Overview: Many plants have large variations in operating conditions. To ensure smooth running it is essential to find a simple fixed gain controller that guarantees rapidly decaying and well-damped transients for all admissible operating conditions. .Robust Control. presents design tools, developed by the authors, for the solution of this design problem. Examples of simple and complex cases such as a crane, a flight control problem and the automatic and active four-wheel steering of a car illustrate the use of these tools. This book is intended for anyone who has taken an undergraduate course

Overview: Gives both researchers and advanced students new to this area of fluid mechanics a pedagogically conceived instrument to improve their knowledge in a structured way.Equips the reader with the techniquThis book addresses the concepts of unstable flow solutions, convective instability and absolute instability, with reference to simple (or toy) mathematical models, which are mathematically simple despite their purely abstract character. Within this paradigm, the book introduces the basic mathematical tools, Fourier transform, normal modes, wavepackets and their dynamics, before reviewin

Overview: During the last half century, the development and testing of prediction models of combustion chamber performance have been an ongoing task at the International Flame Research Foundation (IFRF) in IJmuiden in the Netherlands and at many other research organizations. This task has brought forth a hierarchy of more or less standard numerical models for heat transfer predictions, in particular for the prediction of radiative heat transfer. Unfortunately all the methods developed, which certainly have a good physical foundation, are based on a large number of extreme sim­ plifications or

Overview: Examines the perceptions of identity of minority youth in the classroom.Explores the reality and dynamics of interethnic relationships in the classroom.Illuminates the lived perspectives of the studenThis book addresses the dynamics of interethnic relationships in ethnically mixed classrooms in the Czech Republic. The classroom is a space in which the boundaries and meanings of facets of identity such as ethnicity, class and gender are negotiated on a daily basis: using rich ethnographic data, the author grounds the analysis in a novel theoretical framework which uses the traditional

Overview: A practical, hands-on book on building reusable firmware.Reusable approach is a first in this area.A worthwhile book for today‘s makers in electronicsGain the knowledge and skills necessary to improve your embedded software and benefit from author Jacob Beningo’s more than 15 years developing reusable and portable software for resource-constrained microcontroller-based systems. You will explore APIs, HALs, and driver development among other topics to acquire a solid foundation for improving your own software. .Reusable Firmware Development: A Practical Approach to APIs, HALs and Driv

Overview: Chronicles the history of recurring disasters via exemplary ‘lost lessons’.Highlights the over exploitation of environmentally responsible areas and consequent incremental gentrification of unincorporRecurring extreme events of nature challenge disaster-prone settlements in complex ways. Devastating property damages are one of the tests of survival for such settlements in both economic and social terms. It also provides unique opportunities to rethink the environment cleared by massive natural disasters. However, rebuilding for long-term resiliency is one of the least investigated ar

Overview: Analyzes incentive structures for project implementation involving renewable sources.Includes full details of sources of further information.Addresses the issues preventing widespread dissemination of.Rational Exuberance for Renewable Energy. is a beyond-the-hype account of the underlying issues that encourage or plague widespread dissemination of renewable energy (RE) technologies.  Renewable energy operates in the real world, and it cannot be assumed that the conventional theories and incentive structures of economics and business do not apply.  The author argues that grants and su

Overview: Simple random walks - or equivalently, sums of independent random vari­ ables - have long been a standard topic of probability theory and mathemat­ ical physics. In the 1950s, non-Markovian random-walk models, such as the self-avoiding walk,were introduced into theoretical polymer physics, and gradu­ ally came to serve as a paradigm for the general theory of critical phenomena. In the past decade, random-walk expansions have evolved into an important tool for the rigorous analysis of critical phenomena in classical spin systems and of the continuum limit in quantum field theory. Amon

Overview: Today, extensive interconnected global processes provide non-state actors with a degree of agency that a ‘System of States‘ paradigm cannot account for alone. Using Russia-Latin America relations as a case study and applying a Complex Adaptive Systems perspective, this work explores alternative international mechanisms of order and organization.978-1-137-30813-9

Overview: Includes detailed explanation of the importance of Riemann’s zeta function.Provides explicit calculations leading to the derivation of Riemann’s relation between prime numbers and zeros of Riemann’s fIn this book, the author pays tribute to Bernhard Riemann (1826–1866), mathematician with revolutionary ideas, whose work on the theory of integration, the Fourier transform, the hypergeometric differential equation, etc. contributed immensely to mathematical physics. This book concentrates in particular on Riemann’s only work on prime numbers, including such then new ideas as analytical

Overview: Regional science, as an integrating discipline for many scientific analyses concerning the element of space, has a remarkable record of achievements in both breadth and depth. The great many scientific journals in this field and the large number of regional science books mirror the appeal of this discipline, in both the developed and the developing world. The scientific organization in this area, the Regional Science Association International, is organizing a world conference every four years. The 1989 Regional Science World Conference was held in an interesting setting, viz. kibbutz
