Sommario/riassunto

Quale fu il ruolo svolto, nella radicale trasformazione ottocentesca dell'Impero ottomano, dai cristiani ottomani (greci, slavi, armeni e arabi)? Essi rappresentarono comunità dinamiche, colte e cosmopolite, decisive nella modernizzazione dell'Impero grazie anche ai loro rapporti con il mondo europeo. Ma la coabitazione tra le diverse comunità etniche e religiose, su cui si fondava la costruzione imperiale, fu messa in crisi dall'irrompere del modello occidentale di nazione. Il contributo dei cristiani ottomani alla modernizzazione finì così per ritorcersi contro di loro. Ai primi del Novecento, prevalse un nazionalismo turco anti-occidentale che li considerava complici dell'imperialismo europeo. La crisi del pluralismo ha segnato la fine della civiltà ottomana, i cui effetti si fanno sentire ancora oggi, aprendo la strada ad una prevalenza dell'Islam nei paesi del Mediterraneo orientale e meridionale.

From the Contents: Quantized H-infinity Control for Nonlinear Stochastic Time-delay Systems with Missing Measurements -- Nonlinear H-infinity Filtering for Discrete-Time Stochastic Systems with Missing Measurements and Randomly Varying Sensor Delays -- Robust H-infinity Filtering with Randomly Occurring Nonlinearities, Quantization Effects and Successive Packet Dropouts -- H-infinity Filtering with Randomly Occurring Sensor Saturations and Missing Measurements -- Distributed H-infinity Consensus Filtering in Sensor Networks with Multiple Missing Measurements: The Finite-Horizon Case.

Sommario/riassunto

Nonlinear Stochastic Processes addresses the frequently-encountered problem of incomplete information. The causes of this problem considered here include: missing measurements; sensor delays and saturation; quantization effects; and signal sampling. Divided into three parts, the text begins with a focus on H∞ filtering and control problems associated with general classes of nonlinear stochastic discrete-time systems. Filtering problems are considered in the second



part, and in the third the theory and techniques previously developed are applied to the solution of issues arising in complex networks with the design of sampled-data-based controllers and filters. Among its highlights, the text provides: ·         a unified framework for handling filtering and control problems in complex communication networks with limited bandwidth; ·         new concepts such as random sensor and signal saturations for more realistic modeling; and ·         demonstration of the use of techniques such as the Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaacs, difference linear matrix, and parameter-dependent matrix inequalities and sums of squares to handle the computational challenges inherent in these systems. The collection of recent research results presented in Nonlinear Stochastic Processes will be of interest to academic researchers in control and signal processing. Graduate students working with communication networks with lossy information and control of stochastic systems will also benefit from reading the book.

Sommario/riassunto

This book explores distinct forms of civil resistance in situations of violent conflict in cases across Latin America, drawing important lessons learned for nonviolent struggles in the region and beyond. The authors analyze campaigns against armed actors in situations of internal armed conflict, against private sector companies that seek to exploit natural resources, and against the state in defence of housing rights, bringing to light violent conflict in which people in Latin America have organized to resist imposition by powerful actors and/or confront violence and oppression. Each of the nine cases studied looks at the violent context in which civil resistance took place, its modality, its results and the factors that influenced these, as well as the challenges faced, offering useful insights for scholars and practitioners alike. Cécile Mouly is Research Professor at FLACSO Ecuador and a practitioner specializing in peace and conflict studies. Herpublications include various articles on civil resistance in the context of armed conflict, and the role of civil society in peacebuilding. Esperanza Hernández Delgado is Professor at the University of La Salle, Colombia, and peace researcher, lecturer and consultant on local peace initiatives, civil resistance, mediations in the Colombian armed conflict, peace processes and peace education. .
