Proceedings of the 21st International Symposium on High Voltage Engineering
High voltage engineering is extremely important for the reliable design, safe manufacture and operation of electric devices, equipment and electric power systems. The 21st International Symposium on High Voltage Engineering, organized by the 90 years old Budapest School of High Voltage Engineering, provides an excellent forum to present results, advances and discussions among engineers, researchers and scientists, and share ideas, knowledge and expertise on high voltage engineering. The proceedings of the conference presents the state of the art technology of the field. The content is simultaneously aiming to help practicing engineers to be able to implement based on the papers and researchers to link and further develop ideas.
Ein Beitrag zur Optimierung der elektrischen Feldstärkeverteilung in LDPE unter HGÜ-Beanspruchung
International etabliert sich die Hochspannungsgleichstromübertragung (HGÜ) für Spannungen bis 1,2 MV aufgrund von zunehmenden Übertragungsstrecken immer mehr zum Stand der Technik. National rückt die HGÜ aufgrund des politisch motivierten Ausbaus der erneuerbaren Energien und des damit verbundenen Aus- und Umbaus des Höchstspannungs-Übertragungsnetzes für Spannungen bis 525 kV in den Fokus. Dabei sind neue Übertragungsstrecken vorzugsweise als Trassen aus polymeren Kabeln zu realisieren. In Isolierstoffen von HGÜ-Kabelsystemen stellt sich im stationären Zustand ein elektrisches Strömungsfeld ein, das von der vorherrschenden elektrischen Leitfähigkeit der jeweiligen Isolierstoff...
Não É Só Sangue
O ciclo menstrual é reflexo da sua saúde. Aprenda o que o seu corpo lhe está a querer dizer. Além das questões menstruais, o livro ajudará as mulheres a compreender o importante conceito de literacia de corpo: que se traduz na capacidade de interpretarmos os sinais que o corpo nos dá e capacitar-nos no sentido de nos permitir tornarmo-nos uma autoridade nos nossos próprios assuntos. Porque é que precisa de um livro sobre ciclo menstrual? O mais provável é que seja diferente do que aquilo que lhe contaram. Para algumas pessoas, a menstruação é a chatice que aparece de quando em vez; para outras, não incomoda assim tanto. Mas para todas as pessoas que menstruam: o ciclo menstrua...
Partial Discharges (PD)
PARTIAL DISCHARGES (PD) — DETECTION, IDENTIFICATION AND LOCALIZATION Explore state-of-the-art partial discharge measurement techniques In Partial Discharges (PD) — Detection, Identification and Localization, a team of distinguished electrical engineers delivers a comprehensive treatment of the behavior, modeling, measurement, monitoring, localization, and evaluation of partial discharges. It includes coverage of all major advancements in the field that have occurred over the last few decades. It also discusses partial discharge phenomena, detection methods, and strategies for analyzing and processing collected data. Mechanisms of insulation failure are explored, as is the denoising of pa...
Our Fragile Moment
In this sweeping work of science and history, the renowned climate scientist and author of The New Climate War shows us the conditions on Earth that allowed humans not only to exist but thrive, and how they are imperiled if we veer off course. For the vast majority of its 4.54 billion years, Earth has proven it can manage just fine without human beings. Then came the first proto-humans, who emerged just a little more than 2 million years ago—a fleeting moment in geological time. What is it that made this benevolent moment of ours possible? Ironically, it’s the very same thing that now threatens us—climate change. The drying of the tropics during the Pleistocene period created a niche f...
International Handbook of Elder Abuse and Mistreatment
This first-of-its-kind work on elder abuse and mistreatment provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the subject. Covering almost all regions of the world, it highlights different dimensions of elder abuse and mistreatment in terms of their prevalence, incidence, prevention, treatment, management and response from governments and civil society, academic and research communities, and society in general. Written by international specialists from various disciplinary and presenting the latest findings and data, the handbook includes sections on the Americas; the Caribbean; Europe; Central, West and South Asia; East Asia and Asia-Pacific; and Africa. The chapters offer clarity on the concept and forms of elder abuse and neglect, discuss research methodology, and provide policy options, legislative solutions and programmatic responses to give relief to older people as victims of abuse and neglect as well as to deal with the perpetrators. This book is intended for a wide range of students and researchers interested in aging, from sociology, to social work, community medicine, public health, clinical psychology, and human rights/law.
