  “One of the best accounts of the reality of gentrification and urban development in China . . . grounded with solid historical, ethnographic and legal evidence” (Urban Studies). In recent decades, the centuries-old city of Shanghai has been demolished and rebuilt into a gleaming megacity. With its world famous skyscrapers, it now ranks with New York and London as a hub of global finance. But that transformation has come at a grave human cost. In Shanghai Gone, Qin Shao applies the concept of domicide—the eradication of a home against the will of its dwellers—to the sweeping destruction of neighborhoods, families, and life patterns that made way for the new Shanghai.   Shao gives voice to the holdouts and protesters who resisted domicide and demanded justice. She follows, among others, a reticent kindergarten teacher turned diehard petitioner; a descendant of gangsters and squatters who has become an amateur lawyer for evictees; and a Chinese Muslim who has struggled to recover his ancestral home in Xintiandi, an infamous site of gentrification dominated by a well-connected Hong Kong real estate tycoon.   Highlighting the wrenching changes spawned by China’s reform era, Shao vividly portrays the corrupt and rapacious pursuit of growth and profit, the personal wreckage it has left behind, and the enduring human spirit it has unleashed.

  Introduction to Power System...

  Dr. Hidaia Mahmood Alassouli

  Power system protection systems have three basic components: Instrument transformers, Relays, Circuit breakers
  
  The function of the CT is to reproduce in its secondary winding a current I' that is proportional to the primary current I. The CT converts primary currents in the kiloamp range to secondary currents in the 0–5 ampere range for convenience of measurement.
  
  The function of the relay is to discriminate between normal operation and fault conditions. The OC relay in Figure 2 has an operating coil, which is connected to the CT secondary winding, and a set of contacts. When |I'| exceeds a specified ''pickup'' value, the operating coil causes the normally open contacts to close. When the relay contacts close, the trip coil of the circuit breaker is energized, which then causes the circuit breaker to open.
  
  System-protection components have the following design criteria:
  • Reliability: Operate dependably when fault conditions occur, even after remaining idle for months or years. Failure to do so may result in costly damages.
  • Selectivity: Avoid unnecessary, false trips.
  • Speed: Operate rapidly to minimize fault duration and equipment damage. Any intentional time delays should be precise.
  • Economy: Provide maximum protection at minimum cost.
  • Simplicity: Minimize protection equipment and circuitry.
  
  Since it is impossible to satisfy all these criteria simultaneously, compromises must be made in system protection.
  
  The book consists from the following sections:
  1. Chapter 1: Power System Faults:
  2. Chapter 2: Instrument Transformers.
  3. Chapter 3: Overcurrent and Earth Fault Protection Relays.
  4. Chapter 4: Radial System Protection.
  5. Chapter 5: Zones of Protection.
  6. Chapter 6: Differential Relays.
  7. Chapter 7: Distance Relays.
  8. Chapter 8: Transformer Protection.
  9. Chapter 9: Generator Protection.
  10. Chapter 10: Busbar Protection.
  11. Chapter 11: Circuit Breakers.
  12. Chapter 12: Fuses.
  13. Chapter 13: References.

  The Exquisite Machine - The New...

  Your heart is a miracle in motion, a marvel of construction unsurpassed by any human-made creation. It beats 100,000 times every day—if you were to live to 100, that would be more than 3 billion beats across your lifespan. Despite decades  
  of effort in labs all over the world, we have not yet been able to replicate the heart’s perfect engineering. But, as Sian Harding shows us in The Exquisite Machine, new scientific developments are opening up the mysteries of the heart.  
  And this explosion of new science—ultrafast imaging, gene editing, stem cells, artificial intelligence, and advanced microscopy—has crucial, real-world consequences for health and well-being.  
   
  Harding—a world leader in cardiac research—explores the relation between the emotions and heart function, reporting that the heart not only responds to our emotions but creates them as well. The condition known as broken heart  
  syndrome, for example, is a real disorder that can follow bereavement or stress.  
   
  The Exquisite Machine describes the evolutionary forces that have shaped the heart’s response to damage, the astonishing rejuvenating power of stem cells, how we can avoid heart disease, and why it can be so hard to repair a damaged  
  heart. It tells the stories of patients who have had the devastating experiences of a heart attack, chaotic heart rhythms, or stress-induced acute heart failure. And it describes how cutting-edge technologies are enabling experiments and clinical  
  trials that will lead us to new solutions to the worldwide scourge of heart disease.

  What if running in beautiful places was paradoxically contributing to the destruction of those precious environments and causing irreversible global harm to people and animals too?
   
  In We Can’t Run Away From This, ultrarunner Damian Hall examines the impact of running in our climate and ecological emergency. Packed with insights from experts, it is an enlightening read which will prompt us all to really think about our kit, food and travel, and to identify simple changes we can make to our running and wider lives. But Damian also asks if concentrating on our individual footprints (pun unintended) is really the answer.
   
  We can’t run away from this any more, and this book will give every runner ideas about how to live and exercise more sustainably.
