Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - LIFE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN is original and honest. Stephen Dodds is deeply impassionate and a talented word-smith who seems in no way pretentious. He removes himself from his poetic works and the reader is infused with an untainted 'witnessing' that the author himself seems to possess. The author's greatest strength is in his simplicity. The poems are in themselves very simplistic, yet they carry an echo of spontaneity and joy despite an objective and balanced perspective on a tapestry of subject matter from boxing to philosophy, 9/11, cultural commentary and just plain daydreaming. Much of this poetry is pregnant with metaphor and the author's tone is soothing, simple and free. His voice is crystal clear and the poetry has an excellent rhythm. The artistry of the lines is wonderfully visual, spiritual and sensual at times, when the author is steeped in his natural philosophical passions.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book develops the understanding and skills needed to be able to tackle original control problems. The general approach to a given control problem is to try the simplest tentative solution first and, when this is insufficient, to explain why and use a more sophisticated alternative to remedy the deficiency and achieve satisfactory performance. This pattern of working gives readers a full understanding of different controllers and teaches them to make an informed choice between traditional controllers and more advanced modern alternatives in meeting the needs of a particular plant. Attention is focused on the time domain, covering model-based linear and nonlinear forms of control together with robust control based on sliding modes and the use of state observers such as disturbance estimation.Feedback Control is self-contained, paying much attention to explanations of underlying concepts, with detailed mathematical derivations being employed where necessary. Ample use is made of diagrams to aid these conceptual explanations and the subject matter is enlivened by continual use of examples and problems derived from real control applications. Readers' learning is further enhanced by experimenting with the fully-commented MATLAB®/Simulink® simulation environment made accessible at insert URL here to produce simulations relevant to all of the topics covered in the text. A solutions manual for use by instructors adopting the book can also be downloaded from insert URL here.Feedback Control is suitable as a main textbook for graduate and final-year undergraduate courses containing control modules; knowledge of ordinary linear differential equations, Laplace transforms, transfer functions, poles and zeros, root locus and elementary frequency response analysis, and elementary feedback control is required. It is also a useful reference source on control design methods for engineers practicing in industry and for academic control researchers.…
