Nowadays, using electronic search engines has replaced visiting libraries for information allowing in-print, out of print and orphan works to be conjured up from cyberspace for ready perusal. Such “allowed” borrowing of content on the internet has created a whole…

The purpose of this analysis is to improve understanding of executive leadership in school improvement networks: for example, networks supported by comprehensive school reform providers, charter management organizations, and education management organizations. In this analysis, we review the literature on…

La critica morantiana ha ormai documentato il fatto che Elsa Morante aveva una profonda conoscenza delle filosofie e delle tradizioni letterarie orientali, anche se ancora non esistono studi che approfondiscano specificamente gli esiti teorici e formali di tali letture nell’opera…

The aim of this paper is to offer a functionally-motivated text typology framework which can serve as a basis for the description, comparison and classification of a wide variety of texts for generation purposes. For this task, we have adopted…

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…

Nutrigenomics covers disparate fields of nutrition science and has been defined in many different ways. In fact, this emerging field of science has multiple facets, many of which do not generate the same ethical issues. In particular, different ethical issues…

Purpose – The idea that knowledge management can be a potential source of competitive advantage has gained strength in the last few years. However, a number of business actions are needed to generate an appropriate environment and infrastructure for knowledge…

The ambiguity, robustness and performance of systems becomes increasingly evident as the complexity and size increase in industrial processes. Under these circumstances, conventional control techniques such as PID control, nonlinear feedback control, LQG control and H∞ control have several disadvantages…
