A Four-Step Program to Eliminate Doubt and Achieve Lifelong Self-Esteem

Think Confident, Be Confident

In the usual process of control system design, the assumption is made that
the controller is implemented exactly. This assumption is usually reasonable,
since clearly, the plant uncertainty is the most significant source of
uncertainty in the control system, while controllers are implemented with
high-precision hardware. However, inevitably, there will be some amount
of uncertainty in the controller, a fact that is largely ignored in existing
modern advanced robust control techniques. If the controller is implemented
by analogue means, there are some tolerances in the analogue components.
More commonly, the controller will be implemented digitally, and consequently
there will be uncertainty involved with the quantization in the analogue-digital
conversion and rounding in the parameter representation and in the numerical
computations. A failure to account for these uncertainties in the controller
may result in a controller that is "fragile". A controller is fragile in
the sense that very small perturbations in the coefficients of the designed
controller destabilize the closed-loop control system.This book collects
a number of articles which consider the problems of finite-precision computing
in digital controllers and filters. Written by leading researchers, topics
that the book covers include:- analysis of fragility and finite-precision
effects;- design of optimal controller realizations;- design of non-fragile
robust controllers;- design of low-complexity digital controllers;- analysis
of quantization effects in fuzzy controllers.

From the reviews:“This book is a collection of 30 scientific papers organized in four parts. The topics that are reviewed in this book are mainly people and face detection, pose estimation, tracking and activity recognition. The book covers a broad domain making the book appealing to not only graduate students in the computer vision field, but also scholars and researchers.” (Norberto Goussies, IAPR Newsletter, Vol. 35 (3), July, 2013)

“Researchers and managers who are interested in applications of DEA would seem to be the primary beneficiaries of reading it; professors and instructors might select some themes from the book to complement their DEA courses for OR students. In addition, the theoretician of decision making might be interested in the further development of the nonconvex approach in value efficiency analysis initiated in the book.” (Antanas Zilinskas, Interfaces, Vol. 46 (1), 2015)

From the reviews:“This monograph is an attempt to formalize abductive reasoning based on geospatial information. It includes conceptual definitions, algorithms for exact and approximate solutions, descriptions of heuristics, and examples of applying geospatial abduction to real-world problems. … The exposition is comparable to senior undergraduate or graduate-level texts in algorithms and computability theory. … This monograph will be a useful addition to the shelves of academics, students, and developers working with geospatial knowledge in a variety of domains.” (R. M. Malyankar, ACM Computing Reviews, June, 2012)

Die moderne Schmerzforschung, -diagnostik und Differentialtherapie ist
noch weit davon entfernt, endg&uuml;ltige L&ouml;sungen f&uuml;r die Betroffenen zu liefern.
Die Beitr&auml;ge in diesem Buch referieren aktuelle Erkenntnisse zur Schmerzentstehung,
-aufrechterhaltung und Chronifizierung sowie zu unterschiedlichen therapeutischen
und pr&auml;ventiven Ans&auml;tzen. Sie machen aber auch deutlich, dass sowohl die
Grundlagenforschung auf der Suche nach innovativen Targets, als auch die
klinische Entwicklung wirksamer Alternativen auf dem Gebiet der Schmerztherapie
verst&auml;rkt Aufmerksamkeit erfordern.

From the reviews:"The objective is to introduce aquatic scientists and managers of coastal aquatic ecosystems to the possibilities of remote sensing techniques. … The book is one of the rare collective works, in which the subject matter is so well integrated and presented by the editors. When this reviewer read in the introduction that the editors suggest the book can be used as a resource manual, he did not believe the assumption at first. However, he now believes this to be quiet true." (Geomatica, Vol. 61 (3), 2007)

Die sogenannte &Auml;ltere Edda ist eine (kurz nach der Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts
niedergeschriebene) Sammlung von altnordischen Spr&uuml;chen, G&ouml;tterliedern
und Heldenliedern, deren &Uuml;berlieferung bis ins 4. Jahrhundert zur&uuml;ckreicht.
Von ihnen sind die hier vorgelegten Heldenlieder besonders interessant,
weil sie nicht nur die in Skandinavien beheimateten Stoffe enthalten, sondern
- in parallelen Versionen - auch die Taten von Sigurd (= Siegfried), Gudrun
(= Kriemhild), Br&uuml;nnhild und Atli (= Etzel), von Dietrich von Bern, Hildebrand
und von Wieland dem Schmied. Die Ausgabe enth&auml;lt insgesamt 23 Lieder -
in einer pr&auml;zisen deutschen &Uuml;bersetzung und jeweils mit Einleitung und
Stellenkommentar versehen.

"This is an impressive achievement and essential reading for anyone interested in today's France, its relations with the European Community and its economic challenges."
- John Munholland, University of Minnesota, USA

"By placing the politicians, parties, and policy dilemmas of the 2012 French elections in a deeper history of the European Union and the Fifth French Republic, Irwin Wall has produced a major new contemporary history of France."
- Herrick Chapman, New York University, USA

"Irwin Wall has given us another wonderful book, grounded in meticulous research. France Votes will appeal not only to Francophiles, but to scholars of contemporary France, and to specialists interested in how the electoral process functions in a twenty-first century democracy."
- David L. Schalk, Vassar College, USA

"Irwin Wall's knowledge of the contemporary French political and economic landscape allows him to use the pivotal elections of 2012 as a focal point for his remarkable survey. While the complexity and significance of the elections are made clear, the book places events in a larger European and global context."
- Leslie Derfler, Florida Atlantic University, USA

Traits of Nature, Volume 2

The book provides an easily accessible computationally oriented introduction
into the numerical solution of stochastic differential equations using
computer experiments. It develops in the reader an ability to apply numerical
methods solving stochastic differential equations in their own fields.
Furthermore, it creates an intuitive understanding of the necessary theoretical
background from stochastic and numeric analysis. The book is related to
the more theoretical monograph P.E. Kloeden and E. Platen, Numerical Solution
of Stochastic Differential Equations, 1992, but can be independently used.
It provides solutions to over 100 exercises used in this monograph to illustrate
the theory. Corresponding Turbo Pascal programs are given on a floppy disk;
furthermore commentaries on the programs and their use are carefully worked
out in the book.
