I was originally asked to speak on the prospects of doing r physics at future B factories, i.e., machines to be designed and built in the upcomi ng decade(s) to achieve 1O34 luminosities at T(4S) energies. I have decided that I could give a more meaningful talk if the subject were the future of +r physics at the world’s existing B factory, namely CESR at Cornell. While I feel that much can and ...

An efficient method for evaluating inner products of repeated integrals and derivatives of a function described by a Laguerre model is presented. An immediate and promising application is model reduction of infinite-dimensional transfer functions. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This paper studies the H∞ control of infinitedimensional systems whose transfer matrices are expressible as a series connection of a rational transfer matrix and a scalar (possibly irrational) inner function. This class of systems is adequate for describing many control problems in practice, when weighting functions are rational and plants have at most finitely many unstable modes. We show that...

In this contribution, fractional-order controllers of the type PDμ and PIλ are applied to a class irrational transfer function models that appear in large-scale systems, such as networks mechanical/electrical elements distributed parameter systems. More precisely, by considering controller k p + η s α Laplace domain with − 1 ≤ , stability analysis parameter-space ( ) is presented. Furthermore, ...

With the development of economy, original pure rational strategic management could not adapt to the complex and ever-changing environment now. The world is changing and becoming more and more unpredictable with each passing day. A kind of irrational strategic management is emerging quietly. This passage introduces the development of irrational strategic management and its function in strategic ...

In this issue of the journal, Niinimäki et al., colleagues from a pioneering Finnish center in the development of elective single-embryo transfer (eSET), propose the expansion of eSET to suitable women at ages of 40-44 years. This paper offers not only a critique of their proposal but also of eSET in general.

Rational emotive behaviour therapists view stress-related disorders as originating in irrational beliefs (iB’s), phirosophies and anitudes, as opposed to the stressor. People who suffer from stress d@erfrom people who suffer from emotional or neurotic problems mainly an that the stressed people have iB’s about specific, short-term or more readdy identifiable events, as opposed w the more mundan...
