This comprehensive, revised edition gives extensive attention to recent research surrounding the technique of dyadic Green functions. Additional formulations are introduced, including the classifications and the different methods of finding the eigenfunction expansions. Important new features in this edition include: Maxwell's equations, cast in a dyadic form...the integral solutions of Maxwell's equations...a detailed discussion of complementary reciprocal theorems and transient radiation in moving media and the derivation of various dyadic Green functions for problems involving plain layered media.

In this complete guide, an international expert taps the latest developments in field to show you how to get optimal performance from any electric drive. It offers full treatment of both conventional and static convert-based drives, and is packed with industrial applications and relevant examples. Plus, this ideal reference reviews elementary theory of electrical machines and conventional speed control methods (without deep mathematical analysis), and presents detailed discussions of closed-loop control and the dynamics of drives.

An introduction to fuzzy systems with an engineering point of view. Includes fuzzy information approaches to equipment, condition monitoring and diagnosis. Detection and localization of shorted-turns in the DC field winding of turbine-generator. Rotors using novelty detection and fuzzified neural networks; fuzzy logic controller as a power system stabilizer; fuzzy logic control scheme using polar information for stability enhancement; fuzzy logic switching of FACTS devices; effects of uncertain load in power network modeling; a fuzzy perspective of power system reliability; operation support expert system for startup schedule optimization in fossil power plants.

Ranging across the entire spectrum of power quality issues, the book contains a wealth of reliable information for everyone working in the field, from utility engineers to industrial plant technicians to power quality consultants. Written in an accessible style supported by abundant illustrations, this hands-on resource discusses all the key facets. Its unique breadth of coverage makes this the reference on power quality issues you'll want to keep close at hand for years to come.

A handy reference for engineers and physicists, this IEEE reprinting of the classic text provides a deep, fundamental understanding of electromagnetics. Providing a pertinent historical overview for each chapter, it shows how special relativity is used to develop a complete electromagnetic theory from Coulomb's Law, with the need relativity theory developed in an early chapter.

Describes physical and chemical technologies for treating and managing solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes.

Provides an overview of recent research on the environmental effects of sulfide oxidation in geochemistry and related disciplines. Features new techniques, including scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, and evolved gas analysis. Describes kinetics of sulfide mineral dissolution, microbiological processes, solubility of secondary minerals, and effects on groundwater and surface-water systems. Presents advances in numerical modeling, prediction of acid generation, and remediation technology for mining wastes. Includes review of stable isotope (S,O) geochemistry in sulfate from acid mine drainage and acid rain environments.

The first comprehensive volume on the major aspects of environmental catalysis. Focus on NOx removal, mobile engine emission controls, power plant emissions,control of volatile organic compounds, SOx emissions, and waste minimization. Overview chapters introduce each section and provide added perspective and coverage.

Presents a timely exploration of research topics in environmental chemistry of lakes and reservoirs. Includes coverage of methodological advances in studies of lake geochemistry; cycling and distribution of major elements in aquatic systems; behavior of trace metals, with an emphasis on processes that control their solubility and transport, and behavior and fate of organic contaminants.

A collection of 30 landmark papers spans the entire history of evolutionary computation from today's investigations back to its very origins more than 40 years ago. Each chapter highlights how early ideas have developed into current thinking and others have been lost and await rediscovery.
