Following the deaths of Victoria Climbié and of Peter Connelly (Baby P) the media has raged about social work competence, the public have expressed dismay and the government has responded with proposals designed to alter practice procedures. Altering procedures gives…

Capitulo en libro, muestra resultados del análisis de la contribución de las redes sociales, en la medida que aportan estrategias que permiten a los migrantes mexicanos comenzar negocios propios en el suroeste de Michigan. Los casos analizados son parte de…

Investigates informal leisure uses of technology, including developing home pages, building special interest sites, surfing the Net and participating in electronic communities.

Tennis is a sport that is characterized by intermittent dynamics, with intervallic moderate and high-intensity efforts due to repetitive actions of short-duration and high intensity. This review analyzes aspects such as the game's temporal structure, oxygen consumption, heart rate, lactate…

In this work, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are used to generate the flow of linear polymer chains (monomer-springs with FENE potential) and a Lennard-Jones fluid (Newtonian fluid) through a con traction-expansion (4:1:4) geometry. An external force field simulating a constant…

In this paper an adaptive fuzzy decentralized
control algorithm for trajectory tracking of robot manipulators is developed. The proposed decentralized control algorithm allows the overall closed-loop system to be stabilized while making the tracking error to be uniformly ultimately bounded…

Using the underlying idea of the current-mode control, a new dynamical, sliding-mode control for the boost dc-dc converter is proposed. Such controller is easy to design, robust under load and input voltage variations, exhibits fast response, does not depend on…
