Modelling, Estimation and Control of Networked Complex Systems
The paradigm of complexity is pervading both science and engineering, le- ing to the emergence of novel approaches oriented at the development of a systemic view of the phenomena under study; the de?nition of powerful tools for modelling, estimation, and control; and the cross-fertilization of di?erent disciplines and approaches. One of the most promising paradigms to cope with complexity is that of networked systems. Complex, dynamical networks are powerful tools to model, estimate, and control many interesting phenomena, like agent coordination, synch- nization, social and economics events, networks of critical infrastructures, resourcesallocation,informationprocessing,controlovercommunica...
An Actology of the Given
An actology--introduced by the first book in this series, Actology: Action, Change and Diversity in the Western Philosophical Tradition--is a conceptual structure characterized by action, change, and diversity, and that envisages reality as action in changing patterns. The previous book in this series, Actological Readings in Continental Philosophy, reads a number of continental philosophers through this lens. This new book, An Actology of the Given, takes a somewhat different approach: it explores the concepts of the gift, givenness, giving, and other cognates in the light of reality understood as action in patterns rather than as beings that change: and it does so by discussing some anthropology, the writings of a number of continental philosophers, biblical texts, social policy, and a variety of other givens.

Berechnung gesicherter Einzugsgebiete für nichtlineare Systeme mit Hilfe von Bézout-Matrizen
Thomas Pursche untersucht nichtlineare dynamische Systeme vielfältiger Art auf Stabilität hin und verwendet dazu eine neuartige Methode, die – basierend auf den Stabilitätssätzen von Lyapunov – erstmals Bézout-Matrizen und den Satz von Ehlich und Zeller einsetzt. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der ausführlichen Herleitung und Erörterung der Methode in Bezug auf polynomielle nichtlineare dynamische Systeme, bevor diese sowohl auf unsichere als auch auf nichtpolynomielle Systembeschreibungen erweitert werden. Der Autor verifiziert anhand zahlreicher Beispiele die vorgestellte Methode, stellt Entwurfsmethoden für Regler vor, um das ermittelte gesicherte Einzugsgebiet zu vergrößern und stellt abschließend noch ein Framework zur Untersuchung der Stabilität nichtlinearer Systeme vor.
Distorted Visions
When Dr. Gayles Evans set out to research how a distorted vision created the violent obsession of those who were bullying others, she discovered that this mental abuse changed many lives. Numerous victims of bullying were stalked, and some who were abused committed suicide. In Distorted Vision, she provides glimpses into her own life and upbringing as she explores the topic of how people make a variety of counterproductive choices for living as a result of distorted perceptions of reality. The research into that topic led Evans into other areas of how having a distorted vision affects society, such as alcoholism, drug abuse, discrimination, sexual harassment, violence against women, and bullying. Distorted Vision discusses how no one is physically or mentally perfect. Everyone must come to grips with their own demons and fantasies and accept them before a clear lens can be formed. All must find their own ways into the light and clear their own paths to develop a defined vision of life.
Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
This text aids practitioners who seek to diagnose, treat and manage patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) more effectively. It discusses pulmonary gas exchange, muscle function and breathing, water/electrolyte imbalances and end-stage disease.

Finite-Time Stability and Control
Finite-time stability (FTS) is a more practical concept than classical Lyapunov stability, useful for checking whether the state trajectories of a system remain within pre-specified bounds over a finite time interval. In a linear systems framework, FTS problems can be cast as convex optimization problems and solved by the use of effective off-the-shelf computational tools such as LMI solvers. Finite-time Stability and Control exploits this benefit to present the practical applications of FTS and finite-time control-theoretical results to various engineering fields. The text is divided into two parts: · linear systems; and · hybrid systems. The building of practical motivating examples helps the reader to understand the methods presented. Finite-time Stability and Control is addressed to academic researchers and to engineers working in the field of robust process control. Instructors teaching graduate courses in advanced control will also find parts of this book useful for their courses.
