Lowering Your Facility’s Electric Rates

Lowering Your Facility’s Electric Rates

Many energy practitioners are either uninformed or misinformed regarding how electricity is actually priced. Many are also unaware of how to properly calculate potential dollar savings from energy efficiency upgrades. Designed for commercial/industrial/institutional (C&I) power customers this book details ways to secure lower electric rates and pricing in both regulated and deregulated retail power markets. The range of options varies from simple methods (e. g. minimizing sales tax) to more complex techniques (e. g. intervening in regulatory rate proceedings). With 40+ years’ experience in energy services Mr. Audin provides an excellent understanding of power pricing and ways to reduce it. | Lowering Your Facility’s Electric Rates

A Holter for Parkinson’s Disease Motor Symptoms: STAT-On

A Holter for Parkinson’s Disease Motor Symptoms: STAT-On

A new information and communication technology (ICT) has been deployed in the battle against Parkinson’s disease a neurodegenerative disorder that is both progressive and disabling with significant impact on quality of life. This book explains the experience following from the achieved results in the REMPARK project on Parkinson’s disease management up to the launch of a new medical product to the European market STAT-ON™. The new medical device STAT-ON™ is a real Holter for the motor symptoms associated to PD. It provides objective information about the severity and distribution of PD motor symptoms and their fluctuations in daily life allowing for an unbiased and correct monitoring of the patient. This real-time remote monitoring solution gives additional information to neurologists opening up new possibilities for more effective treatment more accurate control in clinical trials and for early detection of motor complications. The number of PD patients is continuously rising adding complexity especially in the management at the level of public health. It is an incurable disease with a symptomatic treatment that tries to alleviate the associated symptoms through a correct adjustment of the medication. For this reason it is also very important to be aware of changes in the manifestation of the symptoms which may indicate the need for an adjustment or even a change in the therapy strategy. The intensive complementary use of STAT-ON™ by neurologists health professionals and researchers will increase the independence and quality of life of patients improving their disease management and contributing to a deeper understanding of the nature of the disease.

Slime Mould in Arts and Architecture

Slime Mould in Arts and Architecture

The slime mould Physarum polycephalum was a source of explosive growth of bioengineered hybrid sensing and computing devices in the past decade. Being in its vegetative state the plasmodium the slime mould configures its protoplasmic network to optimize its geometry with relation to patterns of attractants and repellents. The slime mould’s adaptability polymorphism and aestheticism inspired artists and architects. The slime mould has been seen as a self-conscious liquid form continuously changing its shape in response to external stimulation and due to interactions of thousands of micro-oscillators in its body. Elusiveness is a magic feature of the slime mould. One moment the slime mould gives you a solution to a mathematical problem by a shape of its body next moment it changes its shape and the solution disappears. Slime Mould in Arts and Architecture presents a set of unique chapters written by leading artists architects and scientists which resulted from creative translations of the slime mould behaviour into forms and sounds unconventional investigations and sensorial experiences and the slime mould ability to remove boundaries between living and artificial solid and fluid science and arts. The book gives readers unique tools for designing architectural forms and creative works using the slime mould understanding how pro-cognitive living substrates can be used in everyday life it sparks new ideas and initiates further progress in many fields or arts architecture science and engineering.

Certifications of Critical Systems – The CECRIS Experience

Certifications of Critical Systems – The CECRIS Experience

In recent years a considerable amount of effort has been devoted both in industry and academia to the development validation and verification of critical systems i. e. those systems whose malfunctions or failures reach a critical level both in terms of risks to human life as well as having a large economic impact. Certifications of Critical Systems – The CECRIS Experience documents the main insights on Cost Effective Verification and Validation processes that were gained during work in the European Research Project CECRIS (acronym for Certification of Critical Systems). The objective of the research was to tackle the challenges of certification by focusing on those aspects that turn out to be more difficult/important for current and future critical systems industry: the effective use of methodologies processes and tools. The CECRIS project took a step forward in the growing field of development verification and validation and certification of critical systems. It focused on the more difficult/important aspects of critical system development verification and validation and certification process. Starting from both the scientific and industrial state of the art methodologies for system development and the impact of their usage on the verification and validation and certification of critical systems the project aimed at developing strategies and techniques supported by automatic or semi-automatic tools and methods for these activities setting guidelines to support engineers during the planning of the verification and validation phases.

