It accompanies children during their initiation into adulthood and thereby deepens their knowledge of the cultural code based on the Greek and Roman heritage. It enables intergenerational communication, with the reception of the Classics being able to serve as a marker of transformations underway in societies the world over. The team of contributors from Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand focuses on the reception of mythical creatures as the key to these transformations, including the changes in human mentality. The volume gathers the results of a stage of the programme 'Our Mythical Childhood', supported by an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Alumni Award for Innovative Networking Initiatives and an ERC Consolidator Grant. Thanks to the multidisciplinary character of its research (Classics, Modern Philologies, Animal Studies) and to the universal importance of the theme of childhood, the volume offers stimulating reading for scholars, students, and educators, as well as for a wider audience. 410 0$aStudien zur europa?ischen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur ;$vBand 8. 606 $aChildren's literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aYoung adult literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aChildren's literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aYoung adult literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.89282 700 $aMarciniak$b Katarzyna$f1978-$01367544 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910724331303321 996 $aChasing mythical beasts$93390970 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02624oam 2200457 450 001 9910437930003321 005 20190911112725.0 010 $a3-319-02393-4 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-02393-9 035 $a(OCoLC)870639757 035 $a(MiFhGG)GVRL6YOU 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000024352 100 $a20130903d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun|---uuuua 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aImproving the stability of meshed power networks $ea probabilistic approach using embedded HVDC lines /$fRobin Preece 205 $a1st ed. 2013. 210 1$aCham, Switzerland :$cSpringer,$d2013. 215 $a1 online resource (xxi, 188 pages) $cillustrations (some color) 225 1 $aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 300 $a"ISSN: 2190-5053." 311 $a3-319-02392-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction -- Power System Modelling and Analysis Techniques -- The Effects of HVDC Lines on Power System Stability -- Assessing the Robustness of Controllers -- Modal Estimation using the Probabilistic Collocation Method -- Probabilistic Tuning of Damping Controllers -- Conclusions and Future Work. 330 $aThe work in this thesis proposes the innovative use of modern technologies and mathematical techniques to analyse and control future power systems. It exploits new enabling technologies such as Voltage Source Converter High Voltage Direct Current (VSC-HVDC) lines, both single and multi-terminal, and Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) to reduce the risks of instability associated with greater utilisation of modern power systems. New control systems for these technologies have been analysed, and subsequently designed, using advanced probabilistic analysis techniques to ensure that they are robust to the variable and turbulent conditions expected in the future. The advanced probabilistic techniques used in the thesis for both system analysis and controller design represent one of the first such applications in open literature. 410 0$aSpringer theses. 606 $aElectric power distribution 606 $aElectric network analyzers 615 0$aElectric power distribution. 615 0$aElectric network analyzers. 676 $a621.3192 700 $aPreece$b Robin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0981956 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437930003321 996 $aImproving the Stability of Meshed Power Networks$92241090 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01857nam 2200361z- 450 001 9910623992603321 005 20221105 010 $a3-95490-622-8 035 $a(CKB)5690000000056614 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/93438 035 $a(oapen)doab93438 035 $a(EXLCZ)995690000000056614 100 $a20202211d2019 |y 0 101 0 $ager 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aDas dynamische Sein bei Nicolaus Cusanus$eEin Beitrag zur Begriffsgeschichte der dynamischen Ontologie 210 $cDr. Ludwig Reichert Verlag Wiesbaden$d2019 215 $a1 online resource (344 p.) 225 1 $aScrinium Friburgense 311 08$a3-95490-404-7 330 $aEsse est movere - to be is to move. Contrary to our static notions of medieval philosophy, Nicolaus Cusanus in the 15th century sketches a dynamic view of the world in which creatures are independent and self-acting beings. For the elaboration of this dynamic ontology, the study offers a concept-historical analysis of dynamics: the dynamis of the Aristotelian doctrine of movement leads via the Neoplatonic 'force' and the 'divine omnipotence' of the patristic period to the medieval potentia. The philosophical starting point is contemporary process philosophy, for which Cusanus' dynamic approach certainly represents an opportunity. 517 $aDynamische Sein bei Nicolaus Cusanus 606 $aTime periods qualifiers$2bicssc 610 $aMiddle Ages; Literature; Aristotle; Dynamics; Mediaevistics; Process Philosophis 615 7$aTime periods qualifiers 700 $aBayard$b Marc$4auth$01290760 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910623992603321 996 $aDas dynamische Sein bei Nicolaus Cusanus$93021594 997 $aUNINA
