Production processes and engineered systems use continuous and discrete variables, as well as the combination of continuous and sequential operations. This volume covers both aspects, thus providing knowledge in continuous and discrete control, logic control, and hybrid control systems. It is a compilation of selected control strategies to automate processes and systems with a practical approach to ease their design, analysis and implementation. The selection of the control schemes is based on the capability to provide desired dynamical response or real time performance. Practicality is required for achieving faster development times of automation projects or system prototypes by comprehensi...
Eurosymposium Computer Aided Process Engineering
The book is a multidisciplinary space and serves as a platform to share and learn about the frontier knowledge between different areas related to “Recent trends in sustainable engineering.” Sustainable engineering promotes the responsible use of resources and materials involved in the different manufacturing processes or the execution stages of a service. An interdisciplinary approach is required in all aspects of engineering. In this sense, engineers, researchers, and the academic community will play a fundamental role in developing new technologies that respect the environment, still, at the same time, that considers social and economic factors.
Hydrogels are networks of polymer chains which can produce a colloidal gel containing over 99 per cent water. The superabsorbency and permeability of naturally occurring and synthetic hydrogels give this class of materials an amazing array of uses. These uses range from wound dressings and skin grafts to oxygen-permeable contact lenses to biodegradable delivery systems for drugs or pesticides and scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Biomedical Applications of Hydrogels Handbook provides a comprehensive description of this diverse class of materials, covering both synthesis and properties and a broad range of research and commercial applications. The Handbook is divided into four sections: Stimuli-Sensitive Hydrogels, Hydrogels for Drug Delivery, Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering, and Hydrogels with Unique Properties. Key Features: Provides comprehensive coverage of the basic science and applications of a diverse class of materials Includes both naturally occurring and synthetic hydrogels Edited and written by world leaders in the field.
This book gathers the proceedings of the 3rd Latin American Congress on Automation and Robotics, held at Monterrey, Mexico, on November 17–19, 2021. This book presents recent advances in the modeling, design, control, and development of autonomous and robotic systems and explores current exciting applications and future challenges of these technologies. The scope of this book covers a wide range of research fields associated with automation and robotics encountered within engineering, scientific research, and practice. These topics are related to autonomous systems, industrial automation and robotics, modelling and systems identification, simulation procedures and experimental validations, control theory, artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensing and sensor fusion, multi-robot and multi-agent systems, field and service robotics, human robot interaction and interfaces, modelling of robotic systems, and the design of new robotic platforms.
En el territorio del Chubut la educación se inicia con los pueblos originarios poseedores de una tradición educativa milenaria. En estos territorios no hubo presencia estatal permanente hasta la instalación de la primera colonia estable en 1865. La educación formal se inicia entonces a partir de allí con las escuelas galesas. La primera escuela nacional se instala en Rawson en el año 1878, en el momento en que se crea la Gobernación de la Patagonia. Recién en 1892 se abre la primera escuela la congregación salesiana, que se consolida en 1893. No media aquí la educación colonial, sino que se pasa de manera abrupta de una educación originaria a una educación formal. En el año 188...
Quien vea un mapa de la Patagonia argentina, quizás sienta curiosidad por nombres como Madryn, Gaiman, Trelew o Trevelin. Palabras de una lengua con muy pocos hablantes y menos relación con la Patagonia, por lo menos hasta mediados del siglo XIX. La manera en que llegaron los habitantes de Gales al valle del río Chupat se relata en esta obra. Federico Mare se vale del ensayo literario para este libro de la colección Ida y vuelta de la Ediunc. Con un lenguaje claro y una narrativa sólida, expone las vicisitudes de los migrantes, sin escatimar en detalles sobre el contexto histórico en ambos extremos del océano Atlántico. Esto es, la pauperización de la Gran Bretaña victoriana, el le...
Como reflejo del crecimiento que ha tenido el estudio de la linguistica mexicana en estos ultimos anos, como muestra objetiva, de conjunto y actualidad de los proyectos de investigacion que se han realizado en Mexico al respecto y como una excelente y fidedigna herramienta de consulta para los interesados de las ciencias del lenguaje, esta obra resultara, ademas, fundamental por la invaluable bibliografia contenida en el disco compacto que la acompana.
For the past 40 years, the Texas Association of Chicanos in Higher Education (TACHE) has been on the forefront of advocacy to improve opportunity in higher education for US persons of Mexican origin. This volume in the ongoing Images of America series chronicles the history of this unique organization.