Modulation Theory

Modulation Theory

In recent years a considerable amount of effort has been devoted both in industry and academia towards the design performance analysis and evaluation of modulation schemes to be used in wireless and optical networks towards the development of the next and future generations of mobile cellular communication systems. Modulation Theory is intended to serve as a complementary textbook for courses dealing with Modulation Theory or Communication Systems but also as a professional book for engineers who need to update their knowledge in the communications area. The modulation aspects presented in the book use modern concepts of stochastic processes such as autocorrelation and power spectrum density which are novel for undergraduate texts or professional books and provides a general approach for the theory with real life results applied to professional design. This text is suitable for the undergraduate as well as the initial graduate levels of Electrical Engineering courses and is useful for the professional who wants to review or get acquainted with the a modern exposition of the modulation theory. The books covers signal representations for most known waveforms Fourier analysis and presents an introduction to Fourier transform and signal spectrum including the concepts of convolution autocorrelation and power spectral density for deterministic signals. It introduces the concepts of probability random variables and stochastic processes including autocorrelation cross-correlation power spectral and cross-spectral densities for random signals and their applications to the analysis of linear systems. This chapter also includes the response of specific non-linear systems such as power amplifiers. The book presents amplitude modulation with random signals including analog and digital signals and discusses performance evaluation methods presents quadrature amplitude modulation using random signals.

Coiled Tubing and Other Stimulation Techniques Formation Damage Well Stimulation Techniques for Production Enhancement

Coiled Tubing and Other Stimulation Techniques Formation Damage Well Stimulation Techniques for Production Enhancement

Good engineers never stop looking for opportunities to improve the performance of their production systems. Performance enhancement methods are always carefully examined and production data is analyzed in order to identify determining factors affecting performance. The two main activities of the production engineer in the petroleum and related industries are reservoir stimulation and artificial lift. The classic solution to maximizing a well's productivity is to stimulate it. The basis for selecting stimulation candidates should be a review of the well's actual and theoretical IPR. Low permeability wells often need fracturing on initial completion. In low permeability zones additional post stimulation production can be significant to the economics however the production engineer needs to make management aware of the true long term potential or else overly optimistic projections can easily be made. The main purpose of stimulation is to enhance the property value by the faster delivery of the petroleum fluid and/or to increase ultimate economic recovery. The aim of reservoir stimulation is to bypass near-wellbore damage and return a well to its “natural” productivity / injectivity to extend a conductive path deep into a formation and thus increase productivity beyond the natural level and to produce hydrocarbon from tight formation. The importance of reservoir stimulation is increasing due to following reasons: • Hydrocarbon fields in their mid-life• Production in these fields are in declining trend• The thrust area: Enhancement of productionHence to improve productivity of the well matrix stimulation and hydraulic fracturing are intended to remedy or even improve the natural connection of the wellbore with the reservoir which could delay the need for artificial lift. This book presents procedures taken in the Oil & Gas Industry for identifying well problems and it suggests means of solving problems with the help of the Coil Tube unit which is used for improving well productivity and techniques like Acidizing and Hydraulic Fracturing. | Coiled Tubing and Other Stimulation Techniques Formation Damage Well Stimulation Techniques for Production Enhancement

Security Architecture – How & Why

Security Architecture – How & Why

Security Architecture or Enterprise Information security architecture as it was originally coined by Gartner back in 2006 has been applied to many things and different areas making a concrete definition of security architecture a difficult proposition. But having an architecture for the cyber security needs of an organization is important for many reasons not least because having an architecture makes working with cyber security a much easier job since we can now build on a hopefully solid foundation. Developing a security architecture is a daunting job for almost anyone and in a company that has not had a cyber security program implemented before the job becomes even harder. The benefits of having a concrete cyber security architecture in place cannot be overstated! The challenge here is that a security architecture is not something that can stand alone it absolutely must be aligned with the business in which it is being implemented. This book emphasizes the importance and the benefits of having a security architecture in place. The book will be aligned with most of the sub-frameworks in the general framework called SABSA or Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture. SABSA is comprised of several individual frameworks and there are several certifications that you can take in SABSA. Aside from getting a validation of your skills SABSA as a framework focuses on aligning the Security Architecture with the business and its strategy. Each of the chapters in this book will be aligned with one or more of the components in SABSA the components will be described along with the introduction to each of the chapters. | Security Architecture – How & Why
