The ASI on Nonlinear Model Based Process Control (August 10-20, 1997~ Antalya - Turkey) convened as a continuation of a previous ASI which was held in August 1994 in Antalya on Methods of Model Based Process Control in a more general context. In 1994, the contributions and discussions convincingly showed that industrial process control would increasingly rely on nonlinear model based control systems. Therefore, the idea for organizing this ASI was motivated by the success of the first one, the enthusiasm expressed by the scientific community for continuing contact, and the growing incentive for on-line control algorithms for nonlinear processes. This is due to tighter constraints and constan...
The increasingly competitive environment within which modern industry has to work means that processes have to be operated over a wider range of conditions in order to meet constantly changing performance targets. Add to this the fact that many industrial operations are nonlinear, and the need for on-line control algorithms for nonlinear processes becomes clear. Major progress has been booked in constrained model-based control and important issues of nonlinear process control have been solved. This text surveys the state-of-the-art in nonlinear model-based control technology, by writers who have actually created the scientific profile. A broad range of issues are covered in depth, from traditional nonlinear approaches to nonlinear model predictive control, from nonlinear process identification and state estimation to control-integrated design. Advances in the control of inverse response and unstable processes are presented. Comparisons with linear control are given, and case studies are used for illustration.
O conceito de gênero sempre foi – e ainda é – uma temática que gerou discussões. Ao tensioná-lo e uni-lo a outros marcadores sociais da diferença, ou mesmo ao deslocá-lo, a fim de romper com o binômio feminino/masculino, emergem questões ainda mais complexas. A obra GÊNEROS E DIVERSIDADES EM FOCO: diálogos necessários se constitui em um espaço onde normas e padrões são postos em cheque por meio de análises aprofundadas em torno do gênero, na tentativa de romper com padrões sociais impostos que são a base para a propagação das mais diversas formas de violência.
