    • English
    Power System Fault Diagnosis: A Wide Area Measurement Based Intelligent Approach is a comprehensive overview of the growing interests in efficient diagnosis of power system faults to reduce outage duration and revenue losses by expediting the restoration process.This book illustrates intelligent fault diagnosis schemes for power system networks, at both transmission and distribution levels, using data acquired from phasor measurement units. It presents the power grid modeling, fault modeling, feature extraction processes, and various fault diagnosis techniques, including artificial intelligence techniques, in steps. The book also incorporates uncertainty associated with line parameters, fault information (resistance and inception angle), load demand, renewable energy generation, and measurement noises.

  • Fisiopatología de la COVID-19 en diferentes órganos y sistemas

    • 1st Edition
    • Esther Barreiro Portela
    • Spanish
    Esta obra muestra en un solo volumen, de forma práctica y sencilla, cómo la infección por el SARS-CoV-2 afecta a numerosos órganos y sistemas, pudiendo dar lugar a una enfermedad grave, en muchos casos de naturaleza sistémica. La obra está estructurada en trece capítulos. Inicialmente se describen los mecanismos infectivos del virus y la respuesta inmune a la infección por el SARS-CoV-2. Aborda la fisiopatología del virus en los sistemas respiratorio, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, real, nervioso, cutáneo y muscular. Posteriormente se detallan los mecanismos fisiopatológicos mediante los cuales se desarrolla el daño en el órgano diana, también en el paciente crítico. Los últimos capítulos abordan el seguimiento y la rehabilitación de los pacientes que han superado la enfermedad. Especialmente dirigida a los distintos profesionales sanitarios (médicos, enfermeras y fisioterapeutas, entre otros), también será un recurso de enorme interés para estudiantes de grados y posgrados sanitarios y de Ciencias de la Salud, así como para científicos que trabajen en ámbitos relacionados.

  • Ecological Significance of River Ecosystems

    Challenges and Management Strategies
    • 1st Edition
    • Sughosh Madhav + 4 more
    • English
    Ecological Significance of Riparian Ecosystems: Challenges and Management Strategies examines the current issues related to river ecosystems, their environmental importance, pollution issues and potential management strategies. The book is divided into 4 key themes: Basics of river ecosystem, Natural phenomenon of river ecosystem, Human-induced problems of river ecosystem, and Management measures for the river ecosystem. Through these four themes, the contributors present both practical and theoretical aspects of river ecosystem in changing climate. An emphasis has been made on the recent research of climate change and its impact on the river ecosystem. River ecosystems have tremendous potential to store CO2, however, with changing climatic and anthropogenic activities, these habitats are under threat, and river ecosystems are losing the very vital service of storing carbon. Unlike well documented terrestrial biodiversity, the biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems is still unrecognized to some extent.
