Fault Current Limiters: Concepts and Applications (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Hassan Haes Alhelou Mohammad Reza Barzegar-Bafrooei Jamal Dehghani-Ashkezari Asghar Akbari ForoudThis book presents a comprehensive survey of fault current limiters (FCLs) and their applications in power system to cope with the fault current. The book reviews characteristics, technologies, topologies, working principles, applications, and the interaction of FCLs with the power system. In the attempts to develop FCL with close to ideal attributes, academic researchers and companies offer the different configurations that are mostly classified into non-superconducting fault current limiters and superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs). Both categories are included in this book, and therefore, it can serve as an excellent stepping-stone for senior and/or graduate students who are interested in knowing the reason of the increase in short circuit level in the power system, fault current limitation measures, benefits and drawbacks of the application of FCLs in power systems, the state-of-the-art of fault current limitation techniques, as well as recent advances in this area.

by Elias G. Strangas Guy Clerc Hubert Razik Abdenour SoualhiFault Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Reliability for Electrical Machines and Drives An insightful treatment of present and emerging technologies in fault diagnosis and failure prognosis In Fault Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Reliability for Electrical Machines and Drives, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive exploration of current and emerging approaches to fault diagnosis and failure prognosis of electrical machines and drives. The authors begin with foundational background, describing the physics of failure, the motor and drive designs and components that affect failure and signals, signal processing, and analysis. The book then moves on to describe the features of these signals and the methods commonly used to extract these features to diagnose the health of a motor or drive, as well as the methods used to identify the state of health and differentiate between possible faults or their severity. Fault Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Reliability for Electrical Machines and Drives discusses the tools used to recognize trends towards failure and the estimation of remaining useful life. It addresses the relationships between fault diagnosis, failure prognosis, and fault mitigation. The book also provides: A thorough introduction to the modes of failure, how early failure precursors manifest themselves in signals, and how features extracted from these signals are processed A comprehensive exploration of the fault diagnosis, the results of characterization, and how they used to predict the time of failure and the confidence interval associated with it A focus on medium-sized drives, including induction, permanent magnet AC, reluctance, and new machine and drive types Perfect for researchers and students who wish to study or practice in the rea of electrical machines and drives, Fault Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Reliability for Electrical Machines and Drives is also an indispensable resource for researchers with a background in signal processing or statistics.
Fault Estimation for Network Systems via Intermediate Estimator
by Jun-Wei Zhu Xin Wang Guang-Hong YangThis book is concerned with the fault estimation problem for network systems. Firstly, to improve the existing adaptive fault estimation observer, a novel so-called intermediate estimator is proposed to identify the actuator or sensor faults in dynamic control systems with high accuracy and convergence speed. On this basis, by exploiting the properties of network systems such as multi-agent systems and large-scale interconnected systems, this book introduces the concept of distributed intermediate estimator; faults in different nodes can be estimated simultaneously; meanwhile, satisfactory consensus performances can be obtained via compensation based protocols. Finally, the characteristics of the new fault estimation methodology are verified and discussed by a series of experimental results on networked multi-axis motion control systems. This book can be used as a reference book for researcher and designer in the field of fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control and can also be used as a reference book for senior undergraduate and graduate students in colleges and universities.
The Fault Lines of Inequality: COVID 19 and the Politics of Financialization
by Huw Macartney Johnna Montgomerie Daniela TepeThis book examines how decisions made by the Conservative government during the COVID19 pandemic have increased economic inequality in the UK. Decades of austerity, asset-based welfare and financialization had already exacerbated social divisions in the UK prior to the pandemic. The political blueprint behind these measures combined Privatized Keynesianism and the Asset Economy. To explain, economists have highlighted that inequality derives from the fact that income from wealth increases at a faster rate than income from wages. The ensuing political assumption is that – in the face of pressures on public finances – promoting asset ownership is the best alternative to government-funded welfare schemes. What this meant, as the pandemic unfolded, was that when tough decisions about resource allocation needed to be made, the UK Treasury and the Bank of England found almost unlimited funds to rescue and protect asset-holders and middle-income homeowners, whilst reverting to a narrative of “misfortune” for the asset-less poor. This book assesses the political decisions taken by UK policymakers during 2020-21 and their consequences. In doing so, it challenges policymakers and the informed public to re-consider the morality of inequality, and to make alternative decisions to promote a more ecologically sustainable, caring, equal and prosperous society.

