Extend your C# skills to F#—and create data-rich computational and parallel software components faster and more efficiently. Focusing on F# 3.0 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2012, you’ll learn how to exploit F# features to solve both computationally-complex problems as well as everyday programming tasks. 
 Topics include: C# and F# data structures; F# for functional, object-oriented, and imperative programming; design patterns; type providers; and portable support for Windows 8. You’ll examine real-world applications, including Windows 8-style HTML5 and JavaScript apps, along with cloud and service apps. You’ll write your own type provider. And you’ll see how to expand F# computation power to high-performance GPU computing.

Industrial Process Identification and Control Design: Step-test and Relay-experiment-based Methods (Advances in Industrial Control)

Industrial Process Identification and Control Design is devoted to advanced identification and control methods for the operation of continuous-time processes both with and without time delay, in industrial and chemical engineering practice. The simple and practical step- or relay-feedback test is employed when applying the proposed identification techniques, which are classified in terms of common industrial process type: open-loop stable; integrating; and unstable, respectively. Correspondingly, control system design and tuning models that follow are presented for single-input-single-output processes. Furthermore, new two-degree-of-freedom control strategies and cascade control system design methods are explored with reference to independently-improving, set-point tracking and load disturbance rejection. Decoupling, multi-loop, and decentralized control techniques for the operation of multiple-input-multiple-output processes are also detailed. Perfect tracking of a desire output trajectory is realized using iterative learning control in uncertain industrial batch processes. All the proposed methods are presented in an easy-to-follow style, illustrated by examples and practical applications. This book will be valuable for researchers in system identification and control theory, and will also be of interest to graduate control students from process, chemical, and electrical engineering backgrounds and to practising control engineers in the process industry.

Smart Energy: From Fire Making to the Post-Carbon World first traces the history of mankind's discovery and use of energy. It then reviews contemporary issues such as global warming, environmental deterioration, depletion of carbon energy sources, and energy disputes. Next, it evaluates technical innovations, system change, and international cooperation. Then, it tackles how civilization will evolve in light of meeting future energy needs, how Smart Energy will meet these needs, and defines the global mission. It ends with a summary of China’s vision of a Smart Energy future. This is required reading for everyone concerned about energy, environment, economy, human survival, and development .

Rotor angle stability is a topic of fundamental importance in electric power systems. Traditionally, rotor angle stability analysis is oriented to node dynamics, especially the impact of generator modeling and parameters. On the other hand, the power network structural information is simply treated as some coefficients in the system dynamical models, which have been paid less attention. This monograph surveys the network-based theories of rotor angle stability that elaborate the role of power network structure, including the results developed in early years as well as in recent years that are facilitated by the new progress on graph theory. It focuses on the connections between power network structures and system dynamic behaviors, and those graph theoretic tools tailored for power system analysis.This publication provides new insights into some important problems in rotor angle stability that have not been well addressed by the traditional node-based approaches. Network-Based Analysis of Rotor Angle Stability of Power Systems is a must-read for all students and researchers working on the cutting edge of electric power systems.

Die Studie analysiert erstmals die Einführung einer gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung in China in den 2000er Jahren, basierend auf umfangreichen Feldforschungen. Mit der Unfallversicherung hat sich China für die Idee individueller sozialer Rechte geöffnet, die weder in der konfuzianischen noch der sino-kommunistischen Tradition verankert ist. Der Autor zeigt, dass dieser Durchbruch wesentlich auf Prozesse globaler Wissensdiffusion zurückzuführen ist, zu der internationale Organisationen und vor allem die Träger der deutschen gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung beigetragen haben. Ergänzend wird die weltweite Verbreitung unterschiedlicher Modelle der Unfallversicherung dargestellt. Theoretisch wird die Diffusion in den Zusammenhang einer emergierenden «Weltkultur» gestellt.

《走来走去》是街拍摄影师刘涛作品首次结集，由Lens编辑呈现。包含了他近六年街拍的首次结集、他对女儿刘小米的成长记录（首次公开）、Lens和刘涛的对话、艺术家马良、学者任悦的评论文章等。-------------------------------Lens作品：《目客》系列《目客001：花朵与我》《目客002：我这样爱你》《目客003：山本耀司》《目客004：猫》《视觉》系列《视觉001：激情藏在安静的角落》《视觉002：想在一生中做一件正确的事》《视觉003：不需要安全感就是自由》《视觉004：需要什么，年轻的身体便去找寻》《视觉005：以手抵心》《视觉006：我停在你将回来的地方》影像系列《把青春唱完》《走来走去》·抄表工刘涛近六年街拍首次结集，Lens编辑出版。·近六年来，刘涛围绕合肥同一条街道，每天步行拍摄4-6个小时。天赋和时间，凝结为一份“平凡之燃”。他的作品和人生，透着今天极度匮乏的品质和态度。·刘涛不仅是用一台小数码相机创作了这些作品，而且，他在书中真实地剖析了自己的成长过程：从模仿别人起步，到在作品中融入自己的情绪，以及面临其他诱惑和干扰时的反应……每一个踏实做事的人，都能从书中感受到一份惺惺相惜。·对于所有面临人生抉择的年轻人来说，刘涛的人生轨迹带来了丰富的启示，而他的作品，也从生活的真实和逼仄中，扒开一道缝隙，带来一丝诙谐。·刘涛的街拍作品诠释了街头摄影的迷人之处：那种自由、开放和无限的好奇心。·刘涛拍摄女儿成长的照片首次公开：天真，纯粹，好玩儿。他对女儿说，“这本书证明了我是和你一起成长……”·“这是眼光的智慧”，策展人、摄影评论人鲍昆评论刘涛说，“若说有个‘决定性的瞬间’的话，这才是。他的每张照片都有倒错的符号关系，令人忍俊不禁。”·学者任悦说，刘涛的照片在互联网上被疯狂传播，我们误以为是因其通俗，实际上，是因为在一个相当之窄的频率上，他让我们这些“所有人”产生了共鸣：“那些一刹那就会溜走的人情，都会给他准确无误地捡走。”·刘涛的画面里，“有我们每个人鱼水难离的中国式生活，吞吞吐吐的人世间所有无可抗拒的温暖和艰辛”，艺术家马良评论说，“他不是个愤世嫉俗者，又天性幽默，所以他的照片里有了生机勃勃的天地众生，我真喜欢那些诚实的小照片儿啊。”·300多张全版大图，近似明信片硬度和质量的印刷，裸脊锁线装订，非常舒服的翻阅体验。海报：合肥工业大学校园围墙上有一排球形的灯，整齐地排列着，只有一个坏了，歪扭着，像是被拗断了脖子。这个灯的侧面被画了一个笑脸，仿佛正歪着脑袋做鬼脸——这正是刘涛的手笔。这种幽默感，也成为他照片的一个特质。这些照片，让他在网络上爆红，包括央视、《时代》、BBC在内的各种媒体蜂拥而来。热度最高时，一天会有几家媒体采访，让他根本分不清谁是谁。最初接受采访前，他都要先喝上五六瓶啤酒，喝得醉醺醺的，才去回答记者的问题，“不喝酒好像很难愿意敞开心扉似的”。但长时间暗中摸索，缺乏知音，也让刘涛有很强烈的倾诉欲，他说自己“热情得吓人，什么都说··那把我激动的”。有一次，一位跟摄影有关的朋友从北京来看刘涛，被刘涛极为热情地招待，对方走后给他发微信说：“我真帮不了你什么。”刘涛觉得有点儿冤枉：“好
