In response to the growing importance of power system security and reliability, Transmission Grid Security proposes a systematic and probabilistic approach for transmission grid security analysis. The analysis presented uses probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) and takes into account the power system dynamics after severe faults. In the method shown in this book the power system states (stable, not stable, system breakdown, etc.) are connected with the substation reliability model. In this way it is possible to: estimate the system-wide consequences of grid faults;identify a chain of events that might lead to blackout; andrank the importance of different substation components at the system level. Transmission Grid Security also presents the main features and basic mathematics of PSA. It provides the reader with up-to-date knowledge of the regulatory issues affecting the security of transmission grids in Europe. Transmission Grid Security gives a practical method for the security analysis of transmission grids, making it a valuable text for engineers and system operators, as well as postgraduate students. It includes basic information and detailed modules for creating a reliability model that takes into account all the basic operations and components needed after grid faults.

While a large amount of scholarship about Milan Kundera's work exists, in Liisa Steinby's opinion, his work has not been studied within the context of (European) modernity as a sociohistorical and a cultural concept. Of course, he is considered to be a modernist writer (some call him even a postmodernist), but what the broader concept of modernity intellectually, historically, socially, and culturally means for him and how this is expressed in his texts has not been thoroughly examined. Steinby's book fills this vacuum by analysing Kundera's novels from the viewpoint of his understanding of the existential problems in the culture of modernity. In addition, his relation to those modernist novelists from the first half of the twentieth century who are most important for him is scrutinised in detail. Steinby’s Kundera and Modernity is intended for students of modernism in literary and (comparative) cultural studies, as well as those interested in European and Central European studies. Key Points: Offers new insights into the work of the popular modern writer Milan Kundera. Expands the reader’s understanding of the meaning of the concept of “modernity.” Widens the literature available in English about Central European culture.

The pressure and anxiety were overwhelming, and eventually Susan’s well-hidden depression and alcoholism finally came to light. Frank had to come to terms with how his “mission above all else” mentality contributed to his wife’s suffering. As Susan healed, she was able to begin helping others who suffered in silence from mental illness and addiction.Discover how Frank and Susan’s love and commitment to each other is still overcoming life’s challenges, even beyond their years as an Apollo commander and the founder of the Astronaut Wives Club.

Based on a large pool of oral material as well as multiple S mi museum collections, this book examines the connection between S mi identities, duodji, sovereignty and S mi heritage objects in museums.Traditionally, duodji has been defined as S mi "craft", but in her work Finbog demonstrates how this definition is the result of a historical devaluation caused by multiple colonial strategies. She goes on to redefine the practice of duodji as an important S mi epistemology of aesthetics and muitalusat stories] centered within a system of relations that are expressed as bonds of kinship.Drawing on the concepts, paradigms and analytical tools created from this system of knowledge, Finbog engages with multiple processes and expressions of S mi Indigenous identity and sovereignty within the context of museums and cultural heritage institutions. Using the practices, materials, and relations of S mi duodji as a lens, she thus provides new insights into the role of S mi museums as Indigenous institutions, and furthermore how such institutions have come to provide an important component of S mi epistemologies.By way of multiple conversations as well as museum visits with duoj rat, or practitioners of duodji, Finbog also investigates the relation between museums, duodji, and S mi source communities, showing how the formation of these relations have a massive impact on both S mi identities and perceptions of sovereignty. As such, the book provides a far more complex picture and understanding of museum collections, S mi museums as cultural heritage institutions, and the multiple and diverse processes that are initiated in the negotiation of S mi identities and expressions of sovereignty, than has been historically assumed.
