Manual calculations are still extensively used and in particular
are necessary for checking and verifying various software
calculation design packages. It is highly recommended that users of
such software familiarise themselves with the rudiments of these
calculations prior to using the software packages.
This essential book fills the gap between software and manual
calculations. It provides the reader with all the necessary tools
to enable accurate calculations of circuit designs. Rather than
complex equations, this book uses extensive worked examples to make
understanding the calculations simpler. The focus on worked
examples furnishes the reader with the knowledge to carry out the
necessary checks to electrical cable sizing software
programmes.
Other key features include: Updated information on 230 volt
references and voltage drop under normal load conditions New
sections on buried cables that take into account soil thermal
conductivity, trenches and grouping, allowing readers to carry out
accurate cables sizing Information and examples of steel wired
armour cables, new to this edition. This includes sufficiency
during short circuits and, for cables with externally run CPCs,
gives unique fault conditions. Covers calculations of
cross-sectional areas of circuit live conductors Earth fault loop
impedances Protective conductor cross-sectional areas and short
circuit conditions Short circuit protection.
The last chapter combines all of the calculations of the
previous chapters to enable the reader to complete an accurate
design of an installation circuit under all conditions.
A unique tool for detailed electrical installation trade,
"Electrical Installation Calculations, Fourth Edition" is
invaluable to electricians, electrical designers, installers,
technicians, contractors, and plant engineers. Senior electrical
engineering students and technical colleges, junior engineers, and
contracts managers will also find this text useful.
The Natchez Trace is remarkable in American history for the legends
and tales surrounding it. During the first half of the nineteenth
century, travelers--traders, settlers, and the occasional war party
or fugitive from justice--followed its course from the Appalachians
to the lower Mississippi, from Knoxville to Natchez.
In this vibrant and energetic account, the author has mined both
history and legend for startling tales of the near-mythical
thieves, cutthroats, and confidence men once reported to have
stalked their unsuspecting victims along this frontier trail--the
terrible Harpe brothers, who came to a satisfactorily bad end;
Samuel Mason, a thief done in by other thieves; and John Murrell,
whose reputed schemes threw the South into a paroxysm of fear.
Robert M. Coates retells the stories of these and other "land
pirates" in chilling and ominous detail, preserving for us the
tales once whispered on the edges of the dark southern woods nearly
two centuries ago.

Studies of the radical environmental politics of the 1960s have
tended to downplay the extent to which much of that countercultural
intellectual and social ferment continued into the 1970s and 1980s.
Canadian Countercultures and the Environment adds to our knowledge
of this understudied period. This collection contributes a
sustained analysis of the beginning of major environmental debates
in this era and examines a range of issues related to broad
environmental concerns, topics which emerged as key concerns in the
context of Cold War military investments and experiments, the oil
crisis of the 1970s, debates over gendered roles, and the
increasing attention to urban pollution and pesticide use. No other
publication dealing with this period covers the wide range of
environmental topics (among others, activism, midwifery, organic
farming, recycling, urban cycling, and communal living) or
geographic locales, from Yukon to Atlantic Canada. Together, they
demonstrate how this period influenced and informed environmental
action and issues in ways that have had a long-term impact on
Canadian society.
This is a new release of the original 1930 edition.
This thesis investigates security mechanisms for utility control
and protection networks using IP-based protocol interaction. It
proposes flexible, cost-effective solutions in strategic locations
to protect transitioning legacy and full IP-standards
architectures. It also demonstrates how operational signatures can
be defined to enact organizationally-unique standard operating
procedures for zero failure in environments with varying levels of
uncertainty and trust. The research evaluates layering encryption,
authentication, traffic filtering, content checks, and event
correlation mechanisms over time-critical primary and backup
control/protection signaling to prevent disruption by internal and
external malicious activity or errors.
1930. Robert Coates studies the outlaws who preyed on traffic along
the Natchez Trace from Natchez all the way to New Orleans from
about 1880 to 1885. Among other violent and lawless acts, they
planned to build an empire using the labor of stolen slaves. They
stole and pillaged to the extent that this period is sometimes
referred to as the outlaw years, as bands of land pirates roamed
the country in search of riches.

Intended to delight and provoke, these short, beautifully crafted
essays, enlivened with photos and illustrations, explore how humans
have engaged with the Canadian environment and what those
interactions say about the nature of Canada. Tracing a path from
the Ice Age to the Anthropocene, some of the foremost stars in the
field of environmental history reflect on how we, as a nation, have
idolized and found inspiration in nature even as fishers, fur
traders, farmers, foresters, miners, and city planners have
commodified it or tried to tame it. Their insights are just what we
need as Canada attempts to reconcile the opposing goals of
prosperity and preservation.
"Heroines and History" is a comparative study of the images of
Laura Secord and Madeleine de Vercheres, symbols respectively of
the nationalism of English-Canadian and French-Canadian loyalism
and national identity. The authors explore the relations of gender,
race/ethnicity, and imperialism in defining national identity and
shaping the past by looking at such things as the role of local
historical societies, the formation of narratives of Loyalism and
the War of 1812 in school texts, the use of historical figures in
the services of twentieth-century consumer capitalism (e.g. the
Secord chocolate company), and the development of tourism.
This is a fascinating comparison of the histories of Ontario and
Quebec as seen through the handling of their best-known heroines.
The story of Laura Secord and her cow bravely crossing the American
lines to warn the British during the War of 1812 is well known in
Ontario; most of us also grew up with the legend of Madeleine de
Vercheres defending Montreal against the Iroquois in 1692. Although
both tales are dubious, the authors show how the images of these
heroines were used for nationalistic purposes in both provinces,
and how their images changed down through the ages.
"Heroines and History" is a unique work, one which makes a
significant contribution to the growing body of literature on
commemoration, as well as to the literatures of gender, cultural,
and aboriginal studies. It is accessible both to an audience of
specialist academic readers and to a wider readership of those
interested in Canadian history and society.
