If you were to join us in either of our homes at the end of almost
any evening, or if you were to attend one of our retreats, we would
invite you to do with us the process described in these pages. This
book is about asking ourselves two questions: For what am I most
grateful? For what am I least grateful? These questions help us
identify moments of consolation and desolation. We call this
process the examen. "We have given retreats in over forty
countries,and we find that regardless of culture or age group, this
simple process is the most helpful way for people to hear the voice
of God guiding them from within. For example, should people bring
us many questions ranging from, 'Should I change my job?' to What
can help me with my depression?' We usually suggest they spend the
next month focusing each day on the examen questions. Such people
often return a month later having discovered from their own
experience of consolation and desolation exactly what they should
do more of and less of in order to resolve their problem. "For
centuries, prayerful people have found direction for their days and
for their lives by identifying these moments. Since even small
children can do this, we have tried here to present the examen in a
format that families, friends and communities can share and that
will be easily accessible to anyone. We hope the examen will enrich
your lives and your relationships as much as it has ours."
Control Theory is a field of applied mathematics and engineering
that deals with the basic principles underlying the analysis and
design of control systems. "Controlling a system" means to
influence the behavior of the system in order to achieve a desired
goal. Control theory deals with the use of a controller to achieve
this purpose. Control theory has been recognized as a mathematical
subject since the 1960's; it has contributed to scientific and
technological progress in many areas over the last few decades.
Control theory has been extensively used in modern society, from
simple applications such as temperature devices to sophisticated
systems in space flight. The aim of this book is to solve different
problems concerning control systems. This book joins a number of
recent works in control theory and is useful as a source for
researchers in this field concerning control systems.
Multiple disciplines depend on computer programs and software to
predict project challenges, outcomes, and solutions. Through the
use of virtual prototyping, researchers and professionals are
better able to analyze data and improve projects without direct
experimentation, which can be costly or dangerous. The Handbook of
Research on Computational Simulation and Modeling in Engineering is
an authoritative reference source on the computer models and
technologies necessary to enhance engineering structures and
planning for real-world applications. This publication is an
essential resource for academicians, researchers, advanced-level
students, technology developers, and engineers interested in the
advancements taking place at the intersection of computer
technology and the physical sciences. This publication features
chapters on the advanced technologies developed within the field of
engineering including prediction tools, software programs,
algorithms, and theoretical and computational models.
Systems Theory is a transdisciplinary field that involves complex
combinations of different research fields with the purpose to
explain the observed natural phenomena in the world around us. This
field results in the appearance of the General System Theory. The
aim of the present book is to present some of what is being done,
in the 21st century, in different fields that comprise the Systems
Theory. In the several chapters of this book developments of this
theory are presented with the aim to solve different problems of
systems. Different areas are covered, from biology and psychology
to electronics, information sciences and management. The authors
present their research in the study of the synthetic and systems
biology, systems theory of bipolar disorder, unifying principles of
science through physical activities, control of linear and
non-linear systems, class of superquadratic Hamiltonian systems,
systems with propagation, wireless sensor networks, information
systems, and service operations management. This book is a tool
composed by several results in the systems theory of several
research fields with important application in the resolution of the
problem of understanding our world.

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a unique class of materials with the
ability to recover their shape when the temperature is increased.
An increase in temperature can result in shape recovery even under
high applied loads. SMAs can also absorb and dissipate mechanical
energy by undergoing a reversible hysteretic shape change when
subjected to applied mechanical cyclic loading. These
characteristics have made SMAs very popular for applications such
as sensing and actuation, absorption and vibration damping. The
application of SMAs spans a wide variety of industrial sectors such
as aerospace automotive, biomedical and oil exploration. The demand
of joining techniques for SMAs has become of great importance, as
their functional properties, namely shape memory effect and
superelasticity, present unique solutions for state-of-the-art
applications. An investigation was conducted on laser welding of
NiTi alloys aiming at correlating the mechanical cycling behavior
and the microstructure obtained.
