Michael Lewis, "Prohibition's Greatest Myths: The Distilled Truth about America's Anti-Alcohol Crusade" English | ISBN: 0807170380 | 2020 | 192 pages | EPUB | 3 MB The word "prohibition" tends to conjure up images of smoky basement speakeasies, dancing flappers, and hardened gangsters bootlegging whiskey. Such stereotypes, a prominent historian recently noted in the Washington Post, confirm that Americans' "common understanding of the prohibition era is based more on folklore than fact." Popular culture has given us a very strong, and very wrong, picture of what the period was like. Prohibition's Greatest Myths: The Distilled Truth about America's Anti-Alcohol Crusade

Lindsay Anderson, Jennifer Hall, Melanie Morgan, "Presentations That Matter" English | 2021 | ISBN: 161740649X | PDF | pages: 416 | 40.9 mb Predictive Learning Control for Unknown Nonaffine Nonlinear Systems: Theory and Applications English | 2023 | ISBN: 9811988560 | 361 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 40 MB This book investigates both theory and various applications of predictive learning control (PLC) which is an advanced technology for complex nonlinear systems. To avoid the difficult modeling problem for complex nonlinear systems, this book begins with the design and theoretical analysis of PLC method without using mechanism model information of the system, and then a series of PLC methods is designed that can cope with system constraints, varying trial lengths, unknown time delay, and available and unavailable system states sequentially. Applications of the PLC on both railway and urban road transportation systems are also studied. The book is intended for researchers, engineers, and graduate students who are interested in predictive control, learning control, intelligent transportation systems and related fields.
