In a modern and fast-evolving technological world, precarity has become more notable. Digital transformation has ushered in an era of ‘datafication’, profoundly impacting societies and individuals in such a way that there are emerging complexities and potential vulnerabilities in our interactions with technology. Thus, it is crucial that the Humanities subjects focus on human beings, their culture and values. This book focuses on the challenges and opportunities experienced in the Digital Humanities. The main thesis of this book is on Digital Humanities in precarious times, while also reporting on topics and research methods in a variety of Humanities subject fields. Digital Humanities i...
I've Always Kept a Unicorn tells the story of Sandy Denny, one of the greatest British singers of her time and the first female singer-songwriter to produce a substantial and enduring body of original songs. Sandy Denny laid down the marker for folk-rock when she joined Fairport Convention in 1968, but her music went far beyond this during the seventies. After leaving Fairport she formed Fotheringay, whose influential eponymous album was released in 1970, before collaborating on a historic one-off recording with Led Zeppelin - the only other vocalist to record with Zeppelin in their entire career - and releasing four solo albums across the course of the decade. Her tragic and untimely death came in 1978. Sandy emerged from the folk scene of the sixties - a world of larger-than-life characters such as Alex Campbell, Jackson C. Frank, Anne Briggs and Australian singer Trevor Lucas, whom she married in 1973. Their story is at the core of Sandy's later life and work, and is told with the assistance of more than sixty of her friends, fellow musicians and contemporaries, one of whom, to paraphrase McCartney on Lennon, observed that she sang like an angel but was no angel.
This publication contains a selection of 124 papers among the 165 full-length contributions which were submitted on-site at ISEM 2003. The objective of the symposia series is to vigorously promote the research in the field of electro-mechanical systems. The reader will, we hope, appreciate the variety of topics that were addressed. This is what makes ISEM so stimulating for whoever is interested in the applications of electromagnetics and its opening toward many technical fields. Yet, this publication does not intend to be a mosaic of sub-disciplines, but aims at their integration and synergy. This will be demonstrated by the present selection.
This book provides an insight into the design, modeling, control, and application of multiphase hybrid permanent magnet machines for electrified powertrains in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. The authors present an overview of electric and hybrid electric vehicles, hybrid electric machine topologies, hybrid permanent magnet (HPM) machine design, multiphase hybrid machines, operation of multiphase generators in series hybrid electric vehicles (SHEV), and machine hardware build-up and testing. Readers will gain an understanding of multiphase machine configuration, their design, control, and recent applications, along with the benefits they provide, and learn general design steps, prototyping, and hardware build-up processes of multiphase electric machines. Multiphase Hybrid Electric Machines: Applications for Electrified Powertrains will be a valuable reference for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers, working on electric/hybrid electric vehicles, as well as electric machine applications in renewable energy systems specifically wind turbines, HVAC systems, robotics, and aerospace industry.

Dieses gut eingeführte Standardwerk deckt Theorie und Anwendungen der Vakuumtechnik ab und wurde für die aktualisierte Neuauflage vollständig überarbeitet. Das Buch fasst den aktuellen Wissensstand der Vakuumtechnik zusammen, angefangen bei den Grundlagen über Bauteile bis hin zu vollständigen Vakuumsystemen. Zahlreiche Beispiele und Abbildungen illustrieren unterstützten den Transfer von Theorie zu Praxis, und eine durchgängig einheitliche Notation und Symbolik erleichtert das Verständnis. Abgerundet wird das Buch durch einen nutzerfreundlichen Anhang mit Umrechnungstabellen, mathematischen Hilfsmitteln, Materialkonstanten, Gerätedaten und Normen.
This book presents the design and operation of DC wind systems and their integration into power grids. The chapters give an in-depth discussion on turbine conversion systems that have been adapted for DC grids and address characteristics of wind turbines when converting kinetic wind energy to electrical energy, components associated with DC systems, and the design and analysis of DC grids. Additionally, the performance of medium voltage DC (MVDC) array grid and high voltage DC (HVDC) transmission grid connected via an offshore substation with DC/DC converters are also addressed. The book examines multiphase hybrid excitation generator systems for wind turbines and discusses its design and operation for all DC systems. The book provides an insight into the state-of-the-art technological advancements for existing and futuristic wind generation schemes, and provides materials that will allow students, researchers, academics, and practicing engineers to learn, expand and complement their expertise.
This first official history of the group candidly tells the Fairport Convention story in the words and recollections of its past and present members. Their history is one of musical revolution and evolution. It is a tale of friendships formed, Folk Rock invented and dedication personified.Speaking fully and frankly about the music and its shifts in direction, the endless tours, the regular comings and goings within the group, the triumphs and tragedies, it tells the remarkable story of the survival by a group who retired in 1979—only to play a reunion concert in Cropredy the following year. They enjoyed the reunion so much that they repeated it, and the now world renowned festival still ta...
