This book presents the achievements in research of a special underactuated system called mobile wheeled inverted pendulum (MWIP) over recent years. Taking dynamic modeling, control, and simulation as mainline, this first introduces particularity, control challenges, applications MWIP system. The Lagrange function is adopted to model dynamics two-dimensional three-dimensional systems. Based on d...

Within half a century hospitals for children had become established features of the British medical landscape. By 1900, the formerly entrenched notion that sick children would not prosper away from home had given way to the other extreme. Now, it would seem, children required to be isolated in institutions entirely dedicated to their care. As Roger Cooter has indicated, there was a 'gradual dis...

Though Walvoord and McCarthy are the authors of this chapter, all team members have had input, and the chapter is based on the entire team's study. Thus "we" in this chapter refers to the team as a whole. We summarized some of our findings in Chapter 1 as a way of helping readers prepare for the classroom chapters. In this chapter, we complete that summary and we discuss implications of our stu...

la mouillabilite est un phenomene pui depend d'un grand nombre de facteurs. chacun de ces facteurs , qu'il soit d'order physipue ou chimipue, joue un grand role. on peut distinguer : 1 - la granulometrie du solide. elle est en relation avec la surface sped fipue des solides . plus cette surface est en grande, plus le mouillage est fort. 2 - la temperature : l'elevation de la...
