This book considers the theory of linear electrical circuits in steady regimes and transients as well as common problems of synthesis of linear electrical circuits, the theory of electrical linear circuits with distributed parameters and the calculation of nonlinear electrical and magnetic circuits. It has been prepared for undergraduate students, bachelors, masters and postgraduates at this important stage of developing techniques and technologies.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

In dem Buch stellen die Autoren das Thema Silikon-Verbundisolatoren umfassend dar. Sie beschreiben die mechanischen und elektrotechnischen Grundlagen, berücksichtigen neueste Entwicklungen und gehen auf alle wesentlichen Aspekte ein: von der Auswahl der Werkstoffe über die Dimensionierung bis zur Anwendung in Hochspannungsnetzen. Die Autoren sind Pioniere auf dem Gebiet der Verbundisolatoren und legen höchsten Wert auf die Praxisrelevanz ihres Wissens. So eignet sich der Band als Einführung in das Thema ebenso wie als Nachschlagewerk für die Praxis.

This is a thoroughly revised and expanded third edition of a successful university textbook that provides a broad introduction to key areas of stochastic modelling. The original text was developed from lecture notes for a one-semester course for third-year science and actuarial students at the University of Melbourne.This book reviews the basics of probability theory and presents topics on Markov chains, Markov decision processes, jump Markov processes, elements of queueing theory, basic renewal theory, elements of time series and simulation. It also features elements of stochastic calculus and introductory mathematical finance. Thus enhancing the book's suitability for a larger variety of university courses presenting the fundamentals of modern stochastic modelling.To make the text covering a lot of material more appealing and accessible to the reader, instead of rigorous proofs we often give only sketches of the arguments, with indications as to why a particular result holds and also how it is related to other results, and illustrate them by examples. It is in this aspect that the present, third edition differs from the second one: the included background material and argument sketches have been extended, made more graphical and informative. The whole text was reviewed and streamlined wherever possible for it to be more attractive and useful for readers. Wherever possible, the book includes references to more specialised texts on respective topics that contain both proofs and more advanced material.

This book is a general introduction to the statistical analysis of networks, and can serve both as a research monograph and as a textbook. Numerous fundamental tools and concepts needed for the analysis of networks are presented, such as network modeling, community detection, graph-based semi-supervised learning and sampling in networks. The description of these concepts is self-contained, with both theoretical justifications and applications provided for the presented algorithms.Researchers, including postgraduate students, working in the area of network science, complex network analysis, or social network analysis, will find up-to-date statistical methods relevant to their research tasks. This book can also serve as textbook material for courses related to thestatistical approach to the analysis of complex networks.In general, the chapters are fairly independent and self-supporting, and the book could be used for course composition "a la carte". Nevertheless, Chapter 2 is needed to a certain degree for all parts of the book. It is also recommended to read Chapter 4 before reading Chapters 5 and 6, but this is not absolutely necessary. Reading Chapter 3 can also be helpful before reading Chapters 5 and 7. As prerequisites for reading this book, a basic knowledge in probability, linear algebra and elementary notions of graph theory is advised. Appendices describing required notions from the above mentioned disciplines have been added to help readers gain further understanding.
