Download or read book Multi Province Electrical Code Simplified written by Peter Slim Knight and published by . This book was released on 2009-07-31 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will be based on the Canadian Electrical Code without any Provincial Amendments. Straight talk on the rules. Electrical Code Simplified books were written by an electrical inspector. Reliability - Electrical Code Simplified Books have been used for more than twenty years by more than a million installers. Enjoyable - Installing electrical wiring should be easy, it should be fun, and it should be a money saving experience. Simplified Instructions - With the detailed instructions and illustrations given in this book anyone handy with tools can undertake to install part, or all the wiring, in his or her own house. Every step is clearly illustrated. Proven Instructions -With this book you will follow time proven instructions developed over many years by many electrical contractors. You will produce a professional installation that you will be proud of. Clarity - these books speak clearly to the point. The legalese used in the Code is replaced with easily understandable explanations. Safety - The Electrical Code is the minimum standard permitted for any electrical wiring installation. This Code has been developed over many years by countless professional electricians who were concerned to make house wiring safe. Code rules - Instruction books which do not reference the appropriate Code standards can be misleading and dangerous. Such instructions cannot be easily verified to insure they are in fact safe. Electrical Code Simplified books do provide such Code rule references. Every step is shown to be carefully planned and illustrated to insure your installation will be installed correctly. Coverage - This book begins with service size. This is critical in wiring a new house, and, whenever any new load is being added to an existing service. The book shows how to determine the size of service you will require for the total load. From there it deals with each step as you install the new wiring. Code rules are given so that every detail can be supported by the official safety rules. A very important feature in this book is the large number of illustrations used to clarify detail. Who needs this book - Anyone installing electrical wiring in a residence is required to know the electrical Code rules to insure a safe installation. If the installation will be inspected, (technically, all installations of any size are required to be inspected) it must pass, or the installer may be asked to pay a penalty. Often the penalty is at least three times the cost of this book. If it will not be inspected then it is critical the installer has a copy of this book. Safety, in any electrical installation, is the first point of concern. Electrical Code Simplified is the only book that can meet this tough standard. It is a fully proven product. For the Student - A typical exam, complete with answers, is located at the end of the book. The student will find this an invaluable tool to determine where more training is needed. Find the answers - The index makes it easy to find the answers to technical questions usually encountered in residential installations.

Download or read book The Multi Agent Transport Simulation MATSim written by Andreas Horni and published by Ubiquity Press. This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The MATSim (Multi-Agent Transport Simulation) software project was started around 2006 with the goal of generating traffic and congestion patterns by following individual synthetic travelers through their daily or weekly activity programme. It has since then evolved from a collection of stand-alone C++ programs to an integrated Java-based framework which is publicly hosted, open-source available, automatically regression tested. It is currently used by about 40 groups throughout the world. This book takes stock of the current status. The first part of the book gives an introduction to the most important concepts, with the intention of enabling a potential user to set up and run basic simulations. The second part of the book describes how the basic functionality can be extended, for example by adding schedule-based public transit, electric or autonomous cars, paratransit, or within-day replanning. For each extension, the text provides pointers to the additional documentation and to the code base. It is also discussed how people with appropriate Java programming skills can write their own extensions, and plug them into the MATSim core. The project has started from the basic idea that traffic is a consequence of human behavior, and thus humans and their behavior should be the starting point of all modelling, and with the intuition that when simulations with 100 million particles are possible in computational physics, then behavior-oriented simulations with 10 million travelers should be possible in travel behavior research. The initial implementations thus combined concepts from computational physics and complex adaptive systems with concepts from travel behavior research. The third part of the book looks at theoretical concepts that are able to describe important aspects of the simulation system; for example, under certain conditions the code becomes a Monte Carlo engine sampling from a discrete choice model. Another important aspect is the interpretation of the MATSim score as utility in the microeconomic sense, opening up a connection to benefit cost analysis. Finally, the book collects use cases as they have been undertaken with MATSim. All current users of MATSim were invited to submit their work, and many followed with sometimes crisp and short and sometimes longer contributions, always with pointers to additional references. We hope that the book will become an invitation to explore, to build and to extend agent-based modeling of travel behavior from the stable and well tested core of MATSim documented here.

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Download or read book Democratizing Innovation written by Eric Von Hippel and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2006-02-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of user-centered innovation: how it can benefit both users and manufacturers and how its emergence will bring changes in business models and in public policy. Innovation is rapidly becoming democratized. Users, aided by improvements in computer and communications technology, increasingly can develop their own new products and services. These innovating users—both individuals and firms—often freely share their innovations with others, creating user-innovation communities and a rich intellectual commons. In Democratizing Innovation, Eric von Hippel looks closely at this emerging system of user-centered innovation. He explains why and when users find it profitable to develop new products and services for themselves, and why it often pays users to reveal their innovations freely for the use of all.The trend toward democratized innovation can be seen in software and information products—most notably in the free and open-source software movement—but also in physical products. Von Hippel's many examples of user innovation in action range from surgical equipment to surfboards to software security features. He shows that product and service development is concentrated among "lead users," who are ahead on marketplace trends and whose innovations are often commercially attractive. Von Hippel argues that manufacturers should redesign their innovation processes and that they should systematically seek out innovations developed by users. He points to businesses—the custom semiconductor industry is one example—that have learned to assist user-innovators by providing them with toolkits for developing new products. User innovation has a positive impact on social welfare, and von Hippel proposes that government policies, including R&D subsidies and tax credits, should be realigned to eliminate biases against it. The goal of a democratized user-centered innovation system, says von Hippel, is well worth striving for. An electronic version of this book is available under a Creative Commons license.
