This book provides a comprehensive overview of active anti-roll bar systems on heavy vehicles as one of the most effective solutions for improving the roll stability of these vehicles. Due to the characteristics of these vehicles with heavy loads and high center of gravity, the possibility of roll instability occurs frequently and causes serious consequences for human life, vehicles, and traffic infrastructure. The book gives readers an in-depth survey of the roll instability characteristi...

This book focuses on the design of a multi-criteria automated vehicle longitudinal control system as an enhancement of the adaptive cruise control system. It analyses the effects of various parameters on the average traffic speed and the traction force of the vehicles in mixed traffic from a macroscopic point of view, and also demonstrates why research and development in speed control and predictive cruise control is important. The book also summarises the main steps of the system’s robust...

This book provides a thorough and fresh treatment of the control of innovative variable-geometry vehicle suspension systems. A deep survey on the topic, which covers the varying types of existing variable-geometry suspension solutions, introduces the study. The book discusses three important aspects of the subject:• robust control design;• nonlinear system analysis; and• integration of learning and control methods.The importance of variable-geometry suspensi...

This monograph focuses on control methods that influence vehicle dynamics to assist the driver in enhancing passenger comfort, road holding, efficiency and safety of transport, etc., while maintaining the driver’s ability to override that assistance. On individual-vehicle-component level the control problem is formulated and solved by a unified modelling and design method provided by the linear parameter varying (LPV) framework. The global behaviour desired is achieved by a judicious inter...

This book is a broad-based introduction to an increasingly important topic. The overview is easy because each chapter is structured uniformly: theory, methods, realization alternatives, methodical and practical advantages and disadvantages, and examples from industrial technology and medicine as well as research and development practice.Compared to the first edition “Biosignal Processing”, the content of this book has been expanded by a sensor chapter (galvanic and capacitive senso...

Este trabajo explora la evolución de este medio en España durante este periodo, y su impacto en la literatura y las artes plásticas. A través del análisis de ediciones ilustradas del Quijote y la novela realista española, la autora examina las dinámicas editoriales y artísticas que marcaron su periodo de esplendor.Con un enfoque interdisciplinario que integra teorías cognitivas, multimodales ...

Dans cet ouvrage, Jihen Souki nous livre la substance de ses recherches sur Lorand Gaspar après des années consacrées à l’étude de son oeuvre, mais aussi à sa traduction. Disparu en 2019, l’auteur de Sol absolu laisse une oeuvre brillante, habitée par une soif d’absolu restée vive jusqu’au bout. C’est la poétique de cet écrivain hors-pair, poète-médecin voyageur et l’un des derniers humanistes de notre époque que cet essai explore, en une investigation stylistique qui entend resti...

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the dynamics and challenges of teaching Portuguese in China, particularly in Macao and Mainland China. This insightful study delves into the historical, socio-economic, and educational contexts that shape the learning experiences of native Chinese speakers.The book is structured in four chapters: the contextualization of the study, Chinese learner’ profiles, Portuguese proficiency, and the dynamics of student mobility in the twenty-fi...

En esta obra se expone un programa básico sobre la observación, la enseñanza y la representación del conocimiento geográfico. Un curso de Geografía promovido por Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, principal representante de la Ilustración española, para quien la Geografía era una ciencia útil (para la economía y la política) y una ciencia necesaria (para la vida).

Welches Potenzial bergen psychotherapeutische Ansätze für die Begleitung Sterbender? Ausgewiesene Expertinnen und Experten mit unterschiedlichsten psychotherapeutischen Wurzeln stellen erstmals in komprimierter und gleichermaßen umfassender Darstellung ihre jeweiligen Ansätze und Erfahrungen zu diesem Thema vor. Das Resultat ist ein Kaleidoskop bereits etablierter Erkenntnisse und denkbarer, doch längst nicht ausgeschöpfter Möglichkeiten. Dabei beziehen die Beiträge nicht nur Position zur ...

Este libro explora la aportación crítica y metodológica interdisciplinar a varios dominios humanísticos como la historia, el derecho, la política, la lingüística, la educación, la literatura y, en general, la sociedad del ilustrado español Gaspar de Jovellanos dentro del siglo de la Razón. Lo novedoso de este estudio es que parte de un enfoque hermenéutico como base para una crítica textual que aplicará a la historia y al derecho. Si la filología seguía considerada entonces como instrument...
