Two schools of thought now exist in security studies: traditionalists want to restrict the subject to politico-military issues; while wideners want to extend it to the economic, societal and environmental sectors. This book sets out a comprehensive statement of the new security studies, establishing the case for the broader agenda. The authors argue that security is a particular type of politics applicable to a wide range of issues. Answering the traditionalists charge that this model makes the subject incoherent, they offer a constructivist operational method for distinguishing the process of

This volume builds on the success of the first edition of Imaging Pelvic Floor Disorders and is aimed at those practitioners with an interest in the imaging, diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction. Concise textual information from acknowledged experts is complemented by high-quality diagrams and images to provide a thorough update of this rapidly evolving field. Introductory chapters fully elucidate the anatomical basis underlying disorders of the pelvic floor. State of the art imaging techniques and their application in pelvic floor dysfunction are then discussed in detail. Addit

The book provides an in depth coverage of power system operation in the deregulated electricity market environment. Basic principles of power system operation and economics have been discussed with an emphasis on recent research in the area. Other features include coverage of a wide spectrum of issues such as: + Role of the ISO in pool type vis-a-vis the bilateral markets; + Generation scheduling in deregulation + Transmission pricing; + Congestion management; + Ancillary services management; + Reliability in deregulated power systems; + Voltage

This is the first book to develop a decision support methodology for strategic environmental decision problems, and provides several generic as well as specific tools. The proposed methodology is based on modelling the underlying physical and economic processing. These substantial models are used for single criterion optimization and for multi-objective model analysis based on the reference point approach. It is shown that in this way learning and decision processes may be supported, using concepts like soft constraints, inverse simulation and search for compromise solution.
