Bridging theory and practice, this book contains over 200 practical
exercises and their solutions, to develop the problem-solving
abilities of process engineers. The problems were developed by the
author during his many years of teaching at university and are kept
brief, taken from the fields of instrumentation, modelling, plant
control, control strategy design and stability of control. The
algorithm flows and codes, which are mostly based on MATLAB(R), are
given in many cases and allow for easy translation into
applications. Since the text is structured according to "Applied
Process Control: Essential Methods", all of the necessary
background information on the underlying methods can be easily and
quickly found in this accompanying book.
The basic working knowledge for the practicing control engineer in
industry, offered here as a handy deluxe edition comprising two
volumes each devoted to methods and practical problems. Focusing on
the practical implementation, the methods volume provides readers
with rapid access to process modelling and control, while including
the theoretical background necessary. Throughout, the essential
knowledge is built up from chapter to chapter, starting with laying
the foundations in plant instrumentation and control. Modelling
abilities are then developed by starting from simple time-loop
algorithms and passing on to discrete methods, Laplace transforms,
automata and fuzzy logic. In the end, readers have the means to
design simple controllers on the basis of their own models, and to
use more detailed models to test them. With its clarity and
simplicity of presentation, and illustrated by more than 200
diagrams, the volume supports self-study and teaches readers how to
apply the appropriate method for the application required, and how
to handle problems in process control. Bridging theory and
practice, the second volume contains over 200 practical exercises
and their solutions to develop the problem-solving abilities of
process engineers. The problems were developed by the author during
his many years of teaching at university and are kept brief, taken
from the fields of instrumentation, modeling, plant control,
control strategy design and stability of control. The algorithm
flows and codes, which are mostly based on MATLAB(R), are given in
many cases and allow for easy translation into applications. With a
clarity and simplicity of presentation, the two volumes are
similarly structured for easy orientation.
Mulholland offers a scholarly, yet wholly accessible, critical
engagement with young people's negotiation with the pornification
of culture. This work foregrounds the affective dynamics in young
people's institutional and everyday sexual peer cultures.
What is "normal" sexuality for young people? How do they engage
with the pornography that saturates popular culture? Are the panics
that swirl around young people's access to pornified culture
justified? In Young People and Pornography, Mulholland explores
young people's own perspectives on the pornification of their
world. The book brings the overlooked voices of young people into
the debates over sexuality and the role of explicit sexual content
in their lives. In the process she concludes that the explicit now
occupies a position in public spaces in ways that construct a new
normal. However, countering the claims of panic-fuelled public
discourses worrying that "anything goes," she reveals how young
people use humor, parody, and the spectacular to negotiate
pornography in ways that maintain a distance. In addition,
Mulholland reveals how young people create meanings about pornified
culture remarkably consistent with historical norms of privacy,
respectability, and sexuality.
Centred on the dramatic premiership of Terence O'Neill, Northern
Ireland at the Crossroads examines the most hopeful decade for
Ulster Unionism this century. O'Neill's bold ambition to reach out
to catholics inspired optimism but also massive political
instability. Though concerned with the drama and personalities of
high politics, this book has much to say on popular attitudes in
one of the world's most politicised societies. New light is shed on
Paisleyism, discrimination and the civil rights movement.

Joel Mulholland recounts the heartening story of her very memorable
grandmother. Between the ages of twelve and thirteen her
grandmother received Christ as her Savior. He would serve as her
rock of strength for all her days. The death of someone close to
your heart leaves an overwhelming sense of void. Suddenly, a life
is taken, the body is lifeless, and the soul is gone. As a
Christian, there is the struggle between knowing that they are
truly at peace and the natural, human selfishness of wanting to
keep them close. But with the sting of each death, comes new growth
and maturity, the realization of how much their love was needed and
how much was shared with others. The author's grandma left many
treasures; years of letters, journal entries, endless personal
writings and remembered fellowship with family and friends will
give a complete understanding of her journey. Then, the tributes
from others and the impressions she left upon their own lives gives
proof to her aspirations. Through the tragic death of her father,
marriage to a young GI, raising five boys and two girls, and
college at eighty-two, as Grandmere put it: I am ready to see my
Jesus.
