Introduction to Digital Control of Linear Time Invariant Systems
by Ayachi Errachdi, Author;
English | 2022 | ISBN: 152758271X | 264 pages | True PDF | 8.86 MB
This easy-to-follow guide provides students, teachers and industrial engineers with the necessary steps in discretizing continuous systems. It covers fundamental concepts in sampling and reconstruction of signal, and details the inspection method, the direct division method, the partial-fraction expansion method, the recurrence inversion method and the contour integration method. The book also introduces the transfer function and the stability condition of discrete-time systems in the closed loop. Indeed, it explains the global stability definition, the algebraic stability criterion and the stability in the frequency domain. The book also details the synthesis of digital controller for linear time invariant system and the use of a digital PID controller in practical speed control of a DC motor using an arduino card, to encourage readers to explore new applied areas of digital control.

Introducing Cisco Unified Computing System
by Stuart Fordham
English | 2023 | ISBN: 978-1484289853 | 153 pages | True PDF EPUB | 35.75 MB
The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) can be found in the majority of data centers across the world. However, getting hands-on practice to learn this infrastructure can be difficult, as many companies will push to have it production-ready as soon as possible. Home-labs are also cost-prohibitive, cumbersome, electricity-hungry, and noisy.

Integrated Pest Management in Diverse Cropping Systems
by Devendra Pal Singh
English | 2023 | ISBN: 978-1774911167 | 580 pages | True PDF | 14.49 MB
Climate change has intensified in recent decades, which has affected crop production as well as facilitated the emergence of new diseases and insect pests, causing serious threats to agriculture. Farmers have mostly taken a crop-based approach to insect pest management (IPM); the authors of this new volume, however, take the unique approach that IPM based on specific cropping systems is more efficient, resulting in reduced cultivation costs, increased yield and profitability, and decreased residue from crop produce and products. This volume presents the results of research done by crop protection scientists on integrated pest management in diverse cropping systems based on rice, wheat, maize, pulses, food legumes, oilseeds, groundnut, potato, and other horticulture crops.
