Deemed illicit by imperial rulers and clerics and officially banned by republican and communist leaders, the fox cult has managed to survive and flourish in individual homes and community shrines throughout northern China. In this new work, the first to examine the fox cult as a vibrant popular religion, Xiaofei Kang explores the manifold meanings of the fox spirit in Chinese society. Kang describes various cult practices, activities of worship, and the exorcising of fox spirits to reveal how the Chinese people constructed their cultural and social values outside the gaze of offical power and morality. 606 $aCults$zChina 606 $aFoxes$zChina$xReligious aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCults 615 0$aFoxes$xReligious aspects. 676 $a299.5/11212 700 $aKang$b Xiaofei$01040234 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454883403321 996 $aThe cult of the fox$92462932 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03920nam 22008174a 450 001 9911018932203321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786612684128 010 $a9786610510580 010 $a9780470394519 010 $a047039451X 010 $a9781282684126 010 $a1282684124 010 $a9781280510588 010 $a1280510587 010 $a9781847044624 010 $a184704462X 010 $a9780470612347 010 $a0470612347 010 $a9781847045621 010 $a1847045626 035 $a(CKB)1000000000335561 035 $a(EBL)700730 035 $a(OCoLC)769341521 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000130118 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11131722 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000130118 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10083666 035 $a(PQKB)10854827 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC700730 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC261399 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5076898 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL261399 035 $a(OCoLC)156938303 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5076898 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL51058 035 $a(Perlego)2756014 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000335561 100 $a20060316d2006 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aControl of continuous linear systems /$fKaddour Najim 210 $aLondon ;$aNewport Beach, CA $cISTE$d2006 215 $a1 online resource (350 pages) 225 1 $aISTE ;$vv.96 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9781905209125 311 08$a1905209126 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.

The main definitions and theoretical tools are summarized at the beginning of each chapter, after which the reader is guided through the problems and how to solve them. The author provides coverage of the ideas behind the developments of the main PID tuning techniques, as well as presenting the proof of the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion and giving some new results dealing with the design of root locus. 410 0$aISTE 606 $aLinear systems$xAutomatic control$xMathematics 606 $aLinear control systems 606 $aCalculus, Operational 615 0$aLinear systems$xAutomatic control$xMathematics. 615 0$aLinear control systems. 615 0$aCalculus, Operational. 676 $a629.8/32 700 $aNajim$b K$0627484 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911018932203321 996 $aControl of continuous linear systems$92122405 997 $aUNINA
