An incredible and real story; Fuente s most awaited novel. Caressed by the gentle nighttime waves of a beach in the Pacific Ocean, the severed head of Josue Nadal remembers, digresses and tells its story. It knows that in the course of that year, his is the thousandth. It also knows the country cannot offer half of its population jobs, food or education. It knows that is why crime reigns. As if that weren t enough, it also knows that evil is celebrated as the greater good, as the natural consequence of will and fortune. Description in Spanish: Como Cain y Abel, dos hermanos se enfrentan por la amante de su padre, el hombre mas poderoso del pais. La voluntad y la fortuna es la gran novela del Mexico pasado y el presente de una «narconacion», la de todas las civilizaciones y mitologias, la del siglo XX. El destino como voluntad disfrazada es el tema de este relato, una de la obras mayores de la gran literatura hispanoamericana..

This book deals with locomotion control of biologically inspired robots realized through an analog circuital paradigm as cellular nonlinear networks It presents a general methodology for the control of bio-inspired robots and several case studies, as well as describes a new approach to motion control and the related circuit architecture.

Bio-inspired Emergent Control of Locomotion Systems provides researchers with a guide to the fundamentals of the topics. Moreover, neuro-biologists and physiologists can use the book as a starting point to design artificial structures for testing their biological hypotheses on the animal model..

Soft sensors are inferential estimators, drawing conclusions from process observations when hardware sensors are unavailable or unsuitable; they have an important auxiliary role in sensor validation when performance declines through senescence or fault accumulation.

The non-linear behaviour exhibited by many industrial processes can be usefully modelled with the techniques of computational intelligence: neural networks; fuzzy systems and nonlinear partial least squares.

Soft Sensors for Monitoring and Control of Industrial Processes underlines the real usefulness of each approach and the sensitivity of the individual steps in soft-sensor design to the choice of one or the other. Design paths are suggested and readers shown how to evaluate the effects of their choices. All the case studies reported, resulting from collaborations between the authors and a number of industrial partners, raised challenging soft-sensor-design problems. The applications of soft sensors presented in this volume are designed to cope with the whole range from measuring system backup and what-if analysis through real-time prediction for plant control to sensor diagnosis and validation. Some of the soft sensors developed here are implemented on-line at industrial plants.

Features:

• soft-sensor design;
• advice on data selection and choice of model structure;
• model validation;
• strategies for the improvement of soft-sensor performance;
• uses of soft sensors in fault detection and sensor validation;
• soft sensors in use in industrial applications such as a debutanizer column and a sulfur recovery unit.

This monograph guides interested readers – researchers, graduate students and industrial process technologists – through the design of their own soft sensors. It is self-contained with full references and appraisal of existing literature and data sets for some of the case studies can be downloaded from springer.com.