Hurricane Harvey's Aftermath
Heartbreaking stories from survivors along the Texas Gulf Coast Hurricane Harvey was one of the worst American natural disasters in recorded history. It ravaged the Texas Gulf Coast, and left thousands of people homeless in its wake. In Hurricane Harvey’s Aftermath, Kevin M. Fitzpatrick and Matthew L. Spialek offer first-hand accounts from survivors themselves, providing a rare, on-the-ground perspective of natural disaster recovery. Drawing on interviews from more than 350 survivors, the authors trace the experiences of individuals and their communities, both rich and poor, urban and rural, white, Latinx, and Black, and how they navigated the long and difficult road to recovery after Hurricane Harvey. From Corpus Christi to Galveston, they paint a vivid, compelling picture of heartache and destruction, as well as resilience and recovery, as survivors slowly begin rebuilding their lives and their communities. An emotionally provocative read, Hurricane Harvey’s Aftermath provides insight into how ordinary people experience and persevere through a disaster in an age of environmental vulnerability.
Biologische Psychologie
Biologische Psychologie (oder Biopsychologie) ist eines der zentralen Teilgebiete der Psychologie. Während Psychologie ganz allgemein als die Wissenschaft vom Erleben und Verhalten des Menschen definiert ist, erforscht die Biologische Psychologie speziell die biologischen Grundlagen bzw. Korrelate unseres Erlebens und Verhaltens. Dieses Lehrbuch vermittelt einen Einblick in ausgewählte Methoden und Inhalte des Faches. So wird beispielsweise gezeigt, wie wir unser Gehirn beim „Arbeiten“ beobachten können, und es wird erläutert, inwiefern uns der Schlaf beim Lernen hilft. Das Buch vermittelt prüfungsrelevanten Stoff des Bachelor-Moduls "Biologische Psychologie".
Dangerous Earth
“A fascinating and riveting read that really succeeds in bringing you right to the cutting edge of open questions in the earth sciences.” —Leon Vlieger, Inquisitive Biologist Today, we know more than ever before about the powerful forces that can cause catastrophe, but significant questions remain. Why can’t we better predict some natural disasters? What do scientists know about them already? What do they wish they knew? In Dangerous Earth, marine scientist and science communicator Ellen Prager explores the science of investigating volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, landslides, rip currents, and—maybe the most perilous hazard of all—climate change. Each chapter conside...
So reicht das nicht!
»Wir dürfen keine Zeit mehr verlieren. Vor allem müssen wir Klima-Außenpolitik lernen.« Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker Seit dem berühmten Club-of-Rome-Bericht von 1972 "Die Grenzen des Wachstums" sollte die Welt wissen, dass das schiere Wirtschaftswachstum zu viel Schaden anrichtet. Besonders beim Klima. "Es reicht nicht, wenn ein paar gutwillige Länder zu Vorbildern der Klimaneutralität werden", sagt Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker. "Wir müssen auch dafür sorgen, dass es den Entwicklungsländern und den Kohle- und Öl-Ländern richtig Nutzen bringt, aus Kohle, Öl und Erdgas auszusteigen." Wo weltweit und zu Hause etwas zur Stabilisierung des Planeten getan werden muss, zeigt er auf anhand von sieben Themen. Wesentlicher Punkt ist für ihn die Arbeit an einer neuen Aufklärung. Man müsse in Sachen ökologischer Wahrheit Abschied nehmen von primitivem Egoismus und maximierter Kapitalrendite und fordert ein deutlich entschlosseneres Handeln für das Wohl künftiger Generationen: "Nur wer dem Klima und der Natur nützt, sollte künftig Gewinner sein. Verlierer sollten die Zerstörer sein."
