Cooperative Control of Multi-Agent Systems extends optimal control
and adaptive control design methods to multi-agent systems on
communication graphs. It develops Riccati design techniques for
general linear dynamics for cooperative state feedback design,
cooperative observer design, and cooperative dynamic output
feedback design. Both continuous-time and discrete-time dynamical
multi-agent systems are treated. Optimal cooperative control is
introduced and neural adaptive design techniques for multi-agent
nonlinear systems with unknown dynamics, which are rarely treated
in literature are developed. Results spanning systems with first-,
second- and on up to general high-order nonlinear dynamics are
presented. Each control methodology proposed is developed by
rigorous proofs. All algorithms are justified by simulation
examples. The text is self-contained and will serve as an excellent
comprehensive source of information for researchers and graduate
students working with multi-agent systems.

This third edition provides new and updated chapters detailing
preparation of liposomes, physicochemical characterization of
liposomes, lipid analysis, drug encapsulation, surface
modification, stimuli response as well as cellular interaction, and
biodistribution. Also included is an updated chapter on the history
and evolution of the field of liposomology. Written in the format
of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each
chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary
materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known
pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Liposomes: Methods and Protocols,
Third Edition aims to serve as a reference for graduate students,
post-doctoral researchers as well as established investigators
utilizing lipid-based systems.
Messaging is a basic service in sensor networks (a.k.a,
sensornets). Yet the unique system and application properties of
sensornets pose substantial challenges for the messaging design: 1)
dynamic wireless links, constrained resources, and application
diversity challenge the architecture and protocol design of
sensornet messaging; and 2) complex faults and large system scale
introduce new challenges to the design of fault-tolerant protocols.
To address the aforementioned challenges, this book examines the
architecture of sensornet messaging, identifies the design
principles of dependable sensornet messaging, and presents
techniques of designing fault-tolerant protocols in the presence of
complex faults and large system scale. Taking a holistic approach
to addressing the challenges of dependable sensornet messaging,
this book can help readers appreciate the basic principles and
techniques of sensornet messaging, and it can serve as a useful
reference for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in
wireless sensor networks.
