Modeling and Control of Greenhouse Crop Growth
A discussion of challenges related to the modeling and control of greenhouse crop growth, this book presents state-of-the-art answers to those challenges. The authors model the subsystems involved in successful greenhouse control using different techniques and show how the models obtained can be exploited for simulation or control design; they suggest ideas for the development of physical and/o…

Media Literacy Education in China
The Chinese government has long kept tight control on both traditional and new media to prevent potential challenges to its authority. But, for better or worse, China has now reached a stage where it is difficult to exercise political hegemony through laws and regulations and the control of the mass media. China has become a global superpower and in 2011 surpassed Japan as the world’s second …

Modeling and Evaluating Denial of Service Attacks for Wireless and Mobile App…
This SpringerBrief covers modeling and analysis of Denial-of-Service attacks in emerging wireless and mobile applications. It uses an application-specific methodology to model and evaluate denial-of-service attacks. Three emerging applications are explored: multi-modal CSMA/CA networks, time-critical networks for the smart grid, and smart phone applications. The authors define a new performance…

Electric Vehicle Batteries: Moving from Research towards Innovation Reports …
This edited volume presents research results of the PPP European Green Vehicle Initiative (EGVI), focusing on electric vehicle batteries. Electrification is one road towards sustainable road transportation, and battery technology is one of the key enabling technologies. However, at the same time, battery technology is one of the main obstacles for a broad commercial launch of electric vehicles.…

Stabilization and Regulation of Nonlinear Systems
The topics of control engineering and signal processing continue to flourish and develop. In common with general scientific investigation, new ideas, concepts, and interpretations emerge quite spontaneously and these are then discussed, used, discarded, or subsumed into the prevailing subject paradigm. Sometimes, these innovative concepts coalesce into a new subdiscipline within the broad s…

Stabilization and Control of Fractional Order Systems: A Sliding Mode Approach
Calculus thrives on continuity. At its core is the assumption that things change smoothly, that everything is only infinitesimally different from what it was a moment before. Like a movie, calculus reimagines reality as a series of snapshots, and then recombines them, instant by instant, frame by frame, the succession of imperceptible changes creating an illusion of seamless flow. This way …

Stability of Linear Delay Differential Equations
Many problems of growing interest in science, engineering, biology, and medicine are modeled with systems of differential equations involving delay terms. In general, the presence of the delay in a model increases its reliability in describing the relevant real phenomena and predicting its behavior. Besides, the introduction of history in the evolution law of a system also augments its compl…

Stability of Functional Equations in Banach Algebras
The main purpose of this book is to present some of the old and recent results on homomorphisms and derivations in Banach algebras, quasi-Banach algebras, C-algebras, C-ternary algebras, non-Archimedean Banach algebras, and multinormed algebras. In 1940, S. M. Ulam [321] proposed a stability problem on group homomorphisms in metric groups. In 1941, D. H. Hyers [133] proved the stability of a…
