Smart Grid Economics A Field Experimental Approach to Demand Response


Free Download Smart Grid Economics: A Field Experimental Approach to Demand Response by Takanori Ida , Makoto Tanaka , Koichiro Ito
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 142 Pages | ISBN : 9819985765 | 14.1 MB
This book aims to report on a cutting-edge research project of the smart grid in Japan, resting on the three pillars of field experiments, behavioral economics, and big data. The field experiments on the smart grid were conducted in four regions in Japan-Yokohama city, Toyota city, Keihanna Science City, and Kitakyushu city-over a three-year period from 2012 to 2014 after the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, and the subsequent accident at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plants. Our focus here is on demand response in the smart grid environment, which we also discuss in the context of power system reforms. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, policy makers, and business leaders.

Experimental Vibration Analysis for Civil Engineering Structures EVACES 2023 – Volume 1 (2024)


Free Download Experimental Vibration Analysis for Civil Engineering Structures EVACES 2023 – Volume 1 by Maria Pina Limongelli, Pier Francesco Giordano, Said Quqa, Carmelo Gentile, Alfredo Cigada
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 800 Pages | ISBN : 303139108X | 163.6 MB
This volume presents peer-reviewed contributions from the 10th International Conference on Experimental Vibration Analysis for Civil Engineering Structures (EVACES), held in Milan, Italy on August 30-September 1, 2023. The event brought together engineers, scientists, researchers, and practitioners, providing a forum for discussing and disseminating the latest developments and achievements in all major aspects of dynamic testing for civil engineering structures, including instrumentation, sources of excitation, data analysis, system identification, monitoring and condition assessment, in-situ and laboratory experiments, codes and standards, and vibration mitigation. The topics included but were not limited to: damage identification and structural health monitoring; testing, sensing and modeling; vibration isolation and control; system and model identification; coupled dynamical systems (including human-structure, vehicle-structure, and soil-structure interaction); and application of advanced techniques involving the Internet of Things, robot, UAV, big data and artificial intelligence.

The Oxford Handbook of Experimental Syntax


Free Download Jon Sprouse, "The Oxford Handbook of Experimental Syntax "
English | ISBN: 0198797729 | 2023 | 704 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
This volume showcases the contributions that formal experimental methods can make to syntactic research in the 21st century. Syntactic theory is both a domain of study in its own right, and one component of an integrated theory of the cognitive neuroscience of language. It provides a theory of the mediation between sound and meaning, a theory of the representations constructed during sentence processing, and a theory of the end-state for language acquisition. Given the highly interactive nature of the theory of syntax, this volume defines "experimental syntax" in the broadest possible terms, exploring both formal experimental methods that have been part of the domain of syntax since its inception (i.e., acceptability judgment methods) and formal experimental methods that have arisen through the interaction of syntactic theory with the domains of acquisition, psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics.

Experimental and Independent Italian Cinema Legacies and Transformations into the Twenty-First Century


Free Download Anthony Cristiano, "Experimental and Independent Italian Cinema: Legacies and Transformations into the Twenty-First Century"
English | ISBN: 1474474039 | 2020 | 344 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Discussing a variety of independent and experimental Italian films, this book gives voice to a critcically neglected form of Italian cinema. By examining the work of directors such as Marinella Pirelli, Mirko Locatelli and Cesrae Zavattini, the book defines, inspects and studies the cinematic panorama of Italy through a new lens. It thereby explores the character of independent films and their related practices within the Italian historical, cultural and cinematic landscape.
