Medieval And Renaissance Book Production, Richard W. Clement

Library Faculty & Staff Publications

There is a widely held, yet erroneous, belief that the invention of the book was concurrent with the invention of printing. Somehow it is assumed that the act of printing--that is producing a book by mechanical means--endows the finished product with that essence that embodies a book. After all, the hand-produced book is called a manuscript, not simply a book, and early-printed books are called incunabula, books in their infancy. We are accustomed to think of the periods of manuscripts and printed books as distinct. Traditionally a scholar working in one of these fields has known little of the other ...

The Mediterranean: What, Why, And How, Richard W. Clement

Library Faculty & Staff Publications

Many of us who study the Mediterranean have been confronted with surprise and even disbelief that such a subject could be considered a legitimate field of study. Yet we all accept the traditional “area studies” concentrations in Latin America, the Slavic countries, the Middle East, and East Asia, among others. Why, then, is there so much resistance to the idea of Mediterranean Studies? Perhaps the fact that it is a sea and not a contained landmass, or that it represents disparate cultures, makes it seem different and less appropriate as an individual field of study. But clearly, there is a ...

Cyber Security Of The Smart Grid: Attack Exposure Analysis, Detection Algorithms, And Testbed Evaluation, Adam Hahn

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

While smart grid technologies are deployed to help achieve improved grid resiliency

and efficiency, they also present an increased dependency on cyber resources which may

be vulnerable to attack. This dissertation introduces three components that provide new

methods to enhancing the cyber security of the smart grid.

First, a quantitative exposure analysis model is presented to assess risks inherited

from the communication and computation of critical information. An attack exposure

metric is then presented to provide a quantitative means to analyze the model. The

metric's utility is then demonstrated by analyzing smart grid environments to contrast

the effectiveness of ...

These models though varied in their approach and application share a number of characteristics regarding ...
