This book presents up-to-date research developments and novel methodologies to solve various stability and control problems of dynamic systems with time delays. First, it provides the new introduction of integral and summation inequalities for stability analysis of nominal time-delay systems in continuous and discrete time domain, and presents corresponding stability conditions for the nominal system and an applicable nonlinear system. Next, it investigates several control problems for dyn...

This book is mainly focused on the global impulsive synchronization of complex dynamical networks with different types of couplings, such as general state coupling, nonlinear state coupling, time-varying delay coupling, derivative state coupling, proportional delay coupling and distributed delay coupling. Studies on impulsive synchronization of complex dynamical networks have attracted engineers and scientists from various disciplines, such as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering...

In this book, various singularly perturbed jump system models in continuous-time or discrete-time domain, such as Markov jump singularly perturbed systems, semi-Markov jump singularly perturbed systems, hidden Markov jump singularly perturbed systems, and singularly perturbed jump complex network model, have been considered for some control synthesis problems. Also, some partial probability information cases are taken into account when addressing those control synthesis problems. To show t...

This book introduces the principle theories and applications of control and filtering problems to address emerging hot topics in feedback systems. With the development of IT technology at the core of the 4th industrial revolution, dynamic systems are becoming more sophisticated, networked, and advanced to achieve even better performance. However, this evolutionary advance in dynamic systems also leads to unavoidable constraints. In particular, such elements in control systems involve uncer...

Madeleines originated in France more than 200 years ago, but today are loved the world over; easy to bake, infinitely customisable and highly snackable, these tiny, shell-shaped cakes are having a moment, lining the shelves in supermarkets and even having entire bakeries dedicated to them.One such bakery is the incredible Madeleine de Proust, whose highly flavourful and visually stunning creations celebrate the beauty of this bite-sized treat. With 30 enticing recipes, from classic...

Good public policy in a democracy relies on efficient and accurate information flows between individuals with firsthand, substantive expertise and elected legislators. While legislators are tasked with the job of making and passing policy, they are politicians and not substantive experts. To make well-informed policy, they must rely on the expertise of others. Hearings on the Hill argues that partisanship and close competition for control of government shape the information that legislator...

“가장 현명한 것은언제나 동화가 가르쳤다!”《빨간 머리 앤》부터 《내 이름은 삐삐 롱스타킹》까지청춘에 다시 읽는 동화 21편의 기적우리 모두가 그랬듯이, 저자도 글을 읽기 전부터 동화책을 사랑한 소녀였다. 매일같이 피터 팬과 빨간 머리 앤과 주근깨 소녀 삐삐, 성냥개비 소녀, 인어 공주를 만나 웃고 울었다. 그러나 ‘문학소녀’였던 저자는, 역시 우리 모두가 그랬듯이, 나이가 들어가면서 어느새 먹고사는 일에 몰두하느라 동화 속 친구들과 멀어졌다.생존 투쟁은 인생에서 의미를 찾는 것을 사치로 만든다. 항상 불안이 따라붙는다. 그리고 어느 순간, 아이러니하게도 꿈을 찾고 이루기 위해 길을 가는 것이 아니라 생존만을 위한 전선에서 탈선하는 것이 꿈이 되어 버린다. 그렇게 성냥개비 소녀의 마지막 남은 성냥개비에서 여린 불빛이 사그라지려 할 때, 저자는...

Since the Korean Wave phenomenon started in 1997, Hallyu has undergone many changes. Geographically, while Asia has been the largest cultural market for the Korean cultural industries, other parts of society, including North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America have gradually admitted Korean popular culture. The components of the Korean Wave have also greatly expanded. Hallyu originally implied the exports of a few cultural products, such as television dramas, popular music,...

The industrialisation and modernisation in South Korea that followed the Second World War resulted in rapid progress in economic development, public administration, social service provision and the establishment of modern public policy.Bringing together outstanding researchers, this book is the first to examine the theory and practice of policy analysis in South Korea. The volume explores the historical development of policy analysis, and procedures for decision making at different...
