Station Blackout: Inside the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster and Recovery
by Charles A. CastoThe nuclear safety expert shares a gripping, blow-by-blow account of how he led the response to the 2011 nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan. On March 11, 2011, fifty minutes after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit eastern Japan, a forty-five-foot high tsunami engulfed the nuclear power plant known as Fukushima Daiichi, knocking out electrical power and all the reactors' safety systems. Three reactor cores experienced meltdowns in the first three days, leading to an unimaginable nuclear disaster. The Tokyo Electric Power Company called Dr. Chuck Casto for help. In Station Blackout, Casto, the foremost authority on responding to nuclear disasters, shares his first-hand account of how he led the collaborative team of Japanese and American experts who faced the challenges of Fukushima. A lifetime of working in the nuclear industry prepared him to manage an extreme crisis, lessons that apply to any crisis situation.

The Stationary Bionic Wavelet Transform and its Applications for ECG and Speech Processing (Signals and Communication Technology)
by Talbi MouradThis book first details a proposed Stationary Bionic Wavelet Transform (SBWT) for use in speech processing. The author then details the proposed techniques based on SBWT. These techniques are relevant to speech enhancement, speech recognition, and ECG de-noising. The techniques are then evaluated by comparing them to a number of methods existing in literature. For evaluating the proposed techniques, results are applied to different speech and ECG signals and their performances are justified from the results obtained from using objective criterion such as SNR, SSNR, PSNR, PESQ , MAE, MSE and more.
The Stationers' Company and the Printers of London, 1501-1557
by Peter W. M. BlayneyThis major, revisionist reference work explains for the first time how the Stationers Company acquired both a charter and a nationwide monopoly of printing. In the most detailed and comprehensive investigation of the London book trade in any period, Peter Blayney systematically documents the story from 1501, when printing first established permanent roots inside the City boundaries, until the Stationers' Company was incorporated by royal charter in 1557. Having exhaustively re-examined original sources and scoured numerous archives unexplored by others in the field, Blayney radically revises accepted beliefs about such matters as the scale of native production versus importation, privileges and patents, and the regulation of printing by the Church, Crown, and City. His persistent focus on individuals - most notably the families, rivals, and successors of Richard Pynson, John Rastell, and Robert Redman - keeps this study firmly grounded in the vivid lives and careers of early Tudor Londoners.

Statistical Analysis of Network Data with R (Use R! #65)
by Eric D. Kolaczyk Gábor CsárdiThe new edition of this book provides an easily accessible introduction to the statistical analysis of network data using R. It has been fully revised and can be used as a stand-alone resource in which multiple R packages are used to illustrate how to conduct a wide range of network analyses, from basic manipulation and visualization, to summary and characterization, to modeling of network data. The central package is igraph, which provides extensive capabilities for studying network graphs in R. The new edition of this book includes an overhaul to recent changes in igraph. The material in this book is organized to flow from descriptive statistical methods to topics centered on modeling and inference with networks, with the latter separated into two sub-areas, corresponding first to the modeling and inference of networks themselves, and then, to processes on networks. The book begins by covering tools for the manipulation of network data. Next, it addresses visualization and characterization of networks. The book then examines mathematical and statistical network modeling. This is followed by a special case of network modeling wherein the network topology must be inferred. Network processes, both static and dynamic are addressed in the subsequent chapters. The book concludes by featuring chapters on network flows, dynamic networks, and networked experiments. Statistical Analysis of Network Data with R, 2nd Ed. has been written at a level aimed at graduate students and researchers in quantitative disciplines engaged in the statistical analysis of network data, although advanced undergraduates already comfortable with R should find the book fairly accessible as well.

Statistical and Fuzzy Approaches to Data Processing, with Applications to Econometrics and Other Areas: In Honor of Hung T. Nguyen's 75th Birthday (Studies in Computational Intelligence #892)
by Vladik KreinovichMainly focusing on processing uncertainty, this book presents state-of-the-art techniques and demonstrates their use in applications to econometrics and other areas. Processing uncertainty is essential, considering that computers – which help us understand real-life processes and make better decisions based on that understanding – get their information from measurements or from expert estimates, neither of which is ever 100% accurate. Measurement uncertainty is usually described using probabilistic techniques, while uncertainty in expert estimates is often described using fuzzy techniques. Therefore, it is important to master both techniques for processing data. This book is highly recommended for researchers and students interested in the latest results and challenges in uncertainty, as well as practitioners who want to learn how to use the corresponding state-of-the-art techniques.

Statistical Diagnostics of Electric Power Equipment (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #573)
by Vitalii Babak Sergii Babak Artur ZaporozhetsThis book considers the issues of constructing mathematical probabilistic models of diagnostic signals, the development of statistical methods of their analysis in order to make diagnostic decisions and, finally, the technical implementation of the proposed diagnostic methods. Following the concept of primacy of the mathematical model of the diagnostic signal, the authors considered it expedient to consider first of all the questions connected with the theory of random processes possessing infinitely divisible distribution laws, linear and linear periodic random processes. Considerable attention is paid to the issues of simulation modeling of diagnostic signals and their statistical evaluation. Modern element base and new information technologies allowed to develop, build and practically test a number of experimental samples of information-measuring systems of statistical diagnostics of electric power engineering objects. Among these IMS, the systems are realized by means of unmanned diagnostic complexes, and also IMS of vibrodiagnostics of moving units of electric machines represents an important role. A large amount of experimental research has shown the operability and efficiency of the built IMS samples. Particular attention is paid to the selection of diagnostic spaces, formation of training sets, construction of solving rules for diagnosis and classification of EE defects. The authors do not pretend to a comprehensive consideration of the issues of EE diagnostics using statistical methods and IMS realized on their basis. At the same time, the results of researches, stated in this monograph, were a natural continuation of the subject of application of statistical methods in the field of control, monitoring and diagnostics for objects of electric power industry.
Statistical Downscaling for Hydrological and Environmental Applications
by Taesam Lee Vijay P. SinghGlobal climate change is typically understood and modeled using global climate models (GCMs), but the outputs of these models in terms of hydrological variables are only available on coarse or large spatial and time scales, while finer spatial and temporal resolutions are needed to reliably assess the hydro-environmental impacts of climate change. To reliably obtain the required resolutions of hydrological variables, statistical downscaling is typically employed. Statistical Downscaling for Hydrological and Environmental Applications presents statistical downscaling techniques in a practical manner so that both students and practitioners can readily utilize them. Numerous methods are presented, and all are illustrated with practical examples. The book is written so that no prior background in statistics is needed, and it will be useful to graduate students, college faculty, and researchers in hydrology, hydroclimatology, agricultural and environmental sciences, and watershed management. It will also be of interest to environmental policymakers at the local, state, and national levels, as well as readers interested in climate change and its related hydrologic impacts. Features: Examines how to model hydrological events such as extreme rainfall, floods, and droughts at the local, watershed level. Explains how to properly correct for significant biases with the observational data normally found in current Global Climate Models (GCMs). Presents temporal downscaling from daily to hourly with a nonparametric approach. Discusses the myriad effects of climate change on hydrological processes.
