The ultimate objective of any controls text is to teach students how to achieve the best possible design. In this new text, Wolovich integrates classical and modern techniques, systematically develops
The fundamentals guiding labor historians are under scrutiny today as never before. The field has attempted to uncover the socioeconomic conditions that produced labor militancy and class consciousnes
In light of the growing importance and availability of intense x-ray sources and position-sensitive detectors, this book offers comprehensive treatment of the principles, instrumentation, and applicat
Presents techniques that have proven their effectiveness through repeated use and that are illustrative of reactions or procedures which can be applied to other cases. Volume 8 highlights applications
Based on a two-year study for the Ford Foundation by the Henry L. Stimson Center, this volume includes 20 case studies of UN peacekeeping from 1947 to 1991. Besides providing a chronological overview
The main focus is on the development of parallel algorithms on massively parallel computers, although some architectural issues are addressed. SIMD parallel algorithms are discussed in several general
Large transaction-processing applications, such as banking, flight reservations, telecommunications, and networking, demand increasingly high throughput and fast response times. Coupling multiple syst
This book introduces the methods of synoptic climatology - the relationship between the atmospheric circulation and the surface environment - and shows the vital importance of this approach in the und
This book takes the standard methods as the starting point, and then describes a wide range of relatively new approaches and procedures designed to deal with more complicated data and experiments - in
Ever since the groundbreaking work of J.J. Kohn in the early 1960s, there has been a significant interaction between the theory of partial differential equations and the function theory of several com

Eugene Narmour formulates a comprehensive theory of melodic syntax to explain cognitive relations between melodic tones at their most basic level. Expanding on the theories of Leonard B. Meyer, the a
The author (particularly since French elegance is instinctive to him) is to be commended for the realism with which he has undertaken to introduce graduate and advanced undergraduate students of physi
This is the first book to summarize the different instrumental approaches used to study surface reactions and interactions of geologic materials. Techniques useful for obtaining both qualitative and q
Scientific progress often begins with the difficult task of preparing informed, conclusive reviews of existing research. Since the 1970s, the traditional "subjective" approach to research reviewing in
