Report of the International Narcotics Control Board for 2012 - United Nations: International Narcotics Control Board - Bog - United Nations -

Report of the International Narcotics Control Board for 2012 - United Nations: International Narcotics Control Board - Bog - United Nations -

The report contains an analysis of the drug control situation worldwide so that Governments are kept aware of existing and potential situations that may endanger the objectives of the international drug control treaties. Divided into four parts, it covers the following topics: drugs and corruption, functioning of the international drug control system, analysis of the world situation and finally, a set of recommendations to Governments, the United Nations and other relevant international and regional organizations. A set of Annexes follows as well.

Centrifugal and Axial Compressor Control - Gregory Mcmillan - Bog - Momentum Press - Plusbog.dk

Centrifugal and Axial Compressor Control - Gregory Mcmillan - Bog - Momentum Press - Plusbog.dk

Control engineers, mechanical engineers and mechanical technicians will learn how to select the proper control systems for axial and centrifugal compressors for proper throughput and surge control, with a particular emphasis on surge control. Readers will learn to understand the importance of transmitter speed, digital controller sample time, and control valve stroking time in helping to prevent surge. Engineers and technicians will find this book to be a highly valuable guide on compressor control schemes and the importance of mitigating costly and sometimes catastrophic surge problems. It can be used as a self-tutorial guide or in the classroom with the book''s helpful end-of-chapter questions and exercises and sections for keeping notes.

A First Course in Control System Design - Kamran Iqbal - Bog - River Publishers - Plusbog.dk

A First Course in Control System Design - Kamran Iqbal - Bog - River Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Control systems are pervasive in our lives. Our homes have environmental controls. The appliances we use at home, such as the washing machine, microwave, etc. have embedded controllers. We fly in airplanes and drive automobiles, which make extensive use of control systems. The increasing automation in the past few decades has increased our reliance on control systems.A First Course in Control System Design discusses control systems design from a model-based perspective as applicable to single-input single-output systems. The emphasis in this book is on understanding and applying the techniques that enable the design of effective control systems. The book covers the time-domain and the frequency-domain design methods, as well as the design of continuous-time and discrete-time systems.Technical topics discussed in the book include: Modeling of physical systems Analysis of transfer function and state variable models Control system design via root locus Control system design in the state-space Control design of sampled-data systems Compensator design via frequency response modification

Computer-Based Industrial Control - Krishna Kant - Bog - PHI Learning - Plusbog.dk

Computer-Based Industrial Control - Krishna Kant - Bog - PHI Learning - Plusbog.dk

Intended primarily for undergraduate and postgraduate students of instrumentation/electronics engineering, the book will also be immensely useful for professionals and researchers in these fields. The book begins with a thorough introduction to automation its history, utility and the current scenario. It then moves on to discuss in detail the techniques, components, subsystems and system architectures relevant to process control. The control techniques covered include classical controls as well as newer controls such as model-based adaptive control, self-tuning control, expert systems and fuzzy logic control. The components consist of sensors and actuators of various types. The subsystems covered are SCADA systems, remote terminal units for telemetry and telecontrol, programmable controllers, distributed digital controllers and personal compute Also included are real-time operating systems and real-time programming languages. The major architectures discussed are distributed digital control, distributed SCADA system and multi-microprocessor architectures. The book thoroughly covers the various technological developments in this field. It also covers, through a number of case studies, the applications of computer-based control in major industries.

The Control Paradox - Ezio Di Nucci - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Control Paradox - Ezio Di Nucci - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Is technological innovation spinning out of control? Within one week in 2018, social media was revealed to have had a huge influence on the 2016 presidential election in the United States; while the first fatality from self-driving cars was recorded. What''s paradoxical about these understandable fears of machines taking control through software, robots and AI, is that often new technology is introduced for the very purpose of improving our control over a certain task. This is what Ezio di Nucci calls the ''control paradox''. Di Nucci also brings this notion to bear on politics: we delegate power and control to representatives in order for our country to be run by a centralised group of experts. However, recent populist uprisings have shown that populations can feel disempowered and neglected by this system. Through the notion of the control paradox, the author shows how this lack of control can be motivating populism and demonstrates that a better understanding of delegation would be a possible solution.

Self-Control, Decision Theory, and Rationality - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Self-Control, Decision Theory, and Rationality - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Thinking about self-control takes us to the heart of practical decision-making, human agency, motivation, and rational choice. Psychologists, philosophers, and decision theorists have all brought valuable insights and perspectives on how to model self-control, on different mechanisms for achieving and strengthening self-control, and on how self-control fits into the overall cognitive and affective economy. Yet these different literatures have remained relatively insulated from each other. Self-Control, Decision Theory, and Rationality brings them into dialog by focusing on the theme of rationality. It contains eleven newly written essays by a distinguished group of philosophers, psychologists, and decision theorists, together with a substantial introduction, collectively offering state-of-the-art perspectives on the rationality of self-control and the different mechanisms for achieving it.

Understanding Social Control - Martin Innes - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Understanding Social Control - Martin Innes - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

*Provides a clear, yet panoramic analysis of how the concept of social control has been used by different theoretical traditions in the social sciences.*Connects contemporary changes in areas such as policing, penal systems and surveillance, with wider and deeper changes in the constitution of society.*Employs empirical examples to illustrate key conceptual points.*Develops an innovative argument about the nature and scope of social control in late-modern societies.Understanding Social Control investigates how the concept of social control has been used to capture the ways in which individuals, communities and societies respond to a variety of forms of deviant behaviour. In so doing, the book demonstrates how an appreciation of the meanings of the concept of social control is vital to understanding the dynamics and trajectories of social order in contemporary late-modern societies. Through an analysis of a range of different modes of social control including: policing, imprisonment, surveillance, risk management, audit and architecture, this book explores how and why the mechanisms and processes of social control are changing. The book will be of interest to those studying courses in criminology and the social sciences, researchers with interests in the sociology of deviance and social control, and readers who want to understand the social forces that are shaping the world they live in.
