Spacecraft Attitude Control: A Linear Matrix Inequality Approach solves problemsfor spacecraft attitude control systems using convex optimization and, specifi cally,through a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. High-precision pointing and improvedrobustness in the face of external disturbances and other uncertainties are requirementsfor the current generation of spacecraft. This book presents an LMI approach to spacecraftattitude control and shows that all uncertainties in the maneuve...

Mit der Reihe Chinesische Perspektiven sollen grundlegende Werke chinesischen Denkens einem größeren deutschen Publikum zugänglich gemacht werden. Mit dem vorliegenden Band, der anlässlich des 40. Jahrestages der Aufnahme der diplomatischen Beziehungen zwischen China und Deutschland verfasst wurde, halten uns die Herausgeber einen faszinierenden Spiegel vor. Der chinesische, auf jeden Fall gut gemeinte Blick auf Deutschland ist auch und gerade für uns reich an Informationen und gibt Anlass...

Drylands, a home for nearly 2.5 billion people, are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change, and dryland area may expand to 50% of the Earth's surface by 2100. Climate change may aggravate the prevalence of undernutrition and malnutrition because of adverse effects on quantity and quality of food production in these regions. This book takes a holistic approach to sustainable management of drylands to make agriculture drought-resilient. Eminent scientists from around the world sha...

This book highlights principles and applications of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). After introducing the basic concepts, research progress, standardizations and limitations of EMC, the book puts emphasis on presenting the generation mechanisms and suppression principles of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise, radiated EMI noise, and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) problems such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electric fast transient (EFT) and surge. By showing E...
