Adaptive Control of Flexible Structures deals with vibration control for large-scale flexible structures which are, or may be, subject to a broadband primary vibration field. The authors present a complete rationale for solving problems of vibration, from experimental structural characterization to controller implementation. In reaching this objective they address the following steps:

- experimental identification of the dynamic model of the structure;

- optimal placement of sensors and actuators;

- formulation of control constraints in terms of controller...

»Es gibt kein richtiges Leben im falschen«: Das berühmte Adorno-Diktum bringt die eigene Verstrickung in das Böse und Schlechte zum Ausdruck. Das Subjekt fühlt sich schuldig, weil es weiß, was es anders und besser machen könnte. Aber zu welchem Preis? Ist dieser Preis moralisch akzeptabel? Lässt sich das falsche Leben nicht vielleicht rechtfertigen? Dies sind die Fragen, die dieses Buch auf Grundlage der Lektüre Adornos aufwirft. Da sie keine eindeutige Antwort zulassen, stellt sich bald eine weitere: Wie geht das Subjekt mit dieser moralischen Unsicherheit um? Gianluca Cavallo...

Manuscripts from the Byzantine era hand down lists of outstanding Greek authors or canons in the various literary and scientific-philosophical genres, but there has been a lack of research into their nature, chronology, origin, formation and use. The volume Παραδείγματα, the term used in rhetorical texts to designate the canons, provides a new critical edition of these lists as a basis for the topics discussed.

One of the lists, hitherto thought to be unitary, turns out to be composed of two originally independent and diachronic lists, later joined into one: an older...

At the age of twenty-eight years old with a promising career in real estate development, Matt Cavallo got out of bed on May 18th, 2005 and stumbled. Overnight, he went from a fully-functioning, healthy man to someone who was numb from the waist down and unable to walk. After consulting his doctor, he was sent to a neurologist who immediately admitted him to the hospital. What would happen to Matt over the next four weeks would redefine all that was important in life. At the end of this four week period, he would learn that he has the chronic neurodegenerative condition - Multiple Sclerosis....

La storia vera di un uomo che sin da adolescente entra in contatto col mondo dell'alcol e delle droghe. Il suo lungo calvario, i tentativi inutili di farla finita prima con quel tipo di vita poi, con la vita stessa. I ricoveri, le delusioni, le fragorose ricadute. Il suo vivere senza vita, il suo morire senza morte. Forse alla fine uno spiraglio di luce lo portera... Leggetelo "

I started in fine dining the summer of '79. At the time Perrier was the rage. The in thing was to order, and be heard ordering, Perrier. This bottle sat on everyone's table - an excellent drink with dinner and wine.

My book is a collection of memories that I recall all too often - thoughts of events that occurred over twenty-five years that are too interesting not to be told. The best I can do is let you read about them. I wish I could tell you....I wish you were there.

Being a waiter, and especially a maitre d', was fun not knowing what unique experience would occur today, and involve...

From the beginning, the systems research movement has shown a high potential for offering a conceptual framework for the understanding of social systems. Much of this potential has been realized, but a major gap remains with regard to operational investigative aids. Developments of the last ten years with a method ological orientation and emphasis seem finally to be filling this gap. The purpose of this book is to describe the most advanced of these developments and to make them available to a wider audience. The emphasis is on developments that are primarily oriented toward interaction with...

This is the first thorough study of charity and of medical and poor relief in post-Renaissance Italy. It departs from current interpretations by putting much greater emphasis on the various circumstances that motivated individual men and women to become involved in charity, and argues that conflicts and tensions in their social and political surroundings were crucial in prompting their charitable activity and defining perceptions of the needy.
