Cascading Blackouts: Causes and Solutions
Help protect your network with this important reference work on cyber security Cascading failure is an extremely common source of blackouts wherein one component fails to some extent and, as a result, other elements are then overloaded, crashing the entire system. The effect of these crashes is significant: it can take days to restore service and as a result, societal costs have been estimated in the billions of US dollars. Their puzzling nature—occurring, as they do, in essentially undamaged systems and the triggering event is often innocuous, unremarkable, and unexpected—has led to over a half century of continuous study, since the first cascading blackout. But they keep happening. Cascading Blackouts presents the root causes of these unfortunate incidents and establishes a powerful, practical new approach to measuring risk of cascading blackouts, based on proven, well-established principles. In their review of actions, developments, studies, and research directed at this problem, Merrill and Feltes describe both traditional models and introduce a new cascading failure network model that can be used to compute how failures propagate from branch to branch of a system. As our electrical system gets larger and more complex, these issues will continue and perhaps worsen, it is more crucial than ever to continue research on this vital area of power engineering. Cascading Blackouts readers will also find: A review of fourteen historical blackouts and the systems that caused them Three case studies to illustrate the proposed metrics and their applications A practical guide to addressing key issues in complex power systems Written by two well-known and highly experienced consultants who have worked on large power grids all over the world Cascading Blackouts is a useful reference for researchers and practitioners of power system development, as well as researchers of the practice.

Environmental Radioactivity from Natural, Industrial and Military Sources

Environmental Radioactivity from Natural, Industrial and Military Sources

Merrill Eisenbud; Thomas F. Gesell

Academic Press Inc
1997
sidottu
Environmental Radioactivity from Natural, Industrial, and Military Sources is the comprehensive source of information on radiation in the environment and human exposure to radioactivity. This Fourth Edition isa complete revision and extension of the classic work, reflecting major new developments and concerns as the Cold War ended, nuclear weapons began to be dismantled, and cleanup of the nuclear weapons facilities assumed center stage. Contamination from accidents involving weapons, reactors, and radionuclide sources are discussed in an updated chapter, including the latest information about the effects of the Chernobyl accident. Important revisions are also made to the chapters on natural radioactivity, nuclear fuels and power reactors, radioactive waste management, and various other sources of exposure. Several chapters provide primers for readers who may not be familiar with the fundamentals of radiation biology, protection standards, and pathways for the environmental transport of radionuclides. An Appendix lists the properties of the more important radionuclides found in the environment. The book concludes with a commentary on contemporary social aspects of radiation exposure and risks that offers analternative view to current, often excessive concerns over radiation, nuclear technology, and waste.

The Great Triumvirate

The Great Triumvirate

Merrill D. Peterson

Oxford University Press Inc
1989
nidottu
This is a joint biography of Daniel Webster, Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun, the most prominent of the second generation of American statesmen, from 1812 until 1850. It is at the same time a history of the America of the period: its political style and character, political ambition and reputation, success and failure, and ideas and interests. The three statesmen make a startling contrast - Webster, the staunch New England defender of the Union, Clay, first a `war hawk' and later a populist politician, and Calhoun, the foremost advocate of Southern separatism and slavery. Their political lives were intertwined during much of this period.

"I Will Fight No More Forever"

"I Will Fight No More Forever"

Merrill D. Beal

University of Washington Press

pokkari
Unpublished letters and diaries by eyewitnesses, interviews with decedents, an intimate knowledge of the country enrich this narrative of the heroic Nez Perce Indian War waged in 1877 against relocation.The result is a well documented chronicle offering new perspective on prewar Indian-white relations, United States government pressures and nontreaty rebellions, the five battles, subjection and surrender, and on the character of the leaders on both sides."From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever," Chief Joseph said in surrender. But as a guardian and protector of his people he at last succeeded in bringing back the remaining members of his tribe to their beloved valley.Calling Professor Beal's book, "definitive, but not final," Herman J. Deutsch, professor emeritus of American history at Washington State University, writes in the foreword: "Joseph and his band remain an example and inspiration to those who today are seeking recognition as human beings, equal in the sight of God and therefore entitled to like status among men. Those who recognize that such aspirations must not for long remain unfulfilled can derive from Nez Perce history examples of the consequences of policies conceived in ignorance and colored with disdain of the culture and way of life of minority peoples. ...A world surfeited with deceptive success stories can ill afford to forget a people and their leader who attained their true moral stature as they were facing their doom."

When writer Merrill John Gerber is invited to join her husband, a history professor, as he takes a class of American college students in Florence, Italy, she feels terrified at the idea of leaving her comforts, her friends, and her aged mother in California. Her husband tries to assure her that her fear of Italy - and her lack of knowledge of the Italian language - will be offset by the discoveries of travel. This is the tale of a woman who readily admits her fear of travel, a fear that many experience but are embarrassed to admit. When finally she plunges into the new adventure, she describes her experiences in Florence with wit, humour and energy.

Glimmering Girls

Glimmering Girls tells the story of three extraordinary American women during a time of sexual and cultural repression. Francie and her friends Liz and Amanda are college students, coming of age intellectually, emotionally, and physically in a setting where men were forbidden entry to women's dorm rooms, and women were locked into those rooms after curfew. College life for women was governed by one simple, cardinal rule: Marry Before Graduation or Be Lost Forever. Any thrist for adventure was supposed to be satisfied by the occasional panty raid. Francie and friends, however, find all this hard to swallow, and they resist their appointed futures as elementary school teachers and holders of the precious ""MRS"" degree. Doing the unthinkable, the three move off campus to live in a house with three men - Liz's boyfriend and two handsome, mysterious Southern twins who fix foreign cars in a shop off campus. There the young women's rebellion against expectations deepens, and they begin the real-world education of pursuing their dreams. Francie yearns to be a writer and is encouraged by her Russian literature professor. Then she meets Joshua, a talented and dedicated piano student, who presents the ultimate challenge: does she maintain her ""virtue,"" or give in to her sexual desires, finally breaking fully free of repressive ""respectability""? Ultimately, Francie, Liz, and Amanda each find a way to live fully at a time when their entire culture seemed arrayed against them.
