Strength and Conditioning for the Human Weapon System
A central focus of the US Military is the Human Weapon System (HWS) and the optimization of this weapon system. Over the past decade, the Department of Defence has invested in programs termed Human Performance Optimization (HPO) programs. Human performance for the human weapon system is much different than the civilian athlete. Therefore, the human weapon system's rehabilitation and performance training requirements are different and must be considered. This book demonstrates the following to strength coaches and practitioners: Why to view the HWS as a multi-faceted system that requires a more inclusive program than needed by athletes. Provide updated methodology to create a strength and conditioning program specifically for the HWS populations. Introduce and define advanced strength and conditioning methodologies SC professionals use within the US Military and law enforcement performance programs.

Jet Engine Digital Twin
The learner opening this volume is presumed to have seen its predecessor, "Logic Of Propulsion" - or some equivalent first course introducing thermodynamic cycles, and the basic 1-dimensional flowpath analysis of a gas turbine cycle. This volume can be used as standalone, for the student who has come through the basic thermodynamics and compressible flow courses. Here we go into more detail on the components, whose efficiencies we assumed with approximate numbers in the 1-d flowpath. We then go into the details and some methods needed to model a Digital Twin of a jet propulsion system, while staying generally at the level of an advanced undergraduate course. A chapter on rocket propulsion precedes a discussion on various concepts, advanced or otherwise. The jet engine is approaching its first centenary while the rocket is entering its 11th: systems that smoothly integrate these concepts are not new, and may be expected to be more prevalent going forward. A chapter on flow diagnostics and one on signal processing are 'targets of opportunity'. While typical propulsion courses do not go into such things, the engineer/researcher who goes into a propulsion laboratory or operating environment swiftly finds that their job - and fun are 90% on troubleshooting, diagnostic methods, sensors and data: some basics on those are essential. A useful Propulsion Engineer, more than most other professionals, cannot survive saying: 'That's not my job!' These topics are also a big part of the Digital Twin approach.
Reinforcement Learning Meets the Power Grid
The ongoing evolution of power systems presents a multifaceted challenge, namely to ensure a safe and reliable operation amidst a dynamic and uncertain environment. This necessitates not only achieving performance objectives, but also adhering to diverse constraints encompassing operational limits, regulatory compliance, and environmental goals. For example, challenges for modern power systems include renewable energy integration, distributed resources, and complex operational requirements. This monograph examines Safe Reinforcement Learning (safe RL) as a framework for maintaining reliable power system operation while optimizing performance. Both model-free and model-based approaches are reviewed, analyzing how different safety constraints and architectures can be implemented in practice.The monograph also explores multi-agent frameworks for coordinated control in distributed settings, and examines runtime assurance methods that provide formal safety guarantees. Applications span various timescales, from frequency regulation to demand management, with different safety requirements and operational contexts. Through analysis of current simulation environments and practical implementations, remaining challenges in scaling safe RL to large power systems are identified, as well as handling uncertainty and integration with existing infrastructure.

It promotes rigorous control design methods to achieve stable closed-loop dynamics. The proposed methods offer additional benefits such as robustness to system parameter perturbations and constrained operation. The book adds successive levels of complexity in the control design process, enhancing system behavior with valuable properties. Starting with the design of a distributed control scheme for meshed microgrids that enforces both coupled and uncoupled constraints, the book moves on to: reduce conservatism of the control schemes and increase the closed-loop system's region of attraction using a geometric approach; limit system trajectories within the desired operational range by constructing control barrier functions and positive invariant sets; and facilitate the generalization of results to increase relevance beyond their origin in the control of power electronics. This book begins with an extensive introduction to relevant topics, making it accessible to recent graduates, professional engineers, and academic researchers.
