Lithium batteries were introduced relatively recently in comparison to lead- or nickel-based batteries, which have been around for over 100 years. Nevertheless, in the space of 20 years, they have acquired a considerable market share -- particularly for the supply of mobile devices. We are still a long way from exhausting the possibilities that...

Briefly presenting different methods from well established to more recent, Co-Clustering considers a number of different approaches and addresses the difficulty of these classical methods to tackle the high dimensionality, the sparsity, and the scalability that leads to co-clustering. In this text for scientists, researchers, and industrial...

Acoustic Particle Velocity Measurements Using Laser explains the recent research developments in studies on acoustic velocity and depicts their application to innovated causes. Techniques once developed for fluid mechanics are applied to acoustic velocity with informative and educational results....

Reverse Engineering in Control Design presents a variety of practical approaches for building a standard H problem, taking into account an initial controller. These approaches facilitate the mixing of various control objectives as well as the initialization of procedures for fixed-structure controller design. They are based on the Observer-Based...

Since the concept was first proposed at the end of the 20th Century, metamaterials have been the subject of much research and discussion throughout the wave community. More than 10 years later, the number of related published articles is increasing significantly. On the one hand, this success can be attributed to dreams of new physical objects...

The classic approach in Automatic Control relies on the use of simplified models of the systems and reformulations of the specifications. In this framework, the control law can be computed using deterministic algorithms. However, this approach fails when the system is too complex for its model to be sufficiently simplified, when the designer has...
