Discrete Control Systems

Springer, 2014

Discrete Control Systems establishes a basis for the analysis and design of discretized/quantized control systems for continuous physical systems. Beginning with the necessary mathematical foundations and system-model descriptions, the text moves on to derive a robust stability condition. To keep a practical perspective on the uncertain...

Robotic Welding, Intelligence and Automation (Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences)

Springer, 2007

Robotic welding systems have been used in different types of manufacturing. They can provide several benefits in welding applications. The most prominent advantages of robotic welding are precision and productivity. Another benefit is that labor costs can be reduced. Robotic welding also reduces risk by moving the human...

Fault-tolerant Flight Control and Guidance Systems: Practical Methods for Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Advances in Industrial Control)

Springer, 2009

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer an incomparable means of gathering intelligence and carrying out missions without needing an onboard human pilot. The benefits are considerable in terms of cost, efficiency, and reduced pilot risk.

In order to complete a mission efficiently and with a high level of safety and security, the following key...

Everything the independent investor needs to know to effectively invest in gold

With today's increasing economic uncertainties, a strong investment strategy is to put a portion of your net worth in gold. However, given investors' overall lack of knowledge about gold as an investment, as wealth insurance, or as a store of...

Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information

John Wiley & Sons, 2013

A thorough definition of the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and quantum information and their interrelations.

Alongside a thorough definition of the basic concepts and their interrelations, backed by numerous examples, this textbook features a rare discussion of the quantum information theory. It also...

Uncertainty and Optimization in Structural Mechanics (Mechanical Engineering and Solid Mechanics)

John Wiley & Sons, 2013

Optimization is generally a reduction operation of a definite quantity. This process naturally takes place in our environment and through our activities. For example, many natural systems evolve, in order to minimize their potential energy. Modeling these phenomena then largely relies on our capacity to artificially reproduce these processes....

Fantasies of Time and Death: Dunsany, Eddison, Tolkien

Palgrave Macmillan, 2020

This book reveals the unique contribution made by the three founding fathers of British fantasy?Lord Dunsany, E. R. Eddison and J. R. R. Tolkien?to our culture’s perennial reassessment of the meanings of time, death and eternity. It traces the poetic, philosophical and theological roots of the striking preoccupation with mortality and...

Quantitative Assessment of Securitisation Deals (SpringerBriefs in Finance)

Springer, 2012

Securitisation deals have come to the fore during recent years owing to the challenges involved in their assessment and their role in the recent credit crises. These deals are created by the pooling of assets and the tranching of liabilities. The latter is backed by collateral pools. Tranching makes it possible to create liabilities...

Emerging States and Economies: Their Origins, Drivers, and Challenges Ahead (Emerging-Economy State and International Policy Studies)

Springer, 2018

This open access book asks why and how some of the developing countries have “emerged” under a set of similar global conditions, what led individual countries to choose the particular paths that led to their “emergence,” and what challenges confront them. If we are to...
