Towards a Fairer Future for Live Performers. 330 $aThis open access book focuses on the distinctive experiences of freelance and self-employed live performers in the UK's live entertainment industries It provides an in-depth account of their working lives during COVID-19, showing how their experiences of the pandemic provide insight into the different types of precarity shaping what it means to be a live performer. A growing body of academic research has focused on the meaning, experience, and nature of precarity for those working in the cultural and creative sector, highlighting the problem of socio-economic precarity. This book demonstrates how a constant struggle for recognition also shapes the contours and lived experiences of live performance work. It emphasizes how, combined with affective and socio-economic forms of precarity, this recognitive precarity creates a distinctive and challenging set of working conditions. Drawing on original data generated through a national survey of self-employed and freelance performers across the live entertainment industries, combined with insights derived from a series of in-depth semi-structured interviews, this book presents an empirically rich insight into the struggles and opportunities presented by the multiple forms of precarity that the pandemic brought to the fore. It gives voice to a precarious workforce that remains integral to one of the UK's most economically buoyant sectors but whose experiences are often marginalized in academic research, and in policy and practice. It will, therefore, offer a unique insight for both students and scholars of work and employment, and for those working in the cultural and creative sector, into the distinctive nature of work as a freelance or self-employed live performer.

The plant models and design algorithms are provided in a MATLABŪ toolbox (downloadable from www.springer.com/978-1-4471-7455-4) that enable both academic examples and industrial application studies to be repeated and evaluated, taking into account practical application and implementation problems. The text makes nonlinear control theory accessible to readers having only a background in linear systems, and concentrates on real applications of nonlinear control. It covers: different ways of modelling nonlinear systems including state space, polynomial-based, linear parameter varying, state-dependent and hybrid; design techniques for nonlinear optimal control including generalised-minimum-variance, model predictive control, quadratic-Gaussian, factorised and H? design methods; design philosophies that are suitable for aerospace, automotive, marine, process-control, energy systems, robotics, servo systems and manufacturing; steps in design procedures that are illustrated in design studies to define cost-functions and cope with problems such as disturbance rejection, uncertainties and integral wind-up; and baseline non-optimal control techniques such as nonlinear Smith predictors, feedback linearization, sliding mode control and nonlinear PID. Nonlinear Industrial Control Systems is valuable to engineers in industry dealing with actual nonlinear systems. It provides students with a comprehensive range of techniques and examples for solving real nonlinear control design problems. 606 $aAutomatic control 606 $aIndustrial engineering 606 $aProduction engineering 606 $aAutomotive engineering 606 $aChemical engineering 606 $aCalculus of variations 606 $aControl and Systems Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T19010 606 $aIndustrial and Production Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22008 606 $aAutomotive Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17047 606 $aIndustrial Chemistry/Chemical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C27000 606 $aCalculus of Variations and Optimal Control; Optimization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26016 615 0$aAutomatic control. 615 0$aIndustrial engineering. 615 0$aProduction engineering. 615 0$aAutomotive engineering. 615 0$aChemical engineering. 615 0$aCalculus of variations. 615 14$aControl and Systems Theory. 615 24$aIndustrial and Production Engineering. 615 24$aAutomotive Engineering. 615 24$aIndustrial Chemistry/Chemical Engineering. 615 24$aCalculus of Variations and Optimal Control; Optimization. 676 $a629.8312 700 $aGrimble$b Michael J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0491140 702 $aMajecki$b Pawe?$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483841203321 996 $aNonlinear Industrial Control Systems$92186273 997 $aUNINA
