Download or read book Robust Control of Time delay Systems written by Qing-Chang Zhong and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-28 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, there have been significant developments in robust control of time-delay systems. This volume presents a systematic treatment of robust control for such systems in the frequency domain. The emphasis is on systems with a single input or output delay, although the delay-free part of the plant can be multi-input-multi-output, in which case the delays in different channels should be the same. The author covers the whole range of H-infinity control of time-delay systems: from controller parameterization implementation; from the Nehari problem to the four-block problem; from theoretical developments to practical issues. The major tools used are similarity transformation, the chain-scattering approach and J-spectral factorization. Self-contained, "Robust Control of Time-delay Systems" will interest control theorists and mathematicians working with time-delay systems. Its methodical approach will be of value to graduates studying general robust control theory or its applications in time-delay systems.

Book excerpt: The 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, were unique in several respects: they were the first Games held outside Europe or North America, as well as the first held in the southern hemisphere. The XVI Olympiad, the fourteenth volume in The Olympic Century series, begins with the story of Melbourne 1956, known as "e;The Friendly Games"e;.The book profiles the heroes of Melbourne, like the 18-year-old Australian sprinter Betty Cuthbert, the "e;Golden Girl,"e; who claimed gold in the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay; and the American Bobby Morrow who mirrored Cuthbert's achievements on the men's side. There were also unlikely winners, like Ronnie Delany of Ireland, who held off the powerful Americans to claim gold in the 1500 metres. The book also explores how Cold War tensions surfaced in Melbourne in disputes over officiating, and most violently in water polo, where Hungary and Russia engaged in what became known as the "e;Blood in the Water Match."e;Following Melbourne, the book turns its focus to Squaw Valley, California, and the Winter Games of 1960. Squaw Valley saw the Olympic debut of the biathlon and women's speed skating, along with technological innovations like artificial ice surfaces, instant replay and results tabulated by computer. The book also recounts the story of the plucky American ice hockey team, made up of college players, which defeated the experienced Canadians and dominant Russians to claim gold.Juan Antonio Samaranch, former President of the International Olympic Committee, called The Olympic Century, "e;The most comprehensive history of the Olympic games ever published"e;.

Book excerpt: Cultural Heritage, Cultural Rights, Cultural Diversity: New Developments in International Law explores the recent evolution of cultural heritage law which has resulted in the emergence of a new international conscience, rooted in the awareness that cultural heritage represents a holistic notion strongly connected with the identity of peoples as well with individual and collective human rights. Leading international scholars examine the new challenges determined by that evolution, reaching beyond only tangible artistic and monumental expression and paying particular attention to the linkages between cultural heritage, cultural diversity and human rights. As such, Cultural Heritage, Cultural Rights, Cultural Diversity: New Developments in International Law offers a comprehensive and original overview of how the international approach to culture has evolved from a sovereignty-based idea of cultural property to a perception which emphasises the human dimension of cultural heritage.

Download or read book Nomad written by David Alexander and published by Triumvirate Publications. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 1016 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nomad spelled backwards is "Damon" which is similar to the name for a self-configuring, self-actuating computer program that runs in the background, or throughout the digital space inside a computer Tabor was in the matrix room, looking at Armageddon. Projected onto one of the walls was an immense blowup of one of the WIRE hardware drug chips, the core layer known as the "matrix." A technician was explaining how this new plug drug, to be called "Armageddon," would be twice as potent as any drug of its type that had been manufactured before. "We've squeezed in a million more transistors," the tech explained proudly to Tabor. "A hit of one of these can be incredibly addictive." "What's the downside?" Tabor asked the techie. "And why hasn't production on this line been instituted yet?" "Well," answered the tech a little sheepishly, "there have been some problems in our development cycle. I'll show you if you'll permit me." He asked Tabor to come with him. They went from the projection room into the research wing. Here, a thick pane of double-layered glass gave vantage into a testing area. A recording camera was also pointed at the pane of glass, staring into the room like Tabor and the tech were doing. Inside the room beyond the large glass panel were two shaven headed Motherboarder clones in their flowing white robes. The acolytes were sitting on the floor, staring at the walls with blank expressions on their faces. "Everything ready?" the tech asked a woman in a blue laboratory coat like the one he wore who was seated at a console filled with multiple view screens and flashing digital displays

Download or read book Re reading the Monstrous Feminine written by Nicholas Chare and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a critical reappraisal of Barbara Creed’s ground-breaking work of feminist psychoanalytic film scholarship, The Monstrous-Feminine, which was first published in 1993. The Monstrous-Feminine married psychoanalytic thinking with film analysis in radically new ways to provide an invaluable corrective to conventional approaches to the study of women in horror films, with their narrow emphasis on woman’s victimhood. This volume, which will mark 25 years since the publication of The Monstrous-Feminine, brings together essays by international scholars working across a variety of disciplines who take up Creed’s ideas in new ways and fresh contexts or, more broadly, explore possible futures for feminist and/or psychoanalytically informed art history and film theory.
