Bridging the divide between robust control theory and its application, this volume focuses on robotic manipulators and illustrates the mathematical concepts through experimental results in reproducible detail, obtained with a two-manipulator system.

Synthesizing two key texts from Frederic Pham's groundbreaking research in algebraic geometry, this essential introduction to the singularities of integrals focuses on topological and geometrical aspects before moving on to explain the analytical approach.

Over the past few years the e-book has received much attention - the new generation of books can be downloaded from the Internet. This book shows readers how to design electronic books using the book metaphor.

This book covers the background theory of fluid power and indicates the range of concepts needed for a modern approach to condition monitoring and fault diagnosis. The theory is leavened by 15-years-worth of practical measurements by the author, working with major fluid power companies, and real industrial case studies.

This volume provides a concise reference to the state-of-the-art in software interoperability. Composed of over 90 papers, Enterprise Interoperability II ranges from academic research through case studies to industrial and administrative experience of interoperability.

More than a decade has passed since IBM's Deep Blue computer stunned the world by defeating world chess champion Garry Kasparov. This volume provides an updated story of the chess engine and its steady improvement.

This highly practical Guide to Geometric Algebra in Practice reviews algebraic techniques for geometrical problems in computer science and engineering, and the relationships between them. discusses the geometric algebra of lines, lower-dimensional algebras, and other alternatives to 5-dimensional CGA;

Presented in a clear, consistent, and deductive manner, this book offers a fresh perspective on statistical physics focused on theory, part of which is developed by the author himself, and goes on to provide numerous references to application-based texts.

This book describes the progress that has been made in the study of the process of ice rafting. It includes chapters on the concept of ice rafting and ice rafting and climate change.

This book covers broad water and environmental engineering aspects relevant for the drainage and treatment of storm water and wastewater. It provides a descriptive overview of complex 'black box' treatment systems and the general design issues involved.

This book provides an accessible guide to neuromusculardisorders using case scenarios from the world-renowned MRC Centre forNeuromuscular Diseases at the National Hospital, Queen Square, London, UK. Each case covers the history, examination andinvestigations, including neurophysiology, neuroradiology and neuropathology ifappropriate.
