Overview: High quality survey volume on robot control theory.Dedicated to Suguru Arimoto, Ritsumeikan University, Japan, who is turning 70 next year and has been one of the major contributors in this areaRobotics is still a young science, but we can already identify the people who de?ned its primary course of development. Suguru Arimoto is one of them. His early works laid the foundations of what nowadays is called modern robot control, and we believe it is both appropriate and necessary to write a book on recent advances in this ?eld in the context of his scienti?c interests. While presenting

Overview: In this book, the discussion of the normal and pathological aspects of anxiety is critically examined. A chapter on the molecular basis of anxiety is included, outlining the potential of such approach in the discovery of novel effective pharmacological interventions. The face validity, predictability and usefulness of animal models in the design of valid new efficacious products are discussed. Separate chapters dedicated to each particular type of anxiety such as generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, posttraumatic stress disorder, panic and obsessive-compulive disorder are inc

Overview: Includes supplementary material: During the last decade enormous progress has been achieved in the field of computational fluid dynamics. This became possible by the development of robust and high-order accurate numerical algorithms as well as the construc­ tion of enhanced computer hardware, e. g. , parallel and vector architectures, workstation clusters. All these improvements allow the numerical simulation of real world problems arising for instance in automotive and aviation indus­ try. Nowadays numerical simulations may be considered as an indispensable tool in the design of eng
