Spacecraft Dynamics and Control: The Embedded Model Control Approach provides a uniform and systematic way of approaching space engineering control problems from the standpoint of model-based control, using state-space equations as the key paradigm for simulation, design and implementation. The book introduces the Embedded Model Control methodology for the design and implementation of attitude and orbit control systems. The logic architecture is organized around the embedded model of the spacecraft and its surrounding environment. The model is compelled to include disturbance dynamics as a repository of the uncertainty that the control law must reject to meet attitude and orbit requirements within the uncertainty class. The source of the real-time uncertainty estimation/prediction is the model error signal, as it encodes the residual discrepancies between spacecraft measurements and model output. The embedded model and the uncertainty estimation feedback (noise estimator in the book) constitute the state predictor feeding the control law. Asymptotic pole placement (exploiting the asymptotes of closed-loop transfer functions) is the way to design and tune feedback loops around the embedded model (state predictor, control law, reference generator). The design versus the uncertainty class is driven by analytic stability and performance inequalities. The method is applied to several attitude and orbit control problems.

This book provides a systematic development of the Rubio de Francia theory of extrapolation, its many generalizations and its applications to one and two-weight norm inequalities. The book is based upon a new and elementary proof of the classical extrapolation theorem that fully develops the power of the Rubio de Francia iteration algorithm. This technique allows us to give a unified presentation of the theory and to give important generalizations to Banach function spaces and to two-weight inequalities. We provide many applications to the classical operators of harmonic analysis to illustrate our approach, giving new and simpler proofs of known results and proving new theorems. The book is intended for advanced graduate students and researchers in the area of weighted norm inequalities, as well as for mathematicians who want to apply extrapolation to other areas such as partial differential equations.

This collection of articles and surveys is devoted to Harmonic Analysis, related Partial Differential Equations and Applications and in particular to the fields of research to which Richard L. Wheeden made profound contributions. The papers deal with Weighted Norm inequalities for classical operators like Singular integrals, fractional integrals and maximal functions that arise in Harmonic Analysis. Other papers deal with applications of Harmonic Analysis to Degenerate Elliptic equations, variational problems, Several Complex variables, Potential theory, free boundaries and boundary behavior of functions.

El proposito de este estudio es destacar algunos aspectos historicos sobresalientes de la condicion de la mujer en las sociedades islamicas. No se intenta discernir de modo estricto el trazado evolutivo de su desarrollo historico, sino presentar una imagen razonablemente inteligible que acomode sus particularidades mas preocupantes. Se puntualiza la ambiguedad de algunos pasajes de la sunna y se los contrasta con el texto coranico. Se identifican algunos de los supuestos conceptuales de la ley islamica, sharia, que contribuyeron a su decadencia y desprestigio. Se destacan algunos rasgos fundamentales preocupantes de la condicion de la mujer presentes tambien en culturas islamicas no regidas estrictamente por la sharia tomando como punto de partida su trasfondo coranico y sus antecedentes en la sunna o tradicion musulmana. Alli donde las afirmaciones de la sunna concernientes a Mahoma se muestran contradictorias, no se intenta conciliar sus diferencias. Las alusiones a la sharia, o ley islamica, se circunscriben principalmente a aquellas sociedades musulmanas en las que la jurisprudencia islamica constituye el marco legal vigente. Es un hecho conocido que la renuencia a articular los postulados de "la razon individual" (taqlid), la cerrazon y clausura a toda innovacion (bida'a), el caracter totalitario y su escaso desarrollo a traves de los siglos, unido al impacto devastador del colonialismo europeo y a su concomitante exposicion a sistemas occidentales mas robustos y desarrollados, le asesto un rudo golpe a los sistemas legales islamicos al punto que, la observancia estricta de la sharia en la actualidad es considerada "impracticable" en la inmensa mayoria de las sociedades musulmanas modernas.

'Presente ' transcends the characterisation of immigrants as either criminals or victims by drawing on the first-hand experiences of immigrants and immigrant-led organisations engaged in recent organising struggles. Focusing on Latino and Latina immigrants in the US, and covering the intersections of race, class and immigration, this anthology addresses the misguided notion that undocumented immigrants simply need to legalise their status to eliminate their marginalisation.

This book introduces the reader to how fundamental topics in particle physics can be studied with the largest neutrino telescopes currently in operation. Due to their large size, reaching cubic-kilometer volumes, and their wide energy response, these unusual detectors can provide insight on neutrino oscillations, dark matter searches or searches for exotic particles, new neutrino interactions or extra dimensions, among many other topics.Lacking a man-made neutrino 'beam', neutrino telescopes use the copious flux of neutrinos continuously produced by cosmic rays interacting in the Earth's atmosphere, as well as neutrinos from astrophysical origin. They have therefore access to neutrinos of higher energies and much longer baselines than those produced in present accelerators, being able to search for new physics at complementary scales than currently available in particle physics laboratories around the world.Written by carefully chosen experts in the field, the book introduces each topic in a pedagogical way apt not only to professionals, but also to students or the interested reader with a background in physics.

Jose Aparicio sabe que los grandes proyectos, como las almas grandes, son sustentados por profundas raices forjadas con el trabajo honesto del que no busca destacar sino fluir con la vida. Tras un largo y desafiante trabajo de arquitectura sostenible, Jose Aparicio regresa a Enguera, su pueblo natal. Se alojara en la solariega casa de la familia, hoy cargada de nostalgia. En el pueblo hubo un convento habitado por frailes carmelitas. Atrapado por los recuerdos de la infancia, Jose entra en el. Ante el Sagrario hallo a un anciano que aun asustadizo y esquivo, le miro con clemencia. Dejo la oracion para dirigirse al incognito visitante. Era, Fr. Josephus del Santisimo Sacramento, antiguo prior del convento que, todavia no se habia marchado. Del afecto que surge entre ambos, llevan al carmelita a entregar al joven un manuscrito que le cambiara la vision del mundo. El compendio de pliegos, servira de pretexto, para cada tarde, mantener hondas conversaciones sobre la vida, la muerte, la historia, las creencias, tratados desde la experiencia que dan trescientos anos esperando a que alguien como Jose, apareciera. El porque ha permanecido tanto tiempo Fr. Josephus en silencio y ha tenido que ser un joven arquitecto del pueblo el depositario del manuscrito, lo descubriremos gracias a otros protagonistas: los Patriarcas
