Remodelling to Prepare for Independence: The Philippine Commonwealth, Decolonisation, Cities and Public Works, c. 1935–46 illuminates the implications of the USA’s final phase of colonial rule in the Philippine Islands. It explores the Filipino side of decolonisation and the management of the built environment in the years immediately prior to self-rule. This book shakes off the collaboration vs. resistance paradigm that empire histories generally follow and consequently yields an original vantage point to comprehend transition within an Asian society in the years immediately prior to, during, and after World War Two. This will not only deepen insight of the American Empire, but also grants the opportunity to tie Philippine political-cultural change to the global history of urban planning’s advancement. Accordingly, it opens a new window to rethink Filipino ethno-history and societal evolution, alongside the opportunity to compare the Philippines with other nations that undertook planning projects as part of their decolonisation process and early-postcolonial advancement. The book utilises theoretical frames in order to help creatively excavate the era 1935–46 for the purpose of not just revealing what public works occurred, but to also uncover what those projects meant to the Commonwealth Government, the BPW’s staff, and the public who benefitted from public works projects. The book will be relevant to students and researchers of Urban History, Asian and American (Empire) History, and Imperial and Colonial Studies. Architects, planners, and members of the public who are interested in the form and meaning of urban environments designed/constructed in the past will also find the publication to be of great interest.

Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning Comprehensive treatment of an aspect of stability constrained operations and planning, including the latest research and engineering practices Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning focuses on the subject of power system stability. Unlike other books in this field, which focus mainly on the dynamic modeling, stability analysis, and controller design for power systems, this book is instead dedicated to stability-constrained optimization methodologies for power system stability enhancement, including transient stability-constrained power system dispatch and operational control, and voltage stability-constrained dynamic VAR Resources planning in the power grid. Authored by experts with established track records in both research and industry, Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning covers three parts: Overview of power system stability, including definition, classification, phenomenon, mathematical models and analysis tools for stability assessment, as well as a review of recent large-scale blackouts in the world Transient stability-constrained optimal power flow (TSC-OPF) and transient stability constrained-unit commitment (TSC-UC) for power system dispatch and operational control, including a series of optimization model formulations, transient stability constraint construction and extraction methods, and efficient solution approaches Optimal planning of dynamic VAR Resources (such as STATCOM and SVC) in power system for voltage stability enhancement, including a set of voltage stability indices, candidate bus selection methods, multi-objective optimization model formulations, and high-quality solution approaches Stability-Constrained Optimization for Modern Power System Operation and Planning provides the latest research findings to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students who are seeking optimization methodologies for power system stability enhancement, while also offering key practical methods to power system operators, planners, and optimization algorithm developers in the power industry.

Using a friendly, nontechnical approach, the Second Edition of Regression Basics introduces readers to the fundamentals of regression. Accessible to anyone with an introductory statistics background, this book builds from a simple two-variable model to a model of greater complexity. Author Leo H. Kahane weaves four engaging examples throughout the text to illustrate not only the techniques of regression but also how this empirical tool can be applied in creative ways to consider a broad array of topics. New to the Second Edition • Offers greater coverage of simple panel-data estimation: Because the availability of panel data has increased over the past decade, this new edition includes coverage of estimation with multiple cross-sections of data across time. • Provides an introductory discussion of omitted variables bias: As a problem that frequently arises, this issue is important for those new to regression analysis to understand. • Includes up-to-date advances: Chapter 7 is expanded to include recent developments in regression. • Uses a diverse selection of examples: Engaging examples illustrate the wide application of regression analysis from baseball salaries to presidential voting to British crime rates to U.S. abortion rates and more. • Includes more end-of-chapter problems: This edition offers new questions at the end of chapters that are based on the new examples woven through the book. • Illustrates examples using software programs: Appendix B now includes screenshots to further aid readers working with Microsoft Excel® and SPSS. Intended Audience This is an ideal core or supplemental text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses such as Regression and Correlation, Sociological Research Methods, Quantitative Research Methods, and Statistical Methods in the fields of economics, public policy, political science, sociology, public affairs, urban planning, education, and geography.
