RESILIENCY OF POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS A revolutionary book covering the relevant concepts for resiliency-focused advancements of the distribution power grid…
Most resiliency and security guidelines for the power industry are focused on power transmission systems. As renewable energy and energy storage increasingly replace fossil-fuel-based power generation over the coming years, geospatially neighboring distributed energy resources will supply a majority of consumers and provide clean power through long transmission lines. These electric power distribution systems—the final stage in the delivery of electric power—carry electricity from the transmission system to individual consumers. New distributed devices will be essential to the grid to manage this variable power generation and enhance reliability and resilience while keeping electricity affordable as the world seeks solutions to climate change and threats from extreme events. In Resiliency of Power Distribution Systems, readers are provided with the tools to understand and enhance resiliency of distribution systems—and thereby, the entire power grid. In a shift from the present design and operation of the power system, the book is focused on improving the grid’s ability to predict, adapt, and respond to all hazards and threats. This, then, acts as a guide to ensure that any incident can be mitigated and responded to promptly and adequately. It also highlights the most advanced and applicable methodologies and architecture frameworks that evaluate degradation, advance proactive action, and transform system behavior to maintain normal operation, under extreme operating conditions. Resiliency of Power Distribution Systems readers will also find: Chapter organization that facilitates quick review of distribution fundamental and easy-but-thorough understanding of the importance of resiliency Real-world case studies where resilient power systems could have prevented massive financial and energy losses Frameworks to help mitigate cyber-physical attacks, strategize response on multiple timescales, and optimize operational efficiencies and priorities for the power grid Resiliency of Power Distribution Systems is a valuable reference for power system professionals including electrical engineers, utility operators, distribution system planners and engineers, and manufacturers, as well as members of the research community, energy market experts and policy makers, and graduate students on electrical engineering courses.Organic Nanochemistry: From Fundamental Concepts to Experimental Practice

Par Han C.G. Kemper. 2016
Wat is nu precies de invloed van bewegen en sport op de gezondheid en fitheid van jongeren? Dit boek geeft…
actuele, wetenschappelijke informatie over fysiologische aspecten van groei, ontwikkeling en rijping van jongeren. Daarmee biedt het inzicht in de effecten van lichaamsbeweging op hun gezondheid. Fysiologische en anatomische verschillen tussen opgroeiende jongeren, jongens en meisjes worden op een heldere wijze uitgelegd. Waarom bijvoorbeeld hebben verschillen in proporties van kinderen (met kortere armen, benen en groter hoofd) invloed op het lichamelijke prestatievermogen? Tegelijk wordt afgerekend met een aantal vooroordelen. Zo groeien pubers niet uit hun krachten en leveren fysiek vroegrijpe kinderen niet de grootste sporttalenten op.De auteur behandelt niet alleen alledaagse activiteiten als fietsen, wandelen en traplopen, maar ook het sporten op school en in de vrije tijd. Alle vormen van lichaamsbeweging worden uitvoerig en kritisch besproken. Hoe kun je het activiteitenpatroon van jongeren beïnvloeden? Zowel objectieve beweegmonitoren en hartslagentellers als hippe beweeggadgets worden op waarde geschat. Ook de ethische kanten van (top)sportbeoefening door kinderen en talent scouting bij jongeren worden voor het voetlicht gebracht. De auteur sluit af met een pleidooi voor een ¿beweegvriendelijke¿ woon- en leefomgeving met veilige voet- en fietspaden. Een integrale aanpak van de bewegingsarmoede bij jongeren kan de nadelige invloed van te weinig lichaamsbeweging op de gezondheid voorkomen.Fitte kinderen, sportieve tieners is bestemd voor iedereen die beroepsmatig geïnteresseerd is in het bewegen van jongeren. Daaronder vallen kinder-, school- en jeugdartsen, fysiologen, fysiotherapeuten, vakleerkrachten bewegen en sport en sporttrainers, maar ook psychologen, pedagogen en ouders of verzorgers.China 1949–2019: Von der Armut zur Weltmacht

"Haunting, exhilarating, and a howl of vengeance." —Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of Hell Followed With UsFrankenstein…
meets Inglourious Basterds in this stunning Jewish historical horror novel from the award-winning author of The City BeautifulVera was made for vengeance.Lithuania, 1943. A father drowns in the all-consuming grief of a daughter killed by the Nazis. He can&’t bring Chaya back from the dead, but he can use kishuf — an ancient and profane magic — to create a golem in her image. A Nazi killer, to avenge her death.When Vera awakens, she can feel her violent purpose thrumming within her. But she can also feel glimpses of a human life lived, of stolen kisses amidst the tragedy, and of a grisly death. And when she meets Akiva, she recognizes the boy with soft lips that gave warm kisses. But these memories aren&’t hers, and Vera doesn&’t know if she gets—or deserves—to have a life beyond what she was made for.Vera&’s strength feels limitless—until she learns that there are others who would channel kishuf for means far less noble than avenging a daughter&’s death. As she confronts the very basest of humanity, Vera will need more than what her creator gave her: Not just a reason to fight, but a reason to live.Although the Bible is the foundation of American poetic tradition, there is no study of the Bible as an ongoing…
force in American poetry. Not only a source of imagery, allusion, rhythm and style, the Bible is central to how poetry has both shaped and been shaped by American civic, political, and social history, including issues of ethnicity, race and gender. Through poetry core issues of the Bible in American culture emerge in a new light. What defines America as a nation? What are its historical, political and religious meanings and direction? Vitally, how is it that the Bible is at once a shared common text, binding community, and yet was throughout American culture also contested, disputed, and politicized as a weapon of war? This study begins with the Puritans, and goes on to examine poetry of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, as well as claims and counterclaims in abolition, slavery, and women’s rights. In doing so it treats both popular and major writers, including Edward Taylor, Frances Harper, Emerson, Whitman, Dickinson, Moore and Gwendoln Brooks, concluding with Amanda Gorman.Innoveren in houdbare zorg is topsport
