This textbook provides an excellent focus on the advanced topics of
the power system protection philosophy and gives exciting analysis
methods and a cover of the important applications in the power
systems relaying. Each chapter opens with a historical profile or
career talk, followed by an introduction that states the chapter
objectives and links the chapter to the previous ones, and then the
introduction for each chapter. All principles are presented in a
lucid, logical, step-by-step approach. As much as possible, the
authors avoid wordiness and detail overload that could hide
concepts and impede understanding. In each chapter, the authors
present some of the solved examples and applications using a
computer program. Toward the end of each chapter, the authors
discuss some application aspects of the concepts covered in the
chapter using a computer program. In recognition of requirements by
the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) on
integrating computer tools, the use of SCADA technology is
encouraged in a student-friendly manner. SCADA technology using the
LUCAS-NÃœLLE GmbH system is introduced and applied gradually
throughout the book. Practice problems immediately following each
illustrative example. Students can follow the example step by step
to solve the practice problems without flipping pages or looking at
the book's end for answers. These practice problems test students'
comprehension and reinforce key concepts before moving on to the
next section. The book is intended as a textbook for a senior-level
undergraduate student in electrical and computer engineering
departments and is appropriate for Graduate Students, Industry
Professionals, Researchers, and Academics. The book has more than
ten categories and millions of power readers. It can be used in
more than 400 electrical engineering departments at top
universities worldwide. Based on this information, targeted lists
of the Engineers from which specific disciplines -Electrical,
Computer, Power Control, Technical power system, Protection,
Design, and Distribution engineers. Designed for a three–hours
semester course on Power System Protection and Relaying is intended
as a textbook for a graduate, senior-level undergraduate student in
electrical and computer engineering. The prerequisites for a course
based on this book are knowledge of standard mathematics, including
calculus and complex numbers.
In this age of high fuel prices and concern with continuing
availability of oil, scientists are working on a number of
approaches to alternate fuel sources. These concerns may provoke
interest in how some people in gas-starved Europe dealt with such
problems throughout the war years, 1939-1945. One of the most
successful innovations, were the so-called gas producer vehicles
that utilized the by-products of solid fuel combustion, employing
such solids as coal, charcoal, turf, and wood to produce fuel gas
for a standard internal combustion engine. This book provides an
overview of such vehicles, including those used by the Wehrmacht.
Schematics of operating systems and the regulations concerning
their use are also included, along with a translated German
illustratedoperators manual.
First published in 1972, this book examines the sonnet, one of the
most complex yet accessible of verse forms. It traces its history,
concentrating primarily on its technical development, and fully
explains the differences between the Italian and English sonnet.
The study looks at several different kinds of sonnet, including
condensed and expanded sonnets, inverted and tailed sonnets and
irregularities of metre and rhyme, and concludes with a survey of
the sonnet sequence. This book will be useful to students of
prosody and English poetry as well as those concerned with the
practice of verse.
This book views peacemaking as a broad, encompassing process that
is expressed in many different shapes and forms. It blends
ancient-wisdom traditions, peacemaking criminology, and restorative
justice principles as a way of intervening with offenders in both
institutional and community-based settings. Philosophical and
spiritual contexts for peacemaking are presented that form a
foundation for understanding the potential for peacemaking in
criminological thought, the criminal justice system, and society in
general.
Software "style" is about finding the perfect balance between
overhead and functionality... elegance and maintainability...
flexibility and excess. In "Exceptional C++ Style," legendary C++
guru Herb Sutter presents 40 new programming scenarios designed to
analyze not only the what but the why and help you find just the
right balance in your software. Organized around practical problems
and solutions, this book offers new insight into crucial C++
details and interrelationships, and new strategies for today's key
C++ programming techniques--including generic programming, STL,
exception safety, and more. You'll find answers to questions like:
What can you learn about library design from the STL itself?How do
you avoid making templated code needlessly non-generic?Why
shouldn't you specialize function templates? What should you do
instead? How does exception safety go beyond try and catch
statements?Should you use exception specifications, or not? When
and how should you "leak" the private parts of a class?How do you
make classes safer for versioning? What's the real memory cost of
using standard containers?How can using const really optimize your
code?How does writing inline affect performance? When does code
that looks wrong actually compile and run perfectly, and why should
you care?What's wrong with the design of std:: string? "Exceptional
C++ Style" will help you design, architect, and code with
style--and achieve greater robustness and performance in all your
C++ software.

Making Sense of Design Effective design is at the heart of
everything from software development to engineering to
architecture. But what do we really know about the design process?
What leads to effective, elegant designs? The Design of Design
addresses these questions. These new essays by Fred Brooks contain
extraordinary insights for designers in every discipline. Brooks
pinpoints constants inherent in all design projects and uncovers
processes and patterns likely to lead to excellence. Drawing on
conversations with dozens of exceptional designers, as well as his
own experiences in several design domains, Brooks observes that
bold design decisions lead to better outcomes. The author tracks
the evolution of the design process, treats collaborative and
distributed design, and illuminates what makes a truly great
designer. He examines the nuts and bolts of design processes,
including budget constraints of many kinds, aesthetics, design
empiricism, and tools, and grounds this discussion in his own
real-world examples-case studies ranging from home construction to
IBM's Operating System/360. Throughout, Brooks reveals keys to
success that every designer, design project manager, and design
researcher should know.
Nowt stops for cricket in Yorkshire. Passion runs deep, beyond
those in whites, to the groundsmen, tea ladies, scorers and umpires
who embody the game. All Wickets Great and Small is a romp across
the landscape of amateur cricket in Yorkshire during the summer of
2015. Author John Fuller looks at the key issues affecting the
grassroots game: the struggles to attract players, funding
shortages, natural disasters and the social dynamics that can
threaten a captain's eleven on a Saturday. What shape is the
grassroots game in and can it still survive and thrive? From vicars
and imams socking sixes in Dewsbury to heritage clubs hitting
social media out of the park, this is the story of
sleeves-rolled-up cricket at its best in the county that locals
call 'God's own'.

In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet
of the past. By their choice of poems and by the personal and
critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors
offer insights into their own work as well as providing an
accessible and passionate introduction to some of the greatest
poets of our literature. Alexander Pope (1688-1744) was an
essayist, critic, satirist, poet and translator. He published "An
Essay on Criticism" in 1711 and a republished version of "The Rape
of the Lock" in 1714. His "Collected Works" were published in 1717
and he translated the "Iliad and the Odyssey" into English. "The
Dunciad" (1728), one of his most famous works, was a vicious satire
on Dullness featuring many of his contemporaries.
