The campaign was discernible from 2003 and intensified after a rift with Russia that led to a re-examination of the earlier policy of close political and economic partnership. David R. Marples focuses in particular on the years 2009 and 2010, which commemorated two 65th anniversaries: the liberation of Minsk (3 July 1944) and the end of World War II in Europe (9 May 1945). Using a variety of sources, this unique book critically examines the official interpretations of the war from various angles: the initial invasion, occupation, the Partisans, historic sites and monuments, films, documentaries, museums, schools, and public occasions commemorating some of the major events. Relying on first-hand research, including books recommended by the Ministry of Education, state-controlled media and examinations through personal visits to the major historic sites and monuments of Belarus, Marples explains and measures the effectiveness of Lukashenka‘s program. In outlining the main tenets of the state interpretation of the war years, the book highlights the distortions and manipulations of historical evidence as well as the dismissal of alternative versions as ‘historical revisionism.‘ It assesses the successes and weaknesses of the campaign as well as its long term effects and prospects.Soviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;124.BelarushistoriographypoliticsmemorializationSecond World Warcollective memoryAljaksandr LukashenkocampaignsGerman occupation1941-1944historymilitaryGreat Patriotic WarBelarushistoriographypoliticsmemorializationSecond World Warcollective memoryAljaksandr LukashenkocampaignsGerman occupation1941-1944historymilitaryGreat Patriotic War947.8086092R.

It is a continuation of the first volume by Alberto Isidori on Nonlinear Control Systems. Specifically this second volume will cover: • Stability analysis of interconnected nonlinear systems. The notion of Input-to-State stability and its role in analysing stability of cascade-connected or feedback-connected systems. The notion of dissipativity and its consequences (passivity and "gain"). • Robust stabilization in the case of parametric uncertainties. The case of state feedback: global or semi-global stabilization. The case of output feedback: semi-global stabilization. • Robust stabilization in the case of unstructured perturbations. Feedback design via the small-gain approach. Robust semi-global stabilization via output feedback. • Methods for asymptotic tracking, disturbance rejection and model following. Global and semi-global analysis. • Normal forms for multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems form a global point of view. Their role in feedback design.Communications and Control Engineering,2197-7119Automatic controlSystem theoryControl theoryMultibody systemsVibrationMechanics, AppliedElectrical engineeringEngineering mathematicsEngineeringData processingMathematical optimizationCalculus of variationsControl and Systems TheorySystems Theory, ControlMultibody Systems and Mechanical VibrationsElectrical and Electronic EngineeringMathematical and Computational Engineering ApplicationsCalculus of Variations and OptimizationAutomatic control.System theory.Control theory.Multibody systems.Vibration.Mechanics, Applied.Electrical engineering.Engineering mathematics.EngineeringData processing.Mathematical optimization.Calculus of variations.Control and Systems Theory.Systems Theory, Control.Multibody Systems and Mechanical Vibrations.Electrical and Electronic Engineering.Mathematical and Computational Engineering Applications.Calculus of Variations and Optimization.629.8Isidori Albertoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1757MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911150577003321Nonlinear control systems II239168UNINA
