Nonlinear Industrial Control Systems
Nonlinear Industrial Control Systems presents a range of mostly optimisation-based methods for severely nonlinear systems; it discusses feedforward and feedback control and tracking control systems design. The plant models and design algorithms are provided in a MATLAB® toolbox that enable both academic examples and industrial application studies to be repeated and evaluated, taking into account practical application and implementation problems. The text makes nonlinear control theory accessible to readers having only a background in linear systems, and concentrates on real applications of nonlinear control. It covers: different ways of modelling nonlinear systems including state space, pol...

Neighbors
A landmark book that changed the story of Poland’s role in the Holocaust On July 10, 1941, in Nazi-occupied Poland, half of the town of Jedwabne brutally murdered the other half: 1,600 men, women, and children—all but seven of the town’s Jews. In this shocking and compelling classic of Holocaust history, Jan Gross reveals how Jedwabne’s Jews were murdered not by faceless Nazis but by people who knew them well—their non-Jewish Polish neighbors. A previously untold story of the complicity of non-Germans in the extermination of the Jews, Neighbors shows how people victimized by the Nazis could at the same time victimize their Jewish fellow citizens. In a new preface, Gross reflects on the book’s explosive international impact and the backlash it continues to provoke from right-wing Polish nationalists who still deny their ancestors’ role in the destruction of the Jews.
Night without End
Three million Polish Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, wiping out nearly 98 percent of the Jewish population who had lived and thrived there for generations. Night Without End tells the stories of their resistance, suffering, and death in unflinching, horrific detail. Based on meticulous research from across Poland, it concludes that those who were responsible for so many deaths included a not insignificant number of Polish villagers and townspeople who aided the Germans in locating and slaughtering Jews. When these findings were first published in a Polish edition in 2018, a storm of protest and lawsuits erupted from Holocaust deniers and from people who claimed the research was falsified and smeared the national character of the Polish people. Night Without End, translated and published for the first time in English in association with Yad Vashem, presents the critical facts, significant findings, and the unmistakable evidence of Polish collaboration in the genocide of Jews.
Control Performance Assessment: Theoretical Analyses and Industrial Practice
This book presents a comprehensive review of currently available Control Performance Assessment methods. It covers a broad range of classical and modern methods, with a main focus on assessment practice, and is intended to help practitioners learn and properly perform control assessment in the industrial reality. Further, it offers an educational guide for control engineers, who are currently in high demand in the industry. The book consists of three main parts. Firstly, a comprehensive review of available approaches is presented and discussed. The classical canon methods are extended with a discussion of nonlinear and complex alternative measures using non-Gaussian statistics, persistence and fractional calculations. Secondly, the methods’ applicability aspects are visualized with the aid of computer simulations, covering the most popular control philosophies used in the process industry. Lastly, a critical review of the methods discussed, on the basis of real-world industrial examples, rounds out the coverage.
Prions
Prions are disease-causing agents that are neither bacterial nor fungal nor viral and contain no genetic material. A prion is a protein that occurs normally in a harmless form. By folding into an aberrant shape, the normal prion turns into a rogue agent. It then co-opts other normal prions to become rogue prions. Prions have been held responsible for a number of degenerative brain diseases, including scrapie (a fatal disease of sheep and goats), mad cow disease, Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, fatal familial insomnia, kuru, an unusual form of hereditary dementia known as Gertsmann-Straeussler-Scheinker disease, and possibly some cases of Alzheimer's disease. This book presents the latest research in this dynamic field.
Biografia zawodowa Władysława Paszkowskiego białostockiego konserwatora zabytków w fotografiach zapisana (1945-1972)
Władysław Paszkowski przybywając tuż przed zakończeniem wojny do Białegostoku i podejmując się pełnienia obowiązków Wojewódzkiego Konserwatora Zabytków miał świadomość, że w pracy służb konserwatorskich po 1945 r. dokonać się będzie musiało przesunięcie środka ciężkości z ochrony zabytków na ich inwentaryzację pod kątem zniszczeń, a następnie na ich rekonstrukcję lub zabezpieczenie jako trwałych ruin. Stanęło przed nim nie łatwe zadanie ocalenia dziedzictwa kulturowo-architektonicznego przede wszystkim miasta nad Białą, jak też całego północnego Podlasia. W zderzeniu ze zmieniającymi się, jak w kalejdoskopie wizjami urbanistycznymi decydentów partyjnych realizował on (czasami metodą faktów dokonanych), przy współpracy ze Stanisławem Bukowskim odbudowę najcenniejszych zabytków w regionie. Pełnię determinacji w realizacji swojej zawodowej misji zademonstrował doprowadzając mimo oporu lokalnych władz do podjęcia w 1952 r. odbudowy miejskiego ratusza. Pomocne w tej pracy było zdobyte jeszcze przed wojną w Wilnie doświadczenie w wykorzystaniu przy rekonstrukcji zabytków dokumentacyjnej fotografii konserwatorskiej.
