The types of cursive script, conventionally labelled Old Roman Cursive (1st-3rd centuries) and New Roman Cursive (from the 3rd century) are illustrated, with layout of different kinds of documents, tables of letter forms and the most important abbreviations, signs and conventions. This makes important contributions to our knowledge of the origins and early history of Roman cursive as well as the long-standing debate among palaeographers about how and why the essential character of the scripts underwent obvious technical and stylistic changes in the course of the third century CE. A practice-based approach to the subject examines the evidence for the ways in which people may have learnt to read and write cursive in antiquity and the implications for the spread of literacy. For the modern reader, it provides a step-by-step guide to deciphering and interpreting Roman cursive texts, including video tutorials. Finally, it offers an exploration through text and video of the technologies of the digital age, including multispectral analysis and Reflectance Transformation Imaging, which have been pioneered at the Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents since the 1990s and have greatly improved the image-capturing techniques and the visibility of damaged documents written on wood, papyrus and various metals.WritingAbility testingWritingAbility testing.302.2244Mullen Alex618415Bowman AlanNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910573820803321Scripts and Texts3015200UNINA03112nam 2200421 450 991047675600332120230515173851.0(CKB)5470000000566739(NjHacI)995470000000566739(EXLCZ)99547000000056673920230515d2020 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSparsity methods for systems and control /Masaaki NagaharaNorwell, Massachusetts :Now Publishers,[2020]©20201 online resource (xvii, 241 pages) illustrationsNowOpen in technology1-68083-724-9 1.

Advanced Topics.The method of sparsity has been attracting a lot of attention in the fields related not only to signal processing, machine learning, and statistics, but also systems and control. The method is known as compressed sensing, compressive sampling, sparse representation, or sparse modeling. More recently, the sparsity method has been applied to systems and control to design resource-aware control systems. This book gives a comprehensive guide to sparsity methods for systems and control, from standard sparsity methods in finite-dimensional vector spaces (Part I) to optimal control methods in infinite-dimensional function spaces (Part II). The primary objective of this book is to show how to use sparsity methods for several engineering problems. For this, the author provides MATLAB programs by which the reader can try sparsity methods for themselves. Readers will obtain a deep understanding of sparsity methods by running these MATLAB programs. Sparsity Methods for Systems and Control is suitable for graduate level university courses, though it should also be comprehendible to undergraduate students who have a basic knowledge of linear algebra and elementary calculus. Also, especially part II of the book should appeal to professional researchers and engineers who are interested in applying sparsity methods to systems and control.Automatic controlDesign and constructionAutomatic controlMathematical modelsCompressed sensing (Telecommunication)Automatic controlDesign and construction.Automatic controlMathematical models.Compressed sensing (Telecommunication)629.89Nagahara Masaaki1278821NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910476756003321Sparsity Methods for Systems and Control3013963UNINA
