Cover of Controllability and Stabilization of Parabolic Equations
by Viorel Barbu
Language: English
Release Date: April 26, 2018

This monograph presents controllability and stabilization methods in control theory that solve parabolic boundary value problems. Starting from foundational questions on Carleman inequalities for linear parabolic equations, the author addresses the controllability of parabolic equations on a variety...
Cover of Schenk's Theory: The Determination of Sex
by Samuel Leopold Schenk
Language: English
Release Date: October 29, 2014

The facts observed and recorded by others assisted me to advance so far on the trodden path that I made an effort to snatch a secret from Nature. What I succeeded in obtaining, though small, induced me to set forth in the following pages the perhaps not unimportant results. The labor was long, and...

Release Date: December 16, 2017

This book integrates current advances in biology, economics of information and linguistics research through applications using agent-based modeling and social network analysis to develop scenarios of communication and language emergence in the social aspects of biological communications. The book...
Cover of Controllability and Minimum Energy Control
by Jerzy Klamka
Language: English
Release Date: June 1, 2018

The book offers a comprehensive overview of controllability problems and minimum energy control for broad classes of dynamical systems, including linear, semilinear and nonlinear systems, which are important for modeling systems in automatic control, electrical engineering, mechanics and informatics....
Cover of Task-Space Sensory Feedback Control of Robot Manipulators
by Chien Chern Cheah, Xiang Li
Language: English
Release Date: April 9, 2015

This book presents recent advances in robot control theory on task space sensory feedback control of robot manipulators. By using sensory feedback information, the robot control systems are robust to various uncertainties in modelling and calibration errors of the sensors. Several sensory task space...
Cover of Attractive Ellipsoids in Robust Control
by Alexander Poznyak, Andrey Polyakov, Vadim Azhmyakov

Cover of Energy Transmission and Synchronization in Complex Networks
by Nicolás Rubido
Language: English
Release Date: August 20, 2015

This work tackles the problems of understanding how energy is transmitted and distributed in power-grids as well as in determining how robust this transmission and distribution is when modifications to the grid or power occur. The most important outcome is the derivation of explicit relationships...

Mechanisms in World and Mind

Perspective Dualism, Systems Theory, Neuroscience, Reductive Physicalism

by Bernd Lindemann
Language: English
Release Date: August 19, 2014

The topic of the reduction of mental processes to biophysical mechanisms touches at the core of the mindbody problem, a puzzle in the philosophy of mind since the days of Descartes. This book is about philosophical aspects of neuroscience, centred on perspective dualism. The topic unfolds in the discussion...

Systems Thinking For Social Change

A Practical Guide to Solving Complex Problems, Avoiding Unintended Consequences, and Achieving Lasting Results

by David Peter Stroh
Language: English
Release Date: September 24, 2015

Donors, leaders of nonprofits, and public policy makers usually have the best of intentions to serve society and improve social conditions. But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the...
Cover of Thinking in Systems
by Donella Meadows
Language: English
Release Date: December 3, 2008

In the years following her role as the lead author of the international bestseller, Limits to Growth—the first book to show the consequences of unchecked growth on a finite planet— Donella Meadows remained a pioneer of environmental and social analysis until her untimely death in 2001. Meadows’...
