Linear Systems: Non-Fragile Control and Filtering presents the
latest research results and a systematic approach to designing
non-fragile controllers and filters for linear systems. The authors
combine the algebraic Riccati technique, the linear matrix
inequality (LMI) technique, and the sensitivity analysis method to
establish a set of new non-fragile (insensitive) control methods.
This proposed method can optimize the closed-loop system
performance and make the designed controllers or filters tolerant
of coefficient variations in controller or filter gain matrices. A
Systematic Approach to Designing Non-Fragile Controllers and
Filters for Linear Systems The text begins with developments and
main research methods in non-fragile control. It then
systematically presents novel methods for non-fragile control and
filtering of linear systems with respect to additive/multiplicative
controller/filter gain uncertainties. The book introduces the
algebraic Riccati equation technique to solve
additive/multiplicative norm-bounded controller/filter gain
uncertainty, and proposes a structured vertex separator to deal
with the numerical problem resulting from interval-bounded
coefficient variations. It also explains how to design insensitive
controllers and filters in the framework of coefficient sensitivity
theory. Throughout, the book includes numerical examples to
demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design methods. More
Effective Design Methods for Non-Fragile Controllers and Filters

understand and analyze parameter uncertainties and to design more
effective non-fragile controllers and filters. Providing a coherent
approach, this book is a valuable reference for researchers,
graduate students, and anyone who wants to explore the area of
non-fragile control and filtering.

This thesis focuses on the synthesis and vaccine evaluation of the
prostate tumor- associated carbohydrate antigen RM2. The author
first presents the use of the [1+2+3] one-pot sequential strategy
to successfully synthesise the RM2 antigen and its analogues as
single stereoisomers in every glycosylation step, producing good
yields and stereoselectivity. He then introduces the conjugation of
the synthetic RM2 antigen to the carrier protein CRM197 in an
average number of 1-10 to create the prostate cancer vaccine
candidate, which is combined with -galactosylceramide C1, its
analogue C34, or Alu. The results of the vaccination studies in
mice are also described and indicate that the strongest anti-RM2
antigen titer is exhibited when one molecule of diphtheria toxin
(DT) is conjugated with an average of 4.7 molecules of RM2 antigen
(DT-RM4.7) and adjuvanted with the glycolipid C34. More
importantly, the induced mouse antibodies mediate the effective
complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) against the prostate cancer
cell line LNCap. The study presented in this thesis is the first
ever to successfully synthesize this complex glycan molecule. Owing
to the steric hindrance of the adjacent sialyl moiety, the
introduction of two sialic acid units to the compact and rigid 3,4
di branched galactoside unit is very challenging and the -selective
and efficient glycosylation of the galactosamine moiety at the
4-position of di branched galactose is also problematic.
The plant fossil record indicates that the genus Metasequoia was
widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere from the
early Late Cretaceous to the Plio-Pleistocene. Today the genus has
shrunk to one species with approximately 5,000 mature individuals
in southeastern China's Xiahoe Valley. This book distills the
current understanding of the biology, ecology and physiology of
fossil and living Metasequoia, current research directions and
problems that remain unresolved.
Entrusted by the Board of Management of the Pacific Rim Objective
Measurement Symposium (PROMS), PROMS2012 is held in Jiaxing, China
from August 6-9, 2012. Over the past years, PROMS has been hosted
in many parts of the Pacific Rim, in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong
Kong, Taiwan and Tokyo, which has greatly promoted the research of
and contributed to the development of Rasch Model in one way or
another. As early as in 1980s, the ideas and concepts regarding IRT
was first introduced into China by Prof. Gui Shichun, my Ph.D
supervisor, and it is Prof. Gui who first conducted with great
success the ten-year long (1990-1999) Equating Project for
Matriculation English Test (MET) in China. MET is the most
influential entrance examination for higher education administered
annually to over 3.3 million candidates then. The Equating Project
won recognition by Charles Alderson and other foreign counterparts
during 1990s. Academically, those were Good Old Days for Chinese
testing experts and psychometricians. Then for certain reasons, the
equating practice abruptly discontinued. Therefore, in China
nowadays, the application of IRT-based software like BILOG,
Parscale, Iteman 4 and others to real testing problem solving is
confined to an extremely small 'band' of people. In this sense,
PROMS2012 meets an important need in that it provides an excellent
introduction of IRT and its application. And anyone who is
seriously interested in research and development in the field of
psychometrics or language testing will find such a symposium and
related workshops to be an excellent source of information about
the application of Rasch Model. PROMS2012 focuses on recent
advances in objective measurement and provides an international
forum on both the latest research in using Rasch measurement and
non-Rasch practice.

