Book Description
There are many reasons to be curious about the way people learn, and the past several decades have seen an explosion of research that has important implications for individual learning, schooling, workforce training, and policy. In 2000, How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition was published and its influence has been wide and deep. The report summarized insights on the nature of learning in school-aged children; described principles for the design of effective learning environments; and provided examples of how that could be implemented in the classroom. Since then, researchers have continued to investigate the nature of learning and have generated new findings related to the neurological processes involved in learning, individual and cultural variability related to learning, and educational technologies. In addition to expanding scientific understanding of the mechanisms of learning and how the brain adapts throughout the lifespan, there have been important discoveries about influences on learning, particularly sociocultural factors and the structure of learning environments. How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts, and Cultures provides a much-needed update incorporating insights gained from this research over the past decade. The book expands on the foundation laid out in the 2000 report and takes an in-depth look at the constellation of influences that affect individual learning. How People Learn II will become an indispensable resource to understand learning throughout the lifespan for educators of students and adults.

Book Description
Abstract: General guidelines and criteria for the field testing of static var compensators (SVCs), before they are placed in-service, for the purpose of verifying their specified performance are described. The major elements of a commissioning program are identified so that the user can formulate a specific plan that is most suited for his or her own SVC. Keywords: IEEE 1303, mvar, static var compensator, SVC, var, field tests.

Book Description
Abstract: Information of special relevance to planning, design, testing, installation, operation and maintenance of gas-insulated substations (GIS) and equipment is provided in this guide, which is intended to supplement IEEE Std C37.122. This guide is applicable to all gas-insulated substations (GIS) above 52 kV. However, the importance of topics covered varies with application category. For example, the issues related to advanced field test techniques and very fast transients (VFT) are of particular interest for extrahigh voltage (EHV) gas-insulated substations (GIS). Keywords: gas-insulated metal enclosed switchgear, gas-insulated substation, gas-insulated switchgear, GIS, GIS design, GIS equipment, GIS installation, GIS testing, IEEE C37.122, SF6, sulfur hexafluoride, VFT, very fast transient, partial discharge, PD.