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has seen increased applications in cardiovascular diseases over the last decades. Its utility is already established in a wide range of conditions, including myocardial viability imaging, assessment of inflammatory diseases such as sarcoidosis and vasculitis, as well as imaging of infectious processes, such as infective endocarditis and cardiac implantable electronic device infection. In addition, there are several emerging indications such as the imaging of left ventricular assisting device infection and native valve endocarditis as well as new applications under investigation.The first section of the book reviews the technical basis of cardiovascular PET/CT and PET/MR imaging as well as cardiac metabolism. The following chapters each present specific pathologies, presenting epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnostic strategies, along with high quality clinical cases to support the discussion. The final chapter is a review of 15 interesting and clinically relevant cases.This is an ideal guide for nuclear medicine physicians, cardiologists, radiologists, residents, post-graduate fellows, and technologists.
FDTD Analysis of Guided Electromagnetic Wave Interaction with Time-Modulated Dielectric Medium (SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering)
by Debdeep SarkarThis book presents a detailed analytical and computational electromagnetic (CEM) treatment of guided electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation in independently time-varying dielectric medium, using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation technique. The contents provide an extensive literature review, explaining the importance of time-varying media (temporal photonic crystals) in new exotic applications that involve rich EM phenomena such as parametric amplification, frequency conversion, non-reciprocal gain, electromagnetic energy accumulation, temporal coating and temporal aiming (beam-forming). A one-dimensional (1D) FDTD simulation paradigm is then formulated in this book, starting from Maxwell's equations and boundary conditions. The issues of hard/soft source realizations, perfectly matched layers (PMLs), choice of simulation parameters (cell-size and time-stepping) are thoroughly explained through new visualization tools. This book provides a unique combination of rigorous analytical techniques, several FDTD simulation examples with reproducible source-codes, and new visualization/post-processing mechanisms. The contents of this book should prove to be useful for students, research scholars, scientists and engineers, working in the field of applied electromagnetics, and aiming to design cutting-edge microwave/optical devices based on time-varying medium.
La fe de ayer: Amor, fútbol y revolución
by Juan Carlos Ortecho FernándezUna historia de fútbol, amor y revolución Juan Carlos Ortecho explora en La fe de ayer la edad dorada del fútbol peruano, así como el «lado B» de los estertores finales de la dictadura militar, la transición hacia la democracia y el preámbulo del descalabro y el terror de los años ochenta en el país. Narrada desde una entrañable mirada infantil, esta novela aborda la construcción de los primeros afectos y el descubrimiento de los desencantos amorosos. Asimismo, el poder articulador que tiene el fútbol y los cambios acelerados que experimentaron la capital y una sociedad que entonces parecían condenadas a caer de manera irremisible por el despeñadero de la violencia y el pesimismo. Entre apagones, carencias y un clima de creciente desintegración social y política, pero también entre jornadas deportivas memorables —de la selección nacional y el club Universitario de Deportes—, películas, programas de televisión y canciones que dejaron una huella en el imaginario nacional, y apasionantes recorridos por calles, plazas y bodegas de una Lima que ya no existe, Ortecho nos invita a ingresar al túnel del tiempo para transitar la cartografía de sus recuerdos. Allí donde confluyen los triunfos y desengaños que marcan el devenir tanto del fútbol como de la vida afectiva y familiar de toda una generación.
