Inversion Method in the Discrete-time Nonlinear Control Systems Synthesis Problems By (auth.), Ülle Kotta DSc (eds.)
1995 | 155 Pages | ISBN: 3540199667 | PDF | 7 MB
The purpose of this book is twofold: To survey control system design methods based on the system inversion technique and to collect into one place the many recent results in the field. It has been known for some time that inverse systems may be used to solve numerous control problems. Despite the importance and conceptual simplicity of this topic there appears to be no monograph written on it. The purpose of this work is therefore to present and apply a systematic design method which bases itself on the fundamental system property of invertibility. Many different theoretical and practical aspects are considered in this volume working from elementary topics in the first section to current research in the second.
Introduction to Advanced Electrodynamics by Kaushik Bhattacharya
English | PDF | 2021 | 371 Pages | ISBN : 9811678014 | 4.5 MB
This book summarizes the basics of electricity and magnetism prior to covariant formulation of Maxwell's equations. The book works out the basics of special relativity and then applies the covariant formalism to understand radiation, both in vacuum and in material medium. The emphasis is on cleaner mathematical formalism based on experimental facts. The book contains many problems/exercises which will help the students to understand the basics of the subject.

Manuel DeLanda, "Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy "
English | ISBN: 1780937997 | 2013 | 248 pages | PDF | 1446 KB
First published 10 years ago, Manuel DeLanda's Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy rapidly established itself as a landmark text in contemporary continental thought. DeLanda here draws on the realist philosophy of Gilles Deleuze to the domain of philosophy of science. As well as contemporary philosophical insights, the book also tackles new developments in geometry, complexity theory and chaos theory to bring new insights to our understanding of a scientific knowledge liberated from traditional ideas of essence.
Integrated Procedures in Facial Cosmetic Surgery by Seied Omid Keyhan
English | PDF | 2021 | 975 Pages | ISBN : 3030469921 | 145 MB
Physical attractiveness of the face has a significant impact on the social life and daily interaction of individuals as well as one's general perception of life. Proper surgical planning for aesthetic facial surgery requires a meticulous analysis of the patient's current and desired facial features from the perspective of both soft and hard tissues. Significantly greater changes to facial aesthetics can be made via the alteration of the main bony structures of the face than by alteration of soft tissue and skin alone. Various surgical and clinical techniques are available for the augmentation, reduction or refinement of the most prominent aspects of facial aesthetics, such as alterations to the cheek, chin, nose, para-nasal area, as well as the angle of the jaw.
Inorganic Radicals, Metal Complexes and Nonconjugated Carbon Centered Radicals. Part 2 By H. Fischer (auth.), H. Fischer (eds.)
2006 | 346 Pages | ISBN: 3540432779 | PDF | 3 MB
Volume II/26 supplements the previous compilations II/l, II/9 and II/17 of the magnetic properties of free radicals. Due to the still rapid growth of the field and the necessary inclusion of new subjects the volume is divided into subvolumes which will appear in fast succession. Together with the earlier publications volume II/26 offers an up-to-date and comprehensive survey and collection of structures and data on the important chemical intermediates, namely radicals, polyradicals and related species such as carbenes. As before the species have been grouped according to chemical aspects. For each group of substances the literature has been compiled and extracted by experts in the fields. For the reader's convenience an index of substances follows in the last subvolume.
