This book covers the MATLAB syntax and the environment suitable for
someone with no programming background. The first four chapters
present information on basic MATLAB programming including computing
terminology, MATLAB specific syntax and control structures,
operators, arrays and matrices. The next cluster covers grouping
data, working with files, making images, creating graphical user
interfaces, experimenting with sound, and the debugging
environment. The final three chapters contain case studies on using
MATLAB and other tools and devices (e.g., Arduino, Linux, Git, Mex,
etc.) important for basic programming knowledge. Companion files
with code and 4 color figures are on the disc or available from the
publisher. Features: Covers the MATLAB syntax and the environment,
suitable for someone with no programming background Numerous
examples, projects, and practical applications enhance
understanding of subjects under discussion with over 100 MATLAB
scripts and functions Includes companion files with code and 4
color figures from the text (on the disc or available from the
publisher)
In 1870 several hundred settlers arrived at a patch of land at the
confluence of the South Platte and Cache la Poudre Rivers in
Colorado Territory. Their planned agricultural community, which
they named Greeley, was centered around small landholdings, shared
irrigation, and a variety of market crops. One hundred years later,
Greeley was the home of the world's largest concentrated
cattle-feeding operation, with the resources of an entire region
directed toward manufacturing beef. How did that transformation
happen? Cattle Beet Capital is animated by that question. Expanding
outward from Greeley to all of northern Colorado, Cattle Beet
Capital shows how the beet sugar industry came to dominate the
region in the early twentieth century through a reciprocal
relationship with its growers that supported a healthy and
sustainable agriculture while simultaneously exploiting tens of
thousands of migrant laborers. Michael Weeks shows how the state
provided much of the scaffolding for the industry in the form of
tariffs and research that synchronized with the agendas of industry
and large farmers. The transformations that led to commercial
feedlots began during the 1930s as farmers replaced crop rotations
and seasonal livestock operations with densely packed cattle pens,
mono-cropped corn, and the products pouring out of agro-industrial
labs and factories. Using the lens of the northern Colorado region,
Cattle Beet Capital illuminates the historical processes that made
our modern food systems.
Although the Civil War was fought across America, the most
captivating events for history buff s seem to be those that
occurred in the relatively small region surrounding the two wartime
capitals, Washington, DC, and Richmond, Virginia. In The Civil War
Road Trip: A Guide to Northern Virginia, Maryland, and
Pennsylvania, author Michael Weeks takes you on complete tours of
every major military campaign in the region during the first two
years of the war, from First Manassas in 1861 to Gettysburg in
1863. Weeks has visited every site included here, learning their
vibrant stories and driving thousands of miles to bring readers the
most accurate information. Detailed directions and maps for your
own road trip, along with a blow-by-blow history of each campaign,
will guide you to and through some of the war s most critical
battlegrounds, including Fredericksburg, Antietam, and the
Shenandoah Valley. Travel tips, historic lodging places, and
further sources of information are also included. Fully up to date
and thoroughly researched, this guidebook is indispensable for
travelers interested in America s history.
This book provides the optimal introduction to MATLAB and Simulink,
the primary tools in engineering, science, and industry for
simulating dynamic systems. Using the latest versions of the
software, the book also has 20 hands-on projects that provide a
practical mastery of the subject areas including the code and
executable files. Apart from a basic knowledge of mathematics and
physics, no further specialist knowledge is necessary. There are
also over 80, in-text, exercises where readers themselves can check
their mastery of the material. A CD-ROM with source code
accompanies the book.
In this second volume of Michael Weeks' thoroughly researched guide
to the battlefields of the Civil War, you will find complete tours
of every major military campaign in the region from 1863 to 1865,
from the battles immediately following the great clash at
Gettysburg to the fall of Richmond and the Appomattox campaign.
Detailed directions and maps, along with a detailed history of each
campaign, will guide you to and through some of the war's most
critical battlegrounds, including The Wilderness, Spotsylvania,
Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Lynchburg and the battle for Richmond. A
section devoted to commands and commanders tells the life stories
of the famous and the little-known; an explanation of military
structure, orders of battle, and the various military units helps
you keep track of the course of events and the key players. Travel
tips and further sources of information are also included to help
your explorations run smoothly.
