This book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of tensor computation and its applications in seismic data analysis, exclusively catering to seasoned researchers, graduate students, and industrial engineers alike. Tensor emerges as a natural representation of multi-dimensional modern seismic data, and tensor computation can help prevent possible harm to the multi-dimensional geological structure of the subsurface that occurred in classical seismic data analysis.It delivers ...

This book addresses the latest findings on practical ultra-high voltage AC/DC (UHVAC/UHVDC) power transmission. Firstly, it reviews current constructions and future plans for major UHVDC and UHVAC projects around the world. The book subsequently illustrates the basic theories, economic analysis, and key technologies of UHV power networks in detail, and describes the design of the UHVAC substations and UHVDC converter stations and transmission lines. A wealth of clear and specific figures a...
