This book deals with system identification, controller design and analysis of the designed closed loop systems for one and two links planar manipulators. As typical manipulators, single stage and dual stage actuators of data storage systems are considered. Goals of the control are to obtain satisfactory time and frequency responses in the presence of plant uncertainties. In case of one link planer manipulator, a state-space disturbance observer for frequency response improvement and gain/phase stabilization methods for reducing flexible mode of the plant are developed. In case of a two links...

Despite public support for the death penalty, a remarkable number of countries in different parts of the world have banned capital punishment in all its forms, regardless of the nature of the crime or the criminal. Arguing that international norms are often a critical source of ideas for change in state policy, but that impact varies greatly, Sangmin Bae offers a systemic explanation of how, when, and under what conditions a country complies with international norms.

However, while various issues and cases of human security have...
