For courses in electrical & computing engineering. Feedback
control fundamentals with context, case studies, and a focus on
design Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems, 8th Edition, covers the
material that every engineer needs to know about feedback
control-including concepts like stability, tracking, and
robustness. Each chapter presents the fundamentals along with
comprehensive, worked-out examples, all within a real-world context
and with historical background provided. The text is devoted to
supporting students equally in their need to grasp both traditional
and more modern topics of digital control, and the author's focus
on design as a theme early on, rather than focusing on analysis
first and incorporating design much later. An entire chapter is
devoted to comprehensive case studies, and the 8th Edition has been
revised with up-to-date information, along with brand-new sections,
problems, and examples
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This monograph is devoted to the existence and stability
(Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability and asymptotic stability) of
solutions for various classes of functional differential equations
or inclusions involving the Hadamard or Hilfer fractional
derivative. Some equations present delay which may be finite,
infinite, or state-dependent. Others are subject to impulsive
effect which may be fixed or non-instantaneous.Readers will find
the book self-contained and unified in presentation. It provides
the necessary background material required to go further into the
subject and explores the rich research literature in detail. Each
chapter concludes with a section devoted to notes and
bibliographical remarks and all abstract results are illustrated by
examples. The tools used include many classical and modern
nonlinear analysis methods such as fixed-point theorems, as well as
some notions of Ulam stability, attractivity and the measure of
non-compactness as well as the measure of weak noncompactness. It
is useful for researchers and graduate students for research,
seminars, and advanced graduate courses, in pure and applied
mathematics, physics, mechanics, engineering, biology, and all
other applied sciences.
This book provides a simplified description of how to design an
underwater swimming robot, inspired by the mechanism of the
Labriform mode of fish. This style of swimming depends on the
pectoral fins only as a main locomotor for movement. A unique model
with fins having a concave shape allows the highest thrust force to
be achieved during the power period and the lowest drag force
during the recovery period, especially if the velocity values
between the powering and recovery periods are manipulated.Besides
the ability to swim quickly, the proposed model was also inspired
by a method of maneuvering based on the principle of differential
drive for two-wheel mobile robot, achieving the minimum turning
radius by controlling the speed of the rowing fins.Also, by
applying the technique of the diving model used by gliders, the
robot achieves underwater gliding by changing the center of the
body's mass. Thus, the robot obtains the ability to dive and float
in a manner similar to the Sawtooth wave.All the mentioned tasks
were conducted via laboratory experiments and proven to be both
effective and efficient.

This book analyzes contemporary changes in immigration and
integration policy in the wake of populism and rise of right-wing
parties across the world. It examines how, in the face of
substantial migratory flows, rising security concerns regarding
immigration, and a refugee crisis of unprecedented levels, member
states of the European Union have responded by calling for
restrictive immigration policies, border patrolling, and
intensified integration programs. Focusing on Denmark and Sweden,
the volume employs a unified theoretical framework to look at how
internal political debates, institutional patterns, constitutional
frameworks, and political competition are key to a systematic
explanation of immigration and integration policy changes in
Europe. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and
researchers of migration and diaspora studies, public policy,
politics and international relations, sociology, and social
anthropology, as well as government officials, think tanks, and
policymakers.

Satisfaction is an intense, introspective novel that explores the
intimate thoughts, feelings and impressions of Mme Akli, a French
woman living in Algeria in the late 1970s. Mme Akli is a possessive
mother in conflict with her own sexuality in a country that feels
alien to her. The acquiescence of Catherine Bousba, mother of her
son's best friend Bruce, will cause a turmoil of emotional events.
Through a narrative charged with sensuality and repressed passion,
we navigate Mme Akli's complex and paradoxical feelings towards her
own son, Catherine, Bruce and the Algerian landscape. The
representation of a troubled motherhood that echoes the tumultuous
political situation of Algeria at the time, opens the story to
wider community issues.

This volume explores the historical trajectory of the spread of
Islam in South Asia and how the engagements of the past have played
a crucial role in the making of the present outfits of South Asian
Islam. Islam in South Asia has maintained a distinct role while
imbibing cultural, social, ethnic, folk, and artistic networks of
the subcontinent in diverse echelons. In an unequivocal analysis,
this volume showcases the visible varieties of Islam from an array
of regional cultural, ethnic, and vernacular groups. While many
characteristics remain distinct in different provinces or regions
of South Asia, similarities are palpable in etiquettes, customary
laws, art, and architecture. More than regional differences,
various ethnic groups from all poles of the Indian subcontinent
have paved the way for the dissimilar landscapes of Islam, in
tandem with differences in language, culture, and festivals. The
case studies in this book exhibit forms of cultural pluralism in
the communities, which have helped in building a cohesive
community. Part of the ‘Global Islamic Cultures’ series that
looks at integrated and indigenized Islam, this book will be of
interest to students and researchers of religion, religious
history, theology, study of Islamic law and politics, cultural
studies, and South Asian Studies. It will also be useful to general
readers who are interested in world religions and cultures.

the classical Islamic period in history and the developments in
education which have emanated from it. Volume II focuses on
education in Eastern Europe and Muslim Asia, capturing the
essential issues in each of the countries studied, and how they
vary across a vast region. The impact of culture and modernization

East and Muslim Africa. Islam has its origins in the Middle East,
and today many of the challenges Muslims face in relation to Islam
and education are concentrated in this region. Volume IV explores
the education of Muslims in North America and Europe, and of
minorities in advanced liberal secular democracies. Islam and
Education is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive
introduction newly written by the editor.

Examining countries where religious pluralism is in decline,
including Iraq, India, Pakistan and Nigeria, this book brings
together reflections, knowledge and learning about the daily
experiences of religiously marginalized groups, generated using
participatory research methods. It also showcases the participatory
methodologies implemented by its international team of contributors
and highlights the importance of using non-extractive methods for
engaging with participants. Including a careful consideration of
the ethics and limitations of participatory research with
marginalized groups, the book reflects on the implications for
people’s agency when research creates space for them to reflect
on their realities in a group setting and uses methods which put
their own experience and analysis at the centre of the process.

While Africa is the biggest recipient of aid globally, the terms,
conditions and principles upon which aid is delivered are rarely
defined by the people of Africa - although it is for them that this
aid, at least rhetorically, is meant to create positive change.
With the current global economic crisis and high-level meetings on
aid effectiveness, the debate on aid to Africa is resurgent. Coming
from the diverse perspectives of African social commentators,
academics and activists including Demba Moussa Dembele, Patrick
Bond, Samir Amin and Charles Mutasa, this comprehensive volume
explores the premise, history and foundation upon which the concept
of aid is based. It considers aid's relationship to the broader
development discourse in Africa, the politics and power dynamics of
aid mechanisms and how the emergence of powers such as China and
India are redefining the global aid architecture. Aid to Africa
considers how to create a more just aid system that contributes to
Africa's development while also elaborating alternative approaches
that understand the inherent inequity of aid. Critically, this book
provides a framework not merely to render aid more effective,
something which the current mainstream discourse is grappling to
define, but to create an alternative African development paradigm
from Pan-Africanist, feminist and other perspectives.
