Organic Crop Breeding provides readers with a thorough review of the latest efforts by crop breeders and geneticists to develop improved varieties for organic production. The book opens with chapters looking at breeding efforts that focus on specific valuable traits such as quality, pest and disease resistance as well as the impacts improved breeding efforts can have on organic production. The second part of the book is a series of crop specific case studies that look at breeding efforts currently underway from around the world in crops ranging from carrots to corn. Organic Crop Breeding includes chapters from leading researchers in the field and is carefully edited by two pioneers in the field. Organic Crop Breeding provides valuable insight for crop breeders, geneticist, crop science professionals, researchers, and advanced students in this quickly emerging field.Content: Chapter 1 Organic Crop Breeding: Integrating Organic Agricultural Approaches and Traditional and Modern Plant Breeding Methods (pages 1-13): Edith T.

Optimization of Power System Operation

Optimization of Power System Operation
Optimization of Power System Operation By Jizhong Zhu(auth.)
2009 | 613 Pages | ISBN: 047029888X | PDF | 6 MB
Learn to apply optimization methods to solve power system operation problemsOptimization of Power System Operation applies the latest applications of new technologies to power system operation and analysis, including several new and important content areas that are not covered in existing books: uncertainty analysis in power systems; steady-state security regions; optimal load shedding; and optimal reconfiguration of electric distribution networks. The book covers both traditional and modern technologies, including power flow analysis, steady-state security region analysis, security-constrained economic dispatch, multi-area system economic dispatch, unit commitment, optimal power flow, reactive power (VAR) optimization, optimal load shed, optimal reconfiguration of distribution network, power system uncertainty analysis, power system sensitivity analysis, analytic hierarchical process, neural network, fuzzy set theory, genetic algorithm, evolutionary programming, and particle swarm optimization, among others. Additionally, new topics such as the wheeling model, multi-area wheeling, the total transfer capability computation in multiple areas, reactive power pricing calculation, and others are also addressed. Power system engineers, operators, and planners will benefit from this insightful resource. It is also of great interest to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in electrical and power engineering.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-7): Chapter 2 Power Flow Analysis (pages 9-41): Chapter 3 Sensitivity Calculation (pages 43-84): Chapter 4 Classic Economic Dispatch (pages 85-140): Chapter 5 Security?Constrained Economic Dispatch (pages 141-210): Chapter 6 Multiarea System Economic Dispatch (pages 211-250): Chapter 7 Unit Commitment (pages 251-295): Chapter 8 Optimal Power Flow (pages 297-364): Chapter 9 Steady?State Security Regions (pages 365-407): Chapter 10 Reactive Power Optimization (pages 409-454): Chapter 11 Optimal Load Shedding (pages 455-502): Chapter 12 Optimal Reconfiguration of Electrical Distribution Network (pages 503-543): Chapter 13 Uncertainty Analysis in Power Systems (pages 545-596):

Newspapering 50 Years of Reporting from Canada and Around the World

Newspapering 50 Years of Reporting from Canada and Around the World
Newspapering: 50 Years of Reporting from Canada and Around the World by Norman Webster
English | November 12, 2020 | ISBN: 1988025559 | True EPUB | 392 pages | 4.3 MB
In this collection of articles, Norman Webster takes readers on a journey through his 50 years of newspapering - in Canada, China in the early 1970s, the UK of Maggie Thatcher, and around the world. Webster, a distinguished international journalist, worked at a time when you couldn't rely on Google for your basic facts. You had to go there, look, ask questions. It's old-style reporting from a journalist with a sharp eye for the absurd, as the title (from a reporting trip to Tibet) suggests.
