Sommario/riassunto |

The 2010 WikiLeaks release of 250,000 U.S. diplomatic cables has made it eminently clear that there is a vast gulf between the public face of diplomacy and the opinions and actions that take place behind embassy doors. In At Home with the Diplomats, Iver B. Neumann offers unprecedented access to the inner workings of a foreign ministry. Neumann worked for several years at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he had an up-close view of how diplomats conduct their business and how they perceive their own practices. In this book he shows us how diplomacy is conducted on a day-to-day basis.Approaching contemporary diplomacy from an anthropological |

perspective, Neumann examines the various aspects of diplomatic work and practice, including immunity, permanent representation, diplomatic sociability, accreditation, and issues of gender equality. Neumann shows that the diplomat working abroad and the diplomat at home are engaged in two different modes of knowledge production. Diplomats in the field focus primarily on gathering and processing information. In contrast, the diplomat based in his or her home capital is caught up in the seemingly endless production of texts: reports, speeches, position papers, and the like. Neumann leaves the reader with a keen sense of the practices of diplomacy: relations with foreign ministries, mediating between other people's positions while integrating personal and professional into a cohesive whole, adherence to compulsory routines and agendas, and, above all, the generation of knowledge. Yet even as they come to master such "idian tasks, diplomats are regularly called upon to do exceptional things, such as negotiating peace. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book focuses on the low-frequency oscillation between EMUs and traction networks in high-speed Railways. As the power source of high-speed trains, the traction network's power performance directly affects the safe and stable operation of the train. However, the low-frequency oscillation between EMUs and traction networks will fluctuate voltage or current, resulting in poor power quality, electrical device failure, and even interruption of traction power. Therefore, it is important to reveal the mechanism of low-frequency oscillation and propose suppression strategies. This book systematically shows the newest research results of analysis and suppression of low-frequency oscillation between EMUs and traction networks in high-speed railways, especially in the modeling methods of vehicle-grid systems and suppression strategies for low-frequency oscillation. These methods or strategies can provide important references and help for researchers, scholars, and engineers on traction power technology in high-speed railways. The main contents include the overview of low-frequency oscillation between EMUs and traction networks, the introduction of main modeling methods for vehicle-grid systems, especially single-phase rectifiers, the line-side converter control algorithms in vehicles for the suppression of low-frequency oscillation, the traction substation power compensation strategies for the suppression of low-frequency oscillation, etc. |