La Fe Que Agrada a Dios: Escucha Su Voz – Cumple Tu Misión – Alcanza Tu Destino
by Elmer J. CastroNuestro Dios es un Dios de milagros. La Biblia está llena de ejemplos que demuestran esa realidad del carácter de Dios. Sin embargo, poco a poco más y más creyentes viven un caminar en Cristo robado de la expectativa de experimentar lo sobrenatural de Dios a este lado del cielo.Al ver esta realidad, algunos tratan de hacer más, creer más, o modificar su formula interna de lo que es la fe. Otros, toman el lado opuesto, creen menos, piden menos y también así modifican su definición de lo que es la fe. ¿Pero, qué es la fe?En La Fe Que Agrada a Dios, el autor aborda esta situación y pregunta central enfocando el propósito de la fe—agradar a Dios. Con esa perspectiva, el autor invita al lector a una jornada a través de la Biblia para: >> Descubrir el fundamento de la fe que agrada a Dios,>> Explorar las siete diferentes dimensiones de la fe,>> Mirar ejemplos del diario vivir que aplican a las diferentes dimensiones de la fe,>> Reflexionar e identificar las áreas fuertes y débiles en su caminar de fe.Mediante este libro el autor desea compartir verdades bíblicas que provean crecimiento y perspectiva que empoderen al creyente. Exponer verdades y promesas disponibles para que el creyente pueda vencer oposición glorificando a Dios en el proceso. Proveer herramientas para que que el lector pueda escuchar la voz de Dios, cumplir su misión, y así alcanzar el destino para el cual fue creado.SOBRE EL AUTORDesde temprana edad Elmer J. Castro sintió el llamado de Dios a predicar, lo cual hizo por primera vez a los 8 años. Más tarde, sirviendo como líder estudiantil en la Asociación Bíblica Universitaria, descubrió su pasión por la enseñanza y discipulado de otros creyentes. En adición a compartir y enseñar la Palabra, Elmer ha servido como guitarrista en grupos de alabanza y adoración por más de veinte años y actualmente lidera el de su iglesia, La Cosecha. En lo profesional, posee una maestría en Desarrollo Organizacional, lidera el departamento de adiestramiento en una agencia gubernamental, y es un coach de liderazgo acreditado por la Federación Internacional de Coaching.

Fear and Primordial Trust: From Becoming an Ego to Becoming Whole (Explorations in Mental Health)
by Monika Renz Mark Kyburz (translator)Fear and Primordial Trust explores fear as an existential phenomenon and how it can be overcome. Illustrated by clinical examples from the author’s practice as a psychotherapist and spiritual caregiver working with the severely ill and dying, the book outline theoretical insights into how primordial trust and archaic fear unconsciously shape our personality and behaviour. This book discusses in detail how in our everyday world, we lack primordial trust. Nevertheless, all of us have internalized it: as experiences of another non-dual world, of being unconditionally accepted, then sheltered and nurtured. The book outlines how from a spiritual viewpoint, we come from the non-dual world and experience a transition by becoming an ego, thereby experiencing archaic fear. This book explains fear in terms of two challenges encountered in this transition: firstly, leaving the non-world world when everything changes and we feel forlorn. Secondly, on awakening in the ego when we feel dependent and overwhelmed by otherness. The book also helps readers to understand trust as the emotional and spiritual foundation of the human soul, as well as how fear shapes us and how it can be outgrown. The book makes the case that understanding fear and primordial trust improves care and helps us to better understand dying. It will be of interest to academics, scholars and students in the fields of psychiatry, counselling, psychotherapy and palliative care and to all those interested in understanding fear, trust and the healing potential of spiritual experiences.
Fear and Trembling: A New Translation
by Søren KierkegaardThis newly translated Fear and Trembling, a foundational document of modern philosophy and existentialism, could not be more apt for our perilous times. First published in 1843 under the pseudonym Johannes de silentio (“John of Silence”), Soren Kierkegaard’s richly resonant Fear and Trembling has for generations stood as a pivotal text in the history of moral philosophy, inspiring such artistic and philosophical luminaries as Edvard Munch, W. H. Auden, Walter Benjamin, and existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre. Now, in our era of immense uncertainty, renowned Kierkegaard scholar Bruce H. Kirmmse eloquently brings this classic work to a new generation of readers. Retelling the biblical story of the binding of Isaac, Fear and Trembling expounds on the ordeal of Abraham, who was commanded by God to sacrifice his own son in an exceptional test of faith. Disgusted at the self-certainty of his own age, Kierkegaard investigates the paradox underlying Abraham’s decision to allow his duty to God to take precedence over his duties to his family. As Kierkegaard’s narrator explains, the story presents a difficulty that is not often considered—namely, that after the ordeal is over and Isaac has been spared at the last moment, Abraham is capable of receiving him again and living normally, even joyfully, for the rest of his days. Almost inexplicably, “Abraham had faith and did not doubt.” Deftly tracing the autobiographical threads that run throughout the work, Kirmmse initially, in his lucid and engaging introduction, demystifies Kierkegaard’s fictive narrator, Johannes de silentio, drawing parallels between Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son and the author’s personal “sacrifices.” Ultimately, however, Kirmmse reveals Fear and Trembling as a fiercely polemical volume, designed to provoke the reader into considering what is actually meant by the word “faith,” and whether those who consider themselves “true believers” actually are. With a vibrancy almost never before seen in English, and “a matchless grasp of the intricacies of Kierkegaard’s writing process” (Gordon Marino), Kirmmse here definitively demonstrates Kierkegaard’s enduring power to illuminate the terrible wonder of faith.

