Containing 71 articles, Supplementary Volume 2, provides an up-to-date review of recent developments in the field of systems and control. New developments covered include: 'fuzzy logic control', 'neural nets in control systems' and 'robust stability and robust stable control'. Supplementary Volume 2 also provides coverage of the theory and application of systems in specific areas: modelling and simulation, traffic control and biological system...

As mankind continues to push back the boundaries and begins to explore other worlds and the ocean depths, a thorough understanding of how structures behave when subjected to extremes in temperature, pressure, and high loading rates will be essential. This symposium provided the perfect forum for presenting research into structures subjected to such extreme loads. There were a large number of papers presented under topics of impact, blast and s...

This publication summarizes the current status of our understanding of RNA, with particular emphasis on the chemistry of this key biological molecule. The various RNAs covered are messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA and RNA enzymes (ribozymes). The different chapters detail biophysical and chemical methods to investigate RNA structure and function, the synthesis of native and modified RNAs and the latest advances in our understanding of...

A summary of analytical techniques and capabilities in respect of nuclear forensics, this text encompasses the identification and characterisation of nuclear andnon-nuclear materials to identify the purpose and source of nuclearmaterial that is seized in illicit trafficking to determine the past history of the material.

This volume contains the proceedings from the COSPAR Colloquium on "Space Remote Sensing of Subtropical Oceans" which took place between 12 and 16 September, 1996, at the Institute of Oceanography of the National Taiwan University. Included are contributions addressing the issue, from scientific points of views, of why the first scientific satellite of Taiwan, ROCSAT-1, should be equipped with the Ocean Colour Imager (OCI) for oceanographic in...

The ability to conduct measurements on living organisms and systems has developed at a momentous rate concurrent with changes in technology over recent years. Measurement plays a vital role in developing our understanding of biological processes and in furthering our ability to understand and then treat illnesses and injuries. However, in conducting measurements on living organisms the information we collect comes in many different guises, is ...

The IFAC Workshop on Intelligent Components for Autonomous and Semi-Autonomous Vehicles (ICASAV '95) was held in Toulouse, France, 25-26 October 1995 and provided academic and industrial researchers from all over the world with an opportunity to discuss their experiences and research results in this field. Areas covered included vehicle dynamics, navigation, localization estimation, driver assistance and energy management.

This book adds much to the already evolving field of Design for Environment, but it goes far beyond most works on this subject by surrounding the central notions of life cycle assessment with a scientific body of knowledge and with a more practical slant reflecting the reality of the organizations in which product development occurs. Through a focus on plastic products, the authors show the importance of making ties between basic technical kno...

This publication contains 36 papers presented at four symposia during the Thirty-first COSPAR Scientific Assembly held in Birmingham, UK during 1996. Papers reflect the following symposia themes: life science support system studies, production, processing and waste recycling in a CELSS (Controlled Ecological Life Support System), biological effects of closure and recycling in a CELSS, nutrition and productivity for bioregenerative life support...
