Optimal Networked Control Systems with MATLAB (R) discusses optimal
controller design in discrete time for networked control systems
(NCS). The authors apply several powerful modern control techniques
in discrete time to the design of intelligent controllers for such
NCS. Detailed derivations, rigorous stability proofs, computer
simulation examples, and downloadable MATLAB (R) codes are included
for each case. The book begins by providing background on NCS,
networked imperfections, dynamical systems, stability theory, and
stochastic optimal adaptive controllers in discrete time for linear
and nonlinear systems. It lays the foundation for reinforcement
learning-based optimal adaptive controller use for finite and
infinite horizons. The text then: Introduces quantization effects
for linear and nonlinear NCS, describing the design of stochastic
adaptive controllers for a class of linear and nonlinear systems
Presents two-player zero-sum game-theoretic formulation for linear
systems in input-output form enclosed by a communication network
Addresses the stochastic optimal control of nonlinear NCS by using
neuro dynamic programming Explores stochastic optimal design for
nonlinear two-player zero-sum games under communication constraints
Treats an event-sampled distributed NCS to minimize transmission of
state and control signals within the feedback loop via the
communication network Covers distributed joint optimal network
scheduling and control design for wireless NCS, as well as the
effect of network protocols on the wireless NCS controller design
An ideal reference for graduate students, university researchers,
and practicing engineers, Optimal Networked Control Systems with
MATLAB (R) instills a solid understanding of neural network
controllers and how to build them.
A trustworthy repository provides assurance in the form of
management documents, event logs, and audit trails that digital
objects are being managed correctly. The assurance includes plans
for the sustainability of the repository, the accession of digital
records, the management of technology evolution, and the mitigation
of the risk of data loss. A detailed assessment is provided by the
ISO-16363:2012 standard, "Space data and information transfer
systems-Audit and certification of trustworthy digital
repositories." This book examines whether the ISO specification for
trustworthiness can be enforced by computer actionable policies. An
implementation of the policies is provided and the policies are
sorted into categories for procedures to manage externally
generated documents, specify repository parameters, specify
preservation metadata attributes, specify audit mechanisms for all
preservation actions, specify control of preservation operations,
and control preservation properties as technology evolves. An
application of the resulting procedures is made to enforce
trustworthiness within National Science Foundation data management
plans.
This book provides a comprehensive review of a new generation of
selective oxidation titanosilicate catalysts with the MWW topology
(Ti-MWW) based on the research achievements of the past 12 years.
It gives an overview of the synthesis, structure modification and
catalytic properties of Ti-MWW. Ti-MWW can readily be prepared by
means of direct hydrothermal synthesis with
crystallization-supporting agents, using dual-structure-directing
agents and a dry-gel conversion technique. It also can be
post-synthesized through unique reversible structure transformation
and liquid-phase isomorphous substitution. The structural
conversion of Ti-MWW into the materials usable for processing large
molecules is summarized. Taking advantage of the structure
diversity of the lamellar precursor of Ti-MWW, it can be fully or
partially delaminated, and undergo interlayer silylation to obtain
a novel structure with larger porosity. In the selective oxidation
(alkene epoxidation and ketone/aldehyde ammoximation) with hydrogen
peroxide or organic peroxide as an oxidant, the unique catalytic
properties of Ti-MWW are described in comparison to conventional
titanosilicates such as TS-1 and Ti-Beta.
This is the thirteenth issue (Vol. 7, No. 1, July 2019) of the
Notices of the International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (or
ICCM Notices, for short), the official periodical of the ICCM
organization. This special issue honors Shing-Tung Yau on the
occasion of his 70th birthday. Published semi-annually, the Notices
bring news, research, and presentation of various perspectives,
relevant to Chinese mathematics development and education. Readers
of the Notices will find research papers on various topics by
prominent experts from around the world, interesting and timely
articles on current applications and trends, biographical and
historical essays, profiles of important institutions of research
and learning, and more.
This book discusses several important issues in the practice of
China's green development. It analyzes the carbon mitigation, water
conservation and environmental pollution from the perspectives of
economic development, technological change, production and demand.
The book uses various quantitative methods to reveal the pathways
of China's green development. The methods include Log Mean Divisia
Index, input-output analysis, structural decomposition analysis,
data envelope analysis, econometric methods and computable general
equilibrium model. The findings, discussions and policy
implications of this book contribute to the theory and policy
studies in China's green development.

Understand the future of optical imaging with this cutting-edge
guide Optoelectronic devices for imaging and sensing are among the
backbones of modern technology. Facilitating the mutual conversion
of optical and electrical signals, they have applications from
telecommunications to molecular spectroscopy, and their
incorporation into photon-involved technologies is only growing.
The rapid development of this field makes the need for a fully
up-to-date introduction all the more critical. Optical Imaging and
Sensing meets this need with a comprehensive guide to the novel
materials and devices employed in optical imaging and sensing.
Given the current revolution in new imaging materials, an
introduction that fully incorporates the latest research is an
indispensable tool for scientists and engineers in a huge range of
fields. The technologies surveyed here promise to transform public
security, 5G and next-generation wireless communication, clinical
imaging, and many more. Optical Imaging and Sensing Readers will
also find: Detailed discussion of materials including semimetallic
graphene, semiconducting black phosphorous, and many more
Discussion of devices from infrared photodetectors to nonlinear
interferometers A thorough look forward to the future of the field
Optical Imaging and Sensing is a useful reference for materials
scientists, spectroscopists, semiconductor physicists, and
engineers working in any field or industry involving optical
imaging or sensing technology.
This book discusses effective and alternative uses for natural gas
(NG) and highlights the utilization of NG in the field of methane
activation and chemical production. It details the techniques used
during the reforming process of petrochemical and bio-derived fuels
and it presents cutting-edge research that describes the
utilization of NG that enables it to be more cost-effective and
eliminate the expensive greenhouse gas emitting process of hydrogen
production. The book addresses three major topics: NG use in
upstream heavy oil and bitumen upgrading, NG and its use in
downstream oil refining through co-aromatization of various feeds
in the petrochemical industry, and NG use in the upgrading of
bio-derived fuels and discusses alternative uses of NG. In-depth
chapters demonstrate uses for NG beyond heating homes, through
catalysis and in-situ hydrogen donation, and its potential
applications for the petrochemical and biofuel industries.
