"When an overpressure event occurs in the piping or facility, an automated on--off safety valve shuts down the system immediately. Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs) are included in the design of processing facilities to protect assets such as piping and vessels by relieving system pressures during abnormal plant conditions. PSVs are safety-critical devices, and there may easily be hundreds of them installed on a plant depending on the size and complexity of same. In most countries, industries are legally required to protect pressure vessels and other equipment by using relief valves. Also, in most countries, equipment design codes such as those provided by the ASME, API and other organizations like ISO (ISO 4126) must be complied with. These codes include design standards for relief valves and schedules for periodic inspection and testing after valves have been removed by the company engineer"--

Understand the metasurface revolution in electronic warfare Electronic warfare (EW) ensures to one's forces the safe usage of the electromagnetic spectrum while denying it to adversaries. Modern warfare is an extraordinarily fluid and dynamic activity, with numerous involved systems reconfigurable at the front or back ends. Metasurfaces, however, are artificially engineered surfaces that promise to take this dynamism to unprecedented levels by making platforms (aircraft, vessels, etc.) and the environment itself reconfigurable-a revolution that even major EW authorities have yet to fully comprehend. Metasurface-driven Electronic Warfare outlines the parameters of this revolution and its transformative potential in the EW space. Beginning with a historical overview of the EW dynamism, it then provides the electromagnetics basics to understand metasurfaces, their operation mechanisms, and capacity for shaping electromagnetic waves. Thereafter a series of detailed studies of metasurface applications in EW makes this an indispensable guide to an increasingly dynamic battlefield. Readers will also find: Clear cost-benefit analyses of metasurface substitutions in modern EW scenarios Detailed discussion of metasurface applications including stealth, electronic support, electronic attack, electronic protection, their use in drone swarms, smart environments, and more Simulations of EW scenarios with accompanying MATLAB codes and exercises Metasurface-driven Electronic Warfare is ideal for EW analysts, specialists, and operators, as well as signals intelligence and electrical engineering researchers and students. Because it covers the essentials in both areas, the book is also appropriate to support graduate courses on metasurfaces or EW.

"I find it impossible to describe how targeted cancer treatments work without mentioning what it is they target. And when I try to explain what it is they target, I find myself going back to the beginning and explaining where cancers come from, what faults they contain, and why they behave as they do. And, to explain that, I need to explain concepts such as DNA damage, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and the hallmarks of cancer cells. In recent years, we've also made great progress in using a patient's immune system to treat cancer using immunotherapy. When explaining how immunotherapies work, I find it useful to offer at least a brief description of our immune system and the ways in which cancer cells and white blood cells interact. Armed with this knowledge, various strategies to use the immune system to destroy cancer cells begin to make sense. In this chapter, my goal is to bring together much of this background knowledge. I hope it will provide you with a useful foundation that enables you to understand individual targeted therapies and immunotherapies that I mention in later chapters"--

Multilevel converters have gained attention in recent years for medium/high voltage and high power industrial and residential applications. The main advantages of multilevel converters over two level converters include less voltage stress on power semiconductors, low dv/dt, low common voltage, reduced electromagnetic interference, and low total harmonics distortion, among others. Better output power quality is ensured by increasing the number of levels in the synthesized output voltage waveform. Several multilevel topologies have been reported in the literature, such as neutral point clamped (NPC), flying capacitor (FC), cascaded H-bridge (CHB), hybrid cascaded H-bridge, asymmetrical cascaded H-bridge, modular multilevel converters (MMC), active neutral point clamped converters (ANPC), and packed U-cell type converters and various reduced device counts and a reduced number of source-based topologies have been proposed in literature. The multilevel converter, although a proven and enabling technology, still presents numerous challenges in topologies, modulation, and control, as well as in need-based applications. Since multilevel converters offer a wide range of possibilities, research and development in the areas of multilevel converter topologies, modulation, and control in various applications are still growing. To further improve multilevel converter energy efficiency, reliability, power density, and cost, many research groups across the world are working to broaden the application areas of multilevel converters and make them more attractive and competitive compared to classic topologies. Recent Advances and Industrial Applications of Multilevel Converters intends to provide deep insight about multilevel converter operation, modulation, and control strategies and various recent applications of multilevel converters such as in variable speed drives, renewable energy generation, and power systems.
