the new
Forest Fire Laboratory in Riverside California. Helicopter
projects, fire fighting, re vegetation and vegetation survey work
would keep Ernie busy for a couple of years. Working at the Fire
Lab would require analysis of large volumes of data. The only way
to do the analysis was to use hand calculators or learn how to use
mainframe computers. Ernie became a computer programmer and began
writing programs to analyze not only field data but use the
technology to dispatch fire equipment and make maps of fuel types
for fire simulations. Ernie would be reassigned to Washington DC to
work on automated mapping systems. Soon, he would be heading up a
technical group of computer specialist. He would help develop
specifications for major computer purchases. By the late 1970's
Ernie would head up a group of specialist to analyze data for the
Roadless Area Review (RARE II). Ernie would be named as the
Director of Computer Science in the California Pacific Island
Region and he would move to the San Francisco Bay area. Ernie
continued working as the Director of Computer Science &
Telecommunications Staff until his retirement.
This book is concerned with the steady state hydraulics of natural
gas and other compressible fluids being transported through
pipelines. Our main approach is to determine the flow rate possible
and compressor station horsepower required within the limitations
of pipe strength, based on the pipe materials and grade. It
addresses the scenarios where one or more compressors may be
required depending on the gas flow rate and if discharge cooling is
needed to limit the gas temperatures. The book is the result of
over 38 years of the authors' experience on pipelines in North and
South America while working for major energy companies such as
ARCO, El Paso Energy, etc.
Studies in Human Capital, the first volume of Jacob Mincer's essays
to be published in this series, assesses the impact of education
and job training on wage growth. It offers an authoritative study
of the effects of human capital investments on labor turnover and
the impact of technological change on human capital formation.Jacob
Mincer's research reveals a rare combination of imaginative
empirical analysis guided by a command of theory. His work and
professional style have set the standard for empirical economics,
especially in the field of labor economics where he has made major
contributions to the understanding of the determinants of earnings.
This is the first of two volumes containing carefully edited
selections of professor Mincer's most important essays, some of
which are published here for the first time. Introductions to each
volume provide overviews of the interconnections of the topics
discussed, their conceptual coherence and empirical significance.
Studies in Labor Supply, the second volume of Professor Mincer's
essays, is also available as part of this series.
