Power Systems Handbook - Four Volume Set

Power Systems Handbook - Four Volume Set

This handbook on power systems consists of a set of 4 volumes. These books are carefully planned and designed to provide the state of art material on major aspects of electrical power systems short-circuit currents load flow harmonics and protective relaying. Many aspects of power systems are transparent between different types of studies and analyses; knowledge of short-circuit currents and symmetrical component is required for protective relaying and fundamental frequency load flow is required for harmonic analysis. Currently power systems large or small are analyzed on digital computers with appropriate software. However it is necessary to understand the theory and basis of these calculations to debug and decipher the results. The material is organized with sound theoretical base practical applications and case studies based on the author’s 45+ years of experience with real world problems. | Power Systems Handbook - Four Volume Set

Paracoccidioidomycosis

Paracoccidioidomycosis

Paracoccidioidomycosis continues to be a serious health problem among rural workers in many Latin American countries. This deep mycosis has many similarities to other deep mycoses that affect the developed world. Furthermore P. brasiliensis is becoming an excellent tool for basic studies (e. g. dimorphism hormone-mediated host interactions ecology). Paracoccidioidomycosis is an important publication with 30 chapters covering every aspect of the disease from its etiological agent P. brasiliensis to the clinical manifestations and treatment. The chapters are written by 45 specialists each one a leading figure in his or her area of research. This reference is the first of its kind to be written in English. The book is a valuable addition to the reference collections of basic researchers and applied mycologists as well as clinicians and others working with infectious and tropical diseases. It can also be used for courses on medical mycology.

Liver Metabolism and Fatty Liver Disease

Liver Metabolism and Fatty Liver Disease

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most common liver diseases worldwide affecting patients from all ages races and ethnic backgrounds. It comprises a spectrum of hepatic pathology ranging from simple steatosis in which there is an increase of fat accumulation in hepatocytes to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. The significant prevalence of this disease—between 15 and 45 percent of the general population—means that it contributes to an increased burden of ill health both today and in the future. Liver Metabolism and Fatty Liver Disease addresses the current understanding of the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as well as the clinical aspects of the disease by examining the current knowledge surrounding metabolism in the liver. The book discusses various topics including the involvement of oxidative stress metabolic effects and inflammation as well as the effect of nutrition on the development and progression of the disease.

Amaranth Biology Chemistry and Technology

Amaranth Biology Chemistry and Technology

This book is devoted to amaranth a plant to which 45 species are indigenous to the Mesoamerican region and 10 others originated in Africa Asia and Europe. Amaranth was the foundation of the extensive North and South American ancient civilizations and is still important in the agriculture of more recent Indian cultures. However this plant nearly disappeared after the Spanish conquest. In view of the outstanding agronomic performance of the plant and the high nutritional value of the grain it is now becoming an important crop in various regions of the world. Progress in the utilization of amaranth is directly related to scientific and technical information on its biological physical and chemical properties. Amaranth: Biology Chemistry and Technology begins with a chapter on the use of tissue culture molecular biology and genetic engineering techniques for crop improvement. The next few chapters deal with classical genetics traditional plant breeding and plant physiology. Following chapters review the properties of storage and leaf proteins carbohydrates (especially starch) and seed oil. The potential of amaranth for new food products and popping is discussed and commercialization and marketing of amaranth and its products are described. The book also emphasizes the outstanding nutritional properties of amaranth. | Amaranth Biology Chemistry and Technology

Structure of the Polymer Amorphous State

Structure of the Polymer Amorphous State

The basic problem of polymer physics is obtaining ˜structure-properties™ correlations for their future application for practical purposes. However these cannot be obtained without the development of a quantitative model of the polymer structure. This problem has been actively investigated during the last 45 years which resulted in obtaining a great amount of experimental (mostly indirect) proofs of existence of the local order in the polymer amorphous state. Now the time has come for creating a structural model of polymer basing based on the local order ideas. The cluster model as presented in this monograph of the polymer amorphous state structure represents the realization of such attempts. The development of this cluster model is based on well-known experimental observation: the behavior of glassy polymers in the area of stimulated high-elasticity plateau is described in the framework of rubber elasticity concepts. This gives an opportunity to present the local order (cluster) zone as a multifunctional entanglement of the physical network consisting of several collinear closely packed segments of different macromolecules (the amorphous analogue of crystallite with extended chains) and surrounded by a packless matrix. An independent method for assessing local order zone fraction in the structure has been elaborated. Segment length in the cluster equals the length of the chain statistical segment that gives a correlation between molecular and structural parameters of the polymer. Application of the cluster model allowed description and obtaining of analytical ˜structure-properties™ correlations for many processes proceeding in polymers: elasticity yielding degradation transport some thermodynamic processes structural relaxation plasticization structural stabilization at thermo-oxidative degradation etc. The relation between the cluster model and some modern physical concepts for instance fractal analysis fluctuation free volume kinetic | Structure of the Polymer Amorphous State

High-Power Piezoelectrics and Loss Mechanisms

High-Power Piezoelectrics and Loss Mechanisms

As one of the pioneers of Piezoelectric Actuators I have contributed to the commercialization of various products for over 45 years including million-selling devices micro-ultrasonic motors for smart-phone camera modules by Samsung Electromechanics piezoelectric transformers for backlight inverters by Apple laptops multilayer PZT actuators for diesel injection valves by Denso Corporation and piezoelectric energy harvesting modules for Programable Air-Burst Munition by the US Army. During the development period for piezoelectric actuators and transformers I found that the bottleneck for device miniaturization was heat generation under a high-power drive condition. Thus in parallel to the piezo-actuator developments I have been developing various high-power density piezo-ceramic materials with the loss mechanism clarification. Hence I considered that it was time to organize a textbook based on the previous studies including my materials development philosophy to stimulate younger generations to reach to the energy density of up to 100 W/cm3 in the future. Increasing efficiency and saving energy and space (compactness) are one of the important approaches in this 21st-century sustainable society. High-Power Piezoelectrics and Loss Mechanisims introduces the theoretical background of piezoelectrics electromechanical phenomenology loss mechanisms practical materials device designs drive and characterization techniques and typical applications and looks forward to the future perspectives in this field. This book is NOT an overall review of this area but it focuses on important and basic ideas under my development philosophy to understand how to design and develop high-power piezoelectric materials and devices. This textbook is designed for self-learning by the reader aided by the availability of: • Chapter Essentials – Summary for quick memory recovery • Check Points – Answers are provided in the Appendix • Example Problems – To enhance the reader’s understanding with full detailed solutions • Chapter Problems – For the final exam or further consideration | High-Power Piezoelectrics and Loss Mechanisms
