15th European Workshop on Advanced Control and Diagnosis (ACD 2019)
This book, published in two volumes, embodies the proceedings of the 15th European Workshop on Advanced Control and Diagnosis (ACD 2019) held in Bologna, Italy, in November 2019. It features contributed and invited papers from academics and professionals specializing in an important aspect of control and automation. The book discusses current theoretical research developments and open problems and illustrates practical applications and industrial priorities. With a focus on both theory and applications, it spans a wide variety of up-to-date topics in the field of systems and control, including robust control, adaptive control, fault-tolerant control, control reconfiguration, and model-based diagnosis of linear, nonlinear and hybrid systems. As the subject coverage has expanded to include cyber-physical production systems, industrial internet of things and sustainability issues, some contributions are of an interdisciplinary nature, involving ICT disciplines and environmental sciences. This book is a valuable reference for both academics and professionals in the area of systems and control, with a focus on advanced control, automation, fault diagnosis and condition monitoring.

From challenging familial, patriarchal cultural norms, building interethnic social networks in the neighborhood and workplace, and organizing labor unions, to fighting gender and racial discrimination in the courts, at work, in the schools, and on the streets, Ruiz’s studies have examined the cou...
2nd IMA Conference on Mathematics of Robotics
This book highlights the mathematical depth and sophistication of techniques used in different areas of robotics. Each chapter is a peer-reviewed version of a paper presented during the 2021 IMA Conference on the Mathematics of Robotics, held online September 8–10, 2021. The conference gave a platform to researchers with fundamental contributions and for academic and to share new ideas. The book illustrates some of the current interest in advanced mathematics and robotics such as algebraic geometry, tropical geometry, monodromy and homotopy continuation methods applied to areas such as kinematics, path planning, swam robotics, dynamics and control. It is hoped that the conference and this publications will stimulate further related mathematical research in robotics.
From Out of the Shadows
From Out of the Shadows was the first full study of Mexican-American women in the twentieth century. Beginning with the first wave of Mexican women crossing the border early in the century, historian Vicki L. Ruiz reveals the struggles they have faced and the communities they have built. In a narrative enhanced by interviews and personal stories, she shows how from labor camps, boxcar settlements, and urban barrios, Mexican women nurtured families, worked for wages, built extended networks, and participated in community associations--efforts that helped Mexican Americans find their own place in America. She also narrates the tensions that arose between generations, as the parents tried to rein in young daughters eager to adopt American ways. Finally, the book highlights the various forms of political protest initiated by Mexican-American women, including civil rights activity and protests against the war in Vietnam. For this new edition of From Out of the Shadows, Ruiz has written an afterword that continues the story of the Mexicana experience in the United States, as well as outlines new additions to the growing field of Latina history.
