Based on authors’ recent advances, this book focuses on a class
of nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties/disturbances and
discusses their typical control problems. It aims to provide a
comprehensive view of the non-recursive control theory and
application guidelines. Various of applications on the
non-recursive synthesis of complex nonlinear systems not only
greatly simplify the control design process, weaken the system
assumptions, and reduce the conservatism of gain selection, but
also realize the essential detachment of control law design and
Lyapunov function-based stability analysis. Therefore, different
from the classical recursive control design methods, it is of
significance to study the synthesis of nonlinear systems from the
perspective of a new non-recursive control framework. This book
discusses the following typical control problems: theoretical
background, homogeneous systems theory review, non-recursive robust
control design, non-recursive adaptive control design,
non-recursive general dynamic predictive control, disturbance
estimation and attenuation, non-recursive stability analysis,
implementation theory and real-life applications to Series Elastic
Actuators, DC microgrids, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM)
systems, etc. under the proposed non-recursive synthesis framework.
This book will be a great reference to research scholars and
students in the field of automation and control. It will also be a
useful source for control engineers and those working on
anti-disturbance control, nonlinear output regulation, nonsmooth
control, and other related topics.

This book introduces the reliability modelling and optimization of
warm standby systems. Warm standby is an attractive redundancy
technique, as it consumes less energy than hot standby and switches
into the active state faster than cold standby. Since a warm
standby component experiences different failure rates in the
standby state and active state, the reliability evaluation is
challenging and the existing works are only restricted to very
special cases. By adapting the decision diagrams, this book
proposes the methodology to evaluate the reliability of different
types of warm standby systems and studies the reliability
optimization. Compared with existing works, the proposed methods
allow the system to have an arbitrary number of components and
allow the failure time distribution of components to observe
arbitrary distributions. From this book, the readers can not only
learn how to evaluate and optimize the reliability of warm standby
systems but also use the methods to study the reliability of other
complex systems.

This book introduces readers to the main theories of
phytoremediation and its application to arsenic-contaminated soils
in China. The hyperaccumulation theories are introduced, including
the use of hyperaccumulators to remove large amounts of arsenic
without producing toxic symptoms. The use of synchrotron-based
X-ray absorption fine structure radiation to disclose the
hyperaccumulation mechanism - a method that makes it possible to
detect the elements in plant tissues without destroying the sample
- is introduced in detail. This book also includes practical
application cases of phytoremediation, which are rarely found in
the literature. Allowing readers to gain a thorough understanding
of phytoremediation technology, and demonstrating its efficiency in
cleaning arsenic-contaminated soils, the book offers a valuable
asset for graduate students, lecturers, researchers and engineers
in the field of soil remediation.

interest to university researchers, graduate students in control
science and engineering and neural networks who wish to learn the
core principles, methods, algorithms and applications of SNN.
This book introduces the latest research developments in composite
nanomaterials and summarizes the fundamentals and technical
approaches in synthesis, fabrication and processing of composite
nanomaterials. The author describes the intrinsic relationship
between the catalytic properties and the physical and chemical
effects in the composite materials, providing for theoretical and
technical bases for effectively developing novel electrocatalyst -
applications of the nanocomposites in energy conversion areas.
This book discusses how biological molecules exert their function
and regulate biological processes, with a clear focus on how
conformational dynamics of proteins are critical in this respect.
In the last decade, the advancements in computational biology,
nuclear magnetic resonance including paramagnetic relaxation
enhancement, and fluorescence-based ensemble/single-molecule
techniques have shown that biological molecules (proteins, DNAs and
RNAs) fluctuate under equilibrium conditions. The conformational
and energetic spaces that these fluctuations explore likely contain
active conformations that are critical for their function. More
interestingly, these fluctuations can respond actively to external
cues, which introduces layers of tight regulation on the biological
processes that they dictate. A growing number of studies have
suggested that conformational dynamics of proteins govern their
role in regulating biological functions, examples of this
regulation can be found in signal transduction, molecular
recognition, apoptosis, protein / ion / other molecules
translocation and gene expression. On the experimental side, the
technical advances have offered deep insights into the
conformational motions of a number of proteins. These studies
greatly enrich our knowledge of the interplay between structure and
function. On the theoretical side, novel approaches and detailed
computational simulations have provided powerful tools in the study
of enzyme catalysis, protein / drug design, protein / ion / other
molecule translocation and protein folding/aggregation, to name but
a few. This work contains detailed information, not only on the
conformational motions of biological systems, but also on the
potential governing forces of conformational dynamics (transient
interactions, chemical and physical origins, thermodynamic
properties). New developments in computational simulations will
greatly enhance our understanding of how these molecules function
in various biological events.

Large-scale data analytics using machine learning (ML) underpins
many modern data-driven applications. ML systems provide means of
specifying and executing these ML workloads in an efficient and
scalable manner. Data management is at the heart of many ML systems
due to data-driven application characteristics, data-centric
workload characteristics, and system architectures inspired by
classical data management techniques. In this book, we follow this
data-centric view of ML systems and aim to provide a comprehensive
overview of data management in ML systems for the end-to-end data
science or ML lifecycle. We review multiple interconnected lines of
work: (1) ML support in database (DB) systems, (2) DB-inspired ML
systems, and (3) ML lifecycle systems. Covered topics include:
in-database analytics via query generation and user-defined
functions, factorized and statistical-relational learning;
optimizing compilers for ML workloads; execution strategies and
hardware accelerators; data access methods such as compression,
partitioning and indexing; resource elasticity and cloud markets;
as well as systems for data preparation for ML, model selection,
model management, model debugging, and model serving. Given the
rapidly evolving field, we strive for a balance between an
up-to-date survey of ML systems, an overview of the underlying
concepts and techniques, as well as pointers to open research
questions. Hence, this book might serve as a starting point for
both systems researchers and developers.
