Evangelists of Destruction: Missions to Native Americans in Recent Film; Notes; Contributors; Index This volume is the first to examine at length and in detail the impact of the missionary experience on American cultural, political, and religious history. This collection of 15 essays provides a fully developed account of the domestic significance of foreign missions from the 19th century through the Vietnam War. U.S. and Canadian missions to China, South America, Africa, and the Middle East have, it shows, transformed the identity and purposes of their mother countries in important ways.

Boguslavskiy ; edited by Mark Borodovsky1st ed. 2016.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2016.1 online resource (219 p.)Description based upon print version of record.3-319-04035-9 Includes bibliographical references.From the Contents: Linear Estimators of a Random-Parameter Vector.-Basis of the Method of Polynomial Approximation -- Polynomial Approximation and Optimization of Control -- Polynomial Approximation Technique Applied to Inverse Vector Functions -- Identification of Parameters of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems: Smoothing, Filtering and Forecasting the State Vector -- Estimating Status Vectors from Sight Angles -- Estimation of Parameters of Stochastic Models -- Designing the Control of Motion to a Target Point of Phase Space -- Inverse Problems of Dynamics Algorithm for Identifying Parameters of an Aircraft.This monograph is an exposition of a novel method for solving inverse problems, a method of parameter estimation for time series data collected from simulations of real experiments. These time series might be generated by measuring the dynamics of aircraft in flight, by the function of a hidden Markov model used in bioinformatics or speech recognition or when analyzing the dynamics of asset pricing provided by the nonlinear models of financial mathematics. Dynamic Systems Models demonstrates the use of algorithms based on polynomial approximation which have weaker requirements than already-popular iterative methods. Specifically, they do not require a first approximation of a root vector and they allow non-differentiable elements in the vector functions being approximated. The text covers all the points necessary for the understanding and use of polynomial approximation from the mathematical fundamentals, through algorithm development to the application of the method in, for instance, aeroplane flight dynamics or biological sequence analysis. The technical material is illustrated by the use of worked examples and methods for training the algorithms are included. Dynamic Systems Models provides researchers in aerospatial engineering, bioinformatics and financial mathematics (as well as computer scientists interested in any of these fields) with a reliable and effective numerical method for nonlinear estimation and solving boundary problems when carrying out control design. It will also be of interest to academic researchers studying inverse problems and their solution.Statistical physicsMathematical modelsAerospace engineeringAstronauticsSignal processingImage processingSpeech processing systemsEconomics, MathematicalApplications of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33020Mathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14068Aerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Signal, Image and Speech Processinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24051Quantitative Financehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13062Statistical physics.Mathematical models.Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Signal processing.Image processing.Speech processing systems.Economics, Mathematical.Applications of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Theory.Mathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Signal, Image and Speech Processing.Quantitative Finance.530Boguslavskiy Josif Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut803803Borodovsky Markedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910254629403321Dynamic Systems Models2513928UNINA