This book is concerned with the fault estimation problem for
network systems. Firstly, to improve the existing adaptive fault
estimation observer, a novel so-called intermediate estimator is
proposed to identify the actuator or sensor faults in dynamic
control systems with high accuracy and convergence speed. On this
basis, by exploiting the properties of network systems such as
multi-agent systems and large-scale interconnected systems, this
book introduces the concept of distributed intermediate estimator;
faults in different nodes can be estimated simultaneously;
meanwhile, satisfactory consensus performances can be obtained via
compensation based protocols. Finally, the characteristics of the
new fault estimation methodology are verified and discussed by a
series of experimental results on networked multi-axis motion
control systems. This book can be used as a reference book for
researcher and designer in the field of fault diagnosis and
fault-tolerant control and can also be used as a reference book for
senior undergraduate and graduate students in colleges and
universities.
The plant fossil record provides evidence that the genus
Metasequoia was widely distributed and experienced a wide range of
climatic and environmental conditions throughout the Northern
Hemisphere from the early Late Cretaceous to the Plio-Pleistocene.
Today the genus is limited to one species with approximately 5,000
mature individuals growing in the Xiahoe Valley in southeastern
China. This book is a distillation of the collective efforts and
results of the worlda (TM)s Metasequoia specialists and
enthusiasts. It is the most up-to-date and comprehensive reference
source for the genus and the authors have sought to incorporate
obscure, hard-to-get and non-English reference sources. The book
reviews what is known about the biology, ecology and physiology of
fossil and living Metasequoia, current research directions and
problems that remain unresolved.
This book presents a definitive overview of fossil and living
Metasequoia and was written by sixteen of the worlda (TM)s experts
on this important genus. Given the reality of increasing human
pressure and the inevitability of global change, efforts to
conserve this ancient genus are underway. This book will be of
interest to botanists, geologists, paleobotanists, biogeographers,
foresters, ecologists, paleoecologists, ecophysiologists,
geochemists, climate modelers, geneticists, naturalists, science
historians, and gardeners and will be useful as a supplemental text
for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses in
paleoecology.

de-multiplexing, channel estimation, power control, and performance
evaluation. The authors' unique capacity-bounding approach will
enable readers to carry out effective system performance analyses
and develop advanced Massive MIMO techniques and algorithms.
Numerous case studies, as well as problem sets and solutions
accompanying the book online, will help readers put knowledge into
practice and acquire the skill set needed to design and analyze
complex wireless communication systems. Whether you are a graduate
student, researcher, or industry professional working in the field
of wireless communications, this will be an indispensable guide for
years to come.
More and more, the advanced technological systems of today rely on
sophisticated control systems designed to assure greater levels of
safe operation while optimizing performance. Rather than assuming
always perfect conditions, these systems require adaptive
approaches capable of coping with inevitable system component
faults. Conventional feedback control designs do not offer that
capability and can result in unsatisfactory performance or even
instability, which is totally unacceptable in complex systems such
as aircraft, spacecraft, and nuclear power plants where safety is a
paramount concern. Reliable Control and Filtering of Linear Systems
with Adaptive Mechanisms presents recent research results that are
advancing the field. It shows how adaptive mechanisms can be
successfully introduced into the traditional reliable
control/filtering, so that, based on the online estimation of
eventual faults, the proposed adaptive reliable controller/filter
parameters are updated automatically to compensate for any fault
effects. Presenting a new method for fault-tolerant control (FTC)
in the context of existing research, this uniquely cohesive volume,
coauthored by two leading researchers - Focuses on the issues of
reliable control/filtering in the framework of indirect adaptive
method and LMI techniques Starts from the development and main
research methods in FTC to offer a systematic presentation of new
methods for adaptive reliable control/filtering of linear systems
Explains the principles behind adaptive designs for closed-loop
systems in normal operation as well as those that account for both
actuator and sensor failures Presents rigorous mathematical
analysis of control methods as well as easy-to-implement algorithms
Includes practical case studies derived from the aerospace industry
including simulation results for the F-16 The authors also extend
the design idea from linear systems to linear time-delay systems
via both memory and memory-less controllers. Moreover, some more
recent results for the corresponding adaptive reliable control
against actuator saturation are included. Ultimately, this
remarkably practical resource, offers design approaches and
guidelines that researchers can readily employ in the design of
advanced FTC techniques offering improved reliability,
maintainability, and survivability.
