This coupled with the globalisation o...

Drug research and discovery are of critical importance in human health care. Computational approaches for drug lead discovery and optimization have proven successful in many recent research programs. These methods have grown in their effectiveness not only because of improved understanding of the basic science - the biological events and molecular interactions that define a target for therapeutic intervention - but also because of advances in ...

Dieses Buch behandelt die Anwendung der modernen Systemtheorie und den Einsatz von Digitalrechnern bei der Entwicklung hydrostatischer Antriebe und Steuerungen. Ausgangspunkt ist die Modellbildung, d. h. die Beschreibung des Antriebs durch Gleichungen. Diese werden bei der Stabilitätsanalyse untersucht, um ein stabiles, schwingungsfreies Arbeiten des Systems zu erreichen. Anschließend erfolgt die Simualtion des Betriebsverhaltens mit Hilfe ein...
