Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 2035, humanity faces an impending invasion from a species located three-hundred light years away from Earth. Unknowing to the Earth’s leadership and their militaries, a race of war fascists called the Mortellas Alliance had moved into a space sector on a moon near Mars, bringing them within striking distance from the planet Earth. Their mission was to conduct surveillance on the Earth. At the same time, their military and scientists collectively worked to develop an unknown secret weapon intended to be used to exterminate the inhabitants of the Earth. The story follows Colonel Raymond Adams, the Commander of the Earth’s first interstellar spacecraft code-named Gulliver. The vessel was designed from blueprints received through secret transmissions sent to American President Henry Nelson from a peaceful race called the Terrennians. The Terrennians provided the Earth’s leadership with advance warning of the impending invasion from the Mortellas Alliance along with coordinates of the location of their secret military base on the outer moon of Mars. The Gulliver’s spacecraft was named after the fictional character Gulliver, who explored unknown lands and encountered strange and fascinating creatures. The Space Command chose the name to signify the spirit of exploration and discovery that the Gulliver spacecraft represented in the eyes of the American people and the World. The crew of the Gulliver was carefully selected and trained for years to ensure they were fully prepared and mentally tested for the most crucial mission in the Earth’s history. The Gulliver crew members were some of the finest astronauts ever selected for the NASA space program and the best in their chosen specialties and fields. The Pentagon’s and NASA leaderships believed the Gulliver’s Commander and crew members could be the key to the survival of Earth and humanity. I invite you to travel with Colonel Raymond Adams and the crew of the Gulliver interstellar spacecraft as they bridge numerous obstacles, battle the Mortellas Alliance, and forge new alliances while building a solid and cohesive team.
Download or read book An Introduction to Infinite Dimensional Linear Systems Theory written by Ruth F. Curtain and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infinite dimensional systems is now an established area of research. Given the recent trend in systems theory and in applications towards a synthesis of time- and frequency-domain methods, there is a need for an introductory text which treats both state-space and frequency-domain aspects in an integrated fashion. The authors' primary aim is to write an introductory textbook for a course on infinite dimensional linear systems. An important consideration by the authors is that their book should be accessible to graduate engineers and mathematicians with a minimal background in functional analysis. Consequently, all the mathematical background is summarized in an extensive appendix. For the majority of students, this would be their only acquaintance with infinite dimensional systems.
Download or read book Trends in Interactive Visualization written by Elena Zudilova-Seinstra and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-17 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: II Challenges in Data Mapping Part II deals with one of the most challenging tasks in Interactive Visualization, mapping and teasing out information from large complex datasets and generating visual representations. This section consists of four chapters. Binh Pham, Alex Streit, and Ross Brown provide a comprehensive requirement analysis of information uncertainty visualizations. They examine the sources of uncertainty, review aspects of its complexity, introduce typical models of uncertainty, and analyze major issues in visualization of uncertainty, from various user and task perspectives. Alfred Inselberg examines challenges in the multivariate data analysis. He explains how relations among multiple variables can be mapped uniquely into ?-space subsets having geometrical properties and introduces Parallel Coordinates meth- ology for the unambiguous visualization and exploration of a multidimensional geometry and multivariate relations. Christiaan Gribble describes two alternative approaches to interactive particle visualization: one targeting desktop systems equipped with programmable graphics hardware and the other targeting moderately sized multicore systems using pack- based ray tracing. Finally, Christof Rezk Salama reviews state-of-the-art strategies for the assignment of visual parameters in scientific visualization systems. He explains the process of mapping abstract data values into visual based on transfer functions, clarifies the terms of pre- and postclassification, and introduces the state-of-the-art user int- faces for the design of transfer functions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An indispensable reference for all researchers interested in the measurement of social welfare. . .” —François Bourguignon, Emeritus Professor at Paris School of Economics, Former Chief Economist of the World Bank. “. . .a detailed, insightful, and pedagogical presentation of the theoretical grounds of multidimensional well-being, inequality, and poverty measurement. Any student, researcher, and practitioner interested in the multidimensional approach should begin their journey into such a fascinating theme with this wonderful book.” —François Maniquet, Professor, Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium. A Review of the Multidimensional Approaches to the Measurement of Welfare, Inequality, and Poverty Analyzing Multidimensional Well-Being: A Quantitative Approach offers a comprehensive approach to the measurement of well-being that includes characteristics such as income, health, literacy, and housing. The author presents a systematic comparison of the alternative approaches to the measurement of multidimensional welfare, inequality, poverty, and vulnerability. The text contains real-life applications of some multidimensional aggregations (most of which have been designed by international organizations such as the United Nations Development Program and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) that help to judge the performance of a country in the various dimensions of well-being. The text offers an evaluation of how well a society is doing with respect to achievements of all the individuals in the dimensions considered and clearly investigates how achievements in the dimensions can be evaluated from different perspectives. The author includes a detailed scrutiny of alternative techniques for setting weights to individual dimensional metrics and offers an extensive analysis into both the descriptive and welfare theoretical approaches to the concerned multi-attribute measurement and related issues. This important resource: • Contains a synthesis of multidimensional welfare, inequality, poverty, and vulnerability analysis • Examines aggregations of achievement levels in the concerned dimensions of well-being from various standpoints • Shows how to measure poverty using panel data instead of restricting attention to a single period and when we have imprecise information on dimensional achievements • Argues that multidimensional analysis is intrinsically different from marginal distributions-based analysis Written for students, teachers, researchers, and scholars, Analyzing Multidimensional Well-Being: A Quantitative Approach puts the focus on various approaches to the measurementof the many aspects of well-being and quality of life. Satya R. Chakravarty is a Professor of Economics at the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India. He is an Editor of Social Choice and Welfare and a member of the Editorial Board of Journal of Economic Inequality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Symposium covered three major areas: adaptive control, identification and signal processing. In all three, new developments were discussed covering both theoretical and applications research. Within the subject area of adaptive control the discussion centred around the challenges of robust control design to unmodelled dynamics, robust parameter estimation and enhanced performance from the estimator, while the papers on identification took the theme of it being a bridge between adaptive control and signal processing. The final area looked at two aspects of signal processing: recursive estimation and adaptive filters.
