Dena Rosslere, "Developments in Ceramic Materials Research"
Nova Science Publishers | 2008-02 | ISBN: 1600217702 | 292 pages | PDF | 9,9 MB
Ceramics are refractory, inorganic, and non-metallic materials. They can be divided into two classes: traditional and advanced. Traditional ceramics include clay products, silicate glass and cement; while advanced ceramics consist of carbides (SiC), pure oxides (Al2O3), nitrides (Si3N4), non-silicate glasses and many others. Ceramics offer many advantages compared to other materials. They are harder and stiffer than steel; more heat and corrosion resistant than metals or polymers; less dense than most metals and their alloys; and their raw materials are both plentiful and inexpensive. Ceramic materials display a wide range of properties which facilitate their use in many different product areas. This new book presents leading-edge research in this field from around the world.

Zhihua Qu, "Cooperative Control of Dynamical Systems: Applications to Autonomous Vehicles"
Springer | 2009-02-26 | ISBN: 184882324X | 325 pages | PDF | 2,7 MB
Whether providing automated passenger transport systems, exploring the hostile depths of the ocean or assisting soldiers in battle, autonomous vehicle systems are becoming an important fact of modern life. Distributed sensing and communication networks allow neighboring vehicles to share information autonomously, to interact with an operator, and to coordinate their motion to exhibit certain cooperative behaviors. The less structured the operating environment and the more changes the vehicle network experiences, the more difficult to grapple with problems of control become.




Cooperative Control of Dynamical Systems begins with a concise overview of cooperative behaviors and the modeling of constrained non-linear dynamical systems like ground, aerial, and underwater vehicles. A review of useful concepts from system theory is included. New results on cooperative control of linear and non-linear systems and on control of individual non-holonomic systems are presented. Control design in autonomous-vehicle applications moves evenly from open-loop steering control and feedback stabilization of an individual vehicle to cooperative control of multiple vehicles. This progression culminates in a decentralized control hierarchy requiring only local feedback information.

A number of novel methods are presented: parameterisation for collision avoidance and real-time optimisation in path planning; near optimal tracking and regulation control of non-holonomic chained systems; the matrix-theoretical approach to cooperative stability analysis of linear networked systems; the comparative argument of Lyapunov function components for analysing non-linear cooperative systems; and cooperative control designs. These methods are used to generate solutions of guaranteed performance for the fundamental problems of:

• optimised collision-free path planning;

• near-optimal stabilization of non-holonomic systems; and

• cooperative control of heterogenous dynamical systems, including non-holonomic systems.

Examples, simulations and comparative studies bring immediacy to the fundamental issues while illustrating the theoretical foundations and the technical approaches and verifying the performance of the final control designs.

Researchers studying non-linear systems, control of networked systems, or mobile robot systems will find the wealth of new methods and solutions laid out in this book to be of great interest to their work. Engineers designing and building autonomous vehicles will also benefit from these ideas, and students will find this a valuable reference.

Pages:193 | PDF | Vs Verlag; Auflage: 1 (15. Juli 2008)) | ISBN 3531159933 | 1 MB
Im Kontext der stationären Jugendhilfe gehört Gewalt mittlerweile zum Alltag. Die in diesem Handlungsfeld arbeitenden Pädagogen stehen gewalttätigem Verhalten oft hilflos gegenüber, da existierende Analysen und Hilfeansätze häufig unzureichend sind. Computersimulationsprogramme könnten hier Abhilfe schaffen. Matthias Herrmann stellt die praktische Anwendung von Computersimulationsprogrammen vor, die von der Forschungsgruppe COBASC (Computer Based Analysis of Social Complexity) um Jürgen Klüver entwickelt wurde. Erzeigt, dass Simulationstechniken für sozialwissenschaftliche und insbesondere sozialpädagogische Problemstellungen adäquate Analyse- und Steuerungsinstrumente darstellen. Die praktische Anwendung des sogenannten ?Soft Computing? erfolgt durch die Simulation einer realen Gruppe von Jugendlichen innerhalb einer Einrichtung der stationären Jugendhilfe.

Mansoor Niaz, "Critical Appraisal of Physical Science as a Human Enterprise: Dynamics of Scientific Progress (Science & Technology Education Library)"
Springer | 2009-02-04 | ISBN: 1402096259 | 232 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB
The objective of this book is to reconstruct historical episodes and experiments that have been important in scientific progress, and to explore the role played by controversies and rivalries among scientists. Although progress in science has been replete with controversies, scientists themselves either ignore or simply downplay their role. Such presentations lack the appreciation of the dynamics of ‘science-in-the-making’. This book provides methodological guidelines - based on a historical perspective of philosophy of science - that facilitate an understanding of historical episodes beyond that of inductive generalizations. These guidelines suggest that progress in science is not merely based on the accumulation of experimental data, but rather dependent on the creative imagination of the scientific community.




This work shows that interpretation of experimental data is difficult and inevitably leads to alternative models/theories thus facilitating the understanding of science as a human enterprise.

Springer | 2009-03-01 | ISBN: 354088551X | 421 pages | PDF | 18,8 MB
Lake Baikal is the oldest, deepest and most voluminous lake on Earth, comprising one fifth of the World’s unfrozen fresh water. It hosts the highest number of endemic animals recorded in any freshwater lake. Until recently it remained enigmatic why such a high diversity evolved in the isolated Lake Baikal. Focusing on the sponges (phylum Porifera) as an example, some answers are provided to fundamental questions on evolutionary forces. The characteristic feature of these animals is that they form their polymeric silicic acid skeleton enzymatically. This process is explored using modern molecular biological and cellular biological techniques to outline strategies to fabricate novel materials applicable in biomedicine and nanooptics.

Transport Infrastructure Investment: Options for Efficiency
Oecd publishing | 2008-02-29 | ISBN: 928210155X | PDF | Pages 236 | 3.49 MB
Surface transport plays a fundamental role in nearly all social and economic activity. Providing and maintaining the infrastructure consumes enormous resources. Thus, it is essential that this be carried out in the most efficient and effective way possible. Many options are available to provide surface transport infrastructure public ministries and agencies, public-private partnerships (PPPs), state-owned companies, private and non-profit entities, and outright privatisation. There are also various means of paying for it, including user charging, subsidies, public borrowing or private financing. This report examines key principles that should be considered by governments in deciding how to provide and pay for surface transport infrastructure, with a view to best serving societies needs and employing public resources.