Fear, Hate, and Victimhood: How George Wallace Wrote the Donald Trump Playbook (Race, Rhetoric, and Media Series)
by Andrew E. StonerWhen Donald Trump announced his campaign for president in 2015, journalists, historians, and politicians alike attempted to compare his candidacy to that of Governor George Wallace. Like Trump, Wallace, who launched four presidential campaigns between 1964 and 1976, utilized rhetoric based in resentment, nationalism, and anger to sway and eventually captivate voters among America’s white majority. Though separated by almost half a century, the campaigns of both Wallace and Trump broke new grounds for political partisanship and divisiveness.In Fear, Hate, and Victimhood: How George Wallace Wrote the Donald Trump Playbook, author Andrew E. Stoner conducts a deep analysis of the two candidates, their campaigns, and their speeches and activities, as well as their coverage by the media, through the lens of demagogic rhetoric. Though past work on Wallace argues conventional politics overcame the candidate, Stoner makes the case that Wallace may in fact be a prelude to the more successful Trump campaign.Stoner considers how ideas about “in-group” and “out-group” mentalities operate in politics, how anti-establishment views permeate much of the rhetoric in question, and how expressions of victimhood often paradoxically characterize the language of a leader praised for “telling it like it is.” He also examines the role of political spectacle in each candidate’s campaigns, exploring how media struggles to respond to—let alone document—demagogic rhetoric.Ultimately, the author suggests that the Trump presidency can be understood as an actualized version of the Wallace presidency that never was. Though vast differences exist, the demagogic positioning of both men provides a framework to dissect these times—and perhaps a valuable warning about what is possible in our highly digitized information society.

The Fear of the Dead in Primitive Religion Vol. I (The Fear of the Dead in Primitive Religion #1)
by James George FrazerOn the question of how far the almost universal belief in the survival of the human spirit after death, which is implied by the fear of the dead, can be regarded as evidence of the truth of that survival, or opinions will doubtless always be divided. From the crudities, inconsistencies and absurdities in which the belief commonly clothes itself, an impartial observer might be tempted to conclude that the spirits of the dead exist only in the imagination of the fond and foolish portion of mankind; but this conclusion, so little consonant with the natural wishes, and perhaps the instincts, of humanity, is not likely to be ever popular, and it seems probable that the great majority of our species will continue to acquiesce in a belief so flattering to human vanity and so comforting to human sorrow. And it cannot be denied that the champions of eternal life have entrenched themselves in a strong, if not impregnable, position; for if it is impossible to prove the immortality of the soul, it is, in the present state of our knowledge, equally impossible to disprove it. But the batteries of science have an ever longer range, and on this side they may yet make a deep breach in the frowning bastions of faith.Sir James G. Frazer (1854-1941) is famous as the author of "The Golden Bough."

Feasibility Studies: An Architect’s Guide
by Peter FarrallFind that you’re spending much longer than planned on a feasibility study? Or that you have drifted into detailed design without formalising an appropriate form of appointment? This practical guide details the benefits of a feasibility study. Once you’ve secured the commission, how do you ensure you’re following current best practice? Aimed at architects, it identifies the pitfalls involved in undertaking a feasibility study and explains how to set boundaries, organise the process and manage clients’ aspirations. By featuring recent live projects, alongside advice from successful architectural practices, it illustrates how a feasibility study can help achieve positive outcomes and avoid the dangers of a poorly defined brief and service proposal. Presenting the client’s, as well as the architect’s, perspective, this publication highlights why a feasibility study is a sensible way of establishing viability prior to committing to a full-service commission. It underlines the significance of ‘adding value’ as an architect.
