Overview: .The control of reactivity to achieve specific syntheses is one of the overarching goals of organic chemistry. In the decade since the publication of the third edition, major advances have been made in the development of efficient new methods, particularly catalytic processes, and in means for control of reaction stereochemistry. .This volume assumes a level of familiarity with structural and mechanistic concepts comparable to that in the companion volume, .Part. .A, Structures and Mechanisms.. Together, the two volumes are intended to provide the advanced undergraduate or beginning

Overview: A decade ago, Advances in Clinical Child Psychology was conceived to provide approximately annual updates on the forward edge of research and practice in this rapidly growing field. A look back at the 56 chapters published in previous volumes provides a broad overview of the direc­ tion of advancement in clinical child psychology, at least as viewed by one collection of editors, consulting editors, and authors. The trends are clear: There have been decreasing numbers of advances in modes and methods of therapy, an increasing emphasis on the family, a renewed interest in experimental

Overview: Chrysophycean algae are a diverse and often abundant group ofprimarily freshwater phytoplankton, characterized by the endogenousformation of siliceous cysts or stomatocysts (also called statosporesor statocysts). Cyst morphology is highly variable, but believed to bespecies-specific. .Recently, cysts have received considerable attention from phycologistsand especially paleoecologists who wish to use these indicators forassessments of environmental change. Nonetheless, attempts at usingcysts have often been hampered by taxonomic problems. .This .Atlas. dispels some of the mystery surr

Overview: Defines the state of the art, of variable structure systems, represents new directions building on existing work, and highlights new emerging application areas.Based on selected presentations from the.Sliding Mode Control is recognized as an efficient tool to design controllers which are robust with respect to uncertainty. The resulting controllers have low sensitivity to plant parameters and perturbations and allow the possibility of decoupling the original plant system into two components of lower dimension. In addition many controllers ensure finite time convergence to the switchi
