Synopsis Enhancing the Resilience of the Nation's Electricity System by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

Americans' safety, productivity, comfort, and convenience depend on the reliable supply of electric power. The electric power system is a complex "cyber-physical" system composed of a network of millions of components spread out across the continent. These components are owned, operated, and regulated by thousands of different entities. Power system operators work hard to assure safe and reliable service, but large outages occasionally happen. Given the nature of the system, there is simply no way that outages can be completely avoided, no matter how much time and money is devoted to such an effort. The system's reliability and resilience can be improved but never made perfect. Thus, system owners, operators, and regulators must prioritize their investments based on potential benefits. Enhancing the Resilience of the Nation's Electricity System focuses on identifying, developing, and implementing strategies to increase the power system's resilience in the face of events that can cause large-area, long-duration outages: blackouts that extend over multiple service areas and last several days or longer. Resilience is not just about lessening the likelihood that these outages will occur. It is also about limiting the scope and impact of outages when they do occur, restoring power rapidly afterwards, and learning from these experiences to better deal with events in the future.

Synopsis 2018 Nuclear Posture Review by : United States. Department of Defense

On January 27, 2017, President Donald Trump directed Secretary of Defense James Mattis to initiate a new Nuclear Posture Review (NPR). The President made clear that his first priority is to protect the United States, allies, and partners. He also emphasized both the long-term goal of eliminating nuclear weapons and the requirement that the United States have modern, flexible, and resilient nuclear capabilities that are safe and secure until such a time as nuclear weapons can prudently be eliminated from the world.The United States remains committed to its efforts in support of the ultimate global elimination of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. It has reduced the nuclear stockpile by over 85 percent since the height of the Cold War and deployed no new nuclear capabilities for over two decades. Nevertheless, global threat conditions have worsened markedly since the most recent 2010 NPR, including increasingly explicit nuclear threats from potential adversaries. The United States now faces a more diverse and advanced nuclear-threat environment than ever before, with considerable dynamism in potential adversaries' development and deployment programs for nuclear weapons and delivery systems.

Synopsis Thinking about Deterrence by : Air Univeristy Press

With many scholars and analysts questioning the relevance of deterrence as a valid strategic concept, this volume moves beyond Cold War nuclear deterrence to show the many ways in which deterrence is applicable to contemporary security. It examines the possibility of applying deterrence theory and practice to space, to cyberspace, and against non-state actors. It also examines the role of nuclear deterrence in the twenty-first century and reaches surprising conclusions.

Synopsis Advanced Battery Materials by : Chunwen Sun

This book details the latest R&D in electrochemical energy storage technologies for portable electronics and electric vehicle applications. During the past three decades, great progress has been made in R & D of various batteries in terms of energy density increase and cost reduction. One of the biggest challenges is increasing the energy density to achieve longer endurance time. In this book, recent research and development in advanced electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage devices is covered. Topics covered in this important book include: Carbon anode materials for sodium-ion batteries Lithium titanate-based lithium-ion batteries Rational material design and performance optimization of transition metal oxide-based lithium ion battery anodes Effects of graphene on the electrochemical properties of the electrode of lithium ion batteries Silicon-based lithium-ion battery anodes Mo-based anode materials for alkali metal ion batteries Lithium-sulfur batteries Graphene in Lithium-Ion/Lithium-Sulfur Batteries Graphene-ionic liquid supercapacitors Battery electrodes based on carbon species and conducting polymers Doped graphene for electrochemical energy storage systems Processing of graphene oxide for enhanced electrical properties

Synopsis Navy Virginia (SSN-774) Class Attack Submarine Procurement by : Ronald O'Rourke

The Navy has been procuring Virginia (SSN-774) class nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs) at a rate of one per year for the past several years, and a total of 11 boats have been procured through FY2009. This report discusses the Navy's proposed FY2010 budget, which requests $1,964.3 million in procurement funding to complete the procurement cost of a 12th Virginia-class boats.
