This monograph is framed within the context of off-road mobile robotics. In particular, it discusses issues related to modelling, localization, and motion control of tracked mobile robots working in planar slippery conditions. Tracked locomotion constitutes a well-known solution for mobile platforms operating over diverse challenging terrains, for that reason, tracked robotics constitutes an important research field with many applications (e.g. agriculture, mining, search and rescue operations, military activities). The specific topics of this monograph are: historical perspective of tracked vehicles and tracked robots; trajectory-tracking model taking into account slip effect; visual-odometry-based localization strategies; and advanced slip-compensation motion controllers ensuring efficient real-time execution. Physical experiments with a real tracked robot are presented showing the better performance of the suggested novel approaches to known techniques.

Keywords: longitudinal slip, visual odometry, slip-compensation control, robust predictive control, trajectory tracking.

Molecular Wine Microbiology features rigorous scientific content written at a level comprehensible for wine professionals as well as advanced students. It includes information on production and spoilage issues, the microbial groups relevant for wine production and microbial wine safety.

Microbiology has long been recognized as a key tool in studying wine production, however only recently have wine microbiology studies been addressed at a molecular level, increasing theunderstanding of how microbiology impacts not only the flavor quality of the wine, but alsoits safety. Understanding, at a molecular level, how a starter culture can impact ethanol, glycerol, volatile phenols, mannoproteins, biogenic aminesor ochratoxin A of a wine are just some of the core points that must be considered in order to achieve maximium consumer acceptability while addressing safety concerns during processing and storage. While other books offer insights into thetechnological aspects of enology, this book is written by expert microbiologists, who explore the positive and negative impacts of gene function in theproduction of wine, from a microbiological point of view.
Winner of the 2012 Jury Award in Enology from the International Organisation of Vine and WinePresents the most current methods of studying the microbiology of wineIncludes latest identification and typing methods, reducing identification time from days and weeks to minutes and hoursProvides important knowledge about the impact of microbiological factors at the molecular level for reduction of wine spoilage and increased wine quality and safety"

Que misterio encierra la daga? Un campesino encuentra una daga en una cueva junto a un fabuloso tesoro del siglo XVI y descubre que es imposible herir a nadie con ella porque corta y atraviesa facilmente cualquier cosa sea esta piel, huesos, cuero, madera, piedra o metal por duro que sea, pero no deja el menor rastro de su paso ni produce dano alguno. Esta novela presenta una trepidante historia retrospectiva en la que oficiales del Pentagono y la CIA se rinden ante este antiguo misterio. Ya en el siglo XVII, monjes e inquisidores trataron de destruirla y no lo consiguieron, feroces piratas lucharon por poseerla y no lo lograron. Conquistadores espanoles en el siglo XVI se asombraron de su poder e intentaron aprovecharlo. Siguiendo su rastro a traves de la historia, el lector llegara al siglo X para descubrir, junto con el secreto de Quetzalcoatl, el misterio que encierra la daga.
