Overview: The connection of geometric control theory to H2 and H-infinity optimal control theory provides an additional insight for the reader.The authors have all contributed at different times to the developm.Control Theory for Linear Systems. deals with the mathematical theory of feedback control of linear systems. It treats a wide range of control synthesis problems for linear state space systems with inputs and outputs. The book provides a treatment of these problems using state space methods, often with a geometric flavour. Its subject matter ranges from controllability and observability

Overview: Awarded the 2007 price of the Austrian Industrial Association.Includes supplementary material: .CSR, a concept aimed at determining the amount of responsibilities to be shouldered by private business toward stakeholder groups and society at large, deserves to be dealt with in considerable detail and not simply as another "PR fuzz" or marketing gag. As a model, CSR epitomises the old saying "business is business"; offering broader stakeholder management which can be seen as a competitive advantage. ...Increased financial performance and employee commitment are among the benefits the C

Overview: Reviews vast literature on children’s understanding of cognition from early childhood to adolescence.Traces development from concepts of mental states to knowledge of cognitive activity and epistemolo.During the past 25 years, a great deal of research and theory has addressed the development of young children’s understanding of mental states such as knowledge, beliefs, desires, intentions, and emotions.  Although developments in children’s understanding of the mind subsequent to early childhood has received less attention, in recent years a growing body of research has emerged examin

Overview: Presents the basic science of practicing physicians and allied health professionals.Focuses on determination of diagnosis, prognosis, and management of human disease.Outlines the concepts and methods .Clinical epidemiology provides the scientific basis for the practice of medicine due to its focus on the diagnosis, prognosis and management of human disease using appropriate research design, measurement and evaluation.  In .Clinical Epidemiology: Practice and Methods., leading experts contribute selections intended to educate researchers on how best to undertake clinical research.  Di

Overview: Artificial Intelligence and cognitive science are the twofields devoted to the study and development ofknowledge-based systems (KBS). Over the past 25years,researchers have proposed several approaches for modelingknowledge in KBS, including several kinds of formalism suchas semantic networks, frames, and logics. In the early1980s, J.F. Sowaintroduced the conceptual graph (CG) theorywhich provides a knowledgerepresentation frameworkconsisting of a form of logic with a graph notationandintegrating several features from semantic net andframerepresentations. Since that time, several rese

Overview: Focuses on very specific and often complex reconstructive problems.Thoroughly analyzes the decision-making steps for each case.Features accompanying high resolution photos for each caseThis book presents100 cases covering all areas of reconstructive surgery. Divided into six parts (Head/Neck, Upper Extremity, Lower Extremity, Trunk, Breast and Lymphedema), it guides the reader through the difficult path of problem diagnosis, analysis and decision-making, presenting concrete steps and techniques for the successful management of patients with specific reconstructive needs. Each full-co

Overview: Any discussion of the present success in management of urological cancers evokes a mixed response. Oncologists and urologists can enjoy the success with chemotherapy for testicular cancers but cannot forget the dismal results with any form of treatment, other than surgery, for renal carcinoma. But these are the less frequent urolegi­ cal tumours: what are the attitudes to the more common prostate and bladder cancers. Intensive study, many clinical trials and much debate lead us to the conclusion that we understand them better, we can tailor the treatment more appropriately to the ind

Overview: Gathers recent findings on chain conditions in commutative algebra, previously only available in papers.Offers detailed proofs, with examples, solved exercises and references in self-contained chapterThis book gathers, in a beautifully structured way, recent findings on chain conditions in commutative algebra that were previously only available in papers. The majority of chapters are self-contained, and all include detailed proofs, a wealth of examples and solved exercises, and a complete reference list. The topics covered include S-Noetherian, S-Artinian, Nonnil-Noetherian, and Stro

Overview: Provides a new conceptual framework for understanding children’s everyday negotiation of economic insecurity, difference and belonging.Offers deep insights into how inequality shapes the everyday live.This book explores how rural children negotiate economic insecurity and difference. Based on long-term ethnographic research in rural Australia, it shows that children draw on class-based ideas of moral worth, anchored in racialised and gendered understandings, to negotiate financial hardship and insecurity. Through close observations in the classroom, school yard and the home, and inte

Overview: Includes a guide of how to extract model parameters for given piezoelectric harvester.Helps integrated circuit designers to develop their own chips for energy harvesters.Presented circuit concepts can.This book deals with the challenge of exploiting ambient vibrational energy which can be used to power small and low-power electronic devices, e.g. wireless sensor nodes. Generally, particularly for low voltage amplitudes, low-loss rectification is required to achieve high conversion efficiency. In the special case of piezoelectric energy harvesting, pulsed charge extraction has the pot

Overview: Introduces readers to one of the greatest literary works in Chinese history.Includes Kuo Hsiang’s commentaries on Chuang Tzu as well as Feng’s own interpretations of Chuang Tzu’s philosophy.Places gre.This book reprints an ancient Chinese work from the late Warring States period (3rd century BC) that contains stories and anecdotes exemplifying the carefree nature of the ideal Taoist sage. Chuang Tzu’s philosophy represents the main current of Taoist teachings, and his text is widely regarded as both deeply insightful and a great achievement in the Chinese poetical essay form. The ver

Overview: Cardiology embraces a number of different conditions and disease processes. Cardiovascular disease is now responsible for most of the deaths of adults, especially premature deaths, in the developed world. The development of effective preventive measures, new drugs and surgical techniques makes it increasingly important to recognise those at risk, to diagnose accurately those suffering from disease and to prescribe, monitor and refer appropriately. This book is intended to focus attention on the opportunities which family‘ practice provides for this and to look at the need for a chang

Overview: The identification and interpretation of the signs of breast cancer in mammographic images from screening programs can be very difficult due to the subtle and diversified appearance of breast disease. This book presents new image processing and pattern recognition techniques for computer-aided detection and diagnosis of breast cancer in its various forms. The main goals are: (1) the identification of bilateral asymmetry as an early sign of breast disease which is not detectable by other existing approaches; and (2) the detection and classification of masses and regions of architectur

Overview: Elaborates on connections to secondary mathematics that are specific to abstract algebra.Considers ways in which abstract algebra is insightful and productive for secondary teachers and secondary teac.Secondary mathematics teachers are frequently required to take a large number of mathematics courses – including advanced mathematics courses such as abstract algebra – as part of their initial teacher preparation program and/or their continuing professional development. The content areas of advanced and secondary mathematics are closely connected. Yet, despite this connection many seco
