Algebraic Identification and Estimation Methods in Feedback Control Systems presents a model-based algebraic approach to online parameter and state estimation in uncertain dynamic feedback control systems. This approach evades the mathematical intricacies of the traditional stochastic approach, proposing a direct model-based scheme with several easy-to-implement computational advantages. The approach can be used with continuous and discrete, linear and nonlinear, mono-variable and multi-variable...

Robert Hughes once described Michael Sorkin as “unique in America–brave, principled, highly informed and fiercely funny.” All Over the Map confirms all of these superlatives as Sorkin assaults “the national security city, with its architecture of manufactured fear.”
A new and innovative paradigm for RF frequency synthesis and wireless transmitter design Learn the techniques for designing and implementing an all-digital RF frequency synthesizer. In contrast to traditional RF techniques, this innovative book sets forth digitally intensive design techniques that lead the way to the development of low-cost, low-power, and highly integrated circuits for RF functions in deep submicron CMOS processes. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate how the architecture...
Die Perfektion der Mucke oder ein Reisefuhrer in die NANO-Welt Alles NANO, oder was? Das fragen sich immer mehr Menschen. Die Computer werden intelligenter, die Handys kleiner. Die Nanotechnologie bietet schon heute beachtliche Anwendungen. Noch mehr allerdings faszinieren die Moglichkeiten, die in der Zukunft liegen, zum Beispiel in der Medizin. Konnen spezielle Nanopartikel tatsachlich bald gezielt Krebszellen attackieren? Zeit fur eine Bestandsaufnahme: Was ist Nanotechnologie? Wo kommt sie...
