Turning Prayers into Protests
Turning Prayers into Protests is a comparative study of religious-based oppositional activity in Slovakia and East Germany prior to 1989.
Computer Aided Systems Theory – EUROCAST 2015
This volume constitutes the papers presented at the 15th International Conference on Computer Aided Systems Theory, EUROCAST 2015, held in February 2015 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. The total of 107 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The contributions are organized in topical sections on Systems Theory and Applications; Modelling Biological Systems; Intelligent Information Processing; Theory and Applications of Metaheuristic Algorithms; Computer Methods, Virtual Reality and Image Processing for Clinical and Academic Medicine; Signals and Systems in Electronics; Model-Based System Design, Verification, and Simulation; Digital Signal Processing Methods and Applications; Modelling and Control of Robots; Mobile Platforms, Autonomous and Computing Traffic Systems; Cloud and Other Computing Systems; and Marine Sensors and Manipulators.

Philosophies of Nature: The Human Dimension
Philosophical understandings of Nature and Human Nature. Classical Greek and modern West, Christian, Buddhist, Taoist, by 14 authors, including Robert Neville, Stanley Rosen, David Eckel, Livia Kohn, Tienyu Cao, Abner Shimoney, Alfred Tauber, Krzysztof Michalski, Lawrence Cahoone, Stephen Scully, Alan Olson and Alfred Ferrarin. Dedicated to the phenomenological ecology of Erazim Kohák, with 10 of his essays and a full bibliography. Overall theme: on the question of the moral sense of nature.
Current Trends in Nonlinear Systems and Control
This volume is an outgrowth of the workshop "Applications of Advanced Control Theory to Robotics and Automation," organized in honor of the 70th birthdays of Petar V. Kokotovic and Salvatore Nicosia. Both Petar and Turi have carried out distinguished work in the control community, and have long been recognized as mentors as well as experts and pioneers in the field of automatic control, covering many topics in control theory and several different applications. The variety of their research is reflected in this book, which includes contributions ranging from mathematics to laboratory experiments.Main topics covered include:* Observer design for time-delay systems, nonlinear systems, and ident...
Control Based on PID Framework
With numerous new opportunities and challenges emerging from the topic of the cognition and control of complex systems, the methods related to PID control, or control based on a PID framework, will continue to grow and expand. This book covers some of the recent results that include improvements to the PID controller. Some examples of these improvements are as follows: •The novelty method of the variable, fractional-order PID controller •The optimization of PID controller, such as the hybrid LQR-PID controller by using genetic algorithm (GA) with the application for the control of helicopter systems •The optimized tuning approach of PID controller with disturbance rejection •A controller adjustment method based on the internal product of PID terms •The PI-PD controller, incorporated with the model-based feedforward control (FF) and the disturbance compensator (Kz), which is used for the control of magnetic levitation systems •The proper control with PID framework used to improve the cognition or identification for complex systems
Intellectuals and Politics in Central Europe
Focusing on the role of intellectuals in the political transition of the late 1980s and early 1990s and their participation in the political life of the new democracies of Central Europe, this book presents original essays from authors who discuss the eight countries in the region.
Nature Protests
In this book, Edward Snajdr demonstrates how concerns about ecology generated a social movement that led to political dialogue about freedom, ethnicity, and power. He connects the role that green dissidents played in communism's collapse with the forces in Slovak society that replaced them. Through ethnographic interviews and archival materials, he explains why Slovakia's ecology movement, so strong under socialism, fell apart so rapidly despite the persistence of serious ecological maladies in the region. Synthesizing theory in anthropology and political ecology, he suggests that the fate of environmentalism in Slovakia marks the beginning of a global post-ecological age, where nature is culturally maginalized in new ways.
