Sommario/riassunto |
|
Edited and with an afterword by George LipsitzBlue-collar intellectual and activist, Stan Weir devoted his life to the advocacy of his fellow workers. Singlejack Solidarity offers a rare look at life and social relations as seen from the factory, dockside, and the shop floor. Gathered here for the first time, Weir's writings-part memoir, labor history, and polemic-document a crucial chapter in the story of working-class America. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
A complete study on an important class of linear dynamical systems-positive linear systemsOne of the most often-encountered systems in nearly all areas of science and technology, positive linear systems is a specific but remarkable and fascinating class. Renowned scientists Lorenzo Farina and Sergio Rinaldi introduce readers to the world of positive linear systems in their rigorous but highly accessible book, rich in applications, examples, and figures.This professional reference is divided into three main parts: The first part contains the definitions and basic properties of p |
