Sommario/riassunto

This volume, like its companion, Voices of Our Times, collects essays drawn from a series of public conferences held in autumn 2011 entitled “More than a Monologue.” The series was the fruit of collaboration among four institutions of higher learning: two Catholic universities and two nondenominational divinity schools. The conferences aimed to raise awareness of and advance informed, compassionate, and dialogical conversation about issues of sexual diversity within the Catholic community, as well as in the broader civic worlds that the Catholic Church and Catholic people inhabit. They generated fresh, rich sets of scholarly and reflective contributions that promise to take forward the delicate work of theological-ethical and ecclesial development. Along with Voices of Our Times, this volume captures insights from the conferences and aims to foster what the Jesuit Superior General, Fr. Adolfo Nicolas, has called the “depth of thought and imagination” needed to engage effectively with complex realities, especially in areas marked by brokenness, pain, and the need for healing. The volumes will serve as vital resources for understanding and addressing better the too often fraught relations between LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) persons, their loved ones and allies, and the Catholic community. Inquiry, Thought, and Expression explores dimensions of ministry, ethics, theology, and law related to a range of LGBTQ concerns, including Catholic teaching, its reception among the faithful, and the Roman Catholic Church’s significant role in world societies. Within the volume, a series of essays on ministry explores various perspectives not frequently heard within the church. Marriage equality and the treatment of LGBTQ individuals by and within the Roman Catholic Church are considered from the vantage points of law, ethics, and theology. Themes of language and discourse are explored in analyses of the place of sexual diversity in church history, thought, and authority. The two volumes of More than a Monologue, like the conferences from which they developed, actively move beyond the monologic voice of the institutional church on the subject of LGBTQ issues, inviting and promoting open conversations about sexual diversity and the church. Those who read Inquiry, Thought, and Expression will encounter not just an excellent resource for research and teaching in the area of moral theology but also an opportunity to actively listen to and engage in groundbreaking discussions about faith and sexuality within and outside the Catholic Church.

Sommario/riassunto

Since the publication of the first edition of this book, wide-area measurement systems (WAMS) have transformed the way that power system oscillations are monitored and studied. These systems consist of networks of time-synchronized sensors distributed over wide geographic areas—enabling new approaches not only for situational awareness but also for power system control. This fully revised and expanded edition discusses the core ideas behind WAMS, real-time situational awareness, and wide-area control as they pertain to power system oscillations. Major technological advancements since the first edition's release are covered in five new chapters. This new material highlights a first-of-its-kind demonstration project in which a 3.1 GW high-voltage direct current transmission line was used to damp inter-area oscillations in a large interconnection. It also discusses oscillations in systems dominated by inverter-based generation, including forced oscillations, which arise not from resonances but exogenous system inputs. The book includes many worked examples throughout the text using the Power System Toolbox with MATLAB, allowing readers to analyze and/or reproduce every example independently. Power System Oscillations, Second Edition, will be a valuable reference for practicing power system engineers working in the electric utility industry. Professors, students, and research scientists studying power system dynamics will also find it to be a welcomed reference text. Provides a foundation in the theory of electromechanical oscillations; Covers the fundamentals of wide-area measurement systems (WAMS); Includes MATLAB-based software and scripts.
