Radial Basis Function (RBF) Neural Network Control for Mechanical Systems Design, Analysis and Matlab Simulation


Free Download Radial Basis Function (RBF) Neural Network Control for Mechanical Systems: Design, Analysis and Matlab Simulation By Jinkun Liu (auth.)
2013 | 365 Pages | ISBN: 3642348157 | PDF | 5 MB
Radial Basis Function (RBF) Neural Network Controlfor Mechanical Systems is motivated by the need for systematic design approaches to stable adaptive control system design using neural network approximation-based techniques. The main objectives of the book are to introduce the concrete design methods and MATLAB simulation of stable adaptive RBF neural control strategies. In this book, a broad range of implementable neural network control design methods for mechanical systems are presented, such as robot manipulators, inverted pendulums, single link flexible joint robots, motors, etc. Advanced neural network controller design methods and their stability analysis are explored. The book provides readers with the fundamentals of neural network control system design. This book is intended for the researchers in the fields of neural adaptive control, mechanical systems, Matlab simulation, engineering design, robotics and automation. Jinkun Liu is a professor at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

The Art Of Dramatic Writing Its Basis in the Creative Interpretation of Human Motives


Free Download The Art Of Dramatic Writing: Its Basis in the Creative Interpretation of Human Motives by Lajos Egri
English | February 15, 1972 | ISBN: 0671213326 | True EPUB | 320 pages | 0.8 MB
Learn the basic techniques every successful playwright knows! Amid the hundreds of "how-to" books out there, there have been very few which attempted to analyze the mysteries of play construction. Lajos Egri’s classic, The Art of Dramatic Writing, does just that, with instruction that can be applied equally well to a short story, novel, or screenplay.

Science and the Garden The Scientific Basis of Horticultural Practice


Free Download Science and the Garden: The Scientific Basis of Horticultural Practice By
2002 | 293 Pages | ISBN: 0632053089 | PDF | 20 MB
Most conventional gardening books concentrate on how and when to carry out horticultural tasks such as pruning, seed sowing and taking cuttings. This book is unique in explaining in straightforward terms some of the science that underlies these practices. It is principally a book of ‘Why’ – Why are plants green? Why should one cut beneath a leaf node when taking cuttings? Why do plants need so much water? But it also goes on to deal with the ‘How’, providing rationale behind the practical advice. The coverage is wide-ranging and comprehensive and includes the basic structure and functioning of garden plants, nomenclature, genetics and plant breeding, environmental factors affecting growth, methods of propagation and production, pest and disease control, and post harvest management and storage. Published on behalf of the Royal Horticultural Society, this book will be a most valuable text for those sitting the RHS general examination, and horticultural students at certificate and diploma levels; it will also appeal to gardeners, growers and scientists. Content: Chapter 1 Know Your Plant (pages 1-45): David S. IngramChapter 2 Naming Your Plant (pages 47-57): Simon Thornton?Wood and Stephen L. JuryChapter 3 Designing Plants (pages 59-82): Anna Dourado, Daphne Vince?Prue and Ray MathiasChapter 4 Soils and Soil Fertility (pages 83-111): Peter J. Gregory and Jon PickeringChapter 5 Choosing a Site (pages 113-126): Daphne Vince?PrueChapter 6 Raising Plants from Seed (pages 127-142): Anna Dourado and Daphne Vince?PrueChapter 7 Vegetative Propagation (pages 143-163): Daphne Vince?Prue and Anna DouradoChapter 8 Shape and Colour (pages 165-179): Daphne Vince?Prue and Timothy WalkerChapter 9 Seasons and Weather (pages 181-201): Daphne Vince?PrueChapter 10 Gardening in the Greenhouse (pages 203-219): Daphne Vince?Prue and Peter J. GregoryChapter 11 Controlling the Undesirables (pages 221-245): Chris Prior, Andrew Halstead, Guy Barter and Michael SaynorChapter 12 Storage and Post?Harvest (pages 247-262): David S. Johnson

Translational Cardiology Molecular Basis of Cardiac Metabolism, Cardiac Remodeling, Translational Therapies and Imaging Techni


Free Download Translational Cardiology: Molecular Basis of Cardiac Metabolism, Cardiac Remodeling, Translational Therapies and Imaging Techniques By David J. Durgan, Martin E. Young (auth.), Cam Patterson, Monte S. Willis (eds.)
2012 | 544 Pages | ISBN: 1617798908 | PDF | 8 MB
Translational Cardiology: Molecular Basis of Cardiac Metabolism, Cardiac Remodeling, Translational Therapies and Imaging Techniques provides an up-to-date introduction to the role circadian rhythms, cardiac plasticity, and mechanotransduction play in the heart, while at the same time introducing new developments in cellular, viral, and non-biologic therapies that are in the process of being developed. Importantly, the focus of this book is on topics that, due to their novelty, are largely not covered in the other major textbooks. A special emphasis is placed on the molecular basis of cardiac metabolism, new concepts in cardiac remodeling, and translational therapies and imaging techniques currently under development for clinical use. The chapters are written by experts from diverse clinical and biomedical research backgrounds. Translational Cardiology: Molecular Basis of Cardiac Metabolism, Cardiac Remodeling, Translational Therapies and Imaging Techniques simplifies the complexity of the molecular basis of disease by focusing on patient-oriented disease mechanisms and therapies and is of great value to a broad audience including physicians (e.g. cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, pathologists) as well as translational biomedical researchers in a wide range of disciplines.
