Soft computing, intelligent robotics and control are in the core
interest of contemporary engineering. Essential characteristics of
soft computing methods are the ability to handle vague information,
to apply human-like reasoning, their learning capability and ease
of application. Soft computing techniques are widely applied in the
control of dynamic systems, including mobile robots. The present
volume is a collection of 20 chapters written by respectable
experts of the fields, addressing various theoretical and practical
aspects in soft computing, intelligent robotics and control.
The first part of the book concerns with issues of intelligent
robotics, including robust xed point transformation design,
experimental verification of the input-output feedback
linearization of differentially driven mobile robot and applying
kinematic synthesis to micro electro-mechanical systems design.
The second part of the book is devoted to fundamental aspects of
soft computing. This includes practical aspects of fuzzy rule
interpolation, subjective weights based meta learning in multi
criteria decision making, swarm-based heuristics for an area
exploration and knowledge driven adaptive product
representations.
The last part addresses different problems, issues and methods
of applied mathematics. This includes perturbation estimates for
invariant subspaces of Hessenberg matrices, uncertainty and
nonlinearity modelling by probabilistic metric spaces and
comparison and visualization of the DNA of six primates.
This book starts with the basic concepts of fuzzy sets and
progresses througha normative view on possibility distributions and
OWA operators in multiple criteria decisions.
Five applications (that all build on experience from solving
complex real world problems)of possibility distributions to
strategic decisions about closing/not closinga production plant
using fuzzy real options, portfolio selection with imprecise future
data, predictive probabilities and possibilities for risk
assessment in grid computing, fuzzy ontologies for process
industry, and design (and implementation) of mobile value
servicesare presented and carefully discussed. It can be useful for
researchers and students workingin soft computing, real options,
fuzzy decision making, grid computing, knowledge mobilization
andmobile value services."
This book shows how the application of fuzzy logic can benefit
management, group decision making, strategic planning, supply chain
management and other business imperatives. The theoretical analysis
is fully supported by real-life case studies. The book develops
themes that businesses can use to master effectiveness and quality,
work with flexibility, and support continuous learning in the
organization and the individual.

Title: Robert F. Murray ... his Poems, with a memoir by Andrew
Lang. L.P.Publisher: British Library, Historical Print EditionsThe
British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom. It
is one of the world's largest research libraries holding over 150
million items in all known languages and formats: books, journals,
newspapers, sound recordings, patents, maps, stamps, prints and
much more. Its collections include around 14 million books, along
with substantial additional collections of manuscripts and
historical items dating back as far as 300 BC.The POETRY &
DRAMA collection includes books from the British Library digitised
by Microsoft. The books reflect the complex and changing role of
literature in society, ranging from Bardic poetry to Victorian
verse. Containing many classic works from important dramatists and
poets, this collection has something for every lover of the stage

Many decision-making tasks are too complex to be understood
quantitatively, however, humans succeed by using knowledge that is
imprecise rather than precise. Fuzzy logic resembles human
reasoning in its use of imprecise informa tion to generate
decisions. Unlike classical logic which requires a deep under
standing of a system, exact equations, and precise numeric values,
fuzzy logic incorporates an alternative way of thinking, which
allows modeling complex systems using a higher level of abstraction
originating from our knowledge and experience. Fuzzy logic allows
expressing this knowledge with subjective concepts such as very big
and a long time which are mapped into exact numeric ranges. Since
knowledge can be expressed in a more natural by using fuzzy sets,
many decision (and engineering) problems can be greatly simplified.
Fuzzy logic provides an inference morphology that enables
approximate human reasoning capabilities to be applied to
knowledge-based systems. The theory of fuzzy logic provides a
mathematical strength to capture the un certainties associated with
human cognitive processes, such as thinking and reasoning. The
conventional approaches to knowledge representation lack the means
for representating the meaning of fuzzy concepts. As a consequence,
the approaches based on first order logic do not provide an
appropriate con ceptual framework for dealing with the
representation of commonsense knowl edge, since such knowledge is
by its nature both lexically imprecise and non categorical."

Two baffling concepts have always confronted Christianity: the
doctrine of the trinity and the subject of Christology. Both
subjects deal with the inexplicable mysteries of how God became
incarnate in Jesus Christ, and when did Jesus know He was God? The
author believes the subject of the trinity is actually simple and
easily understood from a scriptural perspective. This book is for
anyone who wants to know about the preexistence of Jesus Christ,
for believers who might be unsure about their personal salvation,
and for all Christians who want the entire message of how and why
Jesus is the Son of God. Robert Fuller is an ordained minister
having received his B.A. degree in the Biblical Field from Abilene
Christian University and a M.Ed. degree from the University of
North Texas. Mr. Fuller states: "I was raised a Trinitarian as
defined by the Nicene Counsel of 325 A.D., and was taught
Chalcedonian Christology; yet, it was not until later in life that
I have come to understand the scriptures concerning why and how God
the Son emptied Himself, not of divinity, but of equality with Very
God to become the Son of God and eventually the man Jesus Christ.
Jesus was the Son of God in human form, and fulfilled God's perfect
will so that God the Father gave Him the authoritative name of
Jesus." Jesus was aware of His divinity at His barmitzvah, when He
demonstrated to the temple priest His divine wisdom about the
Torah. Catholics have always been right about Mary being the Mother
of God. She knew Jesus was God in the flesh and no doubt informed
Him early on about His miraculous conception. Jesus' virgin birth
was something Mary just couldn't keep to herself (Luke 1:46-56)
