Soft Computing for Risk Evaluation and Management
Risk is a crucial element in virtually all problems people in diverse areas face in their activities. It is impossible to find adequate models and solutions without taking it into account. Due to uncertainty and complexity in those problems, traditional "hard" tools and techniques may be insufficient for their formulation and solution. This is the first book in the literature that shows how soft computing methods (fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, etc.) can be employed to deal with various problems related to risk analysis, evaluation and management in various fields of technology, environment and finance.
Electricity Restructuring
Five essays examine issues of restructuring of electricity markets and regulations. The authors generally acknowledge that total deregulation could have disastrous consequences and promote a hybrid restructuring that takes into account certain concerns related to air pollution and consumer rights. Also included are abstracts of 18 journal papers on the same topic. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Three-Phase Diode Rectifiers with Low Harmonics
This book reviews numerous research papers published in the last fifteen years in the area of current injection based rectifiers. A partial list of coverage includes analysis of various magnetic current injection devices, the third harmonic current injection, injection networks, and optimal current injection. The book will be of interest to professionals involved in design of low-harmonic three-phase rectifiers, as well as students and researchers.
The Global Impact of Unconventional Shale Gas Development
This book discusses the economic, political, and environmental issues surrounding the international exploration and exploitation of conventional and unconventional natural gas. Shale gas development in recent years has changed the energy discussion in the US as existing reserves of natural gas coupled with horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing make exploitation of these reserves economically feasible; the discussion is quickly becoming international in scope. The potential expansion of natural gas development impacts many regions of the globe and spans multiple perspectives. In a volatile international climate, one of intense geopolitical conflict between Russia and the West, economic...
Competitive Electricity Markets
Comprises 16 contributions prepared by researchers, economists, and engineers involved in assessing market reforms to the electricity supply industry in the state of Victoria, Australia. The introduction offers historical background to the market reforms and describes the wholesale electricity market. Subsequent sections address electricity market regulations; experiences in trading electrical energy; electricity contracts and prices; and the structure and operation of the national electricity market.

Energy and Power Systems
The technical committee on mechatronics formed by the International Federation for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms, in Prague, Czech Republic, adopted the following definition for the term: Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design products and manufacturing process.Due to developments in powerful computers, including microprocessors and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICS), computational techniques, diverse technologies, advances in the design process of products and other factors, the field of mechatronics has evolved as a highly powerful and most cost effective means for product realization.
Destined for Liberty
In this compelling new work, Jaroslaw Kupczak, O.P., presents a complete introduction to John Paul II's theory of the human person
Infrastructure for Asian Connectivity
