This book examines the conflict between the traditional School for All educational model in Nordic European countries and more recent neo-liberal policies. It reveals a way to balance tradition, insti
"Preface On reflection, it should be noted that the foundation of the five editions of this book was the textbook authored by J. J. D'Azzo and C. H. Houpis, Feedback Control System Analysis and Design
The book exemplifies how to synthesize new control thinking with an understanding of process variability, to diagnose abnormalities and their causes in aluminum producing plants. Most examples also de
Significantly revised and updated, the new Model Child Care Health Policies, 5th Edition is amust-have tool to foster adoption and implemenation of best practices for health and safety in group care s
Since publication of the second edition, there have been extensive changes in the algorithms, methods, and assumptions in energy management systems that analyze and control power generation. This edi
This book shows how powerful the simple common sense approach can be in engineering, manufacturing, and quality control processes. Have you ever thought that these processes were overburdened with irr
The International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib) is a pre-normative organization. 'Pre-normative' implies pioneering work in codification. This work has now been realized with the fib Model
Reviews of first edition:“This book tells every healthcare professional all they need to know about infection control… A user-friendly, valuable source of knowledge on a subject that can be confusing
This volume contains essays that explore explicit and implicit communication through linguistic research. Taking as a framework Paul Grice’s theories on “what is said,” the contributors explore a numb
This monograph provides an introduction to the concept of invariance entropy, the central motivation of which lies in the need to deal with communication constraints in networked control systems. For
Nonlinear models of elastic and visco-elastic one-dimensional continuous structures (beams andcables) are formulated. Several models of increasing complexity are dealt with: straight/curved,planar/non
James H. Lebovic explores the logic of seeking peace in an arms race. Flawed Logics offers a compelling intellectual history of U.S.-Russian strategic nuclear arms control. Lebovic thoroughly reviews
Sweetening The Pill questions the truth of all that we have come to believe about the birth control pill and asks whether, under the cover of liberation, hormonal contraceptives have oppressed women.

This book presents an overview of the most fundamental aspects of the theory that underlies the Relational Database Model. As such it is self-contained though experience with formal models and abstrac
Elliptic partial differential equations is one of the main and most active areas in mathematics. In our book we study linear and nonlinear elliptic problems in divergence form, with the aim of providi
A fresh analysis of both the hidden and explicit philosophical ideas to be found in crime literatureJosef Hoffmann covers influences and inspirations in crime writing with references to a stellar cast
By 1941, a nascent statehood movement began to coalesce into an active and explicit secession campaign seeking to carve from Northern California and Southern Oregon a new State of Jefferson. Yreka,
These lecturers provide a clear introduction to Lie group methods for determining and using symmetries of differential equations, a variety of their applications in gas dynamics and other nonlinear mo
During the past three decades, the development of nonlinear analysis, dynamical systems and their applications to science and engineering has stimulated renewed enthusiasm for the theory of Ordinary D

This book presents thirteen papers, representing the most significant advances and current trends in nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws and related analysis with applications. Topics covered inclu
How should firms’ control systems be designed and used to formulate and implement strategies that will contribute to competitive advantage and sustained high performance? This book offers some thought
This book presents the main aspects of the response functions theory (RFT) for molecular solutes described within the framework of the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM), highlighting both applications
?The eigenvalue problems for quasilinear and nonlinear operators present many differences with the linear case, and a Lyapunov inequality for quasilinear resonant systems showed the existence of eige
Focusing on research surrounding aspects of insufficiently studied problems of estimation and optimal control of random fields, this book exposes some important aspects of those fields for systems mod
Furthering the aim of reducing human exposure to hazardous environments, this monograph presents a detailed study of the modeling and control of vehicle-manipulator systems. The text shows how complex
"Developing the essential theory for architecting and tackling issues faced during complex realistic engineering problems, this volume focuses on enhanced anti-disturbance control and filtering theory
This book is a good discussion of various air pollution control equipment. It covers a wide range of equipment and gives a good overview of the principles and applications. Very valuable is the practi
This book addresses the core issues involved in the dynamic modeling, simulation and control of a selection of energy systems such as gas turbines, wind turbines, fuel cells and batteries. The princip
Buckminster Fuller reminds us, “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.” This book provides just that model,
Artificial neural networks are most suitable for solving problems that are complex, ill-defined, highly nonlinear, of many and different variables, and/or stochastic. Such problems are abundant in med
