This book discusses the economic, political, and environmental issues surrounding the international exploration and exploitation of conventional and unconventional natural gas. Shale gas development in recent years has changed the energy discussion in the US as existing reserves of natural gas coupled with horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing make exploitation of these reserves economic…
This monograph is an up-to-date presentation of the analysis and design of singular Markovian jump systems (SMJSs) in which the transition rate matrix of the underlying systems is generally uncertain, partially unknown and designed. The problems addressed include stability, stabilization, H∞ control and filtering, observer design, and adaptive control. applications of Markov process are inves…
This book presents the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Integrated Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences 2014 (ICIPEG2014). Topics covered on the petroleum engineering side include reservoir modeling and simulation, enhanced oil recovery, unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, production and operation. Similarly geoscience presentations cover diverse areas in geology, geophysi…
Teori stabilitas pertama kali didirikan oleh Aleksandr Lyapunov pada tahun 1892 (lihat [70]). Karena penerapan teori stabilitas yang luas, banyak ahli matematika mengabdikan diri pada bidang ini. Untuk sistem diferensial yang tidak stabil, cara menstabilkannya, dengan bantuan kontrol umpan balik, menjadi subjek penting dalam teori kontrol persamaan diferensial. Ini disebut stabilisasi umpan bal…
This book presents the research and development results on power systems oscillations in three categories of analytical methods. First is damping torque analysis which was proposed in 1960’s, further developed between 1980-1990, and widely used in industry. Second is modal analysis which developed between the 1980’s and 1990’s as the most powerful method. Finally the linearized equal-a…
Di masa lalu, mayoritas pasien yang terlihat di Amerika Serikat dan Eropa adalah individu berkulit putih; hingga tahun 1970-an dan awal 1980-an, sebagian besar penelitian yang dipublikasikan di bidang dermatologi dilakukan pada populasi ini. Dengan globalisasi ekonomi dan kemajuan perjalanan internasional yang nyaman, proporsi orang kulit berwarna (POC) di Amerika Utara dan Eropa meningkat pesa…
Overview: This collection is intended to provide instructors with a wide variety of nonfiction examples of good writing that they can use to teach composition.
Cementitious materials are being widely used as solidification/stabilisation and barrier materials for a variety of chemical and radioactive wastes, primarily due to their favourable retention properties for metals, radionuclides and other contaminants. The retention properties result from various mineral phases in hydrated cement that possess a high density and diversity of reactive sites for …
Based on the authors’ research, this book introduces the main processing techniques in hyperspectral imaging. In this context, SVM-based classification, distance comparison-based endmember extraction, SVM-based spectral unmixing, spatial attraction model-based sub-pixel mapping and MAP/POCS-based super-resolution reconstruction are discussed in depth. Readers will gain a comprehensive underst…
This brief provides a detailed introduction, discussion and bibliographic review of the nature1-inspired optimization algorithm called Harmony Search. It uses a large number of simulation results to demonstrate the advantages of Harmony Search and its variants and also their drawbacks. The authors show how weaknesses can be amended by hybridization with other optimization methods. The Harmony S…
