Phylonyms A Companion to the PhyloCode

Phylonyms A Companion to the PhyloCode

Phylonyms is an implementation of PhyloCode which is a set of principles rules and recommendations governing phylogenetic nomenclature. Nearly 300 clades - lineages of organisms - are defined by reference to hypotheses of phylogenetic history rather than by taxonomic ranks and types. This volume will document the Real World uses of PhyloCode and will govern and apply to the names of clades while species names will still be governed by traditional codes. Key Features Provides clear regulations for implementing new guidelines for naming lineages of organisms incorporates expressly evolutionary and phylogenetic principles Works with existing codes of nomenclature Eliminates the reliance on rank-based classification in favor of phylogenetic relationships Related Titles: Rieppel O. Phylogenetic Systematics: Haeckel to Hennig (ISBN 978-1-4987-5488-0) Cantino P. D. and de Queiroz K.

Active Control of Noise and Vibration

Active Control of Noise and Vibration

Since the publication of the first edition considerable progress has been made in the development and application of active noise control (ANC) systems particularly in the propeller aircraft and automotive industries. Treating the active control of both sound and vibration in a unified way this second edition of Active Control of Noise and Vibration continues to combine coverage of fundamental principles with the most recent theoretical and practical developments. What’s New in This EditionRevised expanded and updated information in every chapterAdvances in feedforward control algorithms DSP hardware and applicationsPractical application examples of active control of noise propagating in ductsThe use of a sound intensity cost function model reference control sensing radiation modes modal filtering and a comparison of the effectiveness of various sensing strategiesNew material on feedback control of sound transmission into enclosed spacesNew material on model uncertainty experimental determination of the system model optimization of the truncated model collocated actuators and sensors biologically inspired control and a discussion of centralised versus de-centralised controlA completely revised chapter on control system implementationNew material on parametric array loudspeakers turbulence filtering and virtual sensingMore material on smart structures electrorheological fluids and magnetorheological fluidsIntegrating the related disciplines of active noise control and active vibration control this comprehensive two-volume set explains how to design and implement successful active control systems in practice. It also details the pitfalls one must avoid to ensure a reliable and stable system.

Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs (PKW 2017) February 22-24

Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs (PKW 2017) February 22-24

Since the first implementation by Electricité de France on the Goulours dam (France) in 2006 the Piano Key Weir has become a more and more applied solution to increase the discharge capacity of existing spillways. In parallel several new large dam projects have been built with such a flood control structure usually in combination with gates. Today more than 25 Piano Key Weirs are in operation or under construction all over the world. More than 15 years of research and development have enabled detailed investigations of the hydraulic and structural behaviour of the Piano Key Weir complex structure and have provided more and more accurate design equations. Following the proceedings of the first two workshops held in Liege (Belgium – 2011) and Paris (France – 2013) Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III collects the contributions presented by people with varied background from researchers to practitioners at the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs - PKW 2017 (22-24 February 2017 Qui Nhon Vietnam). The papers reviewed and accepted by an International Scientific Committee summarize the current state-of-the-art on Piano Key Weirs from a theoretical to a practical point of view and present most of the main projects in operation or under construction. Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III is thus a reference for students practitioners and researchers interested in Dams Engineering. | Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs III Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Labyrinth and Piano Key Weirs (PKW 2017) February 22-24

CRC World Dictionary of Palms Common Names Scientific Names Eponyms Synonyms and Etymology (2 Volume Set)

CRC World Dictionary of Palms Common Names Scientific Names Eponyms Synonyms and Etymology (2 Volume Set)

From the ForewordUmberto Quattrocchi has brought us some amazing and useful works through the various dictionaries that he has compiled. This time it is for two very important plant families the palms and the cycads that are synthesized here in these two volumes. Each entry is fascinating not just for the botany and full nomenclature of the plant species but for all the associated uses folklore and interactions with other organisms. . These entries are fascinating glimpses of natural history. . Botanists conservationists ethnobotanists anthropologists geographers bird watchers naturalists historians and those of many other disciplines will find these volumes a most valuable and useful resource. It is the sort of book that will be in frequent use in my library. - Professor Sir Ghillean Prance FRS VMH Former Director Royal Botanic Gardens Kew Following the same format as Umberto Quattrocchi’s highly praised and well-used previous works The CRC World Dictionary of Palms: Common Names Scientific Names Eponyms Synonyms and Etymology brings together the vast and scattered literature on palms and cycads to provide better access to information on these economically important plants. Each genus and species has a detailed morphological description and includes a list of synonyms and vernacular names in many languages. Bibliographies accompany each entry which are comprehensive up-to-date and multi-lingual. The detailed information for every entry on habitats economic uses historical and biographical data botanical exploration and linguistics will be useful for any library involved with botany herbal medicine pharmacognosy medicinal and natural product chemistry ecology ethnobotany systematics general plant science agriculture or horticulture. Umberto Quattrocchi is the author of the bestselling CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names winner of the prestigious Hanbury Botanical Garden Award. His most recent multi-volume work CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants received strong praise as being . an unparalleled starting place—a tool of first resort for any thoughtful researcher. Quattrocchi and CRC have delivered a dictionary like no other a learned finger pointing in the right direction. —John de la Parra Northeastern University Boston Massachusetts USA from Economic Botany Vol. 68 2014 | CRC World Dictionary of Palms Common Names Scientific Names Eponyms Synonyms and Etymology (2 Volume Set)
